linkedin having another normal one today

I tried switching from Arc to another browser today... and failed miserably once again. Why are they all such shit? Even though Arc has only been receiving maintenance updates for the past 13 months, it is still the king.

Love you too, Claude

I built an AI memory backend with 2FA and customer-controlled encryption and self-learning and and and...for a team of one. Me. Now I'm shutting it down. What overbuilding (and overspeccing) with AI looks like when nothing hits the brakes: schmidbauer.dev/notes/two-fa...

Claude Opus 4.8 is not going to sugarcoat it

Someone really needs to stop me from buying domains

This post is an absolute banger.

Found one in the archives. Source unknown.

Got a little obsessed with Berlin's messy open data lately. Enter your address or set the pin at navigator.berlin, see your Kiez across boundaries, Kiez-Score, election results, climate, and...ugh so much more...from XLS...really!

I finally made it. Cat content!

📊 Massive LayerChart update (6 months in the making…) Data-driven primitives, overhauled state (transform, brush, series, tooltip), 10+ new components (image, statistical, spatial), canvas improvements, chart export (png, svg), new docs, and so much more! next.layerchart.com/docs/guides/...

I'm probably the last person to upgrade to Tahoe, and my god, is it ugly. Those rounded corners!

Finally the time has arrived for me to give back to you - my Claude Code mentor: "/asshole" (literally just respond with /asshole to such attitudes - no context needed) Skill: gist.github.com/fubits1/3d6b...

I’ve only read 1/3 of it so far yet, but this is an absolute must-read.

I'm tired of everybody claiming MCP is dead... I put my thoughts in words here! ricciuti.me/blog/mcp-is-...

Love this: "If you're trying to convince a team to do a major rewrite or feature implementation, a working demo will do more than any document."

Had Claude build me a companion app just out of fun & curiosity and ended up with a seriously impressive 3-tier AI memory system

Lads. Saw the first Spargel fields yesterday. It’s starting.

Long time no post as I had to dive deep into Patent Classification Systems (my god - human knowledge is huge, but also...complicated) and this is the result patentclassificationexplorer.com

Can it get any worse? Apple: “Hold my beer…”

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Svelte Radio: One Man Svelte for NGOs with Ilja. Have a listen:

This is the lowest low I’ve ever witnessed (so far). And I don’t know why our German public broadcaster is live-streaming and live-translating this.

The monthly cloudflare internet-takedown is happening

A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai

Works like a charm

Nothing to see here, just a few Svelte milestones. For SvelteKit alone I'd need to add 6+ more notable user-land features. I'm thinking about turning this into a less noisy interactive (with links).

It's time for a new Start. Raycast for Windows, available today. 👉 raycast.com/windows

Pro tip from a tired human being (and someone with a B.A. in communication) for people trying to promote their product / library / whatever on here: if you only come online to be negative (complain, dunk, demand, call out etc.), either stop coming online or accept that you’re damaging your product.

📣 Hear hear! The biggest savings on the Practical Accessibility course start *today*—for a limited time only. Starting today, you can get the course for 30% off — that's $279 instead of $399. The discounted price excludes sales tax that may be applied depending on where you are buying from.

For the purpose of more practicing with #D3js and #Svelte made an interactive version of one of the previous infographics: yanouski.com/projects/xfi... #datavis #datavisualization #informationdesign #xfiles #tv

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

Polypane 27 is here! Polypane now has a projects-based workflow, a new snippets panel, line numbers in the style panel (we know!), a new macOS icon and so much more. polypane.app/blog/polypan...

It’s encouraging to see a significant increase in user-centred design capability across all levels of government and throughout the country. For my page, people started sending me roles they found or wanted listed. Other people told me that they frequently looked at the page. ➡️ 🔗 5/X

We are hiring! At @digitalservice.bund.de, we are now looking for #serviceDesign​ers to help us create better government services and policies. One role in policy space, the other in service transformation space. The work in both areas spans the entire federal government and, in parts, beyond 1/X

Quick & dirty SveltePlot of @sveltesociety.dev @guild.host members (~online meetup members). Right now it's fetching from the GraphQL endpoint but I don't know how durable they are, so there's fallback data. @svelte.london is from another planet... svelte.dev/playground/b...

Time to implement this story 🙄

*presses refresh 100 times to see if that fixes the problem*

Svelte users in Berlin - mark 2025-12-09 (9 Dec) in your calendars: The @sveltesociety.dev Berlin Meetup is finally going to happen!!! Kudos to @sarcevic.dev and @peterkogo.bsky.social!

Working on something I'm excited about: extending automated a11y testing with AI agents. Each specializes in WCAG principles, detects edge cases, analyzes code semantics, and uses Playwright. Going beyond what rule-based tools can catch. Agents handle up to 40% of traditionally manual work.

I am very late to the iOS 26 party, but wtf how ugly is that?

idfk, tell me??

"Write accessible code or get sued!" This ain't it "Write accessible code for SEO." No "Write accessible code for AI." Nooo "Write accessible code for blind people." ...better "Write accessible code cause you're a god-damn professional that takes pride in their work." Now we're talking.

Well surely that's due to the Safari team sitting on their hands and being 5-8 years late in shipping it, and even now that it has, it's still quite gimped? Burning out developer enthusiasm is the precise goal in Apple dragging their feet on web features after all.

Needed an app for OSX to run a11y checks on PDFs. Market? Empty. BMAD, Claude, Tauri, Svelte5 and verapdf and 4 hours later: Have my app. Just WOW!

Just created a Claude Code Marketplace for the Team and wow, that was easy.
