Loved this #leetheat episode! The musicality, the suspense, the Ketchup method! @georgerodier.com and @notwoods.bsky.social were fantastic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXU2...

The M4 iPad Pro is so good I can edit a 6K short film with no proxies or lag. It blows away my 5 year old desktop PC

My DIY project the last couple weeks has been building a giant 4’x6’ frame for a wood world map.

I got hardboard wood sheets and moulding and cut, painted, and mounted all by hand :)

I don’t know how to teach devs to google things anymore. Most of the results are for SEO-optimized walls of text instead of solutions.

You can point folks to official documentation, but that doesn’t help when the source of the problem is unclear. Maybe only use Stack Overflow?

Today is my last day working at Microsoft. I got to work on lots of web performance and mentorship here over 3+ years!

Off to new things in New York starting next month.

I’m very excited that `createSubscriber` was added to @svelte.dev, it covers the one use case that was keeping me on stores instead of runes. 🥳

Now it’s much easier to convert an observable into a rune!

I’m looking for a good mobile photo/video/code editing machine and currently looking at the iPad Pro, Surface Pro 11, and MacBook Air. Anyone have opinions on these?

- Run Affinity suite, Davinci Resolve, VSCode
- Want easy plane use
- Doesn’t have to work offline (but nice)
