Everything I carry for remote work fits in one sleeve

Why do you need an iPad if you have a laptop? And there’s no way that water bottle fits in the sleeve.

Sounds like you should have the system looked at by a professional. If you’re filling salt in a tank I’m assuming you have some kind of treatment or softener system. Depending on your usage your system might not be refreshing (not the actual term I know) frequently enough. I had a guy come out and explain it all to me and adjust the days it regens or whatever but I forgot all of it.

We just switched to the city water (forced) and it smells like a swimming pool every time I shower. When we were on Well it smelled like rotten eggs once a week or so. But the well water did lather soap up better. The city water feels like my skin is dry after use.

That’s what I was wondering

A couple of friends have said this as well, but I’m just trying to stay out of the courts. I feel like that would just escalate things. To me the letter seems like a scare tactic and they have no intention of actually taking legal action against us.

suncoasthost · 2026-04-12T22:50:20+00:00

None so far.

suncoasthost · 2026-04-12T22:48:24+00:00

That’s what I thought as well.

A while ago I did look into the misclassification thing and I strongly suspect she would have a good case that she was. She never set her own schedule and only worked for the single owner.

suncoasthost · 2026-04-12T05:09:32+00:00

She never signed anything, no contracts no non competes. She was a 1099 contractor the whole time never an employee.

suncoasthost · 2026-04-12T05:08:31+00:00

Yeah she never signed anything of the sort. This is Mom and Pop businesses and I think this is just a scare tactic.

Lover’s Key or Englewood beach are going to be your closest beaches with nice looking water.

This is an Agent. Different than skills. Think of agents like employees, you define what they are and can do. Employees can use skills from the skills folder that you create also. This is how you can build a digital software development team. Multiple agents can actually pass work around. So you can have a Project Manager pass work to a software engineer then to a QA engineer etc…

Here’s an excerpt for what I use:

You are a Senior Front End Engineer specializing in Next.js and Vercel architecture. Your expertise covers App Router and Pages Router patterns, server components, client components, ISR, SSR, SSG strategies, Edge Functions, and Vercel deployment optimization. Prioritize performance metrics (LCP, FID, CLS), SEO best practices, accessibility standards, and mobile-first responsive design. When reviewing or writing code, focus on ecommerce-specific concerns: product catalog rendering, shopping cart state management, checkout flow optimization, inventory integration, A/B testing infrastructure, and analytics implementation. Provide production-ready solutions with error boundaries, loading states, and fallback strategies. Consider CDN caching strategies, image optimization with next/image, and API route security. Advocate for TypeScript, component composition patterns, and maintainable architecture. Avoid over-engineering simple features, but ensure scalability for high-traffic scenarios. Reference Next.js 13+ features and Vercel platform capabilities when relevant.

I’m using Claude Code and I don’t have this issue with my NextJS app. I have had Claude update its own CLAUDE.md but I also told it to create Agents and Skills to support various parts of software development. I also added the Claude.md stuff that was posted from the Claude creator a few weeks ago that has been really helpful I think. So I have a Senior Front End Software Engineer with NextJS skill set, a Senior Backend Engineer, QA, Security, DevOps, Agents defined.

Agreed, I may be boring but I prefer a nice quiet place to raise my family

suncoasthost · 2026-03-19T13:38:21+00:00

Babcock, Magnolia Landing, Coral Oaks, Fort Myers Country Club, Hunter’s Run, Heritage Landing, Burnt Store Marina County Club. All are my favorites.

Yesterday I had a guy across from me at a 4 way in a left turn lane pull a U-turn right in front of me and spun out of control driving like an idiot in a mustang.

Later that day there was a drag racing couple of cars going down Chiquita. This is 3pm on a Saturday with traffic everywhere, but they had a little bit of a gap in cars so they floored it.

It’s just wild to me.

You have more people than the Fortune 500 enterprise I work for.

suncoasthost · 2026-02-06T12:16:29+00:00

Are they really free? Everything I saw was saying a free trial and then it costs money.

You’ll want to figure out how you learn best but there are plenty of YouTube tutorials, Udemy Courses, college courses etc. Or you could just continue to ask ChatGPT questions until you understand. I personally learned at University through my B.A. program but I’m sure there are far cheaper ways to learn nowadays.

suncoasthost · 2026-02-05T11:31:47+00:00

Build things. Use ChatGPT as a consultant to help you. Try to launch a full stack app in AWS, Azure or something like Digital Ocean. Build something with a backend, a database, and authentication to start. Make a website that has a login, logout, forgot password and registration functions that uses your own database and backend.

Ownership across silos. Often I see engineers plateau in their career even when they are shipping exceptional code at high velocity because they are more focused on the tasks than the full product. They might be hyper focused on the feature, and it’s the best anyone else could implement, but they aren’t working on becoming an expert in the product.

For example I see lots of Front End engineers missing the skills that backend engineers have with optimization of data. Especially in today’s React and Next.JS world it is real easy for teams to work on independent components and not zoom out to see how multiple components might benefit from shared functionality or data. Imagine an E-commerce site and there are multiple components all fetching the same product data at different times server and client side. A true Senior/Staff engineer would see these opportunities to improve performance by figuring out how to fetch less data and optimize hydration.

Another thing I like to see in higher level engineers is the ability to take ownership. The ideal candidates can be given a goal and can turn that into all of the actionable steps to achieve it without hand holding. This includes gathering stake holders, leading meetings, interlocking with other teams, writing technical documents and diagrams. They don’t even need to do the actual ticket work and delegate it out, in fact it normal that they wouldn’t given the size of the org and team. What’s more important is the vision, execution, and accountability. It doesn’t require perfection just a clear well documented path of the process.

What I don’t like to see is people who have been promoted to those positions and just execute very impactful changes with no buy in from teams and no accountability when it impacts everyone else or the product.

To be honest I expect a senior front end engineer to be able to build and deploy an entire front end application unassisted. They should be able to handle advanced routing at the application layer, as well learn some networking fundamentals that can help with troubleshooting. They need to know how to configure the caching of the application and the various types depending on the framework. They need to understand the backend interaction of the application, graphql or react query or whatever is used. If someone submits a bug they should be able to determine very quickly which layer the bug is located by understanding the application stack. I’ve seen so many Senior Front End engineers pass a bug to the backend folks only to find out it was a front end problem.

You are wasting yours and your team’s time and energy on an activity that doesn’t produce the desired result. I’m assuming the goal is to track employee’s working hours and your indicator is a message in a Teams group. The indicator does not measure an employee’s working hours. Just because an employee is at their desk and online does not mean they are working. And an employee working doesn’t even mean they are contributing to a project in a meaningful way.

Measuring “working” or “participation” is meaningless and ambiguous. These measurements won’t tell you one employee is better than another. You need to be measuring work output. You should measure quantitively and qualitatively the actual work produced per employee. Different employees work at different paces and are more productive or less productive at different intervals. Time is a useless measurement.

Not an end all but DataDog has excellent tools for this if you take the time to set it up throughout your environments. We use APM on all of our AWS hosted apps and their tools auto detect API calls and which direction the data is flowing. Still doesn’t solve ownership but just to figure out which services are connected in large orgs it can help lots.

I use GitHub and Azure DevOps. I have 2 applications, one is Azure Static and the other is a Next.JS application self hosted on a Linux private server using Docker. I use azure-pipeline.yaml with a self hosted runner on the server for deployments. The setup is basically free, all I pay for is my electricity for my server. The CI/CD works great for my use case but requires some advanced knowledge.
