Adding complexity to a program is mainly done because multiple people work on the code. The hard part is keeping the program as simple as possible while still having high developer productivity. I always compared programs to black boxes I wrote about on my blog: primalskill.blog/the-black-bo...

Most of your 30s and 40s are about buying all the things your parents hadn't bought you when you were a kid and now having the financial possibility to do so to re-live your childhood. That's why fashion and products are cyclical, for example, 90s fashion having a comeback.

I love and hate the fact that every development tool uses Discord as their forum nowadays.

Windows was, is, and always will be weird.

As we encounter more and more artificial intelligence, real intelligence, real empathy, and real common sense will be scarce. -- Satya Nadella

Image support is notoriusly bad in #Go

Making my iOS screen completely B&W was the best thing I did in the last year or so. No more of those red notification circles. No more diistractions on the UI. I also disabled all my notification popups and sounds from every app.

Once every decade, Tim O’Reilly has the ability to nail it on the head with his articles, just like with Web 2.0 www.oreilly.com/radar/the-en...

Somebody tell Musk that we already have an "everything app" and it's called the browser.

Keyboards are still the best input device for interacting with a computer. I have an entire collection but my daily driver is a HHKB Professional Classic (shown in the image). If you are curious here's a playlist I created where I showcase my keyboards: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Is there any image encoding technology that lets you show images on your website but "poison" #AI image generators if they train their algo on my content? At this point, I'm willing to do it, because let's be honest, robots.txt was never working and everybody knows that.

The biggest innovation in web development is happening on the CSS side.

The hardest part in web development is answering why things are happening the way they are. The experience you have vs your customers are having is almost always totally different.

The best era of the Internet ended at around 2008

The most annoying thing about VSCode is that one day, after an update, it decides not to work at all...

I have a mini #Go group on daily dev if you want to join dly.to/GIpgZwD58dD I share mostly mid- to advanced-level resources there.

E-mails can contain multiple @ symbols. Most of the e-mail validations on the Internet are broken. The only true way of checking if an e-mail is valid is by simply sending an e-mail and waiting for a success/error response.

I have worked with PostgreSQL since 2014 and every day I discover new things and every day it surprises me.

New RubyGems release

Developing locally with HTTPS enabled solves many problems that would arise in production otherwise.

Discord feels awfully a lot like IRC but with more modern bells and whistles.

The sad truth is that StackOverflow was dying long before the rise of LLMs.

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g. - Small changes - Test that the change works before moving on - (unit) tests wherever you can

So what's the "2025-way" of building a #JavaScript #SPA with #React without using a full framework like Next.js? I used to use #Webpack for bundling and PostCSS for styles. Is a bundler even necessary in 2025?

Sad to see my Twitter account go. I had it since 2007. I even had a small chat about it initially with Biz Stone when the platform was called Twttr. I realize it's not the platform I signed up for in 2007 and I no longer enjoy visiting and contributing on X. #DeleteTwitter #DeleteX

When I see websites like this www.drchip.org/astronaut/vi... reminds me why I fell in love with the Internet some 30 years ago.

I know it's a low quality, SEO targeted tutorial when there's a "Conclusion" section at the end of it. Cherry on top if the Conclusion section starts with the sentence "There you have it."

You DO NOT need #Go #concurrency most of the time, but it can have a big impact when you need it. For me, it reduced 9 hours of data import to 25 minutes.

Making the World a better place is soooo last year.

Learning programming is like learning to cook. If you only follow recipes without understanding the fundamentals, you will only be able to make those specific dishes, often ending up with dull food.
