Thank you @scott.hanselman.com and Ed Rogers of Bristol Braille Technology for the superb episode of Hanselminutes hanselminutes.com/1048/braille.... Really interesting conversation gents and I appreciate how easy it was to follow even as a complete newcomer. 🙌

“If you lead engineers and believe culture is ‘soft,’ this book will disabuse you of that notion quickly. Psychological safety, learning, and collaboration aren’t perks, they are infrastructure. Ignore them and your systems will fail, slowly or catastrophically.” - @scott.hanselman.com

Alright, I put them in a zip file here: serdarcevher.com/pedalscape-locales.zip These translations might probably be improved in the future (as I'm unaware of the full context yet) but for now, they should be mostly OK.

I have just used this on my home elliptical/cross trainer and it is SO GOOD! 🚵🏻‍♀️ HT @scott.hanselman.com 👏🏻

I have a $30 stationary bike that I got at Goodwill and I have an old Android tablet stuck to it, but I don't have a Peloton membership. Nor do I have the interest to ride 80 miles to the beach. So I made PedalScape.com It's a local PWA, no backend at all, no tracking, just 4k bike rides.

Ok now treadmills and walking pads. Free. No login or database. beltscape.com

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Heading back to Portland after a hard but energizing week at BUILD. What a lovely team.

Hey, @scott.hanselman.com built TinyToolTown.com for tracking these little vibe-coded apps. 👌 I submitted a feature request that it should have an RSS feed as well! Feel free to chime in: github.com/shanselman/T...

Tiny Tool Town 🏘️

A delightful showcase for free, fun & open source tiny tools. Stupid-delightful software made with love.

The world is in chaos and fascism on the rise, but I have a tiny remote control for my e-reader and it makes me very happy.

Saw #MortalKombat2 and it was exactly what it needed to be. At no point did I believe Karl Urban could do the splits or event a deep squat but suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride!

Did I just put Oh My Posh in GitHub Copilot CLI? Yes. Am I making a video to show how you can do it too? Also yes. 💕 Shoutout to @scott.hanselman.com for his excellent gist: gist.github.com/shanselman/9...

git worktrees y'all. So good. This is workTrunk.dev

Stumbled over this little gem from @scott.hanselman.com where you can include the new GitHub Copilot CLI's statusline in your Oh My Posh command prompt. Very useful for the nerds in the room. gist.github.com/shanselman/9...

Scott Hanselmann has been a role model for my entire career. As a tech geek and as an all round good person, he sets the benchmark. Today at NDC Conferences Toronto he shared a poignant retrospective and message of positivity for the future with AI.

(I enjoyed having an excuse to quote @scott.hanselman.com and @markrussinovich.bsky.social's ACM op-ed on how efficiency gains from AI-assisted coding are not uniform; it's a good read dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...)

Scott called me up last week to tell me about this, and I kinda went giddy with excitement. It is SO COOL that this stuff is being published.

The earliest DOS source code was found on printer paper in Tim Paterson's garage so we've open sourced it on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary! This is next-level software archaeology for preservation, and plain ol’ curiosity. #DOS #RetroComputing opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/04...

A very cool update from @scott.hanselman.com regarding 86-DOS which was written just across the street from us! icm.museum #software #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing
