I got inspired to learn to #draw by PewDiePie's recent videos, and it's been a lot of fun. I've only done it for a month, but I'm already seeing progress. Currently learning to draw full torsos at different angles. Might share some progress pics if I draw something decent enough. #drawing #animeart

Jeez, my server just tanked itself, cause it ran out of memory, and I had to upgrade it for an extra $6/month. I really need to finish up this migration of my backend to #NextJS (with server functions) and DB to #Postgres and go down from 4 #Docker containers to just 2. #webdev #coding #programming

It's so frustrating talking about #privacy to some people. I always hear them say 'oh, but no matter what I do, "they" will always have my data'. Like, come on, if you can reduce how much data is collected about you by 80% for only 20% of the effort, why not do it? 1/2 #security #dataprivacy

I used to use Arch #Linux (btw), but eventually got sick of having to manually configure my system for every little thing whenever I reinstalled my OS. But since then I've made a post-install script to make all of that easy. 1/2 #coding #ArchLinux #programming #opensource #foss

After spending just one day in #London and chatting with friends at a #software startup there, I really got the impression that it's basically the Silicon Valley of #Europe. Such a good place for networking and just meeting cool people in general. #programming #coding #webdev

I've pretty much given up on sending job applications through #Linkedin, Indeed, etc. due to the #AI slop recruiters have to dig through on there. Now I prefer to send fewer higher quality applications to companies I'm actually interested in directly through their websites instead. #webdev #coding

It's crazy how overreaching Intellectual Property got. I get wanting to make money from your creations in the first 5-10 years, but there's no good reason for why #copyright should last more than 100. Imo, anything above 20 years is way too long. And I feel the same about #patents. #opensource #foss

What I find the most baffling is meeting people who are familiar with the #privacy issues of apps like #WhatsApp and #Facebook Messenger, but still refuse to use smth like #Signal, just bc of the network effect. Bro, just take some initiative and encourage some of your friends and family to switch.

I have finally accepted that major migrations are basically unavoidable for large projects. No matter how hard you plan ahead, eventually something will change, be that one of your deps being deprecated, your project requirements changing, or sth else, 1/3 #coding #programming #webdev

I just had the funniest bug ever. I was supposed to be getting a certain value in variable A, based on variable B being undefined. For a while, I couldn't tell what was wrong, and then I realized variable B wasn't undefined; it was just the string "undefined" 😆 #coding #webdev #programming

Can't wait to finish building my home server. These types of projects are legit so much fun, and you learn a lot along the way. Gonna set up #Nextcloud on this bish 😎 #homeserver #linux #foss #opensource

I recently heard this story about the .io TLD potentially being phased out near the end of this decade, and thought that sucked, but was glad that I didn't own any of those domain names. Today, I realized my email address uses .io 🫥 techstartups.com/2024/10/10/t... #webdev #internet #web

According to statcounter, the market share of #Windows went down from 77% to 70% in the last five years. In the same time period, the market share of #Linux went up from 1.8% to 4% 😎 gs.statcounter.com/os-market-sh... #foss #opensource #privacy

My relative used to have a laptop on #Windows VISTA that was very slow. I installed #Linux for her and she actually liked it more and even asked me to install it on her new laptop too after a yr of Windows 11 with nonstop popups for Office365, Edge and other useless crap she doesnt want. #opensource

I love hearing people say "I have nothing to hide" when you tell them about various #privacy and #security issues online. I always just say "Oh, you have nothing to hide? Can I have your login data for all of your accounts then, please?" So far, no one has agreed :(

I often find myself getting hyped about using a new #technology for #coding, so I sometimes have to stop myself to make sure I'm not getting distracted from actually getting work done, haha. It's just too much fun exploring new stuff. Do any of you have that problem? #programming #webdev #software

While I use #AI a bit myself, some people do overhype it a lot. You don't have to write half of your code with an #LLM to be productive. You're not "losing" if you write all of your code yourself. 1/2 #coding #programming #webdev

Finally rolling out our newly-rebuilt website after working on it with my colleague for over a year. Rebuilt all of the most essential functionality with #NextJS and .NET Core instead of .NET Framework. Can't wait to hear what our customers think (it's B2B, but still). #coding #programming #Csharp

I remember how, at the beginning of my #webdev journey, I was skeptical of people evaluating how good you are by the number of years you've worked, but I eventually came to realize it really does matter. It's true you can have years of experience and still suck as a developer, 🧵 #coding #programming

It's so disappointing that #Bluesky decided to make a brand new protocol instead of going with the established standard - #ActivityPub. I hope they at least make #ATProtocol interoperable with the #fediverse in the future.

Y'all should check out this video by @ryansolid.bsky.social explaining how rendering works in different #Javascript frameworks. I found it quite insightful, and I believe there is a lot of value in making this information more accessible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C-y... #coding #webdev #programming

This is a pretty good article! I second the sentiment from the Solid team that it unnecessarily dismisses server functions, but it's still a good read.

I feel like some people hate on #AI a bit too much. It doesn't have to be bad for the environment and collect tons of data. You can use #OpenSource models with #Ollama and run them locally on your own computer. 1/2 #LLM #coding #programming

I really don't get why people use #Vue, #Svelte or #Angular. I really don't like when frameworks try to almost come up with new languages for building UIs when we already have #HTML, and JSX is a good minimal abstraction over it. #coding #programming

I'm finally feeling in the zone, working on the migration of my backend from Nest JS to #NextJS server functions. Finally figured out elegant solutions for data fetching and mutations, authorization, validation, and error handling. The code base is so much nicer to work with already! #webdev #coding
