I’m at my first #rubyconf and the vibes are so great.

Watch out for folks saying “let’s just a/b test this” for micro-decisions: it's often a cop-out. Chances are, your team is bad at making great decisions, quickly. In a world where capital isn't free, each bet has a cost, and product teams need to understand it 🧵

👻 Hidden costs: 1. Comms overhead for all the above to happen 2. Seasoned experts feeling de-valued 3. Docs & support confusion 4. Increased risk of multi-experiment data cross-contamination 5. Zombie experiment pile-up The two biggest ones are 6 & 7.

It is scientifically proven that working out before work dramatically increases your productivity, improves your mood, and increases the chances of reminding everyone else about it at least five times before lunch.

I know all I'm doing here is outing myself as someone who also needs this, but I'd love to have someone try to convince me that the party at fault in this scenario is the patient, not the doctor's office for creating the situation to begin with

Hmm, there is a zstd module for php that should be able to support the HTTP compression dictionaries with a tiny tweak (just need to add the 40-byte stream header). Fingers crossed, filed an issue: https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-zstd/issues/73

It’s so freeing to be able to say substack freely here and not have to say s*bst*ck or some such thing. Substack substack substack substack substack substack https://media.tenor.com/aHyTAW8yweQAAAAC/developers-ballmer.gif?hh=180&ww=180

Loving this neue font from Pangram Pangram. Neue Corp is a variable font with geometric and grotesque elements, ranging from Condensed Thin to Extended Black. That Wide Thin weight tugs at my type heart strings 😍 🔗 https://pangrampangram.com/products/neue-corp

Getting back to YouTube over the next few weeks 😅 Need more content for aspiring designers.

I created a starter pack with designers and developers who work on component libraries and share their work publicly, so you can get inspiration or learn from them. I certainly missed many people, so if you'd like to be included, please comment below. I'll add more people over time. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

There are two NextJS 15's. There is the released one, where the default aggressive caching disabled. And there is the canary version where you can enable dynamicIO to have essentially an entirely different development system. "The app is NextJS 15." "Which NextJS 15?"

I had no idea such a site existed, and I love this so much

Alrighty then, who’s here?

Happy 25th Birthday to Neopets! 🎉 Their HTML guide was my first step into learning web development and sparked my passion for #CreativeCoding.

I've been working on some generative art to give out in Marfa

Une chance que quelqu'un va leur en parler avant que leur premiere documentation soit en studio. Une partie de la collaboration interne qui est vitale! https://media.tenor.com/2utsFw5wZnUAAAAC/in-shock.gif?hh=415&ww=498

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉

So ... are we doing this now? Because I could use some stability.

Rejoice! It finally happened! I sang “In the Shadows” after my talk at @halfstackconf.bsky.social, and I forgot how much better I sound in my head. Thank you all for putting up with me! What a joy it was to bump into @tonyedwardspz.bsky.social, who I’ve been mentioning in my slides!
