Wake up, babe. New Blue Marble photo just dropped. #Artemis

I'm published! Sorta :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I've had an execeptionally tough year. I have no income or health insurance, and could really use your help finding my next paid project. 💜 semanticfish.com/2025-year-in... Open to front-end, full-stack, design system, & accessibility projects. 10+ years experience. Many more details in post!

More chaos brings more power. More power brings more control. @switchangel.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWXC... The uncontrollable urge to give up everything you have going on and learn how to do this 🕺

My plants are starting to demand new furniture.

I've been dipping my toes into using background agents with Cursor and over the past couple of days I've gone back and forth on a small feature with it while I had a bunch of non coding tasks fill my days. I had to nudge it a few times, but I'm liking this use case!

My birthday is in November, BTW. I'll pay for shipping.

Nothing slows down my productivity more than having to hunt down TypeScript types in a library that aren't fully documented (looking at you @payload.dev)

New Cursor merch idea: A t-shirt that just says 'You're absolutely right to question this!' And another one that says 'Yes! That's exactly the right approach!' Heck, there's probably a t-shirt subscription model here for 'Things Cursor tells you so you don't rage at it and cancel your paid plan'.

Ask me how hit it is in London right now

Spotted infront of @amnestyuk.bsky.social in Shoreditch, London. Yes you matter.

This might be one of those 'if I don't understand what this means, then I don't need it' situations.

A little something I was involved with on the data engineering and analysis side @planetplay.com for @greatprojectgg.bsky.social and @undp.org

Me, when something doesn't work right away in a new framework.

I'm just a boy, waiting for fellow co-workers to notice me 😁

Okay, hear me out: What if you could like someone's like on a social media post? What if it were likes all the way down??

Would you pay five quatloos a month for an AI service that knows when to tell you 'Dude, this prompt is just not working, take a break and go for a walk!'?

Lukewarm take: A great use of AI in games would be to have shop vendors say completely new but contextual things every time you visit them. Assassin's Creed players know what I'm talking about!

There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who tell AI what to do and those who ask AI how to do it. Which one are you? #teamheyhowdoyoudothis?

TFW AI in your editor recommends more code and you're pretty sure it's wrong but there's still that tiny bit of doubt.

Beta for @drizzle.team Relations v2 API just dropped: github.com/drizzle-team... Been waiting for 'through' for many to many relation junction tables for a while!

Kids, remember to check in your code and try and do one feature per commit. Or don't and get yourself a weighted blanket. And drink water.

TFW, you wanted to get your day started, but also, there was hard to reach dirt on one of the keys and it all kind of got out of control.

A glimpse into a reasoning model, where deepseek-r1 talks to itself before producing a response for a lasagna recipe. 'So maybe I should...', 'I need to make sure...', 'That might be a nice touch', 'Wait, what about the structure?' etc. Fascinating!

That awkward feeling when you catch the LLM talking about you behind your back... but it's kinda flattering?

You've heard of tech debt? Let me introduce you to its more niche cousin TypeScript debt, where your code is full of any's and @ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error because you wanted Future You to deal with that and just crank out one more fun feature.
