I am … enjoying and slightly disturbed by this. Impressive. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I got a remarkable paper pro and I like it a lot

Yep, the paper is now a remarkable. Same principles apply, just less pens running out of ink etc.

tfw when you want to write a little bit of code as a treat but you have a call in 10mins and know you'll forget and have to send an apology for standing them up

I’ve had a Boox palma for that sort of thing as a “night phone”. It’s really good! I needed exactly what you say about the writing though. I take so many notes in a day and that really rags through notebooks. I’ve tried all sorts of digital stuff but this thing is easily the best for writing.

Some thoughts on creativity and putting yourself out there, inspired by the @btconf.bsky.social conference from last week. https://marisamorby.com/putting-yourself-out-there/

Hear me out: A conference focused on how our crafts, hobbies, and interests inform how we practice the craft of software engineering.

my message to the world make stupid websites any kind

I think one my toxic traits is I’m just not wired to “crush it” every day. Maybe more like every third day. I kicked ass yesterday. Struggling to start on real work today. Maybe I’ll find focus again by Friday.

But I bet you crushed it so fucking hard. That’s an adhd super power. I’ll have 2-3 good days a week and get more done those days than some people get done in a full week.

spotify showing “sponsored album recommendations” at the center of the home screen on every open despite me being a paying customer is such an L for the product. such a silly way to chip away at trust, and for what

Ok who is building the browser extension for Safari that lights up a 🦋 icon if the website I’m visiting has an _aproto DNS text record? When it lights up, I can click the icon and follow the account.

yeah we’ve also fixed some issues with “show less” not working, still plenty to keep fixing though

Never forget the time I had a blog post about self-hosting my personal websites on a Raspberry Pi cluster hit the front page of Hacker News, and the comments were like, "what about high availability/efficiency/etc!!!!!!!" Like guys, I'm hosting getshreked.com; this isn't that serious. https://getshreked.com

no fucking way it was this easy [contains quote post or other embedded content]

my akg553 headphones have thousands of hours on them and the cable recently failed so like any sane person I researched replacements and decided to build my own from high strand count 24awg wire. I'm pleased even though these headphones are ugly af 😁

Collapsing would be the big thing for me. And flattening replies to yourself

im getting new follower notifications every few minutes, i guess i should start posting again!

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.

enjoy this fluffy sparkly #pixelart sky 💜✨
