Looking at legislation from Canada, Spain... Guess this is what happens when folks just let kids have smartphones, no real idea what they’re doing, zero supervision from parents and then complain when they see something nasty on the internet 🤷‍♂️

Not saying that #vim might be a cult... but if it was, our robes could have some nice comfy hoodies.

By learning from what we're doing while remaining aware of the landscape, we can try to avoid getting stuck on local maximums world.hey.com/ricardo.tavare… 👈 These are my notes on product-minded #softwaredevelopment taken from "The Software Engineer's Guidebook" by Gergely Orosz.

Twitter: Like 90% of all JS is written in TypeScript Average support ticket: How do we use this lib without a build tool? How is it that tech Twitter and the real world are so misaligned?

Y’all podcasters on patreon need to move to ko-fi or something so you can get a bigger cut of my money.

Best one I've seen. 🤣🤣👏

Business models can make or break software. Apps like Slack or Trello were doing fine until they were no longer being made for their users, but for the people who pay for their enterprise pricing.

Techbros: have machines generate cheap eye candy just to get better reach on social media. Artists: immediately give these dumb generated images the title of “art”. Sure, eye of the beholder and anything can be art, but why start an already unfair match with an own goal?

Knowledge can be shared freely but it still can’t be gained for free. We often need to be exposed to a concept multiple times before finding some wisdom in it. Open information empowers people and creates opportunity to add value by helping them make sense of it.

Looking at keywords from #FOSDEM schedules since 2012 and I might put this on a repo for other people to play with as well. Curious to see how certain topics evolve, like what happened to #mysql recently.

I built a new tool! It's a single page web app that runs OCR against images and PDFs entirely in your browser (no file upload needed) using Tesseract.js and PDF.js You can drop files onto it, or you can click to select and open them (which works on Mobile Safari as well)

that’s what she serde #rust #rustlang #crablang

Context length for LLMs is going to the moon, but the real challenge is finding context when there is none. How to develop attention on top of a trusted platform. Self-hosted models seem to be the only ones we can have some real alignment with.

getting ready to #vim

Agile exists because people can work very hard implementing a feature that some client will feel is a bug. Waterfall exists because people have faith in rituals that allow you to read their minds and predict the future. Both can devolve into having no real communication.

the #PHP taught in high schools 🤜🤛 #SQL injection

Friendly reminder that only doing what people tell us to is the path that leads to sending account passwords through e-mail.

Kids having only a smartphone to learn how to code is how history repeats the ZX Spectrum 🤔😅 Is that progress?
