How programming languages do marketing/engagement: a quick study. I researched the landscape last week and put this table together. Although attributes like memberships, donations, or newsletters may have been available, doesn't mean they were prominent or any good

I'm creating/generating a documentation site on TanStack Router so I can better understand its mechanics for myself (bc the official docs are good but the design is busy with little contrast). In the generation process, it's funny and annoying how verbose and repetitive the content can get.

I'm upgrading my shared Hetzner server to a larger instance using a snapshot. It was running Coolify for managing projects/services with docker. It's all relatively new to me, but it's nice having direct control.

I dreamed that a team and I launched a difficult tech project for a large co., then the CTO said "you're the web guy right? We'll need this now for Spring Boot". In calm terror I asked "Can I use Kotlin instead of Java?". I got a 'no', and so I quit

I'm really digging TanStack Start and its full frontend suite. I love Phoenix and all, but the ease of importing practical shadcn ui components is fab.

anyone else notice the multiple choice questions in claude code? I saw it in vscode today and thought it was a reasonable way to efficiently get feedback

So I'm learning some iOS and dang, Xcode is quite a beast (as expected compared to a simple editor). It kind of makes me feel this is where maybe Figma should be going if one actually wanted to build instead of just design prototypes

If you're a dev looking to host some videos for an app, consider Mux. Their free tier allows 10 videos with no filesize limit, and the customization options are great.

Work has me diving deep into TanStack Start, Zitadel with Better Auth, and API calls to a Go data service. Although there's no elixir, it's refreshing to be using something different and using latest features.

It's neat to see them encourage developers to add ARIA tags to pages though, an "agent" can be thought of as effectively another form of assistive technology

The newish claude code behavior of creating multiple docs files seems reasonable, but the growing problem is stale, outdated content with tmi

in ”age of ai”, it’s disturbing to read about how there wasn’t nearly enough data to train gpt-3, so tons of low quality, illegal, and psychologically harmful content was used and the model later rlh-tuned using cheap, desperate foreign workers, just like FB did earlier for content moderation

Wow, I'm impressed with @zitadel.com as a comprehensive self-hosted auth service. I'm setting it up with tanstack and better-auth, but I reckon it could be used with Phoenix via an auth lib over oidc

It feels like now “AI Engineer” conf has become “PR Ted Talk” meets 2021 Nextjs conf.
