The internet used to be so fun.

Spent all day at work writing and optimizing tree traversal type code (similar to what I worked on at Replay or on the ⚛️ devtools) and that’s kind of my happy place. Just thinking about good API ergonomics and optimizations and edge cases

From my perspective, AI usage saps the joy out of both work and creative persist pursuits, but someone it continues to spread Am I just an anomaly? Am I misunderstanding something fundamental?

🤪

We got it! 🥳👯‍♂️

Found an apartment that we want! Now the second hard part of fighting off the other people who also want it 🫠

Every year I file my taxes and my first reaction is "yay I'm getting money back from the state" fast-followed by the realization that I owe way more than that to the feds. Eventually I'll get better at this, maybe. I dunno. Probably not.

Chrome's recently-added "open in split view" context menu option irks me. Seems crazy to just change something that conflicts with such a long-established muscle memory action. Brave's decision to move it lower in the list is so much better. github.com/brave/brave-...

I'm helping my nephew (who lives in Virginia) search for a laptop, and I ended up on Walmart's website and saw this bizarre modal. What do cookies have to do with health information when in the context of a retail site like Walmart? Unless maybe I was purchasing medicine... but still

“AI bots might actually have feelings so if one opens a PR on your open source project, you should be nice to it” is not an argument I have the energy to even try to entertain 😮‍💨 What are some of you tech nerds smoking and have you considered therapy?

The apartment search saga continues 😮‍💨 here we go again for another round of viewings

FYI just published react-resizable-panels version 4.6.4 with a nice bug fix for touch devices. github.com/bvaughn/reac...

"Microsoft AI CEO says in 12-18 months all white-collar jobs will be replaced by AI" So either he's full of shit (obviously he's highly incentivized to exaggerate the capabilities of what he's being paid huge money to build) –

Any SVG nerds out there want to solve this mystery? github.com/bvaughn/reac...

New daily hobby: 1. Open Street Easy 2. Search for new apartment listings 3. Despair a little bit at the lack of updates 4. Email the one new listing and ask if they allow dogs 5. Panic

Naming songs is a weird thing. So much time is spent writing and recording a thing, and then a name is chosen almost whimsically

I was a bit surprised by these usage numbers. I guess versions 3 and 4 haven't been out that long (9 months and 2 months respectively)

It’s time now to sleep so we can start over again in the morning and pretend that everything is fiiine

Windchill this morning when we took the dog for a walk was -17F 😮‍💨 I just have to keep reminding myself that I really like living here most of the time

Apartment hunting in NYC is no fun 🥺

Whew 😮‍💨 PBS did him dirty on this YouTube thumbnail

I would jump at the chance to rewind a decade or two, to have a few good years again before AI bullshit was splattered everywhere

When I think about UX functionality, DevX/API, documentation, etc.– react-resizable-panels has become the OSS project I'm most proud of 😌

The npmx.dev file browser is pretty slick 👍🏼

I have but one like 🥺 and it isn’t even me (because all of the auth links fail) npmx.dev/package/reac...

London ✈️ New York I am so excited to go home and see Lena and Star 🦮 and to sleep in my own bed

London has been fun(ish) but I am so excited to be heading home tomorrow

Have gotten a couple of inquiries recently about putting my name/face on projects that other programmers would then do in exchange for a cut of the pay, and the idealistic side of me always feels sad about how cynical this is.

Resizable Panels version 4.6.0 now supports disabling Panels or Separators. Kind of an edge case feature, but I think it unlocks a few new types of UIs (like resizable accordions) react-resizable-panels.vercel.app/examples/dis...

react-resizable-panels version 4.5.9 just published A bit nervous about the collapsible bug fix, because it's been really tricky to get right. If you have a moment to try it out- I'd love some extra eyes to verify nothing unexpected happens. github.com/bvaughn/reac...

NYC ✈️ London

Surprising how often people will file an issue on GitHub and then ghost it. Seems kind of inconsiderate and also a bit pointless.

Another weird PointerEvent edge case github.com/bvaughn/reac...

react-resizable-panels version 4.5.0 released with a couple of nice usability features plus a couple small bug fixes. github.com/bvaughn/reac...

Interesting CSS regression github.com/bvaughn/reac...

Why is anyone listening to Anthony Scaramucci? How is this guy still being interviewed on the news and on podcasts? What a clown…

Irksome Firefox cursor precision issue for pointer events. github.com/bvaughn/reac...

It's such a small and unimportant thing, but it drives me crazy that this setting is not off by default

Don't know if anyone is looking for an open source issue to contribute to, but this one is pretty well-defined. github.com/bvaughn/reac...

Feeling blue so I’ve retreated to a happy place on the couch with a heating pad and Puppycat

Tuesday took it out of me so hard, I fell asleep on the couch 😩

My eyes hurt so much this winter from the cold, dry air

I feel unready for the week ahead.

Wtf am I supposed to do with this

Let’s see how much better this app is now that I’ve setup some mute words 😌

I hate this 😮‍💨

Last night I rented time in a recording “studio” nearby to track some loud vocals for one of my band’s songs, and the unit next door was a nail salon. I keep wondering what they must have thought.

It surprises me how often someone online will push you to fix a bug or make a change for them, and then not even say “thanks” once they’ve gotten what they want. Bizarre anti-social behavior.

Everything feels a bit off lately, like we’re all just waiting for something really bad to happen. That just me?
