Analyzing one crash dump by hand: satisfying detective work. Analyzing 10,000 to discover they're all the same bug: a cry for help. Crash grouping is the difference: blog.bugsplat.com/understandin...

Can sharing how to cook eggs be a recipe? I'd say 'no.' But I do expound on the joys of putting an egg into toast - and pass along a couple tips for doing that simple thing.

Eggs in a Basket

I'm having a hard time thinking of this as a "recipe." I'd call this more of an egg-focused PSA because this way of prepping eggs is something I don't see enough of in my day to day life. Just conside...

Every startup and small team eventually faces the question: do we build this tool or buy it? Sometimes the answer is obvious. A lot of the time it's not. Here's how I think about it - what's your process?

Build Vs Buy for Startups

I run a small company that builds developer tools. Our whole business exists because our founder decided to build a thing on the side. So I'd be the last person to tell you not to build something. But we also bootstrapped the business that grew out of that project. Stretching dollars and finding cheaper

I’ve been experimenting with a small habit that made life less noisy and more intentional. Wrote a little about it here if you want to peek. www.joeyplunkett.com/i-never-forg...

A small habit that quietly turned down my mental static and helped me remember, and act on, the stuff that actually matters.

Your users hate crashes. Obvious, sure. But actually doing something about them? That part gets skipped more often than you’d think. Consider this your friendly PSA: crash reporting is still just as important in 2025. Here’s why →

Do you need Crash Reporting in 2025?

In short: yes! Crash reporting helps dev teams ship smoother apps and games by catching issues early, fixing faster, and launching with confidence.

I talked about it in my post about how to easily continually find new music you dig (joeyplunkett.ghost.io/find-new-mus...), but I love December because so many music outlets year-end lists of best tracks, albums, and I artists drop. In this thread, I'll explain why they're a great resource.

Really enjoyed @jamesclear.bsky.social’s newsletter today, especially this gem: 'Two simple rules: You get better at what you practice. Everything is practice.' A powerful lens to view our actions through—a reminder that every step we take reinforces who we're becoming

Why does it always seem like podcasters use different/worse mics for the ad reads? Voices are buttery smooth for the pod then as soon as they start talking about Better Help it’s recorded via tin can.

I often times get to shows kinda late, so checking the shows subreddit is full of landmines/spoilers. I do still want to be able to see the discussion up to the point of the episode I just watched. Here's how I fix that problem with a simple google search. joeyplunkett.ghost.io/reddit-episo...

It's an interesting list with some useful stuff on it. Disappointed not to see a shoutout for my new favorite travel app, Flighty (flighty.com). Hard to explain how nice it is until you use it for a few flights. Having all that info in one easy-to-access and well-designed space is awesome.

Flighty — A new way to track flights

The only app that tells you everything about your flight. Get real-time updates, the fastest alerts, and delay predictions, so you're always the first to know and rebook.

I’ve fought silly spelling and gramatical errors my whole life. Proofing is hard! But now I see an error and think: ‘Hey! A human wrote that, not AI. Good for them!’ Errors are hardly a new hidden strength. Finding ways to lean into your style is tho. #ai #writing #proofreading #aiwriting

Top comments seemed to agree that bugs are more frustrating when you feel you could fix them if you had access to the source code.

Fun discussion on r/ProgrammerHumor: What do you think about the statement "Learn to code and you'll never complain about bugs in software or videogames ever again" www.reddit.com/r/Programmer... #computerbugs #videogames #gamedev #programmerhumor

I use Todoist to keep track of all of my To Do's for both professional and personal, and it works amazingly well for that. I'll do a write-up about my own flavor of the Getting Things Done (todoist.com/productivity...) philosophy I've built inside of that app to keep things moving and organized.

Maybe it's just my feed, but Im not seeing a lot of music getting shared on @bsky.app. Im currently listening to 'Cellphone' by Old Mervs and it's adjoining Spotify Radio Station. It's great. What are you listening to? Share below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i9L...

I just follow this video's instructions (www.youtube.com/shorts/az_vC...) to set my phone to grey mode w/ lower brightness past 8pm to help reduce evening screen time. Also used the same automation to make my iOS Kindle app always black and white to imitate my physical Kindle device look and feel.
