huh, AVG does not like ngrok 🙄

people thinking about upgrading to the bigger AI subscriptions: check your model use first, make sure you're using appropriate models for the appropriate tasks i.e. don't let Opus 4.5 summarize or format text, make its smaller brothers do that

sure, this tracks with where the 🇺🇸 is going

super saiyan levels of coding this year 💪

working on improving the user experience of the @MuteDeck Stream Deck plugin with: - Show the supported apps with each action - Add a ton of pre populated actions to save manual work - Custom -> Other actions for simplicity the action is powerful, but labeled too complex

this is my healthcheck page 🪵

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

prompt tip:

there are a lot of PNG -> SVG converter tools, but they all suck Adobe, canva, freeconvert, and more have issues with anything that is a little more complex then an icon. Note the squiggly lines 👇 convertio . co was spot on - if you need an SVG conversion, go there 😊

vs how I look while directing multiple agents and working on multiple problems at the same time

how I feel while directing multiple agents and working on multiple problems at the same time

it might seem obvious, it might not, but make sure your checkout flow is seamless need the user to login first? remember what they were doing and automatically continue it, once they're logged in new account? same deal, continue automatically after they've registered

this trend definitely has to stop, now. if not, regular computers are going to cost 2-4x as much soon, all to feed this 🤖 bubble

I think I'm on too many meetings

about to upgrade to macOS 26 wish me luck

stop congratulating your users that your app did it's job i.e. "congrats! I've made your report"

xkcd's video came on our tv during dinner and I almost choked 😂 one of my heroes casually doing 20 seconds on my product

yeah, this feels appropriate for 2025

enabling error logging on an existing frontend is going to hurt at first you'll spend some time filtering out extension issues, anything that's unrelated to your codebase but the end result of having no errors on your frontend is worth it

You order LEGOs and get sandpaper Is this a message? 🤔

I will never understand people who send a GDPR template to services instead of just unregistering

I don't run discounts often, but until December 3rd there's 35% off the annual WhatPulse plan and MuteDeck licenses If you've been meaning to pick up the paid version of either tool I build, this is the best time to do it. 💛 Links & "what is it?" below 😊

there is no such thing as "under engineered" it either works or it doesn't "over engineered" is definitely a thing

when a pretty awesome feature doesn't work as expected 😂 gotta get around those bot checks

happy 🦃 day for those who celebrate 🍗

anyone getting constant terminal dings from claude code today? used to be when it needed something, now it's on every single step

👾👾👾

I was today years old when I learned you can put the path of a component as the component tag in NuxtJS <CommonCard> -> common/Card.vue <CommonHeader> -> common/Header.vue

remember when Black Friday was a single day?

working on a new game for typetest called Typing Invaders and having a blast 😊

this is pretty weird; over the last few days @whatpulse.org is getting a bunch of traffic from Singapore for pages that do not exist 🤔 at first I thought it was a scaping/AI service, but it seems they're only going after `/forums/` pages - which don't exist..

dammit, my tests succeeded in the first try, now I can never trust this code

how my dutch accent and pronunciation of WhatPulse confuses voice to text apps list keeps on getting longer 😂

first test with Google's Antigravity is going swell

great, now @github.com is "hold my beer"ing to outshine cloudflare's outage

still getting down emails from @uptimerobot which freaks me out but then the timestamp in the email points to 5 hours earlier 😮‍💨 (seems they have a backlog of emails) I wonder how many monitoring emails were sent, would be fun to chart

the funniest thing about this Cloudflare outage is that even if specific websites are online and just fine ..their bot catcher isn't, so you can't access them 😂

Cloudflare quietly becoming a monster provider 🙈 think it's an excellent fit, though - replicate seems very much alike CF in company & drive

get off socials and do some work instead

TIL that you can't trust that `localStorage` is always going to be accessible browsers with strict privacy mode on can disable access to it TIP: wrap it in a custom class that tests if it's available, and falls back to in-memory (so not persistent) storage if needed

there's a scam going around where people email into your support inbox with the claim they were charged and never approved it and want a refund usually with details that look similar to your service, but definitely aren't gotten 6 today I've taken a bite, see what they ask 🙃

this is amazing, a newspaper used ChatGPT to write a front page article nothing wrong with that (imo), but at least edit it ...and remove the followup nudge ChatGPT always adds to keep the chat going 😂

it's super weird that you have to pretend to be asleep before you are asleep think about it

why @Microsoft? why the hell did you move actions from a perfectly good location (at the end) to somewhere *no one* is going to expect it? who's in charge over there? I'd like to speak to the manager

Small quality-of-life improvement to the login page: If you log into WhatPulse with another platform or passkey, the login page will now remind you of which one you've used last time 🫶

testing with Claude code on the web, and it's cooking 🧑‍🍳

LLMs don't get dumber over time your prompt gets worse over time

I'm really proud of this one 😊 culmination of the summers' work and the beginning of WhatPulse providing real insights, not just data ⚡

gubernatorial is such a weird word
