Por aquí no lo había puesto aún, y me haría ilusión llegar a 100 subscribers antes de fin de año: si no tienes suficiente con las estupideces que digo aquí, tengo un canal en Telegram donde comparto las cosas que voy encontrando por el mundo (sean naranjas o no)

My hot take about working with LLMs for coding is that it’s a pretty poor substitute of pairing with a good developer (I’ve been lucky enough to pair with smart, intelligent, fun devs). To use a coffee analogy: LLMs are like instant coffee. Can do the job, but it’s not the same as the real thing.

Current state: waiting for Google to approve my app: undia.naranjanaranja.org

Fun fact: you can now run Android apps, natively, on macOS. A different question is *why* you’d want to do that, but I’m happy to report my (in progress) note taking app for Android works untouched on my Mac…

My secret plan of contributing something to all design tools known to man is progressing, slowly but surely: superlinea.app/changelog/0....

*Of course* I had to adopt this color names.color.pizza/color/safety...

I think my design career can be summarised as “a very long (unsuccessful) attempt to convince clients to use old style numerals on their app / website / service”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_fi...

I’m enjoying reading on repeat this sentence I just wrote: “Javier Arce is working on an illustration app"

If you have an old Apple device doing nothing on a drawer, maybe you can get some new life out of it with this nifty tool:

Not gonna lie, this short talk hit me *hard*, in a very nice and wholesome way: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um0x...

I think I’ll call this feature “Productivity Russian Roulette”:

Do you use a DJI mic on your computer, and hate that you have to use their 2 Gb, mobile-only app to manage its settings? Today is your lucky day, then: github.com/ShadowBitBas...

And it keeps growing 😭 drewdevault.com/weird-guys/

Looks like I’ve found the holy grail for self-hosted ebook collection: bookorbit.app It’s beautiful, works great, easy to run with Docker Compose, and integrates nicely with Readest and KOReader.

I made a bunch of icons for my personal music playlists, and I can't stop looking at them 😚

Next time you’re tempted to loudly complain about gig workers and the vehicles they use, make yourself a favor and read this piece for context (and train your compassion a bit): www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/how...

Can we *please* get YouTube to redirect all manosphere videos to this guy’s channel? Positive masculinity at its finest:

A nice reading list if you want to put your designer skills to work for the greater good:

Random shit I was not expecting to be reading about today: junior Japanese bikes from the 70s

This is the wildest headline you’ll see this week (and if it’s not, *please* share that with me because this one sets a pretty high bar)

🤩🤩🤩

I’m 100% sure @aresluna.org is going to love this. Gates (who makes a belt transmission for bikes) has an app that uses the phone mic to adjust the belt tension like a guitar tuner: www.gates.com/us/en/knowle... It’s a genius way of solving a pretty complex problem!

The description for this job position on LinkedIn is a great summary of the current state of the tech industry:

I hope you don’t have anything important to do today before clicking this link (new word puzzle from Wordle’s creator)
