I highly recommend making the switch. Social media is about sharing a space to discuss thoughts, not to make others' thoughts fodder for an LLLm's training data.

This was Salma's last stream, but I'll always hold some bit of hope she'll secretly stream again under some anagram, backronym, or play on her handle. I mean, yeah, she's not gone away forever or anything. I'll just miss my monthly does of fantastic, honestly sarcastic web dev. Thank you, Salma!

My book is delayed and you can help! The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book. If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know! 🙏

This episode checks almost everything on my list. ✅ Delivers cheeky jokes about web development trends ✅ Talks about silly LLM tools' latest shenanigans 🟩 Hired me to write these and do other dev rel stuff despite not having an opening Well, can't win them all, but it's still a great episode!

I swear companies are looking to old @adultswimcentral.com and @theonion.com content for ideas. Shot: varlogsimon.leaflet.pub/3m6zrw6k2bs2p Chaser: youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ?...

To the men and women who wear the uniform...my brothers and sisters in arms...I know the message from those six Democratic lawmakers wasn’t just heard...it resonated. The nation will look to you to act with honor. I have full confidence you’ll rise to the moment. #Holdfast

Take a fond look back on the week's news with me. Back when Cloudflare went down. In the days when Google came out with an AI and an IDE. We were so young. So impressionable. Watch now. youtu.be/7k5_216Cfmw

took a crack at the @syntax.fm CSS challenge to reproduce the Lando Norris text hover effect, and I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think I nailed this. 30-ish minutes! codepen.io/jlengstorf/p...

Hey, all. Two weeks ago, I got the unfortunate news that my role was being terminated as part of a workforce reduction. I wrote about what I'm looking for in my next role, and I'd appreciate a signal boost. charlesvillard.co/blog/ready-f...

All those Pizzagate MFs are quiet AF right now

I volunteer as tribute!

Apropos of nothing, and as a moderator of the @codetv.dev Discord, I'm happy to announce an impromptu contest! We need you to draw the new CodeTV mascot: @jason.energy, in a Squirrel-style wingsuit. The sketch that gets the most faves, I'll buy a coffee or something.

Okay folks, it's time: I'm hiring! Looking for 5(!) developer relations engineers across the world! Our company is remote-first but this role involves in-person appearances at events so although you don't need to work in a specific office we are focusing our search in specific metro areas:

This aligns with how I've felt about AI. Can it be a tool? Absolutely! The issue is that, as a developer, it feels like everyone wants to use it for everything. You don't build a house with a hammer alone.

It is literally not hyperbolic or dramatic to consider this man a true psychopath.

I need more people to understand the movement that could be brewing here in Georgia if this young man only lost by 87 votes in COBB COUNTY.

The Callback by @trost.codes is the TechLinked of web development that I never knew I always wanted, and will always be mad that I never came up with first. Please keep making these, they are excellent! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt_5...

We raised a $12.5M Series A round, led by Accel. In this next stage, VoidZero is accelerating development on both our open-source projects and Vite+, the unified JavaScript toolchain. This is only the beginning! → voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

got laid off due to restructuring :( i’m now available for mid+ frontend developer/software engineering positions in the meantime, we’re back to building the future and fun on the web on atproto :)

This is the most personal project I’ve made in years. I launched a new show called The Callback. It’s weekly web dev news with my dumb humor sprinkled on top. If this pilot does well I get to make more, so watching, liking, and sharing would be DEEPLY appreciated 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMOD...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Vercel ➝ Netlify migration made simple. ✅ Checklist ✅ Next.js tips ✅ Best practices Start here → docs.netlify.com/resources/ch...

Someone in my org decided we need to use Vercel. I drafted a blog about how to use one of their features after some struggles. In light of the CEO's post, I won't be publishing that blog. What and how we build reflects on us. We may have to use it for work, but we can choose to not give them air.

So you like Vercel/genAI/Next.js, huh? This man and his company are a blight on the entire field of developer tooling. This is disgusting in the strongest sense. nitter.net/rauchg/statu...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Heads up, y'all! If you get an email from Paradigm Funds by way of @github.com, report it as phishing! It is not part of any official GitHub project and is actually a crypto scam potential collecting GitHub credentials via links in the email to a fake GitHub login page!

Coming soon: all websites & apps built by Webflow AI code gen will be powered by Astro under the hood. That’s a lot of new Astro developers! 🚀

Thrilled to announce Webflow's $150,000 donation to support Astro's open source development! PLUS... Webflow chooses Astro to power their just-announced AI app gen tool, coming soon.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm trying to start here, I just wanted to redesign my website.

Why is this always so scary to look at?

Some part of me feels like naming hot startup companies 🦄 "unicorns" was a mistake. It turned them into mythical creatures for VC to try and birth through horrific economic rituals. Should have just called them "rich little surprises" or something.

I saw @ironspike.bsky.social drop a black YouTuber rec (my kid lives to learn from BlackForager!) so I thought I'd drop one of my own: KrocodileKourtney just started her channel building up a nursery/farm, and I want her channel to boom so bad! Great stuff! www.youtube.com/@KrocodileKo...
