There's something really energising about building an app from scratch and having friends use it and enjoying it! Just wish I could give it more attention and add cool features. Balancing that with a full time job + adult life is a hard mission by itself 🥲

Say it louder for the people in the back!

When you're breaking into tech and take the term "sprints" quite literally 😂 Joking aside, looking forward to this advent of #svelte! 🥳

If there's a use case for AI that I really think is useful, is facilitating Speech to Text (STT). 🙌 The fact that this can run offline is even cooler!

Game prices are insane nowadays. I remember when I'd pay 25€ for a game and it was a complete, finished product. Now, the average price for a AAA title is like 80€ and you still have extra DLCs on the side + micro transactions everywhere. Not even mentioning the poorly optimised 60€ remasters...

Took me 6y in this industry to finally realise what I enjoy doing the most. 🌟 Performance optimisation! It is undeniable that software nowadays is consuming evermore resources, making some equipment obsolete fast. But I find joy in turning a 100Mb RAM consuming app into a 30mb one. Feels good 🧘‍♂️

I honestly think I forgot how to live without an air frier... 😬

I am now dead.

Did you know that according to ISO 27001, 8.28 Secure coding, pair programming, refactoring, and test-driven development are considered to be secure coding practices? Next time someone ask, shh, just let it happen!

Update on my Rust journey: Found out that a program can "panic!" when encountering an unexpected behaviour, and thought that instead of calling "panic!", I'd create my own wrapper with the ASCII representation of the "spongebob panicking" gif. Time well spent, I'd say! 😆

Becoming a web developer has been both the best and worst decision I've made. Once you know how the sausage is made, there's no turning back.. Some dark UX patterns should be considered criminal 😤

"345 partner's" wanting to capitalize on my personal data, and I either pay to have my privacy respected, or agree to being exploited... ??? F*cking criminal behaviour this. @howtogeek.bsky.social way to drive privacy conscious people out of your website...

I am one more :any away from seriously learning Rust and attempt to secure a job in it full-time. Ain't nobody got time to deal with runtime errors because no one bothers to type things correctly or even configure Typescript to perform strict null checks. 😫

Go read this thread from start to finish instead of doom scrolling for dopamine hits!

You can also take this opportunity to switch to Linux and live happily ever after while not being spied on on a payed/proprietary OS! 🙃

I love when I stumble across software that doesn't spy on me, is optimized to use as little resources as possible, accomplishes exactly what it set out to do and just works! Too bad that's the outlier and not the norm nowadays... Shout out to cmus!

I have so many things I'd like to learn and do, but working full time just drains all my energy. 🫠 We need 4 day work weeks ASAP!

TIL you can have a fully fledged music player running in the terminal, and the geek in me teared up a little. 🥲 Plus, it only consumes roughly 33Mb of RAM! For comparison, VLC consumes roughly 3.5x more. I love #Linux and #OSS 🥹

Didn't let procrastination take the best of me and just finished it! This is for all of you thread lovers out there, a full PWA which helps you split text into more digestible chunks! Fully installable, works offline, no data harvesting or spying. Like it should be!

Damn, I have another side project idea... Sorry Squirtle gang 🥲

Even people with +5y of xp are hurting atm. Interviewing was never easy in this field, but right now even *getting* to an interview is tough. Mass AI applications are definitely a factor, but the saturation of junior roles in this industry is not recent either. Best of luck to those looking rn!

I thought bsky would be different, but even here I get exposed to needless social media drama that I couldn't care less. Waffles, pancakes, who gives a damn... We're all flour from the same sack yet we can't find a way to get along. Empathy and understanding really are rare skills nowadays.

Ads, done right! 👌

We have a choice to fight back against companies who seem to be led by people deprived of moral and ethical values. We have a choice other than being complacent with their attitude and leadership. We can & must to better!

Why are CEOs of major tech companies just a bunch of amoral & entitled assholes? It doesn't have to be that way fss Having the urge to to get off my ass and start a company just to prove you can lead AND embody great values. They're not mutually exclusive.

I got 99 problems and a good night of sleep would solve at least 90 of them

Sometimes I feel like a code janitor. Could be a job title at this point, I swear...

Time for some early Christmas donations it seems! Let's free JS from Oracle's tentacles! 🦑

It's like CEOs and stakeholders played Cyberpunk and wanted it to make it a reality 💀

Nice, there's a little bit of actual content in my ads. Thanks google!

When all work is marked as "critical" or "urgent", all cease to be anymore. If I can realise this, how come upper management seems completely blind to that?

After close to a year (on and off) in the making, my side project is finally released! 🎊 Meet Quote Library! A place where you can save/revisit your book quotes easily and hang on the the knowledge you once thought good enough to highlight! Powered by #svelte & #tauri!

I use to think this early on, that other people's code would surely be better and more bug free than my own. Needless to say, I have now enough experience to know better! Looking at you, leaky abstractions!

Been feeling so tired lately that today I actually dreamt about sleeping. The good thing is that I now understand the movie 'Inception' a bit better!

Alright, I'm not gonna lie... Releasing an app to the whole world is a bit... daunting 😅 Any nuggets of advice for a solo-dev about to pull the prod release trigger in the next few days?

What a cool and interesting concept! So refreshing to see innovation in the social media side of things. Also, for a beta, I must say it looks highly polished! Great job @anisota.net team! 👏👏

Slightly diminishing a band: Linkin Trailer Park

Japan 🇯🇵 has officially banned Apple’s iOS browser engine restrictions. Starting Dec 2025, iPhones must allow real Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and others to run their own engines, just like on desktop. /1 open-web-advocacy.org/blog/japan-a...

Me: This is a hard escape room. Boss: You're at work.

Game soundtracks are so vastly underrated. Ace Combat was one of my favourite games a decade ago. Fast-forward to 2025, and I find myself coding while listening to its OST! Such a vibe! Sharing this gem with anyone who needs a coding playlist refresher and some flamenco inspired tunes 😄

Say it louder for the people in the back!

One more reason to despise Microsoft and their utter disrespect for their own userbase:

So the more you rely on AI for everything, the less capable you become of doing those things yourself... Shocker!

Picture this: A react hook... Full of useEffects everywhere... With over 1k lines of code... fml 🫠

Web development in 2025 everyone!

People are so sleeping on how great Linux has become, it's quite painful to witness. I remember when Windows basically forced people to use their new outlook version, which served ads on your email list. Ads. On your email client. Because spam and scams are not enough 🤦‍♂️ And people still use it.

SQLite is so awesome, especially for offline first apps. No docker composes, no server overhead.. Just a file! Cross platform, architecture + the most widely used DB in the world. And it's open source! 🤯
