Check out Jim Hall's talk on FreeDOS: Keeping the community together for over 30 years from #DevFestMN 2025 youtu.be/G3kFJg1pgrg

I just donated to the kdenlive (video editor) project. I try to do this once every year to support open source I rely on. Consider supporting your favorite open source tools. Choosing to support open source creates a public good that every human can benefit from.

I'm swapping 4 drives in my NAS. It's going to take weeks (new parity dries, then take old parity drives and swap for individuals) but hopefully the extra 46TB of space is worth it.

We just published the first video from DevFestMN 2025: Wes Chun's talk on Serverless AI. youtu.be/4EWuuglk-UU More talks will be published each week!

Every year at Christmas the Fluin family plays bingo using bingo.fluin.io. We play for prizes at first, and then to steal. Updating to #angular v21 was cutting it close tonight, but it took about 8 seconds.

Is the Internet experiencing another storm? I have a bunch of random services struggling right now but I don't really trust random status pages.

Huge props to the @angular.dev team & security researchers. There have been 3 new CVEs in the past couple weeks. This shows that the ecosystem is actively being scrutinized and protected. Silence isn’t safety. Visibility is. 🛡️✨ www.herodevs.com/support/nes-...

So you watched the Angular v21 developer event, and now you want to explore more? Well, now you can! Check out the updates with the interactive v21 experience on angular.dev 🕹️ angular.dev/events/v21

It's taken a couple years but Demos With Angular is back! In this video I cover the intro the latest SSR setup and show of deployments with Firebase App Hosting. youtu.be/QWe0ZWFtH5o

We just announced the #DevFest MN 2025 talks! Register at devfest.mn to learn about: * Serverless, Agents, GenAI * How to build an MCP Server * Structured & Unstructured Data * The power of non-determinism * Humans in the Loop (HitL) * Firebase app hosting * Community & resilience * Lots more!

The latest Gemini CLI doesn't know what an MCP server is. Wat?

My absolute favorite vibecoding prompt of all time: `prevent firebase initialization race conditions by attempting initialization at most once` It worked... It actually worked...

I have 4 flights in the next 7 days. Uh oh.

If the government shutdown continues for let's say, 2 more years. What does the government look like at that point?

Come and catch up on the latest in AI, Cloud, Web from Google and beyond at DevFestMN 2025, coming December 6, 2025! Tickets are live now. devfest.mn

If you weren't able to catch my talk on #Angular #SSR today, here it is in blog post form: fluin.io/blog/state-o...

Pirates are invading @ng-conf.bsky.social !

I gave an #angular talk on SSR and hosting today at @ng-conf.bsky.social and the audience was HOT.

I had no idea that the npm package registry has legacy case sensitive packages. EEEP! www.npmjs.com/package/JSON... != www.npmjs.com/package/json... Website is super flaky about it too, sometimes giving you one, sometimes the other.

When the #ai math isn't mathing.

I'm gong to the MN Renaissance Festival to see Penn and Teller tomorrow! I'm super excited, but I'm also expecting Fyre Festival levels of chaos and disorganization. They aren't ready for this. Wish me luck!

The burden on maintainers is definitely increasing. "This Is Why Nobody Submits PRs to Open Source Anymore" archive.fo/6ISqh or medium.com/@ThreadSafeD... I see: 1. Too much AI spam 2. Support needs only increase -> leading to burnout 3. Passion vs Corp OSS

Has anyone else gotten really really good at memorizing 6 digit numbers for about 15 seconds over the past decade?

I had to close every app on my computer to get this to run (128GB of RAM and a 5090), but interacting with such an advanced model locally was worth it. Such interesting and deep thinking about the intent and purpose behind each of my prompts. #ai #qwen3

I had a magic moment with #AI this week. I was debugging my Linux desktop computer which was failing to boot. I had googled and chatbotted unsuccessfully for about an hour at this point. I decided to take a 45 second video of the boot up sequence and suddenly the AI knew exactly what was wrong. 🤯

Check out the prompts in GitHub Copilot for VS Code for chat: github.com/microsoft/vs... "You are a highly sophisticated automated coding agent with expert-level knowledge across many different programming languages and frameworks." We should all start the day with this kind of self-talk. :)

I totally misunderstood this page the first time I saw it, thinking it some generic "build with ai" nonsense. It's actually the Angular team's personally tested recommendations and prompts to give you better more modern Angular code generation from LLMs. Wow! angular.dev/ai/develop-w...

Google Pixel phone preferred care via Assurion and Assurant are SO TERRIBLE IT MAKES ME WANT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT. They've asked me for numbers that don't exist, told me that my claim was approved, and that it's under review., and that they need more details. It's NONSENSE.

If you ask Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash for 1,000 random numbers, 70% of them will end in 3. Weird. #ai

Playing around with Flow. Blame Alain Chautard for the prompts. youtu.be/SWjHucA4Dks

Here are my notes from today's Google I/O Announcements. I'm most excited by Flow, Lyria, AI Mode in Chrome (a friend gave me a cool demo), and the the new !Google Glass! There was optimism this year and I can see using these tools, unlike last year fluin.io/blog/most-ex... #io25 #ai #google

Whenever I read AI news that mentions an "MCP" I can't detach this in my my from the Master Control Program, the villain in the original #Tron.

It's reassuring to know it's just you, me, and 944 of your closest friends.

I've been almost a daily reader of The Verge since it launched in 2011, but I tried reading it this morning and hit 3 paywalled articles in the first minute. I guess I'm done. Where to next?

I tried the httpResource API from @angular.dev on stream last night. This is still experimental in 19.2, but like the API, moving from DI and providing a function API for data fetching is a great step. I wish we didn't need to provideHttpClient, which is needed because it uses HttpClient internally

I think it's time for a pop punk music revival.

Conversation with my 4 year old this morning. A: "Will you still love me if I punch you a hundred billion times in the face?" S: "Yes." A: "Wow."

MSP ✈️ LAS for a couple days. If you're out that way let me know if you want to meet up. #CloudNext

In one month, Node.js 18 reaches EOL. Vite and a lot of your dependencies will release majors requiring Node.js 20+. Please update as recommended now so you are prepared to jump into greener fields. Vite 4 will also stop receiving security patches after the next major, so please jump to latest too 🙏

I'm so happy that you can (for the most part) still tell AI videos from reality. It's going to suck when that's not possible anymore.

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly: Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time! github.com/FFmpeg/asm-l...

We have released patches for a moderate security vulnerability for the vite dev server. Please update to the patched versions: 6.2.3, 6.1.2, 6.0.12, 5.4.15, 4.5.10

Hey @samreich.bsky.social how many dropout subscriptions do I need to buy to see a Game Changer episode with the real @alexhorne.bsky.social @gregdaviescomedian.bsky.social with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social Zak, Rekha, Katie, Raph?

RTX 5090 for 2k. This is a scam right? I've been waiting for these for months but this seems too good to be true right now. Seller looks super suspicious. Right? www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8&s...
