Gosh, my mum had one of these. I absolutely loved that piece of sh*t car
"How"@myoneandonlykat.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat car would you rather drive than a Cybertruck? Me: A Yugo with less horsepower than a ceiling fan on low.
Through every heatwave I get annoyed at my past self for not getting an air conditioning system fitted. Then I look at the prices again and think ‘ah well, I could just take a cold shower’
A setting where if you’re using Bluesky in dark mode, screenshots with white backgrounds are magically turned dark.
I hate to say this, but using AI as part of my day to day work has put the joy back into coding; I’m so much more productive, and I don’t have to waste hours writing tedious boilerplate
Er, Claude? TIL you can customize the verbs in Claude Code 😂
Working almost exclusively with #KMP for the last few months has been liberating. I now confidently describe myself more broadly as a ‘mobile engineer’, and my bugs live in more people’s pockets than ever before
What I didn’t expect while potty training our toddler was how many photos of poop my wife and I would send each other, nor how excited we get every time we receive one 💩❤️
#DryJanuary is in full swing, with #alcohol the #1 habit being tracked this month. Wishing good luck to all those giving it a shot!! Sobo for iOS is completely free to download with no subscriptions or purchase necessary. Because there should be no barriers to quitting. Download: apple.co/3RWQMVP

Nothing seems to eat up my Claude Code tokens more than unit testing with Kotlin coroutines and StateFlows 😞
First Christmas for my youngest, and the first one where my toddler understands the concept of it all. Probably the best Christmas ever ❤️ Merry Christmas all!!
No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency. This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.
The best thing about being a mobile app developer is that your code could be sitting in the pockets of millions of people around the world. Bugs and all.
Trying to enjoy my evening but can’t stop thinking about how many ways McLaren could hand the championship to Max tomorrow 🫣 Come on guys let’s finish this 🧡🧡🧡
Watching the budget announcement today, it’s maddening how shambolic UK parliament is - heckling, shouting, spiteful personal attacks - on both sides. I get that it’s probably always been this way but, aren’t they supposed to be adults?
New job, and I’ve never felt so motivated. I have the freedom to work remotely, to balance my time with my parental responsibilities… I’m treated like an adult. In return, I’ve already closed 3 issues including a high severity incident, in just my first week. #RTO policies are BS
I’d like to say I’m most proud of launching Sobo because it could genuinely help someone improve their life by giving up a harmful habit. But I have to confess that I’m also feeling incredibly smug for getting my iconography past Apple’s review process 😇🍆 apps.apple.com/gb/app/sobo/...

Sobo | Sobriety Tracker App@sobo-app.bsky.social · last yr.Our #ProductHunt launch just dropped! 🚀 Any support you can offer would be massively appreciated ❤️
I’ve found sleep to be one of the most important things in life, and I realised how much mine was being interrupted after drinking alcohol - so I decided to quit. Wanted to track my sobriety with #ios widgets, so thought I’d build some! apps.apple.com/us/app/sobo/... #sober #BuildInPublic
