Petition to ban all articles on how AI is changing tech work that go beyond "here's how my personal work has changed" because no one has any business extrapolating and also it's all totally boring

Today I put my hand in a glove and squeezed the juice out of a moth pupa that was apparently inside all over my finger. I’m still recovering. Put your garden gloves somewhere safe from… gross things.

I hadn't heard of this band before but I'm really enjoying this release. Getting classic melodic death metal vibes alongside Behemoth-esque black #metal. Also, what a cover. musicilike.net/s/r/VQ9_tqiE

Every time I find out that a customer is using a dev environment to test / learn / workshop something and inevitably becomes reliant on it, I die a little inside. Please don't let this happen.

Nothing says, “we will milk you for everything you’re worth,” like a notice entitled, “We respect your privacy.”

It seems I won't be able to attend @wrocloverb.com in the end due to 🐶🐾 logistics 😭 . I thought this year would be the year I finally went 😞 Plus, I won't be visiting Poland in 2026, which is super sad, I love it there. This also means I have a ticket to give away. Let me know if you want it!

Happy Trans Visibility Day! I support trans people for the same reason I support muslim, black, gay or female people: we are all minorities on some attribute. Bigotry for the way someone was born is injustice and injustice for one is injustice for all. Solidarity!

You know it's time to stop working when your last message to claude was in caps and filled with expletives.

There’s a special place in hell for people who don’t read their Slack messages, but they’ve yet to get the memo.

Met a moor frog today. We had a moment before I let it go on its way.

Doing a big multi tenant migration and ran into a great post on redis. www.mikeperham.com/2015/09/24/s... Anything change since, @mike.contribsys.com?

Published my first iOS app yesterday! It’s a niche app for people who use #paperless and want a quick workflow for scanning and uploading. Completely free. apps.apple.com/nl/app/scann...

I don't get to play many games these days, but I'm nostalgia-ing hard after finding that one of my favourite games ever, Diablo 2, has a strong fan and online community keeping it not only playable but up-to-date via projectdiablo2.com Even got it working on my M3 Macbook via Porting Kit!

What if I told you that, if you get scurvy, you could end up with all your wounds reopening? (Yes. All of them. Even ones that are decades old.)

“How can we express a negative potential outcome if the user does not take action, without alarming people too much?” Corporate: “Hold my my oat latte macchiato.”

I joined Bluesky to follow people in tech for tech things. I’m noticing, however, how important it is to me to see them share stuff outside of tech too. Not only is it an important reminder that there’s more to life, but it gives me a glimpse of interests I may otherwise be oblivious to. 🌞

This is another great read. Beautifully done, too. www.terrygodier.com/the-last-qui...

It's amazing that Facebook was so sure this was going to take off that they renamed their company Meta

I can throw a few old bananas and some basic ingredients into a bread machine and in 2 hours I have banana bread. What a time to be alive.

Second time migrating to chezmoi, second time migrating back to something simpler.

"If I worried about a fraction of the stuff I should be worried about, I'd never get anything done" – Sterling Archer. Words to live by.

Staring at my screen, wondering what I have a new notification, only to find that the notification is in fact fly poop.

All it took to go from <relatively normal European existence> to <drinking several cups of milky tea and eating crumpets with marmite> was a week in England. I'm sure it'll fade again.

Programming is easy. Pissing about with iOS developer certificates and other nonsense is the hard part.

Probably my first time seeing this before. One UK and two European sockets next to each other on the Eng <-> NL Stena Line ferry. Extremely uninteresting unless it's interesting to you.

If you're going to ask me for lots of information and provide a single line for text input, please make sure that shift+enter works as a line break.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social Can you guys spin up a podcast where you argue about sports vs video games now?

Okay, I’ve run the tests and I can safely say that Marmite is better than Vegemite. Having said that, they’re both vile. Having said that, I’ll keep eating Marmite. I’m not sure why but it feels like some kind of masochistic desire.

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

I had no idea you could add haptics on the web!

Today I woke up at 4:30. The intention was to get up at 5:30, but because I was on the ferry from CET to GMT and airplane mode was on, my phone didn’t know any better. Got so used to not having to think about this when travelling!

Heading to the UK where my wife is representing The Netherlands in Crufts dog agility ☺️

Nuts that there's a war on and most of the communication is being done through some billionaire's CSAM-generating side-project.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

X is more than just a Y. It's a Y.

Immich is incredible. Been after the perfect photo library management tool that doesn't make everything a chore for over a decade, and after fully migrating, I've found it.

Sitting outside with a cup of tea in the first sunny, pleasant days of the year, listening to the birds sing. After a cold, miserable, and seemingly infinite winter, this is soul balm.

Id love just one person to play my #formula1 #f1 pick em fantasy game :( www.deltasync.pro

Aww poo

"Accidentally" break your SaaS app early so that you need to do a DB restore before you *need* to do a DB restore. Gauge the pain.

...different mood, but any excuse to post Alcest. Post a banger that isn't in English.

Been working on an itch-scratching project lately that lets me organise my liked artists / releases outside of any one streaming platform, ease transitions between them, and track new releases. With a share page! Because I have no idea what link to share for artists these days.

The job search: LinkedIn Perfect and inspired masses Post from their asses #haiku

Normal winter life Drip, drip — something is leaking Time to drain the roof #haiku

Sanitization Carefully I wash my hands Wet sleeve — misery #haiku

It's 2026. The terms "rockstar developer" and "ninja coder" should not be in recruitment posts. They never should have been. I can only imagine you're looking for child labour if this is an attempt to appeal.

@vivaldi.com I really like Vivaldi, but address bar ordering drives me a bit crazy. I would like history to take precedence, but often search does.
