I like how this thread has become a second place for people to pitch themselves to you

Umar Hansa was my go-to on devtools for years.

You can Cmd+F "Devtools" here and find some real gems umaar.com/dev-tips/.

It looks like he created a paid course moderndevtools.com too, which I may take now that I know about it! I learned a ton from him for free.

First time I thought about it but it's less than a week! So wild

I'm in absolute disbelief this messaging is resonating anywhere given how obviously terrible the job market is for new engineers

Haven’t tried today but I go through periods with Cursor where the tab autocomplete repeatedly just offers to delete whatever line I’m writing

It can be very finicky

Some good replies and articles in the thread. If you're interested in a deeper look, I'd highly recommend @samwho.dev's article, which has some great visualizations of how they work and how to design an effective one

A visual, interactive guide to what bloom filters are, when you would use them, and how they work.

I only know about them because I was asked about them once on a tech interview, bombed, and went to look it up after. Really cool to see it out in the wild (and to learn more about it from your post)
