So we've gotten outages from a lot of the big players so far: AWS, Azure, Cloudflare.

Now I need a Google Cloud outage to complete my bingo card!

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Proverbs 19:21 ESV

Man, is this so true. Especially in my life.

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

Successfully setup a home server with Proxmox, AdGuard Home, and an Omarchy container. That was a lot of fun! Next thing I wanna do is connect a bunch of drives to the micro PC that its running on and set up a NAS.

Made a new blog post about #Omarchy and why I like it so much! Go check it out!

Preface: I started in coding 2016 in uni and got diagnosed with ADHD in 2023.

I absolutely love this video and the clarity it has brought. It perfectly sums up so many of the thoughts and experiences I've had since I started coding. I just feel so seen having watched it.

don't let perfect be the enemy of good

Just thought I would put this out there since Reddit and GitHub weren't that helpful to me 😅

To show .dotfiles by default in LazyVim's explorer, neo-tree, open this file
~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/neo-tree.nvim/lua/neo-tree/defaults.lua

and set the option `hide_dotfiles = true` around line 524

Recently decided to try #Omarchy on my spare Thinkpad and I'm actually having a ton of fun with it! It really feels like a batteries-included Arch distro built with devs in mind.

It's got a lot of sensible defaults and the docs are a huge help. I'm excited to actually keep using it!

Been at Amazon for almost 4 months now. For the most part, I genuinely do enjoy the work that I do as a front end engineer and I am incredibly grateful for this job. Though I will say that working on corporate code is definitely not the most fun thing in the world.

Just realized I've had my laptop for over 3 years now. M1 still going strong!

I've known about that `Array.at()` method in JS for a while and it lets you use negative indices like in Python. It's super convenient to not have to do myarr[myarr.length - 1] to access the last element. Instead doing `myarr.at(-1)`

I really enjoyed this video by Kyle from WebDevSimplified on YouTube about a possibly better way to structure your projects.

Normally, you have code separated by what it is. Like components, utils, api, permissions, etc.

But in this video, Kyle describes an alternative.

I wanted to try out @deno.land for a really basic project so I spent around a day and built this URL shortener with Deno, Hono, and Vite! Very pretty styling courtesy of picocss.

Finally, it's hosted for *free* on Deno Deploy!

Reading through passed TC39 proposals and it's actually kinda fun! It's super interesting to see how people contribute to the evolution of JavaScript and how those contributions make it from a proposal to the actual browser

I am not a failure.
I am not a fake.
I am not an impostor.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength.
I have been given a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.

All things work together for good for those that love God.

Let's go! TailwindCSS 4.0 now out of alpha and into beta!

Too much narcissism and bots on tech Twitter. Hopefully BlueSky is a bit better :)
