Productivity
The coding landscape has transformed dramatically in the past year. What started as simple autocomplete has evolved into something entirely different— vibe coding tools that understand intent, context, and can generate entire applications from natural language descriptions.
I’ve used several code augmentation/generation tools over the last year, and the evolution has been remarkable. Let me walk you through the landscape as it stands today, broken down into two distinct categories that serve very different needs.
Ever wish you could turn timeless wisdom into a daily habit? Today, I transformed Seth Godin’s “Notes to myself”—a list of 65 thought-provoking insights—into actionable daily journal prompts, delivered straight to my calendar.
Why This?
Seth’s 65 insights cover topics like creativity, leadership, integrity, and personal growth. I wanted a seamless, low-friction way to reflect on one each day—a mini-coaching moment, perfectly timed.
What I Did
- Rephrased the 65 notes as daily prompts.
- Created an .ics (iCalendar) file with 65 all-day events, one per day, each summarizing a prompt.
- Each event is marked as “free” (doesn’t block time) and triggers a pop-up reminder at 8:30am—perfect for journaling first thing in the morning.
- Importable into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app supporting the .ics format.
How You Can Use It
- Download the .ics file.
- Import it into your calendar app (Apple/Google/Outlook, etc).
- Each morning for 65 days, you’ll receive a prompt at 8:30am.
Use it to journal, reflect, or simply carry the question with you through the day.
Each prompt is a gentle nudge toward greater clarity, growth, and action.
