A quick follow-up to my first post. Picked a color palette too. lucashomer.leaflet.pub/3m5u5kbucx22b

Trying out @leaflet.pub - Will post there (and thus, here) as I read things and work on projects. lucashomer.leaflet.pub/3m5tmju25k22p

I'm starting a Substack! I'll be writing illustrated posts on different software topics. The first series is going to be all about AWS networking. Here's the first post on VPCs www.ducktyped.org/p/why-is-it-...

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Finished getting our Maestro E2E tests going on @expo.dev EAS docs.expo.dev/build-refere... We use GH Actions and EAS so all I had to do was create a small custom build config and a new build profile, so in GH before the `eas build --auto-submit` step, we have an `eas build --profile maestro` step

Never thought we could leverage our Zillow addiction into helping Angeleno tenants but I'm so here for it.

It’s important to get your rest and vitamin D

Thread on a side project I'm doing to give back to my community. I'm bringing a local non-profit's digital presence from 1997 to 2024. It's not live yet, but soon! For now, check out a blast from the past, hosted on earthlink! sespewild.org

Okay it’s time for me to write a thread about bringing a local nonprofit from EarthLink-hosted one page site into 2024. With receipts!

Ah so THIS is what a slurp juice is

Solved our non-US SMS login issue! Twilio quietly switched off all non-US/Canada geo-enabling so we had to dig around the dashboard and find that page, then manually opt-in for each territory, and then opt out of those that weren’t labeled “high risk” but they emailed us saying they actually were 🥲

This is what you are looking for, my beautiful babies.

this is our actual climate future staring us in the face - no consensus reality or shared source of authority, rampant conspiracies everywhere, more pressure to address made up nonsense than the underlying problem conspiracy theories are fully mainstream now

The amount of conspiracy nonsense and general ignorance and misinformation around the fires and why the happen, what we/“they”/points-at-someone should do/should’ve done… I cannot handle it. Go read Mike Davis. Go read Obi Kaufman. Stop prognosticating and show love and support to those affected.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

I cannot recommend this app enough apps.apple.com/us/app/watch...

Last year this pod leapfrogged all other tech pods as my favorite listen. Great interviews of course, but more than anything they’re funny and always keep it 💯. Thanks for continuing it @justingarrison.com @withenoughcoffee.com 🙏🙏 open.spotify.com/episode/7wBc...

Getting E2E tests going for our Expo app and this article proved really helpful, specifically the string matching bit: blog.theodo.com/2024/03/thre... Kind of odd that it wouldn't initially pass on such a simple assertion, but adding `.*` fixed the issue.

I'm sticking with @darthbluesky.bsky.social's take on this. Promote what you want and be proud of your work and ignore the haters. bsky.app/profile/dart...

Trying to reach her level of blissed out. Goals.

Run club had a holiday pizza party and a buddy and I made dough. I engineered my face off and he went with a more… unstructured method 😅 Both turned out great

@expo.dev happy friday! I'm evaluating where to run my Maestro tests, and I'm curious about the 'preview mode' disclaimer on EAS Workflows. Do you have customers using it in prod? Is it mostly stable? Would love to leverage these workflows now but don't know if I should wait a bit. Thanks!

The launch went really well! I followed it with a two week torrent of UI details/fast-follows. Dust is settling and it’s time to write a launch post-mortem. I’ve learned a few things and I’m excited to share.

Autumn in the Topatopa Mountains 🤩 Got some great training in this morning, and now I’m firmly on the couch.

It important to know the names of women researchers who've been studying, speaking & writing about bias and AI. Dr Timnit Gebru, Dr Rumman Chowdhury, Dr Safiya Noble, Dr Seeta Peña Gangadharan, Dr Buolamwini And many many more within/outside academia. Free link: archive.ph/2023.11.22-1... 👑👑👑

You can only be great at Development and programming if you are truly willing to be bad at it first. If you are willing to be bad, pay attention and learn. If you do that, you will truly become great at this!

Seven months of work goes live to our customers today. A new iOS app. Every commit by yours truly. I feel nervous, excited, and a bit queasy.

She was so stoked for a hike LOOK AT THAT SMILE 🤩

Showered my friends with fresh baked bread yesterday 😇 I made two of roasted garlic + rosemary and two classic. Holiday season is going to be fun.

Still thinkin bout Tricki Woo

last week I self-soothed with the king's college choir singing christmas carols. this week? dune soundtrack. so it's spacious, reverberating vocals, with some religiosity sprinkled on top. got it.

App approved by Apple AND I broke down four pomegranates this morning. #10xEngineer

Happy Friday! It’s bake day. Doing some holiday season testing with more additions 😇 This batch is walnuts, dried apricots, and cinnamon. I added 2tbsp honey after the autolyse, same time I add the 20g salt dissolved in 50g water. Now for the 🧈 and ☕️

YC but they just make the founders do therapy

there is something very funny about the influx of guys here who really think they are going to troll and make people cry and don’t understand that no one cares about blocking here and will do it at a moment’s irritation

This platform’s moderation features continue to improve and impress.

So looking forward to to the full album release. Wish he’d come to LA. I’d maybe even go to SF to see him. open.spotify.com/track/64xYzh...

Quick little intro! Hi 👋 I’m Lucas. I post about: - my dog doing ridiculous things - my sourdough habit - running in the mountains - software stuff, what I’m working on, thinking about, etc

Does the B I G C A R R O T G A N G need any muscle?

I keep meaning to write about Expo and EAS and instead I’m baking and posting pics of bread 😬

Bake day! Added rosemary this time. Next time I’m also adding roasted garlic. Then it’ll be time for fruit and nuts.

Finished a book tonight! Time to strut around the house while simultaneously panicking over what to read next. What a rush!

Bouncy meditation, also known as trail running, is my favorite.

This. I self medicated and over-consumed media last time around. I’m walking into my personal training session now. I deactivated Twitter and I’m off IG. It all adds up. Thrive in spite of it all.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

It’s 6:24am, I’ve been up for an hour, and that is enough social media for the damn year.

fwiw my therapist was straight-up like “pull every single legit coping lever you have right now and don’t feel guilty about it, distraction is key,” maybe you also needed to hear this

Should’ve done a time lapse video of this project so I could watch it afterwards like those oddly satisfying power washer videos

Cozy season is ON 😇
