It’s an extension in vs code that adds icons to files and folders to indicate their type.
Generally speaking it just makes the folder structure much more readable.
When you discover vscode-icons is a thing

Yay, it’s working!
Well, I had it working ok. Managed to push my stuff up but not without issues. Then yesterday my mac crashed and today I’m missing file and the basic GitHub commands don’t work returning cryptic errors. Chatgpt tells me to check package.json and I did and everything seems fine there. Not sure where to go from there.
None atm.
Don’t laugh…
Just trying to deploy my local environment to GitHub pages 😂
I like design because I’m in total control over it and can make things work.
Dev work: here’s an error. Oh you wanna do this basic thing? Error!
Another one…
Fu! Here’s and error 😂
Eeeeeerm not so fast ahole! Error!
Fml
How do I skip right to that 😆
I try but I have limits too. When even the basic command to install a thing doesn’t work, gets super frustrating
I’m 99% certain I’m not cut out for development. Every time I try to follow instructions to do one thing, I get error upon error upon error. The code hates me.

It was good!!
My new favorite use of chatgpt: write in plain text and ask it to format in markdown. Does a surprisingly good job!
The problem with Threads is that it didn’t introduce anything new. It’s just another platform that dilutes the existing social media user base without adding any value.
Once the novelty of NEW wears off, people leave.
Threads combined the concepts of TikTok with Twitter, but did not think through why it may not be a great idea. TikTok is for mindless consumption and Twitter was for learning and discussing ideas. Combined with a userbase made up entirely of visual users (instagram), it perfectly predicts low reply engagement.
People are scrolling their feeds to see images and videos but the platform doesn’t do as good of a job as Instagram or TikTok on that front. And on the opposite spectrum, if you are looking for conversations they simply won’t be there. So you’ve got two sides to this thing and neither is performing as good as competitors. Combine all of that with the natural drop off rates for any new product (old habits die hard) and you lose more than 50% of your users.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think making Threads Insta-signup-only on launch may have been a giant mistake on Meta’s part.
Wow, alright have fun haha!
