I just put "Seymour Cray 100th Birthday Party" on my calendar for this weekend, so I've got that going for me

I'm still looking for a couple of great #Laravel devs in Mexico! I'd appreciate any referrals!

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

I should get an electric shock every time I open a new browser window

How big does a donation need to be to deserve a giant novelty check? $1,000? $10,000? $50,000?

Uh kudos to this team Excellent posthog.com

I got tired of looking up the syntax for checking what processes are running on the 3000 port, so I created an alias for it:

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Blue Team Con has a sober board game room with mocktails at the same time as the big party for people who don’t want to be around loud music or alcohol! 🤩 Why doesn’t every con do this?

Dave and I were just trying to explain the American healthcare system to Zuzana and it just doesn't compute. You sound insane trying to describe it

"Embrace the tools you use (even if you don't love them)" My first blog post in over 2 years! It's about a big lesson I've learned working on the Laravel Cloud team and having to use - spoiler alert - React. jasonlbeggs.com/blog/embrace...

🧀⛈️ CHEESE & WEATHER We're back! And chock full of good ideas for @thehanktaylor.com cheeseandweather.com/25

The first big industry event I went to, someone squatted down, looked at my name tag, and straight up walked away because I wasn't important enough. I hid in the corner and muttered to some guy there about how much I hated it and he hated it and we had an amazing time. That guy was Terry Pratchett.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Oh hello 👀

To all the pourover sickos: you won

This remains bonkers. Joe made a bluesky client you access via ssh

Finally installed Jira on my phone and I feel real dirty

Sam's a Professional Explainer and I love this one!

Got to recap the Kilopixel experience with my buds @cmorrell.com and @joe.codes!

Season one of the Kilopixel is over and I wrote about what a weird ride it was: benholmen.com/blog/kilopix...

If you DM your address to @kyledoes.dev he will send you a sweet postcard from his travels!

This is very satisfying to watch

The real fun here is watching Alex try to code for about 15 seconds before the chat derails him, over and over

I scored 13/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media. (@samwho.dev has done it again)

This is now a Lynx fan account

Had a ton of fun with Will talking about @kilopx.com, constraint fueled creativity, and Will's pivot to building physical things!

This concludes season one! The most fun I've ever had on the internet. Thanks y'all! 🤍🖤

Closing down Season One of the Kilopixel rn 🥹 It'll be back in a different format! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R9Z...

Had to represent the Chi for @benholmen.com 's kilopx.com project

For those of you curious how the @kilopx.com sounds, it's pretty quiet! I knew it'd live in my office so I optimized for quiet

All I can say.

Last call: I'm taking the kilopixel offline after it hits 200,000 pixels today! Get your submission into the queue before it's too late: kilopx.com

I applied to adopt the highway next to Bean Island - imagine SPONSORED BY FRIENDS OF BEAN ISLAND on an official road sign - but to my great disappointment they are discontinuing the segment due to "safety reasons" and "it's five miles long" Excuse me DOT, I'm a big boy and I knew what I was doing

This was one of my fav kilopx submissions :)

Alright which one of you got "123456 Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx" into the world?? Discovered by @alexandersix.com

Legendary use case for Claude Code I’ve just heard: “It managed to uninstall all Adobe products from my Mac by telling Claude Code to do this. Toon a bunch of tokens but was worth it.” (Iykyk)

This little glue stick has poked 150,000 pixels 💪🏻
