Hello again!

We are doing introductions?

I'm Dutch living in Madrid, Spain. I have been working on my own startup Nusii (online proposal software) for 10 the last 10 years.

I recently started to do some temporary freelancing on the side just for fun.

I like playing the drums 🥁

I didn't expect this but I could understand 100%. I think, because you pronounced most technical words the English way 😅

Totally loved the talk! Really, became a little bit smarter after it :) I had no clue how this stuff worked under the hood.

10/10! 👏

Doing customer interviews is the secret sauce! It separates the people who never ship or ship something wrong to the people who get a business out of the ground.

Good luck! I'm going to try if I can follow technical Spanish 😅

My kids introduced me to Zaz, totally awesome!

What does this mean? 😅

Also they make me write a short security guide, which I promised to make… In Spanish… 🤪😅

Respect! This stuff is so difficult when you also have normal life in the way 😅

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 2d

I had a chat about security and all the ways you can get hacked with my offline none geeky friends last weekend. And I think I scared the shit out of them 🤣

It is concerning how little normal people do to be safe.

I use it and it is perfect for my use case. which is just syncing with my Fastmail calendar and sending out schedule links to customers.

I was hoping someone would notice 🤣

Hanging out with the doggy and indirectly with @briancasel.com and @justinjackson.ca after a short run while the kids are away for a few hours.

Hearing about 1000 different things and they all are interested and fueling my motivation for the upcoming week.

Great Sunday so far!

Im a leftish let’s not talk about politics at work 😅

But I think the usual American let’s not talk about politics at work actually talks about lot about politics in general 🤣

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 6d

Wow, that looks good! Good luck!

Thanks, before your post, I knew a bit what git worktrees were but never really thought about it being usefull, (except having AI working on 2 things at the same time, which I never do).

I think you solved my git commit 'wip' and git stash/git pop issues 🤣
