The next Dev CheatSheets Weekly comes out tomorrow!

If you’re a software developer, technologist or just someone who wants to watch a community of software developers grow from 0, I run a weekly newsletter called Dev CheatSheets Weekly. It is part devlog for my software developer personal knowledge management tool and social media platform, part resource for developers to learn more about software development using illustrative code snippets delivered to their inbox every week.

You can find out more about Dev CheatSheets and sign up for the Weekly at the link below!

Dear Hackers,

If you'd like to make some cash, target scam call centers in India that victimize the poor, the elderly and the unread. They have the money to pay you, most infosec companies won't want to lift a finger to protect them and the feds won't get called.

Don't target libraries, target call centers.

I'm building out a social media site and personal knowledge management application for developers.

You'll be able to share code snippets, collaborate with others on code snippets, share resources, and link them together to help you grow as a developer.

It's still very much in its infancy, but I'm making good, daily progress!

DevCheatSheets pre-launch is live! You can sign up for the free newsletter to get updates on development.

Over the years, I've found thousands of awesome blogs, StackOverflow answers, YouTube videos and, most recently, ChatGPT prompts that have helped me a ton in my software development work.

The problem is, I lose them.

I've talked to a ton of developers, and they all have various ways of partially solving this problem:
- Notion documents with messy link dumps
- 1,000,000 tabs open constantly
- A bookmark folder that takes up half of your disk space

DevCheatSheets is going to solve this by serving as a repository of useful developer resources that you can share with others. You will be able to create code snippets to remember for future projects, GPT prompts that gave you great output and more. You will also be able to discover new resources from other developers that are specific to your focus and chosen languages.

DevCheatSheets is currently in development, but you can visit the site to sign up for a free newsletter to get updates on its development!

Owning an old home can be incredibly expensive, but it can be far less expensive if you learn how to do things yourself whenever possible. The $60-$100+ plumber calls start to add up, and there's really no point in doing that for a lot of the tasks you can learn to do yourself.

In the last year, I've learned how to:
- fix a toilet valve
- take apart and fix a garbage disposal
- replace a leaking outdoor spigot
- fix large sections of fencing
- change my own oil (oil changes have gotten so cheap that there's not too much point in doing it yourself tbh)
- snake a washer drain
- weather strip a doorway
- hang a door (try your best not to do this yourself, it absolutely sucks, especially on an old home with non-standard dimensions...)

These are all super simple things to learn, and I'm not bragging as much as I am stating that I was in the position a couple years ago where I didn't know any of this, and was tempted to call a handyman/plumber every time something went wrong. I've probably saved north of $1k over the last year or two just learning some of this stuff on YouTube.

(that said: I do not mess with anything electrical, nor do I mess with anything that involves breaking foundation, going into the ground, etc.)

It's ironic that someone from AH, which funds startups that do functionally 0 real work all the time, is saying this, but they're not wrong.
