Hello! 👋

I’m a lead software engineer and content creator who loves making practical tutorials for PHP, JavaScript, Docker, and more.

I have also proudly taken the top spot on HN with my hardware experiments, twice!

Someone wrote an article about my receipt printer, and over the last ~24 hours I've gotten another thousand or so messages.

They're all so positive and excited, I'm incredibly overwhelmed with joy 🥲

After living in Orlando for the last 5 years, we're moving back to South Florida in a couple of months!

PS: If you're in the area, let me know about any tech groups or meetups.

The next step better be “then throw them right in the trash”

I recorded an overview and retrospective on how (and why) I set up a receipt printer to receive anonymous messages.

Here’s how it went!

I invited strangers to message me through a receipt printer

Apparently the dissolvable stitches in my mouth are made out of PLA, the same stuff that 3D printer filament is made out of!

I built this to scratch my own itch of wanting to edit my horrible facecam videos faster, since I botch my lines in them constantly lol

Here's the source if you want to check it out:

I've released my first Go application!

It's a (very basic) terminal video editor that uses ffmpeg and whisper to let you selectively choose which lines from a video you want to keep.

You can also preview each line with a pop-up video player!

It's called tsplice:

You need to show him this bathroom I saw on my fyp the other day. It's two separate toilets and sinks separated by a shared tub!

The absolute strangest bathroom setup I’ve ever seen in a home! Who thought this was a good idea for two bathrooms to share one shower?! What’s the weirdest bathroom you’ve ever seen or how would you ...

Loved it! Hearing all of the score played from a live orchestra just felt so magical. Plus, the conductor was interactive and the vibe for the whole concert was really fun and enjoyable.

Went to the orchestra tonight 🐔🎶

There's a pretty nicely carved niche of "Software Engineering and Game Development" on Twitch that I feel YouTube doesn't have. Will probably end up doing both and seeing if one attracts more people than another!

What?! I'm just over 20 hours in and recently finished the Last Judge. I thought I was coming up on the mid game already, insane.

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · Sep 22

Are there any pros or cons to streaming just on Twitch?

Besides the obvious less potential audience, anyways

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Owning a candy store is high on my bucket list, so congrats on the anniversary!

How long were you all doing this before going to a brick and mortar shop?
