I burned 300 calories on a bike ride today. I deserve to drink 800 calories of whiskey & coke.

The HTMX under construction banner is glorious. It makes me want to join a webring. Only thing it's missing is the gif of the stick figure with a shovel.

When I get bugs in my code, call me "Johnny Console.logSeed"

Don't like OpenAI? If you're abstaining from it, you're doing it wrong. You should be using as much as you can on the free tier to eat into their bottom line. The revolution will not be televised but it will be subsidized.

Chat just informed me that "#region" and "//MARK:" can be used to annotate the minimap in VS Code.

Marijuana breathalyzers are tricky but I have a better solution: When you start your car, it turns on a baseball game on the radio. If you are able to listen to it for longer than a minute, your ignition deactivates for at least an hour. Patent pending

Speaking at meetups and conference is a great way to attract the attention of those looking to hire people with the skills you talk about. @seattlejs.com also has lots of cool and friendly people. Presenting a talk is a great way to introduce yourself! Our CFP is always open 😉

At a previous job, I got in trouble for pointing this out in a company Slack thread.

Here's something that I think @joerogantop.bsky.social needs to hear... If Bill Hicks were alive today, he would be roasting the FUCK out of Joe Rogan

I just coined a new term: Platyform It's a form in your app that is hard to classify because a portion of it's state is in something like react-hook-form and another portion of it's state is governed by a separate useState hook.

A viewer showed me this: www.awsclone.com

When that one creed song comes on at a bar, I channel weird Al in my head replacing the lyrics with “I’m six feet from the door and I’m leaving…”

Looks good to me

Anyone else have an outfit they always wear when they fly?

If CSS and/or z-index bugs are getting you down, just remember that even Google gets it wrong sometimes.

I can now opencode from my phone thanks to @tailscale.com

20$ cover charge for the most Seattle-style club I’ve ever seen. I would be so mad if it wasn’t so funny…

Snowboarding is still great, but I couldn't ride park like I used to. They would call me mister glass

No pressure, but if you have any appreciation for Node.js and its impact on your life as a dev, I would encourage you to support the legacy of Mikeal Rogers. gofund.me/c7aa2ffd1

We didn't start the fire... it was the swollen macbook battery.

I am so looking forward to @commityourcode.bsky.social next year. If only for the chance to have some more epic BBQ. The conf was amazing too.

Ok hear me out. Save those airplane cookies/biscuits. The “bischoff” ones? They are basically a more delicious TUMS when you really need them

Thanks to @samogborn.bsky.social for chatting with me about @skylight.social ✨ You can watch the interview here: https://youtu.be/gfdyPb0FKZA?si=0wsyVcqhIjtokBWf

Just saw the coolest slide presentation tool for cli-focused presentations, made by @scottchacon.com github.com/schacon/slid...

I’m normally just a bourbon neat or bourbon and coke drinker but this “red swan” from Absinthe in SF is making me reconsider cocktails.

I like this photo from @cascadiajs.com but the bags under my eyes have bags under their eyes.

Chimbawumba’s tubthumbing is a solid karaoke song but there is no way you’re prepared for how long the chorus goes at the end of the song

I should barely miss my flights more often. That was a solid cardio workout trying to get there in time.

As a millennial, I forgot how much I liked Static-X's "Push it". Off into a 90's rabbit hole I go.

@jaredlemler.bsky.social is wearing this year’s cmgriffing Halloween costume a month too early.

I feel called out. @brittanyellich.com gave a great talk about why we should avoid the urge to rewrite our apps @cascadiajs.com

Awesome. Thanks for the photo

Dev Squares at @cascadiajs.com put a smile on everyone’s face. Great fun from @nearestnabors.com, @codetv.dev, @erinmikail.bsky.social, @gantlaborde.com, and more.

AI* has changed the way I write. Not because I use it to write, but because I can no longer use phrases I've used for years, like "dive into".

One of the problems I have with a lot of the BaaS companies that end up just being resellers, is that you have to go viral with your complaint about the bill you got for going viral.

It’s that time of year again. Some wild animal just spontaneously shed the majority of its fur.

Lobste.rs has an issue to get BlueSky publishing going. github.com/lobsters/lob... @pfrazee.com Is this the right approach? Should they just be publishing to an "@lobste.rs" account or would it make more sense to operate a relay of their own? Tagging @push.cx for visibility

When I am out, I typically drink bourbon and coke. At home I don't need the calories so I just do bourbon and a bunch of water. Lately I have been squeezing a quarter of a lime into the home beverage. Every time I think: Put the lime in the coconut, drink em both up

It's so hot here in Seattle, I'm feeling like Lenny. "Tell me about the winter, George. Tell me about the ski bunnies."

Oh how the turn tables... I remember when Ubuntu became the "standard" for VM/VPS use cases because Debian was too slow to update packages in the official repository. (like when PHP 5.6 was coming out) Now Debian has more up to date packages than Ubuntu LTS.

Them: I love souls-likes because of the challenge. Me: Oh so you beat Battletoads and the TMNT game already, right?

Kind of surreal to see the "Conference Speaker" part of this. CascadiaJS is such a great conference.

Which commercials do you want to do? Walton Goggins:

I'm building out Compound Keyword support for Messijo and I can't decide on how to show the toggle for the keyword part's "match on whole words only" functionality. Which do you like more?

I just saw something that blew my mind. Some sushi vendor at Mariners stadium has a roll called the “Ichiroll”. I’m mad I didn’t think of it first.

Slightly diminish a band: Aluminum Dan

TIL that a whiskey and coke is technically an elixir.

The entire world has 6 degrees of separation. The tech industry has 3 or 4 MAX. Think about that.
