This happens when I try to sign up for a gym membership. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

What's everyone's favorite tool to test API requests and calls?๐Ÿค” I've been using @getpostman.bsky.social and Insomnia in the past, but wanted to know if there's a new sheriff in town.๐Ÿค  (Bonus points if it's free)

Some solid coding in the morning with a cup of coffee and sun rays in the face. Isn't that beautiful?

I might have a dark tech thriller problem (these are by far not all of them). I blame it on @tomhillenbrand.bsky.social, Marc Elsberg, and the rest of them. (Recommendations for books still welcome; no, I donโ€™t have a problem; this is perfectly normal)

Have been searching for a tool to use for nicely animating coding examples. Stumbled upon Remotion over a video from @delba.bsky.social and decided to play around a bit and create a sample with it. The tool is quite cool. Has anybody else tried it? ๐Ÿค”

I'm setting up a new Mac from scratch, and these are my essential tools. What am I missing?

Working with @firebase.com extensions today. Just as an appreciation: The first time I encountered Firebase was quite some years ago, and it's crazy to see how much the tooling has improved over the years. Just having the CLI with the emulator is such a great win!๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸšŠWith the @deepseek.bsky.social hype train slowing down -let's build a REALLY useful project with it: an agentic RAG-chatbot using its R1 reasoning model on-device. It's using @streamlit.bsky.social and @langchain.bsky.social to chat with our Markdown documents.๐Ÿ˜ Full video in first comment.๐Ÿงต

Still going strong! ๐Ÿ’ช

Just stumbled upon this nice animation that I built with #SwiftUI. This is just a combination of basic views mixed with blurs, but I think the effect is quite impressive and fun. I wonder how well that would look with a proper canvas implementation...๐Ÿค”

I'm getting more and more consistent with my running training. I did intervals today (the goal is to have it once a week). ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I need to keep it up because I have a race coming up in June and want to push until then to reach my goal pace there. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผ

๐ŸšจIn this new video, we'll build a gesture detection app using vanilla HTML and JavaScript. With the help of Tensorflow.js, it runs 100% in the browser, and we can even define custom gestures.๐Ÿคฏ Video: youtu.be/pON_ftmsR40 Code: github.com/GetStream/te...

Okay, so this bad boy (M4) landed at my place today and I canโ€™t unpack it until Monday.๐Ÿ˜ฑ Has anybody ever encountered a more severe situation of tension and curiosity?๐Ÿ˜ค (If yes - please specify in the comments)

I recently started picking up meditation again. Been using Headspace for it (also tried out Balance a few years ago). I'm trying to establish it as a habit and routine. I'd love to know how others approach it. When are you doing it? Where? What specifically?

I look forward to trying out Image Playground with the latest macOS update. ๐Ÿฐ I was really excited about it (so much so that I built it on my own; see a link to how I did it in the first comment), and I finally got access. ๐Ÿฅณ

First book of 2025 in the books. ๐Ÿ“š Iโ€™ve read a lot of books from @tomhillenbrand.bsky.social and some of his tech thrillers are among my favorites ever. This one has been quite different but very fun and different to read, although a bit shorter and lighter. More reading works so far.

For the rest of the day, I get to work on a fun, challenging project (hackathon-style). My pick: Build an AI agent solving #AdventOfCode challenges. Tools: CrewAI - Orchestration Firecrawl - Crawling content Gemini AI - Coding Challenge Playwright - Browser interaction ๐Ÿงต

I've not been disciplined enough with my reading habits. But since I'm not fully healthy, I took the time to get started on this book.๐Ÿ“• I don't like these overly pushy productivity coaches, but this one from @aliabdaal.bsky.social might be different.๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป Has anybody read that already?๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿคฏ I'm beyond excited that the recording for my talk about "Building Apple Intelligence on our own" from Do iOS is finally available. I went the extra mile with the editing, and I think it turned out incredible.๐Ÿ˜‡ (let me know what you think ๐Ÿ’ญ) youtu.be/szTgl3rLDqY

November has been awesome. From quality time with the family to speaking at the Do iOS conference in Amsterdam, meeting old and new friends, being mindful and consistent with sports. I started picking up side projects for that #indiedev journey. Can't wait for December! ๐Ÿ‚โ„๏ธ

Really excited for the edit I did for my Do iOS talk.๐Ÿคฉ Took some time to make it look really cool with magnetic masks, transparency, and basically putting me in front of my slides.๐Ÿ˜Ž Canโ€™t wait to share that really soon.๐Ÿ”œ

I'm really not sure that I'm attracting the right target audience with my TikTok account...
