Market research!

How often do you use one of those "what is my browser" websites (personally or sent to someone)?

Would you use one that isn't littered with ads or has a design from 1995? What features should it have?

What if you could also use it to collect info to emulate devices in Polypane?

This was beautiful. Have a watch if you haven't yet seen it.
I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

Honored to have been able to share the MCP server I've been working on last night at "A Night of AI" hosted by @dthompsondev.bsky.social and @thisdotlabs.bsky.social

The whole event was packed with value and tons of great people showed up. I met so many new tech friends.

Okay calling @henrihelvetica.bsky.social or any dev runners.

My knees keep giving out less than 2 miles into runs.

Give me all your favorite weight lifting exercises to improve this.

Not trying to run marathons but would like to be able to handle a chill 5k+ again

Tried Apollo MCP Server (www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-...) with the Confetti (github.com/joreilly/Con...) GraphQL backend....and hooked in then to Claude Desktop. Very easy to setup!

What does it say about me that when I could build anything, I started with natural disasters?

I've been having so much fun heads down building and learning here @apollographql.com and I'm excited to start sharing that journey with all of you.

Yaaaay! So excited y'all are back at it. Can't wait
Hello friends!

I have an exciting announcement: @ladybug.dev is coming back! 🎉

@emmabostian.bsky.social and I recorded an entire season on engineering management and we can’t wait to share with you. We’re still taking sponsors for 10 episodes if you’re interested!

@renderatl.com is one of the best conferences. If you are able to make it, reach out to Ashley. It is worth your time to "be in the room" there.
✨ I’ve got a couple of extra General Admission tickets to @renderatl.com and I’d love to give them to folks who might not otherwise get a chance to go.

If you’re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!
