Web developer, emigrant, nerd, pun-creator. Bleeting about code and miscellaneous distractions I find while I'm building internet things. Probably more optimistic than I should be, but I don't think that's a problem 🗩 they/them 🌐 https://andribraun.dev

Sometimes AI is smart. Other times, it wants to use a switch statement to convert an aspect ratio from 16:9 to 56.25.

Pro(grammer) tip: naming all your variables in complex functions with just one letter is super cool and will make other programmers respect you. Why name something "indexOfSymbol" when you could instead name it "p"? Assigning the value of an input? How about "nm" instead of "inputValue"?

this is how i know the CIA is not what it used to be because they killed JFK for less than this.

Just started using Cline (cline.bot) last week and it's basically the missing piece of GitHub Copilot! I know Copilot has an agent mode behind the insiders build of VS Code, and I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the release, but Cline has been super pleasant to use so far.

OMG the Doge.gov website has an unsecured database that anybody can push updates to Yeah that makes sense actually

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

This track is 5 years old, but the lyrics are about human roles being automated away and corporate overlords destroying progress... sound familiar? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX8V...

i’m way too excited about a bluesky-based instagram replacement. i just really want musk / zuckerberg / all evil rich billionaires that control all online spaces to lose everything

Reposting so I can save this for when I need it :D

Someone has apparently redirected one of Musk's DOGE developers' former websites to a YouTube video about how Musk is plotting to destroy America, and I'm here for it. abobba.com

Holy shit. It's gone. www.usaid.gov

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

I've lived mostly outside of the U.S since 2015, and I'm fairly up-to-date on places to go and the logistics of doing it. If anyone has questions about getting out, I'm happy to help!

Just set up the Bun runtime and set up a SvelteKit project with it in less than 10 minutes. Very curious to see how Bun stacks up!

This season of the show is getting a little out of hand. Like, really, "the global resurgence of fascism" again? I was already having trouble following the "big war", "AI revolution", and "intentionally ignored climate disaster" storylines. At least we mostly wrapped up "weirdly political pandemic"

Being kind is usually free. A lot of the time, it's literally just doing nothing instead of doing something that hurts another person.

Super excited for Bricks Builder 2.0 to come out! The component system is going to make building WordPress sites that much closer to a React/Svelte/[insert framework here] experience. bricksbuilder.io/the-road-to-...

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Being a solo dev on a complex app without having direct access to the deployment pipeline is... difficult. I know, security is important, but it's so nice being able to pop right into an Azure app and see the log stream.

stairway: to heaven❌ highway: to hell❌ midnight train: goes anywhere✔️ FACT: trains are the superior transport option

Today's etymology nerdery happened while looking up something else. The word 'gas' as we currently understand it appears to have been a mangling of the Greek for 'chaos'. And I can confirm when I have gas, it gets chaotic indeed 😜 www.etymonline.com/word/gas

Obviously, "bleet" is the superior term for posts on Bluesky, but I'm also willing to accept "BS".

Is there some kind of unwritten rule that all murder mystery party game websites have to look kind of bad?

Holy shit y'all, I just used Midjourney's edit tool to add a sunset, make a picture wider (by adding more content), and change my shoes. Absolutely bananas.

Friends, fellas, democracy defenders, fighters for freedom, We need your support, Georgia’s freedom needs your support!🇬🇪🇪🇺 “THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE REGIME IS INFORMATION” Let the world see this!👇 THANK YOU!🙏💛 #TerrorInGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests #NAFO #Fellas #NAFOarticle5 bsky.app/profile/did:...

After spending a bunch of time fighting with an outdated server and an old version of Interworx, working with a new server and a fresh cPanel install feels like the sun finally came out and I can be happy again :D

The number of GoDaddy accounts I have delegate access to is too damn high. What is it about this pretty shit registrar that all my less tech-savvy clients seem to love? Do they just have the biggest marketing budget?

This is one of the more surreal things I've read recently, and I'm currently in a country where a Russia-leaning government is tear-gassing people on a nightly basis www.reddit.com/r/korea/comm...

JUST IN: the regime police planted Molotov cocktails at the UNM Youth Office, and will be charging some of the members with several years in prison. Like those who would actually make Molotovs would keep them at party offices! #GeorgiaProtests

This is some fascist shit

God I love WSL2 so much

Rebleeting so I remember to solve this mystery

Completely obsessed with this song right now. Just vibes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd_p...
