I think I need a slackbot that replaces “Claude said” or “copilot said” with “My friend’s uncle that works at Nintendo said…”

ok imagine “social conf”, all about the social web and how tech connects people; atmosphere, web 2, p2p, everyone!

We were looking at some dependency decisions at work today, and let me tell you, the @npmx.dev open compare feature proved to be super useful!!!

Just finished going through the entire book and it was a ton of fun! More thoughts and a write up later. In the meantime going to play around with a couple side projects before jumping into the follow up: Writing a Complier in Go.

Just finished the parsing chapter of @thorstenball.com's Writing an Interpreter in Go. The recursion for grouped operators and expression precedence is easy enough to understand but still feels magically. Definitely fun! Managing moving to the next token throughout the recursion - nope, not fun!

If anyone wants to read my comic, chapter 1 is now live: redstonecomic.com

Finally got around to watching this and the way @w3cj.com goes through the history of llm development and breaks down the math and algorithms to slowly build something up is remarkable. A must watch!

I built an LLM from scratch. Here's everything I learned along the way.

Farmers market produce makes for a fantastic fried rice! Tonight’s creation included chorizo, jalapeños, Jersey corn, shallots, scallions, and a yum yum sauce (mayo, soy, sriracha, and more)

Courtney Barnett, Low Cut Connie, and Weird Nightmare are highlights for me, but I still think Ratboys has the top spot

alright, y'all: What's your favorite album of 2026 so far?

Two months later and I still pull out this algorithm whenever playing with my son and I get my hands on Magna-tiles

I nerd-sniped myself while playing with my toddler and had far too much fun: cassidoo.co/post/cluster...

Amen brother. I get this a lot, too. “How do you make your animations?” HTML, CSS, JS. The web already has everything you need to make the most beautiful and engaging content in the world. No batteries needed.

Location doesn’t work for me, but if you haven’t done it, building out a data layer (for multiple applications) will teach you sooo much about the web and how applications are built. Some of the most fun work I’ve done. Highly recommend!

This is such a cool role on one of the greatest teams I've ever worked with. Feel free to message me if you have questions about Bloomberg or their infrastructure org. bloomberg.avature.net/careers/JobD...

There are sooo many apps that play in the intelligence layer that I either find uninteresting or lack any staying power

kepano@stephango.com · 3w ago

formats evolve over decades, apps over months, intelligence is evolving every day in terms of pace layers "file over app" defines priorities: invest deeply in proven formats, and don't expect anything at the intelligence layer to last very long

Ever since my son was diagnosed with Celiac, we’ve gone all in on rice noodles which agree with him and he loves. Tonight cooked up a delicious beef chow fun!

Need to adjust beginning and end dates (to what I can remember), and maybe provide some ratings, but just logged all the books I’ve read thus far this year on @bookhive.buzz!

Ive always been a huge fan of this @adactio.com article (and that’s before we get into the performance implications) That said I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a ton of fun tracking down issues in the minified js of non idempotent scripts that monkey patch everything adactio.com/articles/18676

Ain’t no party like a third party

If you make websites for a living, stop what you're doing and read this research by @tammyeverts.com; it shows what many of us have been saying for a long time: even if there is such a thing as "fast enough", it's generally *much* faster than you are targeting: embrace.io/blog/research-co…

New research: The Core Web Vitals thresholds you trust might be wrong for your site

Core Web Vitals data from ten leading online retailers reveals that "good" for Google may not be good enough for your users or your business.

“We did it a similar way in the past and have a deadline” is a great way to compound the problems of the past and add more broken windows to your code base.

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying. So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product. It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

I am once again exploring the modern take on this after 4 years: marvinh.dev/blog/running...

Running 1000 tests in 1s

Most code doesn't require the amount of test isolation modern test runners apply by default. If you only opt into the amount of isolations you need, you can easily run 1000 tests in 1s.

I couldn’t sleep last night so of course I was up thinking about how much I like rss but how annoyed I am that most rss apps I’ve tried feel like they were designed without ever seeing a user use the app (especially one that already isn’t using rss apps)

I just stood over my steel griddle on top of my grill in 90+ degree F heat and sweated up a storm. But it was 100% worth because I was serving up a batch of Oklahoma onion smash burgers (probably my favorite variety of burgers). A dish devoured too fast to even grab a pic.

Tip for all my holiday grillers: make sure you score your hot dogs and thank me later!

The thing that allows ATProto and other projects like @npmx.dev to succeed is not the technology. It’s the community. Finding your community and building together with positivity still seems to he best way to fight everything bleak.

Brittany Ellich@brittanyellich.com · last mo.

Looking at all the tech burnout chat today and realizing that I think getting involved in ATProto has really saved my career. The future is bleak but having something hopeful about it in ATProto and the promise of the open web is keeping me going and excited.

I’ve made more new friends in my 30s than in my 20s. 1) I’ve forced myself to be more outgoing than I used to be. 2) having kids and interacting with other parents in a similar stage is a cheat code
