It's December 1st, which means that throughout the entire month you should reserve 5-10 minutes every day to read a fantastic article about HTML. ❤️‍🔥 Check out what's hidden behind the first door. htmhell.dev/adventcalendar

Sometimes a cup of tea just hits different

I don’t know howwww people are vibe coding without knowing how to _actually_ code My workflow has been: Claude helps me a little Claude regresses I help Claude Claude tells me I was right all along I close Claude I do the rest myself

@figma.com is better than any other design tool. It's so good and you don't realise until you're working with another design tool.

For those that can afford it (or their companies), the Django software foundation is looking for donations for 2026. Happy birthday Django!

At SIGNAL London today and I'm helping out with Twilio's Builder Arcade. Each game shows off what you can do with Twilio's AI 🎮 Playing video games for work isn't a bad life!

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

“I’m not saying it is simple. I’m saying it is possible” @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I hope these are words I live by

I joined Twilio's developer advocacy team last week. It's been lovely so far.

This post from @pedramnavid.com is well worth a read for DevRel folks. I particularly like: > Undifferentiated content might as well be no content.

Want to turn your dev work into great content? As you build, make commits that capture meaningful steps. Write messages that describe what changed and why. When you’re done, your commit history will serve as an outline for a tutorial or blog post.

Me after writing code without AI help

This repo from @jpt.sh saved me a lot of time implementing honeypot fields in Django. It's simple to implement and works really well. codeberg.org/jpt/django-h...

AI did the CSS for my most recent greenfield project while I was working on the backend. It was purple.

I absolutely love @posthog.com's website. It's bold. I'm not sure it will have a good impact on UX. But by god do I love it! posthog.com

Wrote up my initial impressions of the brand new Claude Sonnet 4.5 - I think it may live up to Anthropic's claims of being the "best coding model in the world", for the next few weeks at least! simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/...

I shared a few more notes here, including this hopefully reassuring note for anyone afraid of the impact this will have on their career as a programmer simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/...

Learning new tech stacks is hard and struggling to learn them doesn’t make you an idiot. Perseverance is key. You’ll get multiple “aha” moments

Is the rise in AI, in part, a response to how unusable the average website is for quick questions?

Javascript programmers be like );

@owasplondon.bsky.social had a talk tonight on dev driven threat modelling. Good talk but the pushback was “don’t devs already have enough on their plates”

With their upgraded album: Sound of Gold

i feel pessimistic about creating educational content, i wonder if i've pilled myself into believing something that isn't true... it *feels* like there's less market for that, like there's a broad movement "against" learning and in favor of quick solutions and llm-will-do-it. idk if i even disagree

"In this tutorial, we're going to show you..." I have read and written this line sooooo many times

Something interesting about our SaaS: User activation rates from generative AI signups are about 50% lower compared to those from traditional search signups.

I love programming videos like this from CodeAesthetic youtu.be/hxGOiiR9ZKg?...

Listening to @profgalloway.com talk about how he donates and gives away money has made my evening. We need more role models like this. open.spotify.com/episode/1haU...

I'd get the iPhone Air hoping it stops wearing phone-shapes in my jeans. I'm also still using my iPhone 13 mini and wish Apple would bring back smaller phones instead of abandoning the mini line completely. I understand I'm in the minority though.

But how else will I get a t-shirt with 30 seconds of coding?

I'm following one poor soul who has the same error as me from Stack Overflow to GitHub to the Docker forums. No answers anywhere. I'm doomed!

Old but gold from @swyx.io. It's essential reading for developer advocates. www.swyx.io/measuring-de...

Hello there, I’m Ryan! 👋 I’m a Developer Advocate, Web Developer, and startup enthusiast. Here, I share thoughts and things from all three worlds. Follow me if you're into that kind of thing. Or don't, you're your own person. 🤷 Also, if you're interested, here's my website: codingwithryan.com

Met two devs yesterday who just finished uni. Both have cool projects under their belt. One even has a SaaS product which has paying users. Neither can get interviews for junior roles after a lot of applications. It’s anecdotal but it’s more evidence of how tough it is out there.

fucked that "vibe coding" now means something besides getting sorta high and blasting music and boppin' along while writin' c++ or whatever

I feel this in my bones. It’s fun understanding how something is built and then building on top of it. AI being a black box that spits out code which people aren’t bothering to understand feels so alien. No shade to people trying to get stuff done, but it’s not why I love tech.

This is a very cool idea and a great way for people to try out rails without installing anything.

This has been getting me through writing Postgres queries today youtu.be/Y3_PIWalInY?...

The S in MCP stands for security

I am once again in awe of DBAs

I get that AI can be useful but does every app need to be AI?

Had a call with a user of my SaaS template earlier today. Some useful feedback but, more than anything, it was great to talk to someone who is building on top of something I built. github.com/anvil-works/...

Say what you want about AI but it's great for regex

You’ve spent countless hours building a software development tool, open source project or an API and it’s time to write a tutorial for users. ✍ Good tutorials increase user engagement, user retention and reduce support queries. So, what makes a successful tutorial? medium.com/@codingwithr...

This is such a lovely post on the @anvil.works forum - everyone helping each other and sharing knowledge. The community really is one of my favourite parts of working at Anvil. anvil.works/forum/t/how-...
