[applying for a role as JS developer] so we have a take home test for you. No it's not JavaScript. It's php

ridiculously easy, innit.

UPDATE: Richard is a billion times better. He’s totally back to himself again. He’s been cleared to drive and is cleared to go back to work on Monday. He has just declared independence by going out ON HIS OWN TO THE SUPERMARKET. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I’m really enjoying the vibe here on BlueSky! It feels like a true community again 🤩 — I’ve missed this over the past few years with Twitter.

👋 hey!

Bsky intro time: I’m a mostly-self-taught dev. For years, I worked as a senior engineer in the startup world. Now, I’m building my own startup applying LLMs to a “boring” space broken by compliance and organizational knowledge loss. I love food, shitposting, and tattoos.

What's really scary is Cybersecurity Awareness Month ends today and I feel like a lot of you only became partially Aware Of Cybersecurity.

I read that as Weird AL and I was like "don't you drag my king into this"

This is one of those things where rather than memorize a bunch of rules, I think it’s much easier to use our intuition. We should ask ourselves this question: > If this image failed to load, what would I NEED to know in order to understand this content / engage with this application?

It's really nice to see new faces on this app. Lots of people to hang out with and converse with. It feels fresh! 🦋👋🏻

Hey, I’m Sam 👋 I create visual and interactive guides to programming concepts. Here’s some of my work: - samwho.dev/load-balancing - https://samwho.dev/memory-allocation - encore.dev/blog/queueing I also gave a talk about my work that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/live/Y3t4a8WJsHc?si=61SUW6EbtUA8Mqjm.

Yo where are the metal fans on bsky and can you all be my friends, pls share.

Firm belief that one of the highest ROI hills to die on is insisting it be as easy as possible to run your product locally. If you succeed in keeping it to a build command followed by a run command and nothing else, you’ll be delivering 4-5 figures of value per engineer per year.

UX fact #18: All enterprise software competes with Excel. All productivity software competes with emailing things to yourself.

For every like I will post 1 UX fact (I'm not doing a meme image for this, UX fact #0 is that content is more important than visuals)

Hahahaha, as a designer who codes, you lost me with this one. I’m not in a place to say how all designers should work, but for me and my design team, being close to the code is vital. Code is the raw material of the things product designers are designing. An architect should know about concrete.

Wow, I guess tech twitter has migrated in my absence. Hi everyone!

I'm determined to write 1600 words every day in November. Most years I try and fall off after a week or so, but I REALLY want to prove to myself that I can do it. I've had a story burning in my brain for about 4 years now and just want to get it down on paper and organized into something real!

I’m still waiting for the Blue Sky iOS app to remember the last post I read so I can scroll up for new content. Always showing the most recent post means I have to scroll down and I have no idea how many new posts there are. I actually submitted this feedback formally a while ago. Alas.

Convinced my fellow front-end colleague in the new project we're setting up, that we can have a headless UI library, and an accessible one at that. Whoopeeeeee, FINALLY I am spending work hours writing CSS!!! ✨🤩🎉 Have chosen to use Adobe React Aria Components for the gnarlier UI challenges. Happy!

Well Well Well If it isn’t ski season 🫶

hi, here is a picture of my dog:

The real social divide between Gen z and millennials is that Gen z is always wearing a cute fit to the concert and millennials are wearing the rattiest black t-shirt and jeans they can find

GENIE: So, and I really never do this, but I just want to clarify: you want to use your three wishes to make sure you never have to wash a colander, cheese grater, or a whisk for the rest of your life. ME: That’s correct.

I guess I'm saying, make the thing because you want to make the thing, and be prepared for a total non-response. Then pick yourself up and move onto the next project. Maybe that will be the one that sets the world alight.
