@syntax.fm @wesbos.com @aaronfrancis.com @tolin.ski Listening to your podcast and you guys talking about reflections and glare on your glasses. Try putting some polarized lenses or film in front of your cameras, it completely eliminates screen light. Ex) a.co/d/43evQwM

I’m speechless. Watching these arrogant, undisciplined, childish fools yell and threaten a legitimate hero on live TV is so fucked up. I hope the rest of the world sees it too.

Watching the US become a fascist oligarchy/autocracy is like watching a guy walk backwards all the way to the oval office, telling everyone around "I'm not breaking in, can't you see I'm facing the exit? Obviously I'm doing the opposite!" And everyone is too polite to stop it.

We've got a pretty snazzy "Hybrid" self hosted version of Approximated these days: approximated.app/self-hosted You can use the same cloud API endpoints and dashboard, but run traffic and SSL certs through your own infra instead of ours. Great for compliance and we'll set it up for free.

If you ever need help figuring out custom domains for your app, feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to help folks come up with a plan whether they decide to go with Approximated or not. I have lots of tips!

So many of my wins in dev (life?) are not me doing something smart, just doing something less stupidly

@aaronfrancis.com you could start a newsletter called Trying Times and the wordplay would be off the charts

@ash-hq.org is there a good YouTube video or something you'd recommend for getting the gist of Ash? I'm short on time over the holidays but I want to get a decent understanding of it before they're over.

I’m recording a @microconf.com @YouTube.com video next week filled with SaaS/micro-SaaS ideas. Any B2B SaaS add-ons or ideas you would like to exist in the world? I’ll mention you in the video if we use one you suggest 😉

Someone should do a hackathon with some devs using LLMs for coding/help and some not, just to see what happens.

General webdev tip: If you ever want to allow users to connect their own custom domains to your app, avoid JS that gets a tenant ID/slug/etc from the address bar (client side). Super common with frontend stacks, and it can make life difficult when you want to replace that with a custom domain.

Life would be a lot easier right now if every language had #erlang #elixirlang OTP

The fact that @coulb.com and @johnrudolphdrexler.com don't call their in-house product experiments "Thunkworks" is a little upsetting honestly

Anyone have any clever solutions to preventing registration spam for an app *before* sending out a verification email? For some people, getting that verification email sent out IS the spam attack they're hoping for.

If Elon was actually funny, he'd make a bluesky account and post "I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you here"

Ah #elixirlang NIFs. The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems.
