Not sure how the original saying got started, but I would think that really any part of a creek is a bad place to be without a paddle.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone say this yet, but in regards to the reflecting pool, is Trump finally fulfilling a campaign promise to “Drain the swamp”?
Accidentally tossed the straw from the coffee I picked up this morning. So I’m now at work, drinking my giant iced latte with a novelty Slurpee mustache straw I found in a desk drawer, like the professional that I am.
It used to be setting up redux boilerplate but not since the toolkit came out. :-)
Erik Rasmussen@erikras.com · 2mo agoWatched some interior painters at work in my building today. I feel like 95% of the work of painting is applying masking tape. What’s the dev equivalent? Unit tests?
You know you live in nyc when a certain smell surprisingly turns out to be an actual skunk.
its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
So glad this Olympic skating theme is 90’s music because those songs hadn’t tortured me enough in my lifetime.
every day logging on is a race to get a dumb joke off before you read the most terrifying news you’ve ever heard
Apple really needs to add a delay feature to their sports app. It’d be dead simple for them to do and everyone could enjoy not knowing a touchdown is coming 30 seconds before it happens because of tv delays. Or a home run etc. Just a delay the user can choose for a certain amount of time. Not hard.
Redux is fantastic and just gotten better and simpler. It’s made debugging production issues so much easier. No more trying to repro, we have periodic snapshots of state and just play msgs back. Sometimes we even reuse those snapshots for tests so we never see those production issues again. Easy…
Mark Erikson@acemarke.dev · 11mo agoAll that to say: Redux ain't going away any time soon :) and we're still very actively maintaining it and working on it to keep it up to date and addressing user requests. Right now I'm working to improve Immer perf and keeping a close eye on React's upcoming "concurrent stores" API.
You want anything from Dunkin?

vibe coding is too manual. the new hotness is aura coding, where you just dress like a software developer but don't actually do anything
I am now “I strained a calf muscle while sleeping” years old.
I’m going to filter out all tech articles that use the phrase “game-changer”. It never is and I’ll gain back so much time.
Kitchen recycling bins are like a domestic reverse jenga game. Everyone keeps trying to squeeze in one more can or carton until it finally doesn’t fit. And that loser has to take the bag outside.
Every day is a gift, but lots of them are cheap promotional gifts, like koozies
I’m not a doctor but I’m pretty sure I could diagnose this one…
I like state machines. I still struggle a bit to get my mind bent into state machine shape, but I’m always so happy with the quality of what I build when I do
Redux toolkit has pretty much nailed all the pain points I’ve previously had with redux, which I still use a ton and love, but wasn’t able to upgrade to rtk yet. Started redoing a very old app with it and it has so much clarity and way less boilerplate. Thank you @acemarke.dev, @phry.dev and all...
Slowly redoing 18yr old vanillaJs app that had custom gui framework (as none existed, even jquery was new) into React, TS, and RTK. Will be interesting to compare app sizes and general amount of code when done. And yes, it’s been running in prod this entire time with very minimal changes since then…
Hey Bluesky, how should I celebrate (derogatory) when I take possession of the Ecma presidency on January first (presumably at midnight Geneva time)?
Every dad gift ideas list is like: Scotch rocks, socks that are also a knife, bacon wallet, hammer subscription
if you're a tech journalist in the present climate, it's incumbent upon you to ask why big tech is pursuing dead ends like AI when they could just start using the number 2. ones and zeroes have taken us as far as they can. either chuck a few 2s in there or cede the future of tech to those who will
One of the things I like about the tech community here on BlueSky is that I haven’t seen as much self promotion. At least maybe the grifters haven’t figured out the algorithm here. Twitter was so bad I nearly walked away from it.
