Writing a new cover letter for every job application gets tedious, especially when you're repeating the same points about your skills and experience. AI tools may seem like an easy way out, but you can end up with a letter that doesn't sound like you. Instead, I turn to an underappreciated old-school tool: mail merge.

Nakodo finds creators on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok for a brand, scores each one and emails the good fits. The part of the app this post is about is the boring part: the table of what it has found so far, which the owner of the campaign reads, sorts, filters and ticks boxes in while the pipeline behind it is still adding rows.The page is a server component. A small client component polls an endpoint for a fingerprint of the campaign's data and calls router.refresh() when it changes:export fun
I did an audit I would recommend to anybody with a project older than a few months: list every process.env read in the app, list every variable the example file documents, and look at the two sets that do not overlap. The countsIn app, components, lib, utils, hooks and the proxy, there are 30 reads of process.env, across 19 files, naming 16 distinct variables. The config files at the repo root add two more names, CI and NEXT_RUNTIME, which the platform sets rather than me..env.example docum
Our app has 18 <form> tags across 16 files, every one of them posting to a server action. I went looking for how each of them tells you it is working, and found five different answers, one of which is "it does not". The five patternsOne: a shared component wrapping useFormStatus. It exists, it is good, and it is imported by two files:export function FormSubmitButton({ icon, children, className, ...props }) { const { pending } = useFormStatus() return ( <Button type="submit" di
Develop your expertise in 10 areas to maximize your screenwriting potential.During the 18+ years I’ve run this blog, I have been privileged to conduct one-on-one interviews with nearly two hundred screenwriters including dozens with Black List and Nicholl Fellowship winning writers. Along the way, it’s been fascinating to learn the variety of approaches to the craft, yet at the same time how certain universal themes recur.I was struck by five personality traits and five skill sets
Fast internet is pretty much a basic necessity these days, and if you don't have it, it'll cause you grief every single day. Sometimes, the fix is getting a better plan, but you should always do the troubleshooting work first to make sure that's really what you need.
A decent toolbox for your garage or shop certainly won't come cheap, but that doesn't mean you have to spend thousands on one, either. At first, a little tool bag or some bins will suffice, but as you start to stock up on power tools, batteries, wrenches, screwdriver sets, sockets, bits, and more, you'll eventually want something bigger. Here are some affordable cho
One of the greatest selling points of Google's new Android-powered, AI-focused Googlebook laptops is the tight integration with your Android smartphone. There are plenty of new ways to connect your laptop and smartphone, but the tried-and-true feature for sharing images, documents, and other files still reigns supreme. Here's what you need to know about using Quick
The MacBook Neo made a huge splash earlier this year, giving people the premium quality of a classic MacBook for just $599 (or $699 at the time of writing, thanks, RAM shortage). It filled a gap in the market for people who could benefit from the form factor of a laptop but didn't need the extra computing power, and it threw in some cool color options as an extra.

Subscription software keeps getting more expensive, and most of us end up paying for a massive suite of features we rarely touch. The good news is that for almost every major paid desktop app, there is usually an open-source counterpart that costs nothing and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
When you're clearing out unwanted apps from your Windows PC, uninstalling one or two is easy enough. But if you have a dozen programs you no longer use, removing them one at a time can take a while, since Windows 11's Settings app doesn't let you select multiple apps and uninstall them together.

Smartwatches are, well, smart, but that doesn't mean other watches are dumb. For example, mechanical watches don't require batteries at all — they operate purely through a tightly wound spring. You can give your Galaxy Watch the same vibe in a few simple steps.

A smart home means different things to different people. Many of us want a home that takes care of itself quietly in the background, while others look at the concept as one that leverages technology to feel more like a helping hand.
I moved my homelab into a colocation rack (proper DC deployment with redundant power) a while ago. Things have been running smoothly, and a few favorable 2nd hand deals later I now have 128 cores (Epyc Zen 2), roughly 1TB of RAM and several dozen TBs flash and spinning storage running idle.It's all on spare enterprise-grade hardware (15th generation Dell PowerEdge, redundant SAS SSD/HDD arrays), interconnected with 25G.
