I built a thing, try it out!

Lots to do still, but I’m proud of how far it’s come.

Not that I’ve ever interviewed for a role at OpenAI, but in my recent experience job hunting, a lot of companies have exactly same issues.
I had a chat with @nerdy.dev about his somewhat recent job hunt, where he talked a lot about the misalignment between the technical interviews and the roles they were looking to fill... and how even if they tried to fix the interviews, it didn't seem to help 😅

Maybe I am becoming a dinosaur but I don’t want a web browser to browse for me.

Is there any country in the world where citizens believe their government is doing a good job?

Helium is pretty much everything I've been looking for in a Chromium-based browser: minimal, user-first, private, and performant. 👌

Helium Browser
The web browser made for people, with love. Best privacy by default, unbiased ad-blocking, no bloat and no noise. Fully open source.

As expected, Liquid Glass is shit.

That is all.

It might be a bit of a controversial opinion but I like the Dia browser for it's design. It's actually quite a clean interface.

If I could disable AI chat features, it would be great.

I will admit it. #React won. Even more so now, reinforced by tools like Lovable and LLMs having more React resources to learn from.

I still hold firm that #Vue and #Nuxt are superior in terms of how refined their ecosystems are. It has always been a pleasure to build with such ease.

"See attached document" you confidently declare, before launching your attachment-free email into the digital void. 😅

Employed to code good not name things good
Developers are just jealous that LLMs can actually come up with good names for things
