Fun look at making of "infinite monkeys" experiment (I 🧡 the web btw). If you're into #webdev or #javascript it might be worth a look, not a long read. https://www.lukeschaefer.dev/posts/making-of-monkeys/ I love how the (bad) state management library was called StateFarm. Also reminded that https://lit.dev/ exists. #HTML

Micro Center has kinda of taken the place of this for me today but it's not the same. RadioShack (however terrible it got starting in the 90s) will always hold a special place in my heart. https://marylandmatters.org/2025/04/14/end-of-an-era-the-last-radioshack-in-maryland-is-closing-its-doors/

"Writing Cursor Rules with a Cursor Rule" https://www.adithyan.io/blog/writing-cursor-rules-with-a-cursor-rule Writing rules for Cursor has greatly added to it's effectiveness in my development with it.

Reading: "But what if I really want a faster horse?" https://rakhim.exotext.com/but-what-if-i-really-want-a-faster-horse It's certainly an interesting counter-point to discussions I've seen. Worth a read if you're a product owner, manager, even developer. #netflix #substack #spotify

"Your Startup Doesn’t Need to Be a Unicorn" Applies also to small companies and solo devs, to scale. I've seen many times a "middle road" while your mission includes a great user experience can work.

My hobby these days seems to be collecting blog posts on developer experiences with coding and #AI. From the "it's God" (rolling my eyes) to "it's trash" (bias exploded). Most of them land in some range in the middle. Adding this to my read list:https://manuel.kiessling.net/2025/03/31/how-seasoned-developers-can-achieve-great-results-with-ai-coding-agents/ #CursorAI #webdev

This is close to my take on #AI #webdev #programming as I've seen. https://kyrylo.org/software/2025/03/27/learn-to-code-ignore-ai-then-use-ai-to-code-even-better.html AI is a x10 multiplier – but 10x good or 10x not so good. If you know code then use it as a tool, it's good IMO. But just like copy/pasting from StackOverview without looking, using it blindly or with ignorance…

#Firefox forks: https://lwn.net/Articles/1012453/ Honestly, nothing here really interests me but i'm going to try Zen. The fact they rely on Mozilla for all the heavy lifting is a big part. Right now i'm on #Chrome as my primary. I work on the web and although the browser renders are 99% the same I want to…

Sadly between #Firefox marketshare and #Mozilla doing…. whatever, i'm making the transition to Chrome from Firefox as the primary browser.

Just because you have spent years in [fill in the blank] platform / tech doesn't mean you are giving up or "betraying it" by exploring rivals, competitors, or different tech entirely. Tactfully expanding your knowledge is a must for those in #webdev. Gives you more options but makes you a better developer.

Looking for online personality tests similar to https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/ (but not this – while mine is mostly accurate, my friend's doesn't seem so).

I've seen more impressive #AI workflows in #webdev (much with #WordPress) in the past two weeks then ever. I'm adding Rich Tabor's "Experimenting with Conversational Voice AI" to the list as well. https://rich.blog/voice-ai/ "…built a WordPress block using Cursor and the PlayAI Web SDK."
