I rebuilt my portfolio from scratch.
A few weeks ago, someone's portfolio inspired me. I loved it so much I rebuilt something similar. I didn't copy the code. I worked on it for 3-4 weeks. But the person whose site inspired it wasn't comfortable with it, which makes sense. I gave him full credit for the design. Even though I could have avoided it. My version was better, more optimized for performance and mobile. He still wasn't comfortable. The design was still his. So I removed it. No drama, no arguing. And I didn't really want to build a new one. While I'm building @Ryffar I'm also working on 2 client projects. Shifting focus between projects gives me a headache. But my portfolio is the first thing I share with clients. It's how I show my actual work. I don't have a degree or a resume to lean on. So I had to build it. I built it in parallel, thanks to AI. I won't say the new site is 100% original. Nothing on the web is. But I built it from scratch. Also... I added background music and ambient lyrics to it lol. Have you ever seen music on a portfolio site before? 😂 Link : https://www.iamzak.xyz
I/will never buy an app during onboarding
I've seen a lot of apps recently (especially vibe coded ones) putting paywalls in the onboarding flow that you can't even skip. Why should I buy before even trying the app? Forget trying it, I can't even see the fucking dashboard.
Gemini 3.8 Flash is a beast!
I've been using Gemini 3.8 Flash in Antigravity, and honestly it's impressed me more than anything before it. Before this model, I was relying on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. I wasn't even touching Gemini models because, let's be honest, they were trash (pre-3.7 Flash). Now I'm using 3.8 Flash for almost every task. It's the best model I've used. Usage never runs out (I'm on the paid Pro plan), and the speed is unbelievable. But if you're the type who expects to get the job done by throwing a 1-2 line prompt at it, this isn't for you. I've seen a lot of people be making fun of 3.8 Flash, and I genuinely don't understand why.
