Current me predictive goals sound naïve/boring to her. If I do things well on a… https://t.co/evJyPDPHn8 — Maggie Appleton (@Mappletons) Apr 8, 2024

Debating learning how to database. But honestly it just seems like a huge faff. Can I just wait until you all abstract it away with your severless cloud function durable object whatevers?

@karrisaarinen Caring can really make a big difference. More people (in tech) would care if they truly saw what impact it can have. That isn’t to say care always leads to impact - but ambivalence is often costlier in the long run. — Waqas Sheikh (@vixsheikh) Apr 1, 2024

@thegrugq I’m not blaming maintainers for being burned out. I’m saying a system that doesn’t support maintainers is a problem. More than one thing can be true at the same time and I don’t think we’re making the same point — Ian Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater) Mar 31, 2024

Have been thinking about creating some sort of mini VST plugin for Figma to create your own UI sounds/riffs, and link them to your prototype. Not sure if it would even work tho 🤔 — Fons Mans (@FonsMans) Mar 31, 2024
