In our modern world efficiency trumps creativity, making our urban landscapes soullessly generic. Just look where tourists go, where they take their photos, and that tells you everything you need to know about what most people find interesting or beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWYx...

Turning AI chaos into real dev wins. Here’s how we built the AI Productivity Guild and scaled knowledge across Showpad. medium.com/showpad-engi...

Really interesting idea of not always avoiding "clever code." There are many occasions when choosing a more complex alternative can be beneficial.

Great read! Building News Agents for Daily News Recaps with MCP, Q, and tmux eugeneyan.com/writing/news...

This blog post by @simonwillison.net is exceptionally informative, detailing his utilization of LLMs to help in code writing.

I’ve always used Apple’s Health app to remind me to take my medication. Now, I need to do physiotherapy exercises three times a day, but the app doesn’t allow me to set reminders or track them. 🙁

Damn, Raycast just sherlocked Hyperkey and Karabiner. I'm glad I no longer need a separate app for Raycast functionality. Keep shipping great stuff! :)

Just had a merchant trying to convince me to pay cash, because electronic transactions store data and that’s bad for the environment 🙃

I had a fantastic time at Showpad’s AI Innovation Hackathon! It kicked off with an AI advancements overview, followed by coding sessions, lightning talks, and fun gaming activities like racing a beam robot through the office, Mario Kart, and FIFA. We wrapped up with impressive demos.

According to our GitHub Copilot stats, we have a Neovim user among us. But here's the twist: we have absolutely no idea who it is. Somehow that person is NOT talking about using Neovim.

What are the traits and skills that make up a "strong" engineer? 💭 Sean Goedecke, Staff Software Engineer at @github.com believes it boils down to four things: self-belief, pragmatism, speed, and technical ability. Read the full blog and highlights below: www.seangoedecke.com/what-makes-s...

The blog posts from Nikhil Suresh are often lengthy, but they are so interesting and worth the time to read. “Brainwash an Executive Today” is another excellent post filled with relatable situations. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/brainwa...

Product idea for Slack: an automatic “change tone” (to friendly yet professional) on message before sending them. That way I won’t have to copy paste al my messages to an LLM before sending them

If you want to learn WebAssembly in 2025, this is the course you are looking for 👇

Not how I expected to end my first working day of 2025, but I wrote some AngularJS proof of concept to show how we could easily work around a bug we have in the legacy part of our codebase.

The amount of times I double press the camera button instead of the power button to open Apple Pay on my iPhone is ridiculous. I constantly need to clean my camera roll 😅

Advent of Code 2024 (adventofcode.com) has started. Just a reminder that @ferrycolum.bsky.social created this nice ts-oac-starter that scaffolds out all days with input and result files: github.com/nrwl/ts-aoc-...

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

Not sure who to follow? Bluesky members have created over 9000 starter packs for you to choose from! blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs

Nice read on downsides of using tools like Copilot and the value of maintaining and refining our coding skills.

Can’t wait for @raycast.com for iOS so I can add it to my iPhone Action Button

Surprised that we still cannot create a reminder straight from iMessage on iOS or MacOS. Aren’t other people missing this flow?

If you're in the Angular ecosystem I've got a starter pack for you to follow. Reply or DM me if you want to be added! 🅰️ go.bsky.app/hLveAd

I very much share this sentiment on quality software deserving hard-earned cash as @stephanango.com wrote here stephango.com/quality-soft.... I've felt the same way for a long time but had never been able to word it so nicely as he did in this post.

Also, this one for the JavaScript go.bsky.app/6jDsWb5

Gitlab's lazy loading of changed files in merge requests is so depressing. You think you're almost of the end of a review ... but no, here's a new chunk of files 🥲

Hier wordt *veel* te weinig over geschreven in onze pers. (zoals steeds een uitzondering voor PJ bij DataNews - datanews.knack.be/nieuws/belgi...) Ik denk dat we afgeleid zijn door het gecrashte CSAM-voorstel. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
