it's always such a relief to see that there are still creative and fun and silly projects hidden in the corners of the WWW - good stuff 🧑‍🍳 (if you have any that you super like, pls send them my way!) 🔗 50centadjustedforinflation.com

Name the movie?

In 12 hours, I get on a plane back to London. Thank you for having me, @cascadiajs.com!! What an uplifting and friendly community of Devs! And thank you @internetstudio.bsky.social for letting me cowork! I love this space, too! Seattle is a bopping city in the indie tech space

Ishan Anand (@ishananand.bsky.social‬) is coming to #CascadiaJS to demystify LLM internals for web developers using a real LLM implemented entirely in vanilla JavaScript that runs in the browser. No Ph.D. needed! 🤓

some thoughts on AI tooling, evolution and developer promiscuity redmonk.com/sogrady/2025...

Super happy for the people of New York City! 🍎❤️

It's like War Games: the only way to win is not to play. Someone pointed out that Cursor asks candidates to record a 90-sec video. My conference @cascadiajs.com does the same for CFP submissions.

The best and the worst part of working on @cascadiajs.com is our CFP review process. The *best* because you can't BELIEVE how many great speakers and interesting stories are out there 🤩 The *worst* because we have so few speaking slots and have to make some agonizing choices 😭

Kids at my son's high school had to get a permission slip signed in order to attend an *on-site* talk by a speaker from the Holocaust Center for Humanity. We live in Seattle, WA.

If you're old enough, you'll remember an identical panic about the Internet and Google. Agree with @seldo.com, the kids will be alright.

Does anyone who runs a newsletter or mailing list have a strong recommendation? I've used Mailchimp and Customer.io in the past, is there anything I should be looking at today?

If you see this post your getaway vehicle.

Yes!!! @theonion.com

Ticket secured to see the last IMAX screening of Sinners at Boeing IMAX tomorrow. Really glad I didn't miss it 😅

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

Happy Alien Day for those who celebrate

I just verified @bmann.ca using Bluesky's new verification system. Try verifying someone yourself using @cred.blue's verifier tool: cred.blue/verifier

Can't overstate how cool of a role this could be for someone who believes in Bluesky's potential to build a non-toxic and open future for social media 🙏

It's nice to remember that there are places in the world where no one cares what the latest model is or how good it is at rendering spinning hexagons 🌸

Sigh 😔

If you haven't, go watch Flow. With your kids if you have any. It's streaming on Max.

Alien: Romulus might be my least favorite Alien movie. And that's saying something.

Still buzzing over how much fun the #HackingAgents Hackathon SF was ⚡️ Thanks to everyone who made #HackingAgents possible, including @craigsdennis.dev @lizziesiegle.xyz and my partner in crime @melhq.bsky.social ❤️ Starting to think where we should go next. Maybe Seattle?

If Foursquare still existed, I'd "check-in" to Palo Alto for the first time ever!

The comments to this tweet all boil down to: 1. I'm angry I was made to feel I needed to change something. 2. Huh, it's actually a better word and 33% shorter to boot. 3. But fuck it, master 4 lyfe 😈

Congrats to crypto folks hanging on all these years to get bailed out by $TRUMP and a truly breathtaking next 4 years of looting the likes of which no one has seen since the fall of the Soviet Union.

What's the programming equivalent of being THIS happy?

A missing `\r\n` in a multipart/form-data request ruined my day today so I had to write about it. philna.sh/blog/2025/01...

TIL that there's a famous music producer named Benny Blanco
