Just entered the magical flow state where the code writes itself and bugs flee in terror 🤩

​Just kidding...
I spent 45 minutes hunting a bug. Such is the life of an indie dev - coffee and debating whether it's me or the engine that is broken 😂

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @danr.bsky.social on advancing the Array.prototype.pushAll proposal to Stage 1 today at TC39 🎉

It lets you append many items into an existing array without running out of stack memory 👍

❌ Risky: arr.push(...veryBigArray)
✅ Safe: arr.pushAll(veryBigArray)

Substack's Use of #AI report from July. Some interesting #insights here. Notably, AI assistants can offer #neurodivergent folks tools to confidently interact with others in more #neurotypical styles. Also note the #age of those using AI may not be what you'd expect.

This one is for pet parents giving #FurryBabies cosaquin to manage aches... I love to see applications of #AI that may actually benefit society.

If all they achieve is keeping #pets #healthier and #happier into their later years, this is likely to be a celebrated practical application.

I started a new hobby last November 2024 -- crocheting!

This was my very 1st crochet kit -- Ted the gingerbread man -- which I completed last November 2024. 🎉

Still a newbie but also made strides in a short time -- as you'll see by the photos of the other gingerbread I created only 1 month later!
