Sometimes, I think it's not worth it to keep writing this draft. I'm just way too harsh to Python, and it probably doesn't deserve it. --- #programming #python

Updating to the latest version of #macOS Sequoia (15.7.1) rendered my favorite keyboard useless. It's one of the longish USB keyboards that came with iMacs around 2010-2011. I never got along with the slimmer versions. Why would it even stop working? It's a […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Believe it or not, but my faithful #Mac 's disk is almost empty. That's what you get when you work on a gazillion software projects all at once. This is where I found a tool called GrandPerspective super helpful. It helped me create a tree map of my Projects […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@preslavrachev/115434094964652016 Aaand, it was gone, before I could even say “Start!” Thanks to the one who bought it from me. I hope, it makes you productive, and you find more use out of it than I did.

If you are in Germany (EU shipping is also an option), you can consider buying the #Supernote Nomad A6x2, I bought back in September. I had to acknowledge that the device just isn't for me, but can perfectly suit anyone else. At the price of EUR 350 for the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Now is another great moment to ponder if making your business rely on Amazon is a great idea.

I wasn't planning on shamelessly self-promoting the book draft I’m working on in my spare time, but the #AWS outage gave me no choice. The opportunity simply presented itself :) P.S. drop your email here, so I can get back to you, if this thing ever sees the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

gomjml’s long-awaited v0.10.0 release is out: https://github.com/preslavrachev/gomjml/releases/tag/v0.10.0 🎉 Out with MRML ❌, in with full compliance with the original MJML spec ✅ If you have a Go project that sends a lot of emails, and you don't want to spend a lifetime perfecting them, I […]

After the first few “big-bang” releases of `gomjml`, I've been keeping the work on the quiet side, but the truth is, it's till going on, and a major one is just one around the corner. Along the way, I realized my critical mistake, which should have been obvious in hindsight. I should have […]

In case anyone is wondering how to install Android APK bundles (.apkm) on a Supernote, you can easily do it using an auxiliary app called APK Mirror Installer. First, you sideload the Installer, then you can simply drop .apk or .apkm files in the INBOX folder […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@preslavrachev/115387551731966590 OK, it's time to surprise everyone. It's not the #remarkable. The RM2 is actually a very solid and polished product. Kind of like old Apple ones — It does little, but does not overpromise. The main reason I had to sell it, was […]

Contrary to people's overall fascination with the #supernote, I found out that buying it was a big mistake (for me, personally). I am returning it. As someone who owned a #remarkable 2 and loved it, I am well aware of what these devices can and cannot do. I just expected far more from the SN.

It's one of those days: https://github.com/preslavrachev/gomjml/pull/25 --- #programming #mjml #golang

I joined the LUT crowd. My first-ever LUT is up for sale! If you end up paying the $1.99, catch up with me to explain to you how I built it. It's a pretty interesting scientific approach, analyzing old Lomo scans. https://p5v.gumroad.com/l/wild-pastel-lut --- #photography #lut #lomo

Happy to see, I've once again made it to the Golang Weekly. This time, with gomjml: https://www.golangweekly.com/issues/566 #programming #golang

Added a new release of gomjml that adds significant performance improvements via opt-in template caching: https://github.com/preslavrachev/gomjml/releases/tag/v0.5.0 #golang #mjml

I am happy to announce that gomjml now has feature parity with the reference MJML compiler, and can be (carefully) used in other projects. From now oon the roadmap to 1.0 will focus solely on testing, validation, and performnce improvements https://preslav.me/2025/08/12/introducing-gomjml/ […]

YES. This is what sane systems should do! You declare what you want, and the computer figures out the rest reliably. No need to ship a JSON graveyard of frozen hashes around. https://tonsky.me/blog/lockfiles/ #programming

I mean, there is an official MJML JS compiler? Why did you need another version of it? Just call it from your Go app. Like, how slow can it be? Very, very, very .... slow Which is one of the reasons I created gomjml: https://github.com/preslavrachev/gomjml #golang #mjml

The one unintended takeaway I got from this article is that #homeschooling is so boring and anti-social that people become math geniuses and run away to Academia, to get formal schooling and socialize: https://www.quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah-cairo-solved-a-major-math-mystery-20250801/

This morning, I open-sourced a project that Claude Code and I have been secretly working on for the past few weeks. Presenting gomjml, a native Go compiler for the MJML email templating language 📧🚀 Some GitHub ⭐️ are more than welcome! https://github.com/preslavrachev/gomjml --- #golang […]

Check this out, my new blog post appeared in my own @feedle email digest! Have you tried those out already? You should!

Claude Code has been a hit-and-miss for me lately. Yeah, it can get you to the 80% in 2 hours, but the remaining 20% will bring frustration and burned tokens (a.k.a $$$). I found a solution that works for me, maybe it will for you, too — slowing the process down using hooks […]

Ozzy was one of those rare individuals, who could put up with a ton of 💩 in their lives, and still make it to a relatively old age. RIP, man 🤘You'll be remembered! #ozzyosbourne

I want to be more mindful of my Claude Code usage throughout the day. So, I've put together a quick toolbar app thanks xbar and a Claude utill called ccusage. If anyone's interested, I will write a short blog post these days. P.S. Using Claude Pro, you […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Protip: For all of you vibe coders out there using macOS, you can ask Claude Code to send you a notification when it's finished implementing the task you asked it to do. --- #vibecoding #claudecode #macos

One of the things I love about Obsidian is that you have total control over how things are styled. Don't like the default way HTML comments are rendered? No problem — a tiny bit of custom CSS will fix that. Now we have nicely styled inline comments that will […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

One of the great things about the US being seven hours away from Europe, is that when some spectacular 💩 happens or gets announced overseas, I don't have to have to sit around and wait for it to unfold. I get to deal with it after I wake up.
