the thing that bsky and twitter have the most in common is that the people building them treat their users like they're idiots

For the no browser js inclined developer, Counterscale 3.3.0 will include an update to the tracker npm package that allows you to track serverside analytics with Counterscale! github.com/benvinegar/c...

I've come to accept AI will write the majority of code. So earlier this year I started exploring other ways AI could help developers. That turned into this company, Modem. We're building an agent that does PM triage work for you and delivers product context to your IDE. More here: modem.dev 🙏

Yes. Each bout with COVID-19 weakens our body and immune system. We never truly recover 100%, which is the reason why we should try and prevent re-infections. Viruses never die, they stay in our bodies, hibernating. When the body weakens enough, KA-POW! Re-emerging, wreaking havoc all over again.

The best thing about working on an app like Counterscale is that "production" is just my personal deployment. So deploying local work to "production" is very low risk and at worst will require me to redeploy from main! No ephemeral envs, preview deploys, or any other more complicated mechanism

COVID is as relevant in 2025 as it was from 2020 to 2022 The gov’t & mainstream media wants you to 🙈 🙉 🙊 Your “mild” infection from weeks, months, or even yrs ago could be affecting your organs & immune system w/o you knowing #LongCOVID symptoms can appear weeks / months after the acute infection

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

🚨 Malicious update to @ctrl/tinycolor on npm is part of an active supply chain attack hitting 40+ packages across multiple maintainers. Audit & remove affected versions. Our analysis of the malware: socket.dev/blog/tinycol... #NodeJS #JavaScript

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW. It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.

a lot of stuff sucks about working in tech rn, but it's not lost on me how incredible it is that I can spend my whole work day with a cat in my lap

we're working on another idea in e18e thats built using svelte and should help visualise/communicate some of these clean up efforts got any svelte folk who fancy chipping in? 😀

Counterscale's still humming along – almost 2k GitHub stars now. This summer we (mostly @stordahl.dev) added: - user auth - referrer favicons - works w/ multiple CF accounts - UTM tracking (PR lands soon)

When someone is having a mental health crisis, please do not call the police. 1 in 4 people killed by police are, or are perceived to be, experiencing a mental health crisis. A person with unmet mental health needs is 16 times more likely to be killed by the police. Cops don’t keep us safe.
