i made this animation 6 years ago and i think it's pretty cute

Software should be fun, actually

well this is excellent news :))

Lab Day will not be purely filled with talks - but also show live demos, creative experiments, and community projects. A collaborative day that’s part unconference, part showcase, and shaped by the ideas that animate our community. Lab Day is included in your ticket localfirstconf.com

please consider donating to help keep these independent community events going! 🌸✨

free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

i think there's a knitting machine in my future

you're so cute and interesting! come demo at foc this feb 27th foc-london.notion.site/2e4379f0e4cd...

come join us again @feelingof.london for demos and good vibes! 😌💚

London FoC is back! Presented my work on data ethnographies, space + place and mapping, alongside a host of demos exploring HCI classics, malleable software and permacomputing. Lots of lively discussion all around. Thanks @chee.party @todepond.com @mimireyburn.bsky.social for being awesome hosts.

Always a pleasure to hang out with the FoC London crowd, had lots of lovely conversations about this demo and a million other things too. Thanks @chee.party @mimireyburn.bsky.social @todepond.com for hosting, looking forward to the next one!!

It felt unreasonably good saying that Feeling of Computing was sponsored by Feeling of Computing! Thank you @spiralganglion.com @jimmyhmiller.bsky.social Join the patreon at feelingoff.com, join the slack, listen to the podcast, come to the next FoC London 💚

special thanks to @spiralganglion.com @jimmyhmiller.bsky.social and the feelingof.com community for making it possible for there to be pizza and drinks in London yesterday listen the podcast, subscribe to the patreon, join the slack, let's all be friends

Big ups to @mimireyburn.bsky.social, @chee.party and @todepond.com for bringing the Feeling of Computing to the streets of London, England! I think with your help this town could really put itself on the map someday.

it feels good

The London Future of coding meetup came back last night! Now renamed to "the feeling of computing". More context on the name change: feelingof.com/the-name/ I handed over running it to @todepond.com, @mimireyburn.bsky.social, and Chee. They're doing great – same energy and wild demos as always

Animal Crossing should use automerge on shared Slumber Islands

Very happy to announce I’ve officially joined as a researcher @inkandswitch.com to work on malleable software! I’ve also been doing lots of quiet work on @folkjs.org with @chrisshank.com and look forward to sharing more of that soon too!

Brain is buffering thinking about all the crazy exciting things coming in 2026 !! 📈

FoC London returns in January! Come along :)) luma.com/qe8iexzs?tk=...

London 2026 is getting quite exciting..! 📈

the "HOWDY" test proving fruitful as ever

Wish we'd known about this tool from @conradgodfrey.com when we made our last episode of Map Men. Instantly visualise where place names are across Britain. Excellent stuff! (See if you can make it show where the Danelaw is.) conradgodfrey.com/grep_britain/

ultra rare sighting @ isthetubef.uk 🔍

I've curated a new niche of Cursor suggestions and consequently, I would like to propose a new AI benchmark for LLM-driven applications: I dub thee the "HOWDY" test.

for these reasons, isthetubefucked.uk has a new home at ✨ isthetubef.uk ✨ with thanks to @chee.party

In hindsight, I probably should have seen this bug coming 🫠

I’d like to add my “Cursor wrote me some code, which was very functional, but in the opposite way of what I *meant* and it feels pants” to the pile

isthetubefucked.uk is getting a wee glow up

Ink & Switch is hosting another Social in London on Nov. 11th at the Alan Turing Institute. I'll share some early scientific work in Patchwork, & Marcel will give a peek at the Playbook programmable ink system. Also, lightning talks about "surprises in software". RSVP here: luma.com/71g0lhgo

So excited to share that I'm a Researcher-in-Residence @inkandswitch.com! I'll be hanging out with the amazing people there in my free time - can't wait to share what I've been working on 🥳

inspired by the tube strikes in london atm, I started making a thing: isthetubefucked.uk

we're going BIG 🚀

moving out my flat and found this monument to Tech Killed By Google 🥲 #rip

e-ink addiction is getting out of hand, but wow she's gorgeousss

sorry to my flatmates

my mac has developed an 11/10 bug 💪💪💪

I loved Mimi's talk at Future of Coding meetup in London (lu.ma/foclondon), she was so curious, creative and funny 💯 She showed us how she redesigned Apple's Weather app to be more helpful using natural language. You can check out more of her project at github.com/mimireyburn/... ⛈️

Had so much fun meeting people and presenting at FoC on Tuesday (lu.ma/foclondon)! Thanks for organising @anselm.io, @todepond.com and Granola - keen to do more talks about my serious NHS stuff and my seriously silly stuff (DM me <3) also many thanks for the pics i have stolen @sarahd.bsky.social

I want to be able to ❤️ stuff on Github. I want to go DEEP in your repo, appreciate the way you did something and show you that I saw it and love it with a ❤️.

🥲

About to have a great day :))

Made a chrome extension for gpt4o, so I could have an LLM there when I need it! You can install it too 🥰 Post: mimireyburn.com/Posts/Resour... Github: github.com/mimireyburn/...
