Trying to get back into latte art and doing something that's not just a simple heart! A feather is still pretty close to a heart though.

When contractors tell you they'll come on a Saturday at 8:30 am (!!!), then they actually show up at 11:30 am and do nothing except say they want to come again next Saturday at 9 am

Meme: I cant believe you've done this

I've written a new library, Vla 🚀 github.com/timomeh/vla Vla is a data layer that integrates into any TypeScript framework (Next.js, SvelteKit, Express, Koa, Tanstack, etc) and provides structure to write smooth, clean, scalable and testable backend codebases.

GitHub - timomeh/vla: Vla is the missing backend layer for scalable TypeScript apps that integrates into any framework and existing codebases.

Really looking forwards to drive home to my parents for christmas, but procrastinating a lot having to carry stuff downstairs into the car four times.

I wish dependabot were a tiny bit smarter. Like: biome's config has the version in its schema URL. So if dependabot updates biome, the schema version doesn't match the installed version anymore, and it will complain. Just do it for me, pls.

If your crons on Railway were running a bit late recently, they should be better now. I rolled out a few updates between 18:30 and 19:30, and there are clearly some significant changes in cron timing. A few late stragglers here and there, but we'll catch those too.

Graph of Crons fired. After 6:30pm clearly visible spikes every 5 minutes in cron executions.

I tried cutting pizza with scissors today because I heard only good things about it and holy fuck I hated it, there wasn't a single good thing about it.

Pro-Tip: using BigInt() in your code makes it look 10x more important. I was juggling storage sizes today. 9 petabytes in bytes already hit MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. 9PB is a lot but also isn't.

Flex Tape meme, Phil Swift slapping Flex Tape on a leak. The Leak: "Enterprise Needs". The Tape: "BigInt(number)"

Some popular hosting platforms taught developers the wrong assumption that every hosting-adjacent feature must be built into the platform or bought as another SaaS, when in reality, you often just need to run a docker image. Gotta reeducate.

Had my first unproductive day in 3 months. Thanks to MacBook issues. One day. In 3 months. Just because of tech problems. Not because of meetings or calls or metawork. Actually I'm not even mad, that's amazing.
