While checking Electron Apps to see if they cause System-Wide Lag on Tahoe, I've updated Obsidian to the latest version and saw in the release notes that v1.9 introduced Bases as a new core-plugin.
When I have some time, I need to give this a proper test. IF this is working as expected, maybe I can migrate away from Notion to Obsidian. It would be interesting to see if this is working on the data I've collected over the last 6 years. And perhaps I can also add then all the data I have collected in txt files in the 10-15 years before I used Notion. 😅
Finally, we arrived at home after our trip back from our vacation. What should have been a 5-hour trip resulted in 13 hours. We started at 6 in the morning and opened the door to our home at around 7 in the evening. Luckily the kids were supportive, and we were able to stay sane.
Props to the Berlin Airport for causing so much trouble. 🫠
I’ve found this quote somewhere, sadly I don’t remember where. A small research about this, suggests only a similar quote from Winston’s Churchill: “Perfection is the enemy of progress”. If someone knows, where this is coming from, please let me know.
I wanted to write about this topic for a while now, so this post title was written with an empty body and waiting to be completed.
It should have happened much earlier, but I had 2 people I still have followed and were not migrated to other networks. I was mostly interested in their doings and not their views. Sadly, they talked more about their views and not their doings.
I still think too much about stuff, instead of just doing something.
For example writing posts. I have a lot of ideas but something was holding me back. I’ve already completed the #100DaysToOffload one time. And I thought I’ve found a good
Flow on writing posts. But there is always room for improvement.
I was silent for a long time now. The same pattern I had last year. I would blame the summer for this, but I think there are multiple factors here. I had plenty of projects going on in the past half year, privately and professionally. And I still have a lot on my plate. But I also want to complete the #100DaysToOffload challenge again.
Since March, I have used Cursor on and off for plenty of tasks. For example, I did a complete Redux to Redux-Toolkit migration for one project, in which I learned a lot. Mostly, for which tasks I should use Cursor and which not. If you start with Cursor, you should use it to implement a bigger feature, to learn all the quirks. It will take time, and I value the time using it for the Redux→RTK migration. And now, I typically use Cursor for smaller tasks. Or just break down the bigger ones and enhance them so they are suited for Cursor.
For a while, I struggled with the right model. The auto mode worked in some way, but I was not perfect. So I tried to explore the models directly and wanted to learn, which I can use for which task. But since Claude released Sonnet 4, I exclusively use this model for everything. It is astonishing how well Sonnet 4 works.
Recently, I have found a good workflow. I collect some Tasks and execute them one by one. And while Cursor/Sonnet 4 is thinking and working, I do some chores in the House. Which is a Win-win for all of us here. 😅
I trust Sonnet 4 so much, that I'm thinking of trying out Claude Code. Which, in theory, fits better into my terminal workflow. Cursor is a fork of VSCode which is too much UI distraction for me. But I appreciate the diff tool, which works good for me. And I never found a good one for the terminal.
