quote post your publication, lets get a quote chain going!

I'm tired of talking to AI. I want to talk to real people. But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI's answer.

Conditional Rendering Over Nil Coalescing Delight your customers by handling these states directly, rather than appeasing the compiler with a fallback value. Felt pretty rant-y writing this one after seeing way too much brittle code with fallback values all over the place.

Stop using empty strings, empty arrays and zeros as fallbacks for your nullable values.

imo one of the biggest problems right now both in open and closed work is models yeeting large, unreviewable PRs. breaking that work down into small chunks - something that we were already doing pre-ai - makes that process much more sustainable imo

I feel this so much everyday. I love technology and toys and coding. But things feel a lot less fun, less human, less enjoyable, and less sustainable than ever for me personally.

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

Woulda been nice to be adding an extra $25 to this for this year, but here’s to upping it by $26 next year 🙌 @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

baby’s first app of the day feature 🥹 proud of the team here at @particle.news that made this happen!

I added Bluesky posts to my blog! A fun way to learn more about ATProto and all the lexicon tools.

Plannotator slipped into my most commonly used tools one day and never left.

I felt spicy this morning, I guess.

How about I todon’t, LinkedIn?

Highly recommend this insightful post from @eliperkins.com reflecting on a year of using Kagi: blog.eliperkins.com/one-year-wit...

Just implemented this on my blog too. Pretty easy to do since the posts are already in Markdown!

If you want your content to be readable and accessible to LLMs, it's become increasingly important to make it compact and token-efficient. That's why I wrote a guide to support LLMs searching your blog in two easy steps — or with one simple prompt. Plus, a lesson on markdown and context windows.

Whether or not the Xcode agent is any good (I'm dubious), the fact Xcode itself is exposing first-party MCP tools is great news—trying to get Claude/Codex to do fucking anything right in iOS is agonizing. developer.apple.com/…

"Tools I Love: xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo" A handy lil command line tool to visualize changes in my PRs that I use regularly.

"One Year With Kagi" It's been a year of using not-Google as my default search engine, and I don't think there's any turning back for me. Kagi rocks. 🤘

What 99% of the internet feels like these days

@jdan.me needs more communication notifications. how am I supposed to know who this is coming from?!

Dang, this blog from @maggieappleton.com is REALLY good, and echos how I feel about Gas Town. Interesting concepts baked into a tool that has ridden the hype waves to tip of every Silicon Valley engineer's tongue.

On agent orchestration patterns, why design and critical thinking are the new bottlenecks, and whether we should let go of looking at code

Third of four daughters, raised in a rural area. Finally cleaning out the filing cabinet and loading it to the cloud.

"Gardening" I've had this term knocking around in my head for some years, in relation to caring for a codebase. Finally put some words together in a blog to capture how I feel about it.

Another day, another `mise use` that saved my butt. Fewer tools have entered my workflow as quickly as this one did some years back, and I rarely think about the fact that I'm using it 99% of the time.

As called on Miami Spanish radio:

This is a fun lil Liquid Glass animation quirk on iOS 26. It looks like the labels on each tab are all out of wack. The text changes, and labels animation from left-to-right in an odd way!
