Really enjoying the fact i can just give a coding agent access to an aws cli/cloudflare account and have it setup a s3 static site in five minutes.

dangerous af though 😅

claude code is wonderful at coming up with domains and then checking to see if they are available using cli tools.

just don't download a domain registration mcp server 😅

How many projects do you have that are exactly like this on your hard drive? #buildinpublic

My new favorite prompting technique.

Reminding claude that if it doesn't do a good job we can't afford to feed the dog 😁

Hard to believe there isn’t a Node.js full-stack framework built around dependency-free installation.

Migrated to an Elixir Phoenix LiveView monolith from a Nuxt UI + Phoenix backend for WallStRank.com, and holy smokes, the DX is now perfect!! 😍

Video is from halfway around the world from where the servers are deployed, and I think perf and interactions are pretty great!

I haven't touch ruby or rails in about ten years since I went all in with #elixirlang.

I just watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcwz... and it truly brought back excitement for that ecosystem.

The killer thing that isn't released yet is replicated sqlite. Really looking forward to that.

In episode 199, we'll unlock the power of LiveView's Portal component and 'teleport' a LiveComponent to create a sleek, real-time album search modal.

This is kinda interesting: A team of 4 can create so much code it's impossible for a lead to review.

ai girlfriend that has loot box mechanics... this it the most disturbing idea i've ever heard, but on the flip side it's a billion dollar idea.

🎮 I’m starting a “Let’s Code” series where I build a procedural ARPG in Zig with raylib.

I just put up a short intro video - early systems, and where it’s headed.

I’ll be sharing code-focused videos soon.

skill issues are the best kind of issues to have as a programmer.

they mean there's room to grow, improve, and learn something new.

any project large enough and old enough that is written in #elixirlang contains all of the http clients 😅

technical debt isn't poorly designed software.

it's well designed and intentionally incomplete software that solves today's problem with the resources that you currently have.

Not disappointed.

Because I can use it I my pretty GPU accelerated text based terminal and the loading animation is cute 😁
