Claude wrote me some Vue code today, and added the HTML comment you see here, regarding generics. I've never seen this before, but it called it a "generic directive" and it does seem to actually alter how the code is interpreted by TypeScript, so wondering – is this TS, Vue, or something else?

Does anyone have any experience with IPS monitors? I'm just testing a new Iiyama 24" QHD and whilst it's sharper than my old (non IPS) one it exhibits crazy colour shift towards the edges. Is this normal? Anyone got any recs for something better? Ideally 24" as I have two, side to side

Anyone else finding Claude 3.7 thinking makes mountains out of molehills? It seems particularly bad at anything involving recursion, and writes way too much code, repeats code where it shouldn't, and fails on the actual logic needed to recurse. Had happened twice now. Would be simpler to DIY

Awesome news; one of my favourite development / debugging tools Quokka, has a new major version out! quokkajs.com/whatsnew/quo... If you don't know Quokka, check it out; you can prototype code, run and debug directly in your IDE; a "must have" tool for sketching out and nailing algorithms.

Quokka - JavaScript and TypeScript playground in your editor

Quokka runs your JavaScript and TypeScript code and displays results inline in VS Code, WebStorm, and Sublime Text.

New Bluesky Follower Info feature landing soon; collapse user profiles (with options to expand or collapse by default). Should make for neater timelines for known/reviewed followers.

Considering renaming Bluesky Follower Info, as its scope has widened (notifications, starter packs). Please vote for: - Bluesky Notifications + - Bluesky Notifications Plus - Bluesky Better Notifications - Bluesky Extended Notifications - Bluesky User Info - <a new suggestion> - <no change>

I added a new feature to Bluesky Follower Info this morning, for the follower info 👍 to update when you follow or unfollow someone! Dunno about you, but I think this is pretty slick 😎 Should release this later today 🚀

It's funny to think that Musk supposedly bought and rebranded Twitter as "X" to become an "everything" app. Surveying what's left of the smouldering wreckage of Twitter and the decimation of its user base – it does not seem like it will ever become anything for anyone, does it? X-tinct 🦖 perhaps ?

I got fed up with not being able to see any meaningful details about new followers in the Bluesky notifications feed, so I've made a chrome extension to fix it. Will post again when it's published on the Chrome Web Store!

@bsky.app needs a much better UI for reviewing recent followers and whether to follow back. A list which shows a profile icon and a handle is about as much good as a chocolate teapot! Why not promote the bio info to the page along with a few stats about when they joined, active posting, etc.?
