In addition to being a software engineer I've been a musician and guitar teacher for 15+ years. I'm growing my lessons business into an online music school and we're launching our first offering with one of my fav teachers: "Write a song using music theory" lightninglessons.com/classes/writ...

Long COVID has me building a decentralized clinical trial platform with ex-Microsoft friends who write code better than I breathe. What we need now is experience. Any clinical trialists (or those who know them) willing to spare 30 minutes to help us get it right? DM/email me!

“#LongCovid pts showed significantly more dilated capillaries, microhaemorrhages, abnormal shapes than healthy matched control subjects and of note, lower mean capillary number per linear millimetre.” Study: rmdopen.bmj.com/content/11/2...

Incredibly exciting diagnostic tool potential — @immunofever.bsky.social MIT team is doing nailfold capillaroscopies on #LongCovid patients before and after a NASA lean test, and said the results have been incredibly striking compared to controls. My results were very abnormal !

My react-data-fetching demos have been updated! I have now built the same app 22 times for my workshop where I teach different data loading patterns in React Router, TanStack Router, Next.js, and even a bit of Astro and Sveltekit too. And, of course, how to use TanStack Query with all of them.

@thesicktimes.bsky.social does fantastic journalism on the long COVID crisis. They're running their summer donation drive and it's being matched 😉 the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/

github feeds means that i regularly open github to work on a project and instead read recent repos from my friends (cool!) and get super distracted (boo!). let's add github reels next 😅

mixing an upcoming song of mine "the ruthless logic of use" and enjoyed this clip so I thought I would share it with you

I'm in the final stages with a few companies, and having promising conversations with others. That said, I'm still open to hearing about any Keith-shaped positions on your team. I'm casting a wide net across industries and genuinely curious about what you're building.

launch day! my lil personal site got a rebuild, powered by @11ty.dev i’d be delighted for you to take a look, read some musings, and perhaps even hire me ◡̈ bryn.codes

It would be a mighty shame if the the White House's new CFPB tip line meant to snitch on regulators were stuffed full of demands to bring back consumer protections & regulate Big Tech... fftf.link/floodthecfpb

Do you work in tech and want to rebel against this administration? Integrate accessibility into your product work, no matter the laws and the bullshit this administration says, no matter what your execs say. Treat it as a given, don't ask for permission.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Happy news time: we ran a 200+ person @honeycomb.io company summit in southern California last week. Our COVID protocols worked to keep employees safe and healthy. 0 cases of COVID. 1 detected case of flu at event, 7 cases of flu post-event. In-person doesn't mean hosting a super-spreader.

Hi friends! We need to refresh our website and are looking for a web developer from this community who can help. Please DM recommendations!

The video from my closing keynote to #perfnow is out! I talked about how to approach web performance problems--kind of a beginner's guide to becoming an expert. I hope you enjoy!

RFK Jr even getting a hearing for this job is failed state shit

famously there are only 3 viewports — sm, md and lg — and all devices conform to that. of course that is complete bullshit viewports.fyi

I've been using this to start to build my own blog and have been pleased with it so far. Can write everything in markdown and it has an extension that lets me embed files. But does break the no static site generator rule. github.com/emad-elsaid/...

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Men face more severe acute COVID-19, but women may have a higher risk of #LongCovid. A new study from JAMA Network Open on 12,276 participants found women had a 1.31x higher risk, with age, pregnancy, and menopausal status influencing outcomes. Hormonal factors may play a key role.

A new systematic review of 429 studiesestimated the global prevalence of Long COVID as 36% of people who had tested positive for COVID-19

Another day, another invasive medical procedure to gather organ tissue so researchers can find out what’s wrong with me and 400 million other humans

Latest library haul 🤤

TL;DR sign up for this study at UCSF if you don’t have long covid to help out those suffering. Minimal time commitment, some survey questions and occasional blood draw.

I did it. JavaScript vacuum is alive Wrote the code to control it in the browser via Web Serial API, or on the server with serialport

I don't want to install a fucking app for a website. I already HAVE an app for looking at websites, it's called a browser and it works on all websites.

The @motion.dev library has full Astro support now. Want a bouncy button with zero JS? just define:vars ✨

yay i made an image with SVG lol

Javascript runs on vibes 🥺

New client meeting goes well, send over a proposal! Step 1: watch a youtube documentary about how the game released as mario bros 2 in the US is actually a remake of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, after the initial mario bros 2 was determined to be too challenging…
