Used to think you'd need to "move fast" and "just ship"™, as an one-developer product start-up. Turns out moving fast is a byproduct of really knowing your s#it and by having a strong foundation – both take time.

My old self knew magic tricks that my current self forgot about.
Noisia + Code. There's no better combo.

Hi @expo.dev I love you!

Timezones. Either you love them or you're up for some shenanigans.

Never ever, by no means, stop learning!

Leaning onto product engineering, as a good software engineer, will unlock tons of opportunities. Being a great software engineer alone won't scale your product.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

New post 🎉

Going back to my roots on writing about the inner workings of things, a breakdown of key-value databases and how you might make one from scratch:

If we're having a debate, and at any point you say, "let's ask ChatGPT", then you lose by default.

1/ 🚨 We just found a massive abuse of the npm ecosystem:

• Targeting 135+ orgs worldwide 🤯
• 175 malicious npm packages (26k+ downloads)
• 630+ HTML lures
• Weaponized unpkg as free CDN hosting for credential-phishing attacks

👀 More details ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A phishing attack is going on against maintainers on @npmjs.bsky.social, be aware!

- email is spoofed from npmjs.org (which doesn’t use DMARC but redirects to npmjs.com)
- login link points to npnjs(dot)com (clear giveaway)

Not fun. But the product is free, so expected.

Starter kits might be useful, but the maintenance cost might not be worth it.

Makers, I bet most of us hit that plateau where your idea doesn't feel attractive/useful anymore. How do/did you overcome it? #founders #developers #makers #product #software

Hono is an absolute joy of a framework! Tiny yet effective.

Might start building in public, at some point. This post should remind me about *really* starting that.

No one:
Me: I should start a new project
The rest of the ongoing projects: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFU

@saewitz.com nails it!

Developers: we should come up with a name for when you try to relax by playing a game, but that game gives you inspiration for work. Is this the vicious developer's cycle?
