@iamcoreyg.com the scroll animations on your speakflow mobile site are great. Really polished.

Today on #electron side project: Successfully got programmatically generated JavaScript and Python functions to execute via child processes and PASS DATA TO EACH OTHER and also pass end result AND LOGS back to the render process. Let’s go!

Here’s a fun one. Which code repository/framework/project has your favorite logo of all time. Mine is #bower

I feel like there is a lot of pressure to code things really quickly and skip over a lot of details now as people rush to MVP. A lot of times this is a mistake. Setting a solid foundation for an app and making good architecture choices at the start saves time in the long run.

Turns out that if you want to recreate AWS Step Functions locally (super fun), you first have to recreate Lambda locally (less fun).

@sebastienlorber.com just wanted to let you know that I use a very swizzled docusaurus for my personal website ncoughlin.com , even made a small contribution to the repo. Thanks for your work on this.

@monitorbolt.bsky.social a bit of friendly feedback. What kind of jobs and tasks am I monitoring here? Marketing tasks assigned to users? DevOps automations? Hard to tell if I’m your target audience.

Everyone listen to me. If your local meteorologist uses the term “atmospheric river” think about the most amount of rain you’ve ever seen and then double it. If that’s gonna be a problem for you go out and buy sandbags and a utility pump. Heed this warning.

My Traeger just stopped working and I need to pay $200 to replace the computer unit on it. I’m seriously questioning why it’s necessary for a smoker to have WiFi right now. IoT was such a mistake. Will be disassembling to see if I can fix.
