    I'll be honest. i'm probably not the greatest husband when it comes to understanding my wife. I would lie if sometimes as a #programmer i didn't read her like this. #memes

    When you're #programming and you discover you misspelled a variable… ….and instead of fixing you just add a appropriate comment to make it look like you meant it. #webDev #memes

Someone built a 🖲️ Marble Madness 🖲️ #WebGL game we for #Netlify. https://5-million-devs.netlify.com More info: 👉🏻 https://www.littleworkshop.fr/projects/5milliondevs/ "The website is fully optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers, with user controls and UI components tailored for each device."

  • " #Mastodon weaknesses and how to fix them " https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html Bookmarking to read in full later… …but interesting mention of #BlueSky starter packs (seeing more of pack mentions outside of BS). I wonder if we'll see the concept and execution come to other networks like M, and if BS didn't have them how long would…

  • "#Bluesky and #ATProto are not meaningfully decentralized, and are not federated either. However, this is not to say that Bluesky is not achieving something useful; while Bluesky is not building what is presently a decentralized Twitter… …it is building an excellent replacement for Twitter, and Bluesky's main deliverable goal is something else instead: a Twitter…

    This other social network has made #Mastodon is such a enigma. And not talking about Twitter. "Hoping Mastodon will get it's great migration too.""Hoping Mastodon stays small / underdog." …shouted simultaneously out of the same mouths. Proud to make my home here but it's odd.. maybe some of this noise is performative? Reminds me of…

  • Why I 🧡 the web. #Foursquare #opensource its places database. @simon gives a little preview if you're a #developer: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/20/foursquare-open-source-places/ Actual announcement here: https://location.foursquare.com/resources/blog/products/foursquare-open-source-places-a-new-foundational-dataset-for-the-geospatial-community/ Could lead to maybe some fun #webdev ideas.

    Maybe #Bluesky isn't so great after all. I told it to make me a "Starter Pack". It apparently took one look at my profile, jokes, what i looked like… and it came up with this. #memes

  • Working of my first real #Laravel project as i'm learning it – takes some getting used to. There's a lot of packages and shortcodes i'm trying to avoid to "learn" the bare metal. But it's only taken 3 weeks to get me to a point where I'm mostly just churning code away on a major,…

    Cue the "what are alternatives to #Pixelmator" takes. As a user for many years – using this instead of Photoshop – i'm neutral on this for now. If anyone HAD to buy it I would go with #Apple. Give Adobe maybe a run for their money.

  • This is big in #Apple world. Especially if you don't use #Adobe or #Photoshop. I paid for #Pixelmator and fond of it. https://9to5mac.com/2024/11/01/apple-reaches-deal-to-acquire-pixelmator/ 17 year old company… and how often does Apple do acquisitions like this? Almost never.

  • "What is the point of an online conference?" https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/what-is-the-point-of-an-online-conference/ Accessibility and affordability usually are the big reasons. Sometimes it's being in the right mindset. I've seen online conferences done right. I miss live tweeting conferences like #PHP and #WordPress WordCamps – got a lot of interaction from people watching them online. #conferences #tech
