Is there an app that unifies my [other place] and Bsky feeds?

My Christmas gift was a tad late. Now, time to let my hair grow and finally have the metal teenager moment I missed 😂

I'd like to PR a way to define "internal" attributes on Eloquent models that cannot be accessed from outside in favor of richer attributes, e.g returning a "Money" object and blocking amount/currency from being accessed. Any suggestions for a better API?

No doubt that LLMs are a net positive when it comes to productivity, but I think a key element coding tools (e.g “build me this”) miss is the iterative, discovering process. As you build something, you go “oh, maybe this API would be better this way”, or “that component should be split in two”.

i’ve tanked two seasons of HBO’s Industry because I was promised it got better on the 3rd season

ghostty 👍

the new iOS photos app is disgustingly horrible I swear that alone would make me consider switching to Android if I didn’t have other apple devices hopefully they undo it, or allow us to go back to the old one at some point

Writing code that works is the bare minimum. The job is not just about that, but writing code that *is easy to change*. It's a bit frustrating whenever architecture content is deemed as "overengineering"; apps don't have to and shouldn't grow into unmaintainable balls of mud.

whenever a new ai model is released or announced social media becomes a bit anxiety inducing for me. bluesky doesn’t!

This might be a bit of an uncommon take nowadays, but I think using LLMs to learn something from scratch is a bad idea. They’re absolutely fantastic to ask questions to and go deeper in a subject, but compressing pages of documentation into a few responses must warrant some information loss.

A good exercise when building your models is to think “how would this be modeled if there was *no* database?” Of course, IRL, it exists and you’re bound to it and will have to make some concessions. Still, I feel it’s very valuable.

my muscle memory still makes me open the other app and tweet there by mistake

I've been practicing Far Beyond the Sun for 7 months and I can only play the first half so far 😅

My tip to eat clean when dieting is… to just eat clean I feel a massive urge to eat crap (oreos, sushi, burgers, whatever) for 3-4 days, and then it stops and I feel absolutely no special desire to eat anything like that.

For my gym friends, I’m curious: in which situations (if any) do you *refuse* to take turns with someone in an exercise?

I think a major reason I’ve been enjoying this place more than the <<other place>> is there is barely any content about AI. Opening the other app is suffocating. Every 3 tweets there’s a “AGI has been achieved”, “AI just nuked this profession” or something like that 😅

bluesky has won

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends who celebrate it! I hope you and your families have an amazing day. ❤️

just chilling

Since this sort of blew up on <<the other place>>, I recorded a video on it, but I still don’t think it’s the best medium. Would anyone be interested in going over this topic on a podcast? Preferably someone who disagrees with me but has an open mind to the idea :-)

People are using LLMs summarize books. Do you really think you can compress a 300-page book into 2 pages without losing a *bunch* of information? There are people summarizing Dostoyevsky on Reddit, what's even the point 😭

Was really nice to be invited onto @cmorrell.com's podcast to talk about event sourcing and various filthy design practices. open.spotify.com/episode/5bZ3...

i can't believe we used to live without @tailwindcss.com. definitely one of the best things that happened to the web lately

I was not a Nintendo kid but I've been wanting to play Zelda since everyone loves it. Do I need to play the old ones? Or can I start with the ones on the Switch (which I haven't bought yet)?

Big MVC wants us to think the left structure is simpler than the right structure. It's a psyop guys

it’s a good pod

At least I’m listening to 2 of my favorite people! @cmorrell.com @shawnmc.cool

Caffeine + squats + A/C not working in northern Brazil is not a fun combo

I can't recommend Yaz enough. Take this opportunity.

its true

if you’re needing a new youtube black hole experience I really recommend looking into how organs work

CV tip: write more concrete achievements/feats on your job experience. - Contributed to the infrastructure team - Fixed bugs reported by users ... These are not very interesting. They all sound too generic, and they don't really catch anyone's attention or start conversations.

Is there an AI service that helps generate B-rolls? My use case is like... whenever I'm explaining something in a video. e.g I'm talking about relations within a system, and there's a nice animation of boxes and lines show up between them. Something like that.

nothing better than shipping some code listening to OG ne-yo

Who would like to talk maintaining large commercial apps on a podcast?

Is there anyone as good as Jon Lord was?

I find there are very few situations where mocks are actually desired. One of them is sometimes when you need to test infrastructure and the upstream provider does not provide a good way for that. Instead, I much prefer using in-memory fakes — they read much better and are much easier to maintain.

My other app feed has downgraded so much I’m pretty much only using this one. It’s a mix of absolute terrible engineering advice, “AI can copy a SaaS in 24h”, and “As a XXX, what do you do in a sad, rainy sunday evening” 😭

y’all should check this out

i’m already sold on claude/cursor spinning up simple applications in matter of minutes. it’s truly impressive. is there anyone sharing using LLMs to “do the work” in larger, active codebases? i’m curious to see how they integrate it on their workflow

A funny thing I realized while talking to some friends is that I played Pokémon without knowing what the attack names meant, since they were in english. 😂 The last one I played was Pokémon Platinum in 2009 — I was 10 so I prolly still did not know what they meant. 😬
