Please help me fight the urge to build my own calendar component 🙏🏾😅

Looks like I need new running shoes. What’s the one I should’ve get for the time until the new Pegasus are coming out?

I’m about to start Dan Browns “The Secret of Secrets”, I really hope it’s closer to the first few of the Robert Langdon books.

I've been going for early morning runs (waking up at 5:30am and out at 6am) and while my running hasn't improved, I had a really nice side effect: I can kinda handle the cold better than I did before 🙈 I'll take that as a win!

I’m just going through all Sherlock Holmes books again and it’s crazy to think I’m regularly taking the same Metropolitan line that is mentioned in the books from all these years back 😮

After more than 4 years and having a top 2% streak, my wife and I decided that we won’t renew our Whoop membership anymore. £412/yr are just not worth it

You know what’s painful? A runner’s nipple 🥲

Happy New Year everyone!

Post Christmas Day Breakfast: Panettone and Coffee. Perfect combination.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🏾💫

✍🏾 Publish my probably most personal and reflective Year in Review post rathes.me/blog/en/revi...

Anyone's started writing their Year in Review posts? I think mine this year will be a different one compared to the previous ones. I've started to enjoy writing more about my reflections so this Year in Review post will be going in that directions as well.

Similar to what I did with todos.aheenam.com, I’m really inclined to build a fully stripped down version of Notion. Just for writing and organising it. Not AI stuff, no calendar or email, maybe not even databases

My Bluesky Wrapped. Love my replies to posts ratio 😍 www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

Shipped a small side project: a todo app for solo devs juggling multiple projects. Built it mainly for myself — to code without AI but also to have a simple enough place to manage my side projects (Notion does not work for me) todos.aheenam.com

✍🏾 New post: My social media plan for 2026, or something like that In short, different platforms get different versions of me. And for Bluesky I think this is where the nerdy side lives — technical stuff, side projects, dev thoughts. What I've been sharing so far anyway. rathes.me/blog/en/soci...

After a few months of trying, I’m back to light themes in my terminal and editor by default. If I ever change to dark mode they will automatically adapt but I barely use dark mode 🙈

Curious, is a popover that opens from a dropdown menu item a bad idea from a UX standpoint?

How does our 10 month old already know that he can swipe on a phone display? And we don’t even actively hand him a device. He hasn’t even any screen time yet. 😮😮😮

Even if you think it might be too small or too specific to you we would love to hear it!

Finally feeling a bit better again! Wish you all an amazing week 🙌🏾

October was one of our strongest months this year at Buffer! MRR reached $1.91M (+1.21%), ARR hit $22.9M, and our cash balance grew by $434K to $4.34M. 🔗 Full update: buffer.com/shareholders...

Since joining @buffer.com, I've been more active on social media than I've been in years. The team's energy is infectious, and I found myself posting more on LinkedIn, Threads, BlueSky, and Instagram. But with that came an unexpected challenge.

I used to roll my eyes at the AI hype. When my previous workplace announced “Everyone needs to use AI now,” I felt like following a trend rather than solving problems. Here’s how I went from being sceptical to embracing AI tools: ➡️ rathes.me/blog/en/ai-j...

Two weeks into my new role at @buffer.com and I'm genuinely blown away. After applying 3 times over the years, I finally got in as a Senior Software Engineer. And honestly? It's everything I hoped it would be and more. Here's why 🧵

I need some help from the Laravel makers: I have an almost fresh Laravel 12 application, added Laravel Fortify to it and now want to update the page the user lands on after successful auth. So I updated the 'home' in config/fortify.php and it works after login but ... 🧵

I'm late to realize this but I'm reaching so many people on LinkedIn, would have never thought that. Yes, it also attracts lots of spam but even without, it's a quite useful channel

I’ve improved the website that I created for my little macOS app

Vibe-Coding in a language that you've never learnt is fun until you hit an edge-case that AI just doesn't get. Today @steipete.me and his blog post saved my ass steipete.me/posts/2025/s... macOS has some weird issues 😅

Just published my first macOS app - a menubar tool for checking teammates' time zones! 🎉 Wild part? Fully native SwiftUI despite never writing Swift before. Claude Code helped me learn & ship it. AI can be easily used as a tool for learning new stuff! apps.apple.com/gb/app/offse...

So excited about the journey ahead of me 🤩

It’s harder to get the app published on the App Store than actually developing the app 😅

There was/is an AWS outage? If it wasn’t in the news/socials, I wouldn’t even have noticed. Not working at the moment has its benefits 😂

Coal Drops Yard, London. September 2025

The Eurostar terminal in Amsterdam is soooo much better than the one in London

Remember the MacOS app that I mentioned I was building using AI? I’m actually thinking of getting it published 😅

What follows straight after the baby was ill and is now starting to feel better? Yes, I’m proper ill now myself ☠️

Really cool thing that coding using AI made possible: I was able to build a small native macOS app in just a few hours. All Swift and SwiftUI without ever having been successful ever before

This is how sleep stress levels look like if your little one is ill 🤧 👶 You are basically not sleeping

Anyone here using Claude Code together with XCode? What's a good setup to make developing iOS or MacOS apps with Claude?

The best thing about coding with Claude Code? It doesn't say "I told you so" when you dismiss it's suggestion but end up going back to it 🙈

Recently got a recommendation to try out @meetgranola.bsky.social as a companion to take meeting notes. I don't think I can ever go back to any other tool for this task. www.granola.ai

If you're on LinkedIn, here's the opt-out for LinkedIn's AI bullshit using your content. www.linkedin.com/mypreference...

Like every weekend of every season, I’m sitting here wondering if I’ll watch enough games to justify the price for the NFL Gamepass. And like every season, I’ll keep wondering until it’s too late 🙈 And as a dad it’s even more unlikely that I’ll get to watch many games 😅

Hey @christophrumpel.bsky.social, I remember that you were building a menu bar app to track timezones of your buddies. Is that app available to the public? 🙈

Yesterday night, I published my second blog post this year so far. Another one that’s more personal and thoughtful. About interests, values and vision rathes.me/blog/en/find...

Just installed the new iOS. My eyes are bleeding 🥲

As someone who has never been to the US, I always thought San Francisco would be a large city by population but it’s on 850k there. The whole Bay Area has basically only the population of London 😅

Is there anywhere on this planet a gym where you can also bring your toddler?

Finding time to read has become really rare ever since we’ve got a baby. But trying to finish this book one page at a time
