Is your website actually helping you get found, or just sitting there collecting digital cobwebs? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ  I build clean, no-BS websites for Cape Cod business legends who wanna stand out ๐Ÿš€ Ready to ditch the fluff? Hit me up ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ’ป

Another day, another damn supply chain attack. Guess Iโ€™ll be spending my afternoon playing Whereโ€™s Waldo with a worm ๐Ÿชฑ Shai Hulud Jr. or, if youโ€™re fancy, Shai Hulud 2: Electric Boogaloo. Exactly what I have planned for today!

Learning to code in 2025 isn't about becoming a human compiler ๐Ÿ’ป It's about gaining the foundational knowledge to direct AI tools effectively and turn any creative spark into a shipped product โœจ What I love most isn't the syntax part, it's building things and achieving results ๐Ÿš€

When you finally get Turbopack running on Next 16 and your build times drop from 93s to 55s ๐Ÿคฏ Yeah, it was a pain in the ass to get working. But honestly? I'll get that time back from saved build times in like a week. Not even mad about the minutes I lost before. Small joys in tech, honestly.

I thought animating with JavaScript would a nightmare, Then tried @greensock now Iโ€™m obsessed. Clouds, cards, you name it, this library can make it buttery smooth. ๐ŸŽ† If you want to level up your frontend, donโ€™t sleep on this. #frontend #webdev

The AI coding paradox is real ๐Ÿคฏ You need to know code deeply to actually leverage AI for building ambitious stuff. "Vibe-coding" and prompt engineering have limits. Understanding fundamentals is what unlocks AI's true potential.

Logan's 2025 "everyone loves coding games" prediction is cool and all, but let's be real. programming is still a grind ๐Ÿ˜‚ Drag-and-drop rules, sure, but try C++ and tell me it's all vibes ๐Ÿ’€ I love making code fun, but don't gloss over the struggle! ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ

Cape Cod's got mad charm, and your website should too! ๐Ÿฆžโœจ I build sleek, functional sites that help you stand out online. ๐Ÿ’ป Life's too short for boring websites! What you need is a website that actually feels alive.

Absolutely agree ๐Ÿ’ฏ Helps reinforce for normal people that AI can be dangerous, depending on who makes it ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป and how. A LLM made in America should know that Nazis SUCK!!! ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป But I guess not ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think one of the positive things to come out of Elon's Grok is that the public now understands that AI can be racist. I remember talking about that like 10 years ago and there being a lot of pushback to that idea, because people thought it would be a machine free of human bias

Guess who's back?? It's the Ladybug ๐Ÿž podcast! I'm stoked for a new season ๐Ÿฅณ

Hello friends! I have an exciting announcement: @ladybug.dev is coming back! ๐ŸŽ‰ @emmabostian.bsky.social and I recorded an entire season on engineering management and we canโ€™t wait to share with you. Weโ€™re still taking sponsors for 10 episodes if youโ€™re interested! www.ladybug.dev/sponsor-us

Hey @brianmc.bsky.social great show yesterday, a few quick Q's? 1. Umm are you saying DeepSeek can actually code now?? Cuz it has SUCKED until now ๐Ÿง if that's true. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป 2. Software is _already_ so buggy. Can you imagine how buggy it's going to be with just AI writing most of it? ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Q: How long do millions of women have to cry out in pain because of their doctors procedures, even though it's not necessary?? A: longer than anyone would believe. ๐Ÿคฎ WTF!!?! Another day, another example of OB/GYNs being skeezy. "Don't worry this won't hurt.." ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

NPR@npr.org

A major medical group now recommends pain-blocking treatments for IUD insertion and other procedures amid a growing recognition that women's pain should be treated.

Thanks Kevin, great job with this. I had been wondering myself what the output looked like ๐Ÿค” And woah that is *not good!* Unacceptable Figma to release a product with so little a11y compatibility ๐Ÿ˜ค NOT COOL! โŒ

Kevin Powell@kevinpowell.co

During my livestream yesterday, I talked about Figma Sites for a little bit. I've broken it off into a short, stand-alone video. I don't normally like bashing a company, but when a company of Figma's size makes a product this bad, I think it's important to call them out on it. youtu.be/ZsFIvULxkHI

This is exactly what I expect from doctors treating women with Endo ๐Ÿ’ฏ or just women in general ๐Ÿคฌ #endo #endometriosis Whoops I cut out your organs for NO good reason at all ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป Also you have cancer, try not to die ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ DO BETTER!!! people.com/woman-32-has...

Apparently in medicine "coding" relates to insurance billing codes ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ In this case NO computer code is written, even by a LLM! ๐Ÿคฏ Not the kind of coding I'm used to ๐Ÿ˜‚ The all female panel is awesome though! ๐Ÿ’– #endo #EndoSummit2025

So I'm attending my 1st medical conference, and there's a lot less talk about JS and the web ๐Ÿ˜† AI did make an appearance โœจ though ๐Ÿคฉ Endo Summit 2025 ๐Ÿฉบโš•๏ธ It's been great overall, I've learned a lot. A couple of heart breaking moments ๐Ÿ’” but that's #endo #EndoSummit2025 I'm pumped for day 3! ๐ŸŽ‰
