Tailwind has laid off 75% of their employees, allegedly due to AI's impact on the business. Brutal github.com/tailwindlabs...

Damn even Node.js is out here looking for a referral 😅 Must be rough out there ya'll

I was working on a prompt for agent backlog tickets, and I was writing something about prioritizing readability / clarity over clever code so it's easier for future devs to follow. Then I realized I might be the last human to ever read this code. I sat and thought on that for a while.

Man this cut like a knife. Perfectly put into words the dichotomy I've felt with AI coding. Anyone else?

Yesterday, my Father in law had a massive stroke and now my wife is on a plane to see him. I've got the kids on my own this weekend and my youngest is having flu symptoms. I think about this old Chinese parable often, and it seems especially relevant right now.

A literal n*zi salute on TV wasn't enough, now his bot is complicit in CP. If you're still active on that platform, you're either complicit or a coward. www.commondreams.org/news/elon-mu...

I am not paid by @fastmail.com but I just feel like I need to shout from the rooftops about how great this email service is. It's simple. It gets out of the way. It has *excellent* dev tooling It Just Works™ If you wanna try it *and* hook me up, use this link: join.fastmail.com/c71cc1a6

Look at these tickets I scored for NYE!!

A Zen quote I recently came across: What do you do before enlightenment? Chop wood, carry water. What do you do after enlightenment? Chop wood, carry water.

When someone asks me if my project cars are running yet

I noticed there wasn't a fully featured PHP SDK for Listmonk, at least one with decent tests, good static analysis, etc.. So, I built one! Another one to scratch my own itch as a build a Statamic <> Listmonk integration. docs.dynamik.dev/listmonk-php/

In the fascinating new reality of the internet, teen girls can’t learn about periods on Reddit, but a military contractor will make you nonconsensual deepfakes of Taylor Swift taking her top off for $30 a month. Read more from @thedextriarchy.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/internet-cen...

That's it. I'm opening a welding / fabrication business. I'm out.

Christmas haul 💪

Turns out I have influenza (flu) type A. I guess I wasn’t being too dramatic after all. Yall this might be the most sick I have ever been. Trying to type this through the nyquiil kicking in

I’m a grown man with a cold. Please send the medevac 🚁🚑

Docs for my minimal PHP framework are up! I was really inspired by Hono & wanted a similar experience in PHP. But, I didn't really like the existing options so I made my own. The idea is there's 4 primitives: - Container - Router - Middleware - Events & the rest is composition verge.dynamik.dev

Shipped a couple more features of my micro php framework called Verge: native driver pattern support & event system. Designing a pleasant DX experience is really hard. Who knew?

Felt cute and built a Hono X Lumen crossover framework called Verge that uses 72% less memory. I wanted a no-magic memory efficient php equivalent to Hono. Next up is to open the repo & publish the docs!

A rule of thumb I'm learning when writing docs: Titles should be tasks, not nouns.

Ok.. I get it now. effect.website

After cranking out a bunch of ideas and internal tools at work, I’m now on a project with visibility from our CEO 🫠🥲

Me in every retro ever

This was a fun little build. A chome extension with rrweb + Mastra AI agents to generate documentation from your activity in the browser 🤠

Just finished Between Two Fires. Easily the most metal book I’ve ever read. Damn. 5/5. #booksky

At this point in my career, I am thoroughly convinced that testing, developer experience, lifecycle speed, and competitive edge all come down to one metric: Ephemeral application state.

Just kidding, I've shipped a new release that allows for bi-directional PSR-15 middleware: github.com/dynamik-dev/...

A while back I open sourced a PHP utility that I used a lot over the years. It was a fluent way to build pipes in PHP. With the pipe operator coming native to PHP 8.5 I have never been happier to archive a project. (Though I am proud of this package ❤️)

I've been diving deep into AI agent builder platforms and feel yucky for how much fun I'm having. As a tree, I am sure enjoying swinging the axe 🌲🪓

I just saw the biggest shooting star I have ever seen in my life. Wow.

Cloak PHP package is coming along nicely! Making it more compositional / extendable. Next I need to update the Laravel adapter package, then working on a separate NER detector package, so if your runtime has Python, you can run some context-aware models for better detection accuracy.

Docs for my new Cloak package are done! Examples of how to cloak custom strings, custom storage drivers and more :) docs.dynamik.dev/cloak-php/

shipped! just gotta tag and publish. github.com/dynamik-dev/...

Would this be of use to anyone? If you're using a public AI and need to prevent PII or other info from leaking into the convo, this is something I'm hacking on to scratch my own itch.

I took Google's Antigravity for a test drive yesterday. ..kinda mid, right? Or is it just me?

If you don’t get electrocuted by a circular saw are you even DIYing? 🫠😮‍💨

Someone land this so you can live out my dream <3

I'm not sure what is more insane, the President calling for the execution of lawmakers or the fact that not a single mainstream outlet is reporting this at all. Complete silence.

The left has a problem with political violence. Anyway, here’s the President of the United States saying his political opponents should be executed.

Project “Mom’s Miata” runs!

For how much you can build for $0 I still stan Cloudflare.

Designing & printing my own custom tool holders is probably what I would do if I won the lottery. 3 of my latest pieces.

I think I’m done with the DNC.

Almost done with my first base cabinet shell. 3 more to go! TIG Welding, now cabinet making, just hedging my bets against AI 😅 Also, brad nailers are magic and I won’t be convinced otherwise. Just tacked it in place and drove cabinet screws in.

Buying tools and completing projects are totally different hobbies.

A friend of mine drops his kids off at synagogue Sunday school every week. Then he and his wife skip the service and do w/e they want for a couple hours. A free baby sitter every week. Kinda baller if I'm honest 😅

It's just a game.. It's just a game.. scope-creep.xyz
