age verification? I remember when we switched from <frame>-based web design to <table>-based web design (and then later to CSS-based web design).

So this whole thing is built on an open protocol, but by default your data is fully managed by bluesky. If you're slightly technical, you can add your own rotation key to your account that would give you full control should you want it: whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net...

New brand, new site. You should hire us. But don't take our word for it: the new site is chock full of testimonials from our amazing clients. thunk.dev

This is neat: keytrace.dev/@cmorrell.com

computer, write discord 2. no mistakes pls

gifs are a social construct

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine. It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

I would love a BlueSky feature where I can follow someone's posts without seeing their reposts in my timeline.

This is a great read: www.citationneeded.news/free-and-ope... (Thanks @samwho.dev for mentioning it to me!)

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

🚨 Get ready for a Game Changer — now on Blu-Ray! Dropout's first-ever Blu-Ray release features Season 1 & Season 2 of Game Changer. These beloved seasons been here the whole time, and now they're yours forever!

The modular 3.0 alpha is out. If anyone out there is using modular, I'd love it if you gave it a try in a real codebase: github.com/InterNACHI/m... I've added a number of new tests, but it's the kind of package that's a little hard to test fully in CI.

Guys, I made it! 😂

This is what a good cover letter looks like.

this has been brewing for almost 6 months. details next week. we are so back.

Well, I just bought my 13-year-old a Claude Code subscription… 😅

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social ‘s verse about this never fails to move me

Is anyone out there using usegitai.com yet? Seems like it could be a real solution to part of the code review problems with LLMs… I'm thinking about giving it a spin.

Alright, a very early release of Chronicle is live for folks who want to try it out: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/29848... I've already used it a handful of times in the last few days to both give feedback to teammates and prompt Claude. It's been super useful. (warning: it still has bugs!)

I just decided to read the current Claude Opus system prompt, and it’s kinda amazing to me just how many words are dedicated to not using bulleted lists… 😂

Working in compiled languages makes me appreciate the speed of the feedback loop of interpreted languages like PHP *so* much.

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.

Do I know anyone who is building whole features with Claude/etc in a 2M+ LOC codebase? I’ve been having much more success working on smaller/greenfield apps, but I’ve yet to see an agent really one-shot anything of note in our real, big, production app that has lots of code and real legacy concerns

Alright, here's a 3 min video of the new plugin I'm working on called Chronicle. Hit record, walk through code in your IDE, and get a handoff document at the end. Here's the actual document it produced from my demo session: gist.github.com/inxilpro/4b7...

Well that went better than I could have ever imagined. What a blast. Thanks everyone for hanging!

We're still going strong! Might go for another 20 mins or so.

So @benholmen.com and I are going to get on Zoom around 2pm EST and hang out—maybe work on a project, maybe chat. If that sounds like fun, you're invited! I'm gonna post a zoom link closer to when we get started. I'll reply or quote this post when I do.

Trying something new with Chris today - a little open pair programming / chat. Join us!

Hah

Working on a new PhpStorm plugin that I'm *very* excited about.

They say AI is the end for developers. They say the job market is gone. They say learning to code is pointless. I don’t buy it. I think we're just getting started.

I've seen this passed around a bunch and skimmed it and nodded in agreement (because obviously the new mac OS interface design is bad), but I didn't actually sit down and read the whole thing until just now. God, it's just brutal. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

I can finally announce: I am in the next season (series) of Taskmaster! My favorite tv show! I’ve seen every season & some multiple times! Thrilled to be with this group of hilarious sweeties. Amy Gledhill Joanna Page Armando Iannucci Joel Dommett And me!

I created an Apple Shortcut for iPhone that lets you quickly generate accessibility alt text for images using Apple’s Private Cloud Compute model — it’s accurate & the prompt is based on Harvard’s alt text guide Download here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/61a09e98865b48118b91334d1ae0ddb5

Happy new year! ❤️

Why on earth can I still not watch the last 5+ seasons of Grand Designs in the US?!? Every once in a while I check, thinking surely the BBC will have licensed it to Netflix or something by now, or at least BritBox, but no. Wild.

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/cmorrell.com Working on an update to modular!

It’s been a lovely year with y’all! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...
