Every time I open the Analytics app, I just type “anal” so it shows up first. Somewhere at Apple, a data scientist is either confused, amused, or filing a report.

I’m noticing hustle culture bleed into corporate life. What used to drive side gigs now drives teams - optimizing for speed and cost over thoughtfulness and depth. Curious how this plays out when companies trade meaning for margins.

Encountered this question in a job application process. It's really hard to answer this one if you're always right... 😁

Shipped a package today. Apparently it weighs 1.5750000000000000002 kg.
Not 1.57. Not 1.575.
But 1.5750000000000000002.

It's a walk down memory lane

Just submitted a new version for Frameapart

I wanted to release it earlier so it could be ready for Christmas, but it is what it is

Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadil live-streamed a concert on Wednesday from Tehran - defying Iran's ban on women singing solo and the requirement to wear a hejab.

Her stream gained 1.4 million views.

She has now been arrested by Iranian authorities. Her lawyer does not know where she is being held.

Is indie hacking not compatible with software craftsmanship?

Yeah, sounds about right

Recently fixed an issue on frameapart.app.link/BGNn8GaE9kb

Because of my use cases I sometimes end up fixing bugs on OSS software. I make sure to actually fix the origin source and not just solve the problem for myself.

Added wide camera support by alex-trandafir · Pull Request #12 · yonat/CameraBackground
Added wide camera support (so 0.5 zoom level). Also solves #7 Exposed a function which needs to be manually called from the project (or if there is a better solution for this I can remove that)__

This is the coffee travel kit.

The aeropress is amazing, it gets flavors out of coffee that the espresso machine just can't. I don't like the plastic though, and I didn't find a glass version of it.

Making some changes to frameapart.app.link

Previously you couldn't recapture photos taken with the wide angle camera. Actually you couldn't zoom in or out at all.

I'm a backend guy by day, don't hate on the UI 🫣

How do we feel about KYC on social media?

Context: using bots and exploiting TikTok algorithm an unknown candidate won the presidential 1st round in Romania (there is still a chance he will lose in the 2nd run) by gaining a lot of unfair exposure. 👇

That's the stuff.

I also remember simulating fouls on FIFA 98 using ctrl+Q 😅
Who remembers running away from the ref on FIFA? 😂

I need this!
In 1959, a coffee maker was an optional extra in #Volkswagen cars.

The Hertella Auto Kaffeemachine was the first and only known dashboard-mounted coffee maker.

Manufactured in 1959 specifically for the Volkswagen Beetle, it came with porcelain cups that could stick to the machine magnetically!

Created a starter pack for people who work full time jobs by day and are startup founders by night.

Let me know if you'd like to join by liking, reskeeting (reposting lol) and commenting on the industry you work full time in and the industry your startup is in.

Took this FrameApart using frameapart.app.link a couple of years ago while camping with my van at Mount Etna in Sicily.

Instead of working on my digital products, my weekend was spent tackling some DIY! Added wood paneling to the balcony—feeling pretty proud. Does this count as #buildinpublic? 😅
