That's why I'm such a big fan of @hey_amandam, @nickytonline, @virtualized6ix, @dennisivy11, @hermes_f, and @amit. Not only are they really cool people, but they're also really good at technical topics and breaking them down for non-technical folks. Also, in an era of
Devs who write about their work/company; talk at conferences - lots of companies in the past used to not care much about this and not value it the least. Feels like the tide is changing: people who do this but are not valued get hunted down by companies who understand this value

So I built a 1984 Macintoshāinspired notes app in Xcodeā¦ in 2025. This started as a small ālet me see if I can recreate MacWrite for funā kind of project. Iāve always loved the original Macintosh aesthetic - the ruler at the top, the chunky buttons, the no-nonsense writing

Just found a tiny easter egg hidden in Claude Code commands list. Pretty sure that legally entitles me to a free @AnthropicAI sticker, right?

This is the kind of pushback and reasoning I want from AI tools. Not the sycophantic, feel-good āYouāre absolutely rightā nonsense. FWIW, this was Claude Code.

I tried an em-dash, and honestly, Iām impressed. The crazy part? It was a little wider than the regular dash.

I first saw Campfire in action in @dvassallo's @SmallBetsDotCom community, and it immediately felt like what a chat app should be - you own the data, no per-seat pricing, and fully customizable. Now it's free and open source. I made a short video showing how to get it running

Happy @hacktoberfest! The world is built on open source. From widely-used packages like @FFmpeg to crucial tools like @firefox and @reactjs, the web stands on the shoulders of open source giants.
