As a backend Dev with a real hate for CSS, I managed to make this using Tailwind CSS. It's just a few lines, but this is a huge victory for me 😁

If you want to make a ton of money right now, go find a local transporting business and give them a call. I bet you they all get emails with Excel sheets and PDF's and manually type things over into their software. Automating it has never been easier.

@arvidkahl In MySQL, SELECT(*), SELECT(1), or SELECT(id) may not efficiently use indexes if it predicts a large table scan, even with an indexed primary key. In your example, you force an index, thus speeding it up 😅

I am not in the mood to code at the moment. No idea why. Maybe it'll come later tonight, if not, all good. We're on schedule and it's okay to do nothing tonight. I'll be playing some Hearthstone, do you guys play any games or is it code only?

@AndreeaFarcas98 I was 9, I'm 35 now. It doesn't say anything, I know people that are younger that are better coders than me. I've been solely focused on web development all my career, so that's also how far my knowledge goes when it comes to coding.

SocialTowel is now growing on autopilot. The website now receives a web hook call when a relevant tweet about a profile banner of someone planning their holiday is found. In the background a towel is generated for this person (and a page). Next step; post it 🚀🚀🚀
