Weird how buying digital movies seems weird, and I try to avoid it, but buying Kindle books, I don't bother at all, even if they cost more usually

I immediately started playing with the idea of showing routes when hovering over HttpApi stuff.

Yay or Nay?

I adore the aesthetic of this video. Makes me want to do the same in my house, monochromatic furniture for each room

Why does it feel like that every time?

But opencode has plugins now, so they can be plugins

In the past few weeks, I started sharing a lot after a multi-year break
I'm having so much fun, and it keeps compounding.

For the last decade, I left comments with Spotify links in pretty much any codebase I worked on

Hey designers, this is YouTube

Technically the icon is more correct like this, but no matter how many times I see it, if feels wrong.

Una delle cose più dannose per la mia carriera è quando altri hanno iniziato a chiamarmi Senior, prima che io mi sentissi tale

La seconda è tutte le cose che ho avuto paura di pubblicare

Un video molto personale, che fin troppe volte è stato abbandonato. Ma ora basta 😵

I HATE TO LOVE EFFECT (and now I understand why)

If I were to give a talk about Effect, that would be the title.
