I think about this a lot

Time for some nostalgia www.youtube.com/watch?v=psY_...

Just saw an ad for a vibe coding platform where the person didn’t know how to code and built and app, and immediately started making money. Yeah, good luck supporting that shit.

This sounds like some strange evolution of Marvin from the Hitchhiker's guide, who now has even more mental issues.

POV: your engineering manager can hear your thoughts

I just want someone to take them by the hand, look deep into their eyes, & whisper "Nobody is stealing your fun. You can still play your favorite game with your friends just like always. Shhh. It's ok. It's oookay. Those people are playing other games in other places, far away from you."

This made me laugh the other day (Alan Dye, who appears to have been the chief person pushing the "liquid glass" change, has left Apple for Meta)

Uit 2024. Not AI. Awesome.

Great 🧵 about why this whole online age verification thing is stupid

Day [06] ✅ One bug less! The Yeti's holiday party is almost ready at DebugDecember.com #DebugDecember This is a fun challenge! Today's bug gave me an opportunity to get up to speed on JavaScript generator functions.

… and he SERVED ✨

look I made a thing ok and i am not proud of it

I feel like writing UI tests is one of the best uses of AI in my current dev workflow. Especially ifou already have some tests, you can just tell it to look at existing tests for examples, and then describe the UI interactions you wanna test, and the results are surprisingly good!

I feel like what's missing from services like google maps is data about what products shops offer. I'd love to be able to do a query like: Find me all shops within radius X that are guaranteed to stock product Y. Bonus points if I can sort by time on public transport to get there.

it shoudl be illegal to have a customer support chat that doesn't make noise when an agent finally shows up and you're in another tab. We're wasting everyone's time now, the agent waiting for me, me having to start ANOTHER support convo.

With postal services struggling to deliver packages on time during the holidays, I kinda wouldn't mind if they just had mandatory pickup points for everyone, so they could just deliver them in bulk within a town/city. Just make sure the pick up points are reachable by public transport.

C'mon guys, millionaires wear suits! The agony of being a spymaster

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Now this is the kind of news I want in my feed. Vote people into power support and fund scientific research, so we'll get more of this.

Ik was een beetje nerveus toen ik las dat De Man met de Toverlantaarn in de Efteling gemaakt is met behulp van AI voor een aantal van de beelden, maar ik geef @timhinssen.bsky.social in @kleineboodschap.com helemaal gelijk, wat een prachtige show!

People endlessly argue over what biannual and biweekly mean, and honestly, I think we should just erase these words from the English language. Just say "twice a week/year" or "every two weeks/years" and be done with it.

After years of preparing I have finally decided it's time write a book. A book. ...okidoki, that wasn't hard at all.

If Google ever releases Chrome version 182, and therefore also Blink 182, it should be a bugfix release, nicknamed "All the small things".

yeah man why do you think it's called "phishing"

Just discovered that instead of searching for a place in Google maps, then clicking directions, picking my origin, picking walking, I can just type "walking directions from ABC to XYZ" into the search bar. Feels so much quicker!

Googling for anything WCAG (accessibility guidelines) related is annoying AF. I just want to know what changed between certain versions of the spec, and all I'm getting are sites trying to sell me their accessibility checkers.

Hot take: I think parameter labels in programming languages are underrated. It's where you include the name of the parameters when calling a function. (keyword arguments in Python parlance)

My mom and I went to Phantasialand last weekend to celebrate my mom's bday. Apart from the fact that they really are in need of a better policy for disabled guests, we had a fantastic time!

~3 years ago, as part of a trip with the American Coaster Enthousiasts, I had the pleasure of getting a backstage tour of Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen. We got to climb the lift hill, and then go inside the garage where they store and work on the trains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN0w...

Zeg @vvdonline.bsky.social, hoe gaat het eigenlijk met de jeugdzorg in Nederland? Alles lekker daar? Of was het toch belangrijker om de rijkste Nederlanders 8% rijker te maken dan om te investeren in toekomstige generaties?

I spent my halloween playing the new Jackbox Party pack w friends. Can highly recommend.

When the moon hits your eye, you will probably die. No amore.

Paulton's Park is building a new viking-themed area, and I love all the progress updates they're sharing. I'd love to take a little trip to the UK either next year or in '27, also to catch Gold Rush at Drayton Manor, which I missed by a month last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP-z...

Halloween costume ideea: dress up as an em dash.

Just had to log back into twitter because a company wouldn't let me contact them unless I was logged in, logging in required an app, and their app was erroring out. I love technology.

We apologise for the current eggs outage. It appears the basket is down.

aws reseller (derogatory)

"Alexa, what is a paradox?"

Best of luck to all the on-call engineers today, dealing with the AWS outage

git stash is Schrodinger's tech debt

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Pay people you like on the internet folks, it’s going to be rough out there

I started reading the latest book in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series. So far, it’s everything ice cone to expect from his stories: cozy, witty, intriguing, and full of personality.

I'd give a lot rn for just some darn reproducible e2e test results. Having a "it works on my machine" day.

it’s deployed on vercel

The internet makes you feel like you're always late. To trends. To skills. To opportunities. You're a wizard, dude. You arrive precisely when you mean to.
