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 🥁
Started a new experiment. Lets see if Laravel people need Proposal Software 😊

I'm feeling like the small guy that keeps dodging all the punches from the big guys. Dodged the AWS and Cloudflare outages!

I'm starting to create many Claude Code commands recently. One of those things of, why didn't I do this before?

I just sold my old monitor with @benediktdeicke.com 's UserList sticker on it.

"Sorry I forgot to take that sticker off"

"Don't worry, I like it"

I had a small discussion a while ago where they said that unit tests should never hit the database.

I honestly don't know why it is such a big deal? It is so much easier to write. Unit tests are also the fastest test to run. 545 tests under a second ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also for the Ruby people in Madrid. That mountain chain in the back is called La Pedriza and it is absolutely beautiful. I’m thinking of organising a one day retreat with Ruby people. Hiking plus Ruby talk.

Please let me know if you’re interested!
Last 6 months I’ve been working so much that I forgot that I live in such a beautiful place.

Two weeks ago I started to work less and started to go back to running twice a week.

For the Madrileños here. A friend of mine is going to give a concert with his new band the 4th of December in Madrid.

I'm going!

Ticket available here: linktr.ee/elerror

And their newly released song is on there as well.

Powertrio de punkrock en español con matices de hardcore y pop vomitado. Eclécticos, como buenas hijas del siglo pasado no nos gusta las etiquetas, ni las bios.

Creating a Zapier integration is... time consuming... 🤪

I recently changed computers and I must say, personal dotfiles, homebrew, and 1Password are a lifesaver!

I could have done it with Time Machine, but I always like to start from scratch for some reason.

15 years ago I made an with a friend that we never launched (even though it was sort of finished). I liked skateboarding but didn't know anybody in Madrid. So we made crowdboarding.com (right now for sale, not by me).

It was a two-sided market place for skateboarders who wanted to meet people.

Yesterday I was struggling with some code all day. Today I walked the dog for one hour only thinking about this problem and within 10 minutes, I got it working!

The lesson? Get a dog if you want to get things done!

What have you done @lucianghinda.com ???? 😱

Somebody has a decent webcam to recommend for video calls and screencast. Doesn't need to be pro, just slightly better than the standard on a MBP.

M4 Max compare to M1 Pro

Test suite runs more than 4 times faster! 😱
About to buy a Mac Studio M4 Max, 64GB RAM 😱

For some unknown reason I prefer a desktop instead of a laptop.

Anybody here regretted buying a Mac Studio?

I'm going to do something I never done before, using you guys as an accountability partner 😅

My SaaS went down the last year and especially this month. I'm going to get it back up again and share here what I'm doing.

I don't like sharing revenue publicly, but I'm going to take current rev as base

Snow Leopard was the best OS ever made. Reason: no new feature, only performance/memory improvements and bug fixes.

Also and OS name you could remember. I cant name you the last 5 versions, even if you point a gun to my head 🤣

So sad, one day after I saw his last video, GM Daniel Naroditsky passed away.

I'm not good at chess but really enjoyed his videos, he made sense of this complex game. It was fascinating hearing him, trully was one of the best teachers out there.

29 years old :(

Seems legit, must be an old invoice because Nathan left 6 years ago. 😅

Never heard this one before, I choose Nusii over a competitor because I like your vibe better 😎
