Exception that proves the rule: poop

i think we should learn a lesson from my favorite childhood “pasta” and go with AtprotO

Separation of concerns is architecture theatre

🔴 Live Can social media exist without being owned by big companies? The community behind ATProto believes social media should be about people, not specific apps. @zeu.dev gives us an intro to building apps for the atmosphere. Watch Live:

As a connoisseur of online color tools, it’s such a delight to discover a new funky take on the palette generator experience. I love the Teenage Engineering / Dieter Rams aesthetic here colorpalette.pro

👋 my recent contracts have ended (and my buffer’s running a bit thin) so I’m looking for what’s next spent the last year focused on OSS work, which I’ve loved, and now open to new opportunities! if you’re looking for a dev, pls to reach out! I've shared more about how I work below 🫡

The funnier one to me is sports gambling websites adding prediction markets Same app Same outcome But if you click this button you’re “predicting” and it’s unregulated and totally legal for teens Click this other button and you’re “betting” and it’s TOTALLY DIFFERENT

When vibe coding something from scratch, the first approach / implementation one (typically) sees is what the LLM came up with Now their own architectural imagination has been context poisoned by the machine

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

Normalising taking breaks from time to time is the healthy behaviour I wasn’t expecting from a project that just exploded in popularity. Maybe this is the takeaway: in an ever-accelerating world, it’s absolutely ok to pause. It’s necessary.

also: if you want to be on Web Dev Challenge, there’s a casting call! codetv.link/wdc/casting-call also please nominate great devs that haven’t been on the show. it’s important to me that the show includes real representation of industry devs in addition to bringing on recognizable community folks

There's dream jobs, and then there's Dream Jobs™ — thank you to everyone who's supported us through two whole seasons of Web Dev Challenge (and season 3 premieres in March!)

atproto is part of the web. we just haven't had time to standardize it yet. atproto should feel like any other web feature, don't talk about it with your non-dev friends, just use it where it makes sense. humans are social beings, so you'll probably end up using it on every website :)

This post was shared in a friend's Discord and I can't stop thinking about it; it mirrors the same excitement/exhaustion cycle I've been experiencing personally steve-yegge.medium.com/the-ai-vampi...

> which essentially wrap one or more APIs to provide an abstraction I hear you, and agree with the point, but isn’t the above literally the definition of any abstraction?

Oh have I got the thread for you…

Reply to this if you’re not an LLM Unrelated note: penny.hailey.at seems nice

I like how the AI discourse hype cycle has largely been driven by coming up with new fancy names for “a lot of prompts”

I just realized that posting here means I finally have to update my embarrassing ass website 😳

OK, I’ve heard that AI sentiment is vastly different here than on that other platform. I’m super curious to hear from y’all, please so respond with your most measured and reasonable (or deranged and psychotic) LLM take!

This is extremely @xgigglypuff.bsky.social coded

What’s up BlueSky?

After 2+ years, it's finally time to announce @TanStack.com Form v1! ✅ Type Safe 🚀 Framework Agnostic 🎭 Headless 🔄 Isomorphic 🛡️ Advanced Validation 📜 Standard Schema ➕ More!

BIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev

2025 lookin up!

Trying to learn to code in 2025? This is part 2 of a 2-part series we did on "The Programming Podcast" that lays it all out for you! If I were starting TODAY, this is what I would need and WANT to hear to grow as a developer in this industry. REAL INFO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwF6...

Untitled When haters deny HTML’s status as a programming language, they’re showing they don’t understand what a language really is. Language is not instructing an interlocutor what to do in a way that leaves no room for other interpretations; it is better and richer than that. Tim Carmody, HTML Is…

Anxiety’s really stupid It’s like, “hey there’s this thing where if you worry too much it’ll damage your immune system and sleep quality and basically ruin your life… so if you’re feeling sick or can’t sleep DON’T WORRY! 😅”

Pro-tip: if you catch the stomach flu going around the US right now DO NOT take CHERRY FLAVORED NyQuil If you do, then when you inevitably vomit for the 6th time in 12hrs you won’t be able to tell how much is NyQuil and how much is blood from your esophageal lining

Happy Sunday! I’m going to take time today to reset and learn something new. What are your favorite Sunday habits?

👋 I'm Aaron. Laravel developer, database educator, conference speaker, YouTuber, and dad to two sets (!!) of twins! I'm the cofounder of Try Hard Studios. We make videos that developers want to watch. Here are some things we've made recently 👇

changing someone's mind is very hard, near impossible but if you want any shot at doing it, you need to first be able to represent their side better than they can feels like the world is really missing that right now

HEY EVERYBODY DAVE IS HERE AND HE’S AWESOME PLEASE FOLLOW!!

So much this. Bluesky loves links. As @hankgreen.bsky.social says "people click on stuff and they leave the site, they leave! and they read articles!". I love how excited we all are about the open web. Our timeline is healing. Click on the video, and enjoy it on hankschannel! youtu.be/D4ghgVq9z4M

my only regret is that i won't be able to flex on y'all bc @trash.supplies doesn't trust me not to cheat ps day 1 is open go do it!

HEY EVERYONE AARON IS HERE!!

Maybe I’m late to the starter pack hype, but here’s mine 👀 🌟 Chill Creator Starter Pack: ✔️ You build cool stuff for the love of it ✔️ Authenticity > trends ✔️ Your own rules, your own path 🚀 Sound like you? Drop what you’re building - let’s create greatness together 💪 go.bsky.app/MLm1ndb

🏠 I’m having an Open House! This has become a bit of a tradition for me. Every Black Friday, I select a couple of lessons from my courses and make them public for a few days. This way, potential students can test-drive the content and see if it’s a good fit for them! The doors have just opened. 😄

Good guy Josh!! I love interactions like this on social media and this place is awesome because it feels like these vibes are much more accessible, similar to 2010s tech twitter

Meta-informative posting!

The reason other social networks don’t promote links is because they can sell more ads in a captive network Bluesky not suppressing links is an indicator that ads won’t be a major source of revenue

Today was a kinda fresh day for me given the past year… Feeling optimistic and grateful. Gn y’all!

We have 6% of the followers here compared to the 100k in X. The vite 6.0 announcement in bluesky already got half the reposts and a third of the likes. And most of the comments and quotes from OSS maintainers happened here. I don't know about other communities, but OSS web dev is a bluesky game now.

Someone wants to hear you speak www.softwareascraft.com/posts/someon...

I think I’d like to be a “man of the mid”

Weird to engage twice in a back and forth and then block (after having the last word and with nothing hostile in the exchange) Shows that you picked a specific point of discourse to defy understanding / empathy Very clearly denotes a lack of charitability IMHO

I would like to start working again so if anyone is hiring, I could use a little miracle here. 😭
