Fun Fact: when I was still an intern, being a JS-Dev was kinda frowned upon. Because writing JavaScript was not "real programming". There was one other dev at the company who was good at JS. And I kinda picked it up bc I thought it would make me hard to replace. Kinda nuts from today's perspective.

I am always confused when people bring up "but it requires a build system" when arguing against any piece of tech. I mean, yeah, I _kinda_ get it. But man, I am using build steps for so many things in a project, it is kinda hard for me to imagine any kind of serious project not having a build step.

It's so important to use the right fool for the job. #AI

FDP unter 5% war ein Volksentscheid 🤷‍♂️

I used to be a big defender of Design Systems. I spent years chasing the best way to build them. Never reached a point where I was satisfied. Now that I worked with a few DS inside different corps, it feels like we just offered devs an excuse to overengineer systems that are just bad at everything.

I love this essay very much!!!!

"I'm done and implemented all items discussed in the plan" – "what about feat X? It does not seem to work. Wasn't that part of the plan?" "Yes, that was part of the plan. You can't see X, because it was not implemented yet". Well... cool.

Most AI coding tools feel like a very mediocre junior dev. The kind that is smart enough to understand what you tell them and are able to learn from their mistakes, but get their memory wiped completely every morning.

Back in school, we used to call people who claimed Math worked like this stupid. Which was not cool and really mean. Then again... Maybe it was also accurate in some cases...

How do developers define their worth when code is written by AI? christianheilmann.com/2026/04/21/h...

Observation after developing with AI assistance for a few months: The most valuable place (at least for us so far) is AI inside CI. We recently tried @coderabbitai.bsky.social and in one week, it already caught some major issues I'd have missed. Great for handwritten code _and_ AI slop.

This is exactly why I'd recommend Polypane. Little things like that are what makes it a great tool for development.

I scored 6% on the Tech Bro Assessment. Verdict: not a tech bro. Take the quiz: amiatechbro.com

My brain keeps reading 'poopover' instead of 'popover' today. I guess I'm just having a shitty day.

I might have done a full 180deg on this. But I am now convinced that folks who find TypeScript annoying have either never really tried it on a large codebase, or just don't work on serious js projects. Brought to you from a guy who used to hate static typing with a passion.

I ask the agent to add a field to an entity. It creates a migration and runs it. Next, I run the generate command again and it creates a duplicate of that migration, b/c the agent created it manually and – of course – did it wrong.

Fuck you, Elon Musk. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

No matter how much memory you buy, seems like Chrome will eat up what is available. WTF! 😵

I never want to hear complaints about tethered caps again...

Sauf!

Ganz zufrieden, dass wir einen Rossmann in der Straße haben und der dm eine U-Bahn Station entfernt ist 😄 #fckAfd

I usually don't bother reading release notes. But I love reading the @zen-browser.app notes when they pop up after every new release. I basically live in my browser these days and this one is the best I've used in ages.

Heute ist schon der dritte Montag in dieser Woche…

"Excellent question, Philipp — and I like that you’re asking why, not just how." Yeah man, 'cause you've been known to talk out of your ass. #conversationsWithAi

Sounds a lot like what my country did in the 30s. It was bullshit then, it is bullshit now. There are no shortcuts to getting to know a person. From the bottom of my heart: fuck you, if you think this is how hiring works.

It's the year 2025 and Plesk still won't let me use safe passwords...

Talking to an AI agent sometimes feels like talking to an old wise man. "Ah, I spotted the issue, this is a classic issue with X, here's how to solve this". Unfortunately, you never know at what point dementia sets in and all of the sudden it starts confusing things.

“It just shows that all this framework "magic" that's supposed to help us can also create some really weird problems.”

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Übrigens: Nazis raus! Aus dem Stadtbild und auch sonst.

ChatGPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Herbstrhythmusstörungen.

Was für ein unfassbar dümmer Take. Die Idee ist besser als die der meisten VC-backed Startups. Statt über die Patent-Idee zu lachen, gebt der Frau eine Gründerberatung. Zeigt genau warum es in Deutschland zu wenig Gründer gibt.

Alright, we are down to "won't build because of Typescript errors". At least this one is easy. Let's see if we can get this working within the hour to see what kinds of surprises Plesk will have for us. Could have saved the whole day if their git runner would actually have access to node..

Well, clearly this changes EVERYTHING.

Ein KI-Chatbot kann nicht lügen. Das würde implizieren, dass er Dinge weiß. Tut er aber nicht. Und bei diesem Verständnisproblem beginnt die Problematik dieses Narrativs 🤷‍♂️

BTW folks, this is why Services like Netlify are great. I wish we wouldn't have to do this the hard way...

Small task to start the day: setup deployment for a client. So far I have: - found out that Plesk still sucks - updated to latest Debian to update the runner - updated the runner - updated to latest Debian to update GitLab - updated GitLab - changed the docker image Deploy still not working

Good morning. I have everything under control.

Manchen Männern ist es wichtiger, zu betonen, nicht Teil des Problems zu sein, als dass sie dieselbe Kraft aufwenden, Teil der Lösung zu sein.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Holy smokes, @tanstack.com start has improved a lot since I set up the last project. The CLI is really nice and the parts it lets you integrate show how well these folks understand their users. The new demo content also looks amazing. I like where this is going. Feels like we made the right choice.

No matter the question – making music is the correct answer.

Man dürfte wohl schon berechtigt die Frage stellen mit welcher Begründung Leute die Union als "Wirtschaftspartei" sehen. Noch lustiger, dass die selben Leute den Grünen vorwerfen ideologisch zu handeln und alles verbieten zu wollen.

You can think what you want about her political views. But that woman has more courage than most of us.

I just upgraded my @figma.com subscription because I needed access to DevMode. Only to find out that I can't use it on files that my client shared with me. Seems like my client has to upgrade their subscription in order for this to work. Cool. Now I have a subscription that is completely worthless.
