Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

there should be a thing that reads your package.json and charges you $5/month per dependency - you don’t /have/ to! you could set the price to $1 per employee! - and then holds the funds and sends it to the people who made the code you use to do business

how is not doing this more sustainable

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter.

– Physics-based color repulsion
– Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias
– Adaptive spacing to hit target count
– OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform)

Early Access: please break it!

And honestly, the milk hasn’t tasted the same since they migrated off of MooTools at 2.0.
Sometimes I feel like quitting web development and joining my brother-in-law on the ranch.

At least cows don't suddenly upgrade to version 5.0 and break the entire farm because the geese aren't on 3.2.4 yet.

They say products need to be launched again, and again, and again.

I built Broadcast back in October 2024 (hand coded).

It's an email marketing platform, and it's matured quite a bit.

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse.

This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares.

I just realized the Winter Olympics are happening February 6th to 22nd, 2 months from now.

Looks like Peacock is the US streaming app and the full no ads package is $17 for a month. Really not bad when you compare it to any other sports streaming cost.

This fall, we shipped a Settings UI. Seems simple, right?

Under the hood: refactored our entire settings architecture, taught GPUI new tricks, and accidentally broke auto-update along the way.

Here's the story of how we rebuilt settings in Zed: zed.dev/blog/setting...

Today is the 20th anniversary of the time in college when my friend Jeff gave me some free shared web hosting, and I decided to build a music blog with something called "WordPress."

It would have been on version 1.5 I believe, since this was a few weeks before WordPress 2.0 was released.

Fascinating - Seattle waterfront Aquarium building is wood-clad and they engineered it to “go gray” like you’d expect from a cedar fence.

Wasn't happy with the 'logo' on my personal site so generated a signature version that I like the look of.

Not giving away my actual handwriting seems like a nice use case for AI 🤔

I'd buy a sub-$1,000 Apple Vision Pro but I probably wouldn't buy a Meta Quest at any price. Just cannot fathom trusting Meta with my fingerprints or a retina scan.

The device model seems useful for remote office work type of setting. But not wearing it around the house w/ your family next to you.
