Wrote a longer issue in my newsletter about the state of @eu-inc.bsky.social steady.page/en/nerdwerk/...

Well well well ... if it wasn't all those AI leaders and companies talking sh1t about Engineers and everyone being out of a job by now. Who could have seen? youtube.com/shorts/CHG2Q...

Working on onboarding for new joiners is always fun and stressful. Realizing how much should have been improved already while trying to smoothen everything out.

Just wrote a skill in claude and it can post on my bluesky account right from where I work. Love it

Working with AI is genuinely the most fun I've had in years. 🤖 But the pace? It's relentless. "Comprehension debt" and "context overload" are now part of my daily vocabulary.

Don't need to post more for you to know which major product is now officially dead.

Much respect for @anthropic.com who are again showing a very different approach than the other players. 💪🏼

I treated myself to a new keyboard. #NuPhy Love the sound, love the design ... my fingers still need to get used to the slightly different key placement, but will get there.

I wrote a longer piece about the state of European developer tools and ... why I think it's a massive opportunity right now. nerdwerk.com/journal/26-2...

US tech billionaires act like they are neutral in all of this. But they are not. By not speaking up, by knowingly letting the oppressors leverage their tech, they are complicit. I hope we all in tech will all do better very soon! We have to! Being silent always helps the terrorizers.

Prediction: OpenAI will really struggle this year, but to financially stabilize the whole situation, MS will jump in and acquire them.

Sunday morning project, that turned into a fun journey. Kids want special coloring pages. Well ... so I ended up creating some with AI, but the quality on print was BAD ... that lead me on a journey.

Since I do more with social media, I heard about link-in-bio so often. Looking around, I have not found much competition besides a few big players. So, I'll give it a stab. And ... will be open source and a European alternative. Spent a few evenings on it already, and like there it's heading.

Trying again to go in on @obsidian.md - and this video helped a ton to understand how to best use it. Longer watch, but worth it. youtu.be/Dq3R3uS0sQ4?...

Nerds … I bet yall love this as much as I do. youtu.be/e1VGzGcSqhA?...

As I ramp up some content stuff, this post by @natalie.sh will come in very handy. Read it when posted originally, and it has stuck with me since. natalie.sh/posts/bluesk...

I think I'll move all my code off @github.com this year and fully move to @gitlab.com I'm done with the whole Microsoft world.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why. I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

Great overview of the year of LLMS simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/31/... The part on Coding Agents is so wild. It feels like these coding agents are around for longer than that.

FINAAAAALLLYYYYYYY

Tried to use substack this year, but absolutely not enjoying it. Worst thing that happened, I clicked subscribe on one account, lead to me be subscribed to 10+ newsletters I never signed up for. Most accounts are just talking about numbers, and monetize how to monetize content.

Something to look out for next year - juno.build Any experiences?

Working on my new website, and enjoying how it turns out. Ending the year, with kicking off something exciting.

Stumbled over this magnificent guide for 3D effects in CSS on a card. Some really good stuff. frontendmasters.com/blog/the-dee...

Mood of the day - Children of Bodom!

Just ported over existing Notion Docs into a Vue Press Developer Docs structure with individual pages and everything using Gemini 3. From scratch to all content there and working 10 minutes total, while I watched a Series and prompted the Agent three times. That's a few hours of work! Wow

If you’re still hunting for color tools, I’m working on a more user-friendly version of meodai.github.io/poline/ keeping you huedrated

🧵 What does “having good taste” even mean in the age of AI? 🤔 A while ago, everyone on my linkedin feed was posting those “action-figure versions” of themselves. Toy box packaging. Retro blister card. Neon colors.

Using GeminiCLI with Linear Mcp to speed up template creation of projects works like a charm. So much faster than typing it all out.

Everyone in AI seems to talk about TOON - so if you missed it get up to speed here: github.com/johannschopp...

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Is there a european Substack alternative? Asking for a friend.

today I'm launching a free API to fetch favicons from any website 🥳 just pass the desired domain and retrieve the favicon in the best quality! you can also resize and convert the image into different formats it's using Bun & Hono, is open source, and easily self-hostable ❤️

`brew install --cask container` That's all you need to run native containers (or Dockerfiles) on your mac. Yet, I don't see it used a ton or referenced. This is one of the most practical posts I found around that topic. I believe this will get much bigger soon. apidog.com/blog/apple-c...

How relevant is the choice of a JS framework these days? All of them are similar and all of them are really good. Biggest factor is likely the ecosystem. How do you all choose?

Between migraines, I started to work on some branding. It's pretty bold colors, sure ... but I kind of like it. Will iterate on it, but happy with the direction.

Hello Bluesky 👋🏼 I'm a creator from #Austria, and on this account is the start of my new professional journey. I'll build in public, share learnings and mistakes, and looking to connect with other builders, makers, creators ... If you have a starter pack/feed ... show me and lets #connect.
