Haven't really been super bothered about local politics in the past but man this new R*form led council are actually going to destroy the town I live in aren't they 🙃

Unpopular opinion but No Heroes is the best Converge album 🤷

Building some greenfield things and no Next.js, it’s been absolutely delightful

Nagelsmann’s Germany. Vividly recalling @jonmackenzie.bsky.social videos where we draw 2 imaginary lines on the pitch

Imagine if Limp Bizkit had been given a James Bond film instead whatever the movie was

Imagine if your name was Claude

Hellscape aside, the "Oh well looks like I'll go and be a {insert manual trade here}" discourse must be a wee bit insulting to people who work in those trades. Just because it doesn't involve a computer, doesn't mean it's so easy anyone can do it.

Having a go at migrating a Next.js side project to TanStack Start. Relatively painless but my gosh there's a lot of filesystem noise for Start/Vite projects, further exacerbated by Tailwind 😩

I really like @astro.build, but it feels like every week I have to override another vulnerable dependency 😔 Really hoping it's the recent uptick in supply chain attacks contributing here rather than joining Cloudflare

10 years since I ran the London Marathon. Still think about when I was very close to giving up and a rando in the crow who shouted, "Mike you're making this look easy!". I don't think that person will ever know how important those words were to me!

what's the German word for finding out that 6 years ago, a 15th anniversary edition of an album you originally bought came out and now you feel old af

Age verification stuff surely can't be that complicated. If I have been a paying customer for 18+ years then surely you don't need to verify my age, right?

Am I extremely uncultured (yes) but is Angine de Poitrine basically Lightning Bolt but arguably not as good and 20 years later?

Today, in sub genres I never knew I needed so badly in my life: open.spotify.com/playlist/37i...

Does anyone know if it's possible to tell Spotify to only shuffle playlists and *not* albums?

My dream of being able to do my job on an iPad got a lil bit closer youtu.be/AphNalSmvlk?...

Worth the licence fee alone, just what I was looking for! github.com/bbc/sqs-cons...

Trying to hide my bitterness at not being at a music festival by watching it and declaring it unconsensual instrumentality AMA

Just bought the original Final Fantasy 7 for my 5th console AMA

Using bun in prod on a small, non-customer facing app. Holy smokes it's fast. It's 80 LoC with 100% test coverage and the CI completes in ~7s 🤯

After playing with the demo, all I can say is: hnnnnngggg

Slightly frustrating that Bun has no linter/formatter. Yes, there's Biome but I am not switching away from Node where I have a formatter set up, to set up another formatter. Deno _has_ a formatter but not too keen on the Postgres performance compared to Bun. Guess I'll stick with Node then 😒

Had to post this somewhere as I'm mega proud. Back in September I weighed 87kg - heaviest I've ever been. Wanting to arrest the slump I made a few tweaks to my diet and eating habits, and am now 77kg. I've set myself the goal of getting to 75kg so that I can start strength training again.

The parallel/intercepting routes functionality in Next.js definitely needs bottoming out from a docs PoV but just made the best bit of UI I've ever made using it 😍

Blood moon tonight, watch out for enemies respawning 💖

TL;DR - vitest is the nooch. Got a hella small TypeScript repo which I wanted to add some testing to. Trying to add jest was a bloody nightmare, saw a SO thread suggesting vitest and it just works. No config. No setup. Awesome.
