Loved this #leetheat episode! The musicality, the suspense, the Ketchup method! @georgerodier.com and @notwoods.bsky.social were fantastic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXU2...

Fun times CGI-ing fingers back in that were just out of frame

I helped make a film! Worked on editing and acting with the NYC Short Film Club. youtu.be/YDYq3RhS-sM

The M4 iPad Pro is so good I can edit a 6K short film with no proxies or lag. It blows away my 5 year old desktop PC

My DIY project the last couple weeks has been building a giant 4’x6’ frame for a wood world map. I got hardboard wood sheets and moulding and cut, painted, and mounted all by hand :)

After losing my scissors too many times I’ve created my best invention yet

Man’s blood veins turn into butter

I took my birding camera to the #Severance Grand Central popup and took some desk photos

I don’t know how to teach devs to google things anymore. Most of the results are for SEO-optimized walls of text instead of solutions. You can point folks to official documentation, but that doesn’t help when the source of the problem is unclear. Maybe only use Stack Overflow?

Today is my last day working at Microsoft. I got to work on lots of web performance and mentorship here over 3+ years! Off to new things in New York starting next month.

Back in Seattle…for the last time. I’m moving to NYC next month!

I’m very excited that `createSubscriber` was added to @svelte.dev, it covers the one use case that was keeping me on stores instead of runes. 🥳 Now it’s much easier to convert an observable into a rune! svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...

New blog post: Here’s my @storybook.js.org Test Runner config for reducing flakiness in screenshot tests (no Chromatic needed). tigeroakes.com/posts/storyb...

I’m looking for a good mobile photo/video/code editing machine and currently looking at the iPad Pro, Surface Pro 11, and MacBook Air. Anyone have opinions on these? - Run Affinity suite, Davinci Resolve, VSCode - Want easy plane use - Doesn’t have to work offline (but nice)

@notwoods.bsky.social and @thebetterdaphne.bsky.social How to automate your murder mystery: immersive games in your home talk in JsConfJP 🇯🇵 was amazing! 🤩

We’ve landed in Tokyo for JSConf JP, the last stop on our conference tour!

✈️ Landed in New York yesterday for #JSNationUS and #ReactSummitUS!

Of course the important question is not "whodunnit" but "howdidjawritetheapp". I may seem suspect, but it weren't me guv!

Put a GPT on it! (with @thebetterdaphne.bsky.social and @nearestnabors.com)

✈️ Flying to London tonight for HalfStack Conf, let me know if anyone wants to meet up next week!

Been busy but got to make my Twitter account private today. Nearly everyone I’ve ever DM’d is here now so that’s one final use case I can throw out 🗑️🚮

thumbor-es is now on both NPM and JSR! It's a modern API to generate #Thumbor URLs, for image manipulation using an open source tool. www.npmjs.com/package/thum...

Flying first class for the first time today ✈️

#NodeJS users, it it fairly clear what this server code does? My main concern is that I’m using fetch classes in this slide instead of something like express or http.IncomingMessage.

Daphne captioned this as “surprised face with pants”

Lots of moving around for weddings, conferences, and honeymoon!

Going to 3 different conferences in 3 different continents over 2 weeks next month! Very excited but also dreading the jet lag

This week I'm learning how to create a VSCode language plugin for the `_headers` file in Netlify/Cloudflare Pages. Hoping to publish it soon! github.com/NotWoods/vsc...

After switching from Android to iOS last year I noticed all new indie apps just target iOS. This is a pretty clear list of reasons why: ia.net/topics/our-a...

Thanks #AstroJS for including my notion-astro-loader package in the Astro 5.0 beta release notes! 🤩

Did you know rimraf is built-in to Node.js? I wrote a tiny CLI wrapper for it but you can also just use `node -e`. It's 1/10th the size of rimraf! npx crossrm ./path www.npmjs.com/package/cros...

Writing React feels like navigating a minefield of deoptimizations, and writing in a large team feels like walking through a blown up minefield

In Amsterdam last week I ended up playing TWO escape rooms and they were both the best I’ve seen in my life! Europe rooms just hit different with way more intricate mechanisms, like running through a parking lot and stairs unwinding from the wall.

Is it a bicycle or corn?

I wish there was an easy way to check if you know anyone in spots you’re traveling to. Didn’t realize how much I used Twitter’s location field when more people were there.

Today I learned Vite is French for fast, just like “wiki” is Hawaiian for fast. There’s an alternative timeline where we research on Vitepedia and use Wiki for web development.

Do you want to be a React bad boy?

I learned you can avoid forced synchronous layout by reading in the ResizeObserver callback!

New blog post! Tips and tricks for Microsoft's Fluent UI design system in React. Fluent UI has a few patterns I think other React libraries should adopt, like "slots" as a shortcut to pass className and props to different child elements. tigeroakes.com/posts/fluent...

Pulled the trigger and bought an ebike!

#SvelteKit has so many quality of life features now. It can handle env variables for you and restrict some to be server only, while inlining the client only variables. kit.svelte.dev/docs/server-...

I'll be in London the first week of January, any mutuals want to meet up?
