Throwing my child quite literally face-first into my hobbies and interests

First trip to children’s A&E feels like a rite of passage (all is well)

You’ve eaten your last world, Jimmy

My son took me to the Campsie Falls for Father’s Day ❤️

Claude, how do I relax after my vacation with three kids under three?

✨ Have you ever wondered whether JavaScript animation libraries like GSAP or Motion are as performant as raw CSS transitions/keyframes? The answer is surprisingly nuanced. We dig into the question in my brand-new blog post:

Ads finally dropped in chatGPT. It was fun whilst it lasted

low key one of the best uses for AI atm is “rebase with latest master. resolve all conflicts. chop chop”

Stopped for a quick Old Fashioned before my train back to Glasgow. Pointed at what I was pretty sure was just Yamazaki. Turns out it was Yamazaki 12. Coincidentally, I am now 12x poorer

What a lineup at Beyond the Prompt yesterday! I loved hearing balanced takes & real world use cases for AI in person When feeds favour hype and/or doom, it’s easy to forget conversations like this can exist Great to meet some new faces too! @philhawksworth.dev @sylwia.bsky.social @localghost.dev 👋

Let’s gooooo. Stoked to attend

I took a picture of @twnsnd.com taking a picture of @jeremias.codes taking a picture of @danielroe.dev taking a picture of his flat white.

Didn’t quite make the sub-5 target, but picked up plenty of PBs along the way! 🥇

Stretching off before the #EtapeCaledonia tomorrow morning. 85 miles. Sub-5 target. Let’s go!

NEW SERIES DROPS TOMORROW — join the watch party tomorrow at 3pm Pacific @itsthatladydev.bsky.social hosts a new series that explores just how much AI has impacted "build vs. buy" conversations around SaaS by putting devs to the test to build popular SaaS tools, presented by @replay-io.bsky.social

My daily inner monologue

It’s the lesser of two evils, but man does the survivor’s guilt hit hard

68/75 Etape Loch Ness 2026 Used Claude to help me rethink my training and fuelling strategy and knocked 20 minutes off my PB 😎 strava.app.link/wxDhgILBE2b #75DaysOfMovement

I’ll be in London on May 19. Looks like I’m free in the evening. Let me know if you’d like to meet / catch up!

I did it. I made a song.

10 Alpe du #Zwift summits in just over two weeks. Worth 😎 With the Everest Challenge complete, I’m now the proud owner of a Tron bike!

I forgot one of the most important recommendations for tracking (and predicting) your child's sleeping pattern: App - Huckleberry

Today I finally made the shift from ChatGPT to Claude. GPT largely remains a sycophant, and Claude appears to be leagues ahead in terms of code generation. Let's see if there's any noticeable difference in the upcoming weeks. What is everyone else using these days (for personal use)?

Back to back A10 victories in #SlayTheSpire2. Dream team 💪

First A10 victory in #SlayTheSpire2 💪

Wee man turns one tomorrow. Figured it was time for his first set of wheels

i've been reflecting a lot lately on how so much of getting better as a developer doesn't show up in your commit history. it takes months and has no real PR/ artifact to show for it until one day you just... notice you got better at something. wrote a post on it: sarahgerrard.me/posts/slow-p...

Good luck @roxyrodbeck.bsky.social!

In honour of my kid turning one at the weekend, here’s my list of recommendations that saw us through. Hopefully it’ll help any new parents out there! Sleepwear - MORI Book - Maybe (Chris Haughton) Food - Nuby bottles Toys - Lovevery Music - Brent Holmes

Glad to see my beloved Defect is still holding up in Slay the Spire 2. Beep boop⚡️

It’s been a heck of a month, and it all comes down to this. 😄 The finale starts in 2 minutes!

I’m about 60% sure this is correct, but happy birthday @ped.ro 🎈 If not, then consider it a belated or pre-emptive well wishing for whenever it may be

I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin: - creating worktrees - stacked diffs - code reviewer - ticket created & populated - resources linked to ticket - pr reviewers / ticket subs - status updates

Catching up on @joshwcomeau.com and @cassidoo.co’s CSS face off m.youtube.com/watch?v=gwVm...

Get in touch with Phil. He even has his own contact form

Slay the Spire 2. Into my veins.

What an insane game to wrap up the #SixNations! If Scotland had beaten Ireland that would’ve been a tough, tough pill to swallow. Alas. Viva La France 🇫🇷

The losing bonus point is that I don’t need to cheer England on this evening. A bittersweet #SixNations campaign for Scotland, but Ireland were always the better team and we never really looked like winning

Stoked for this. The production quality on the trailer alone is 😚👌
