Anyone using Homey for home automation stuff? I'm getting ready to set up my new house and I'm just curious if I should try Homey or just stick to Home Assistant. More than anything I need good UX to convince my wife to use it. She doesn't like how confusing Home Assistant can be.

Wrapping up the day with something special: last month, I won an award at City Hall for my work with veterans. It means a lot because I was told people here (ATL) care more about winning than how they win. This award proves you can succeed ethically, with integrity, and without cutting corners.

"It's written in Rust" is not a feature of your app. "It's blazing fast" is a hollow claim that makes me doubt it. Please stop putting these things on your homepage. Please show me why your tool/app/whatever makes my work easier/cheaper/faster-to-iterate.

I built an open-source, lightweight calendar scheduler using: @vercel.com @nextjs.org @clerk.com Resend @neondatabase.bsky.social Here's the video, links to the app and source are in the next one. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/GAHHvPOfsow

Here are the annual Brian Holt "who the fuck asked you" Top 15 albums of 2024! 1. Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disc 2. Jamie xx - In Waves 3. IDLES - TANGK 4. Ghostly Kisses - Darkroom 5. St. Vincent - All Born Screaming 6. Justice - Hyperdrama 7. Kendrick Lamar - GNX

Is the Ubiquiti Dream Machine still best set up for a home network? - Good UI/UX is important - 2Gbps Internet - Cat 6 in the walls - Need PoE for cameras - I'm too dumb to run EdgeRouter. I did for years and hated it - I do have WiFi 7 devices and two spots to ceiling mount APs - Lots of devices

I texted @brianholt.me about this the other day, saying I should do it (I don’t really have time) and he said “This is the Drasner version of ‘I should buy a boat’”

This was so fun. It was such a fun day being silly with @jason.energy @zeu.dev and @badcop.live. And I got to make a tiny pomerian that shits all over your code. youtu.be/pn5Jju4FNG4?...

loved the replit demo on lenny's podcast i've been playing with their agent quite a bit lately and it's amazing ✨ check out how fast the Postgres database was created... ⚡

NeonAPI is the new Python SDK for Neon https://buff.ly/4eIiLRS

If you’re at Microsoft Ignite, come find me at the neon.tech booth starting in 15 mins! (10:30AM Central). I have Neon key caps and chargers!

I was just reminded by @brianholt.me that `418 I'm a teapot` is a perfectly reasonable status code to return developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

SQL from the frontend? I mean, you kinda can now, and Neon Authorize makes it pretty easy to get going with. Give Gomes' post a read and give me your spiciest take on it. neon.tech/blog/sql-fro...

This new Imogen Heap is very much my vibe this morning. Best track from her since Hide & Seek open.spotify.com/track/17R2aa...

Oh man, htmx is kinda fun.

Thought a starter pack of CSS-Tricks authors would be a fun way to find folks. go.bsky.app/SNVx5Wc

Goodbye Minneapolis. It was fun to be temporarily Minnesotan. Lovely place with lovely people. Next stop: Huntington Beach for a month. 🏝️

I created a Bluesky Starter Pack! 🎉 It includes ~75 wonderful people in the web dev community who are doing inspiring work. I know I’ve missed some folks; I plan on adding to it over time. Starter packs are such a great idea. Immediately makes Bluesky feel less lonely for newcomers. 😄

Advantages of having a similarly named manager: easy meeting invites

My time as a midwesterner is drawing to a close. Very much enjoyed my time in Minneapolis, definitely see the appeal. Excited for our next stop in our temporarily-without-a-home tour: on the beach in Huntington Beach. 🏖️

Is there a Bluesky social icon yet?

Made it out to camp a little bit at Orcas Island this weekend. Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely would love to go back.

lmao RIP Google Domains https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/16/23763340/google-domains-sunset-sell-squarespace

Officially half done with my MBA. Hard to believe I’ve been at this for a year. 😓

Should I stick with @brianholt.me or should I switch to @bria.nho.lt? I tried to switch my email to [email protected] but it was such a pain to have to explain it over and over and over again, hence why I switched to using brianholt.me

TIL you can do https://codespaces.new/OWNER/REPO-NAME

Seeing a bucket list band tonight, M83. Pumped

Getting some kid-free time in Napa Valley with Pat Higgins and Dylan Hulser. Anyone got spare invites for my friends?

Happy birthday @noopkat.fragile.systems!!!

Do you know how often I reference my own course materials? It's absurd. I am my own student.

Probably the end of my season snowboarding. First season back in some years but happy to pick back up the habit. Nabbed a new snowboard too and looking forward to next season. (This was about 1/3 of the days I went. I started using Slopes partway through the season)

Hardest part of being on Bluesky is deciding which domain to use as your handle.

Enjoying being here. Once you hit some critical threshold of followers on Twitter the platform becomes so much less fun. Every tweet has to be so generic so as not to have trillion follow ups on you not catching every nuance in 280 characters. It’s why I don’t tweet much anymore.
