Clocks went forward today. I use the change in daylight savings as a reminder to also check the batteries in your smoke alarms.

In the world of electronic music, Royksopp are extremely underrated. I'm very much enjoying their Profound Mysteries series - the Ambient Excursion is just brilliance! Listen to this if you like Leftfield, Orbital, Aphex Twin, Jamie XX etc #Royksopp #ElectronicMusic #ListeningTo

Benefits of working from home number 23: Playing an LP whilst working. (AKA playing a vinyl record to those not familiar with ancient music format terminology) #WorkingFromHome #music #ListeningTo

Busy building a coffee shop this evening.

For the UK #FormulaOne fans...

How bloody annoying! Wordle 1,370 6/6* 🟨🟨🟨⬛🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Some exciting news - @emmabostian.bsky.social and I just wrapped up recording for a new season of @ladybug.dev! This new season is all on engineering management! We're editing now, so stay tuned for a launch date. We're excited to be back in your ears soon!

It's all gone quiet in the #WordPress world. Has Mr Mullenweg been locked in a room or something?

Chrome has automatically disabled the Xdebug Helper :( I'm assuming you're aware of this @derickr.phpc.social.ap.brid.gy ?

I'm watching Notting Hill for the first time ever and oh my how dull is it? An hour in and zzzzzzz

Can anyone give me a good reason why hitting a paginated API endpoint with an OPTIONS request, couldn't return the paginated metadata, without the results? It makes sense, right?

Yes! @obsidian.md can now show the current active document in the files view!!! I've needed this for so long.

Happy (TB) 303 day! #303Day

Spring has sprung in the UK! Feels like we've had a year of continuous grey skies and drizzle. So so good to get a bit of fresh air and sunshine!

OMG how good is @neovim.io with LazyVim ?!?!?!? So simple to get up and running with a Laravel / React project.

Just published a little article on hot reloading your browser without the need for Javascript.

If you are a Science Fiction fan, especially an older Science Fiction fan, you should know why this sculpture is in Woking town centre. #HGWells

I think every #F1 driver should swear like theyv'e stumped their toes on the bed, in every race. What would happen if all drivers were given a race ban for the same race?

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

Last night I spent the evening building a wysiwyg drag n drop page builder with Google Gemini. I did no coding, just asked Gemini and copy/pasted. I'm impressed - it mostly works. Lots of trouble with positioning the components when dropped onto the canvas which I need to fix myself.

2,788 tests (Laravel codebase)take ~7 mins on Mac Air M2, running on Herd with brew MySQL. Dockerised, nginx/PHP/MySQL; takes ~40 mins. WTF?

FFS Facebook. When I tap 'all comments' on a post I want to see all comments, not 3 and then have to tap 'see previous replies' 5 times. Especially on a post that has less than 20 comments.

It's DubTech Tuesday!! #ListeningTo #MusicToCodeTo www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HHc...

Today, whilst working, I am mostly #ListeningTo Streetsound's Crucial Electro and Hip Hop Radio. www.streetsoundsradio.com/player_cruci...

I hereby wholeheartedly and unashamedly announce that I love, and am hopelessly in love with my wife Amy. She's my power source. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #ValentinesDay
