Back in March, @pedropeguerojr.com and I hosted our first meetup for @3-3.fyi. Our next meetup will be the first time that we *don't* have someone give a presentation. I want to highlight the great presentations we got this year because they have been *really* fucking good. 🧵 1/?

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc… 1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work 2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

Hey people sorry I disappeared from the internet for a bit. A whooooole bunch of stuff happened, good, bad, great, terrible. I’ll post about it in a week or so. But hi! How have YOU been?

Like the 100th thing I can’t believe they shipped. Like wtf. We’d live in a different world if Scott Forestall were the boss.

It turned my stomach to see that team member playfully say things like "Should I delete that post for you since its an ad?" when it was a link to some small individual creator's work. To think that's what we've got shaping strategy at one of the world's most influential platforms is very unsettling

BayerCam.app is a camera app dedicated to raw Bayer capture, which admittedly makes it a quite niche and technical tool But I still wanted it to feel fun, and like something you could make your own, so it ships with a bunch of preset themes - and you can change all the UI colors, too.

read.cv is officially shutting down today, rip read.cv and posts.cv :,)

Cut off their water and power. This 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February. George Zoley, founder of GEO Group's personal fortune has grown by $50 mil since Nov.

Be like The Verge.

Let's play a game with `document.querySelectorAll` 617 div elements. 84 elements with aria-label. All 84 are divs. No button/role=button elements. 12 anchor/role=link elements. 5 role=link elements. All 5 are divs. 5 elements with tabindex. All 5 are divs. 7 elements with href. 5 are divs.

@alecgettert.com What are you learning to code with

TL;DR: paying people fairly has a ton of non-obvious side effects, which turn out to be ridiculously beneficial. oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

Funny how the majority of tech founders, the supposed "crazy ones", suffer immensely from groupthink.

Chat, is this real? 💢 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQeG...

Less than 24 hours until the next 3&3 meetup! Join us for another virtual hang and presentation from @nowaykohei.com 📽️ lu.ma/222qw1hm

Slept on it and just finding out that The Orville did Star Trek better than Star Trek wtf

Absolutely freaking nailed it dylanbeattie.net/2025/04/11/t...

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Amie has become the definition of a "pick me" app

@flarup.bsky.social has been on a roll with longer form design content lately. www.flarup.email?r=28vy

learning to code is learning to think

Finally, someone is actually making Ruby on Rails except for JavaScript. nuejs.org

Woohoo, a big win for accessible design! @figma.com now includes a *built-in* color contrast checker, making it easier to design for everyone. 🎨

The @3-3.fyi newsletter goes out tomorrow morning, including announcing our next speaker and a link to @nickisnoble.posts.cv's last presentation. We don't yet have a newsletter archive so if you don't want to miss it, make sure you're on the mailing list: 3-3.fyi

Apparently my type of fun has a name and it's Type II 😅 www.rei.com/blog/climb/f...

Still early days, but here’s a sneak peek of "Sapiens". A curated list of people across the internet, giving everyone a chance to be seen, appreciated, and connected. What do you think? #DesignSky

Dungeon Post: Solo dice-placement card game! alexandershen.itch.io/dungeon-post by @shenbotmakes.bsky.social

New site who dis nicknoble.works

Since a few people DMd me about it, I figured I’d put all the links in one place for the projects I mentioned yesterday in my talk @3-3.fyi

This was soooo fun

Tomorrow's the first event under the new name, you don't want to miss this one: lu.ma/zqufxkj4

Really excited to be talking about side projects @ @3-3.fyi tomorrow afternoon! It's the 1st "official" talk for their new format, thankful to be a part of it because @taurean.posts.cv && @pedropeguerojr.com have put tons of love + thinking into making the next wonderful design community.

Poll is now closed, we’re set for Tuesday at 12pm PST, I’ll share a link with a summary of what to expect soon. I saw a preview of the presentation from @nickisnoble.posts.cv and you don’t want to miss it 👀 ** Tuesday, March 18th, Noon PST ** whereby.com/tw-meetup

Shit is about to get so dystopian corticallabs.com/cl1.html

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.

During this next meetup, we'll be experimenting by *slightly* tweaking the format. Here's what you can expect: 1. a *casual* meetup with designers and developers, now open to anyone 2. some pre-planned discussion topics X. Ending the session with a presentation by @nickisnoble.posts.cv!

I've seen tons of starter templates for #PKM apps. Most are designed to LOOK impressive, but are honestly garbage in practice. This showcases the power of Obsidian + Dataview, without overwhelming or including any BS people would want to delete immediately. And you can just build on it! 10/10

One of the things that gets overlooked is just how great the Read newsletter was, a mix of great content and updates from the community itself. Hopefully @pedropeguerojr.com and I will be able to capture a fraction of that magic. 3-3.fyi
