This is probably the biggest update to blueview.app since launch 🥳.

There are now 2 new sections for those who love to crunch stats. 🤓

New post analytics, including a new posts streak, searchable posts table and activity graphs 📈

I hope these pics attach ok 😅

Have any of my followers ever switched from a Samsung galaxy phone to a pixel?

I've got the itch to switch phones, but I'm not sure if pixels are decent?

My main concern is with the processor. I don't do any gaming, just standard use.

I've had Samsung galaxy phones since the s3.

Pre commit hooks are the devil and you can't convince me otherwise. 😅

I've been practicing some leetcode recently.

I've found that I can't answer questions which I successfully did back in 2020.

Does that mean I've got worse as a programmer over the past 5 years? 😂

I went on a bike ride today with a mate and got a puncture.

Thanks goodness he's very switched on and had a replacement inner tube.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Time to nerd up a bit and start learning more about bike maintenance / cycling. 🚵

What is everyone using for AI coding tools these days?

Copilot? Cursor? Claude code?

I'm currently using cursor for personal projects and copilot at work.

Any using Claude Code? Is it worth it? How much is it for normal usage?
