Pinned

Self-taught senior SWE @ Spotify for ~10 years. I share practical software engineering for beginner/intermediate devs: systems, habits, careers, and “what I wish I knew earlier.” GitHub 👇 github.com/simeg


Went from hearing about AI to using AI every day for work and personal things in 6 months 🤯 What's your favorite AI tool? I'm leaning towards Claude.

Chrome only keeps 90 days of history. That’s a joke. I got tired of losing old tabs, so I built Chrome History Exporter — it automatically pulls your cross-device Chrome history and makes it searchable locally with Alfred. Check it out 👇 github.com/simeg/chrome-h…

Hey friends—this is a non-tech post. Been away from X a few years battling depression. I finally beat it. My doctors agree 🙌 Sooo grateful for my partner and friends. Never lost my interest for tech so hoping to be more active here. Looking forward to connecting to you all! ❤️
