Apropos of nothing, and as a moderator of the @codetv.dev Discord, I'm happy to announce an impromptu contest! We need you to draw the new CodeTV mascot: @jason.energy, in a Squirrel-style wingsuit. The sketch that gets the most faves, I'll buy a coffee or something.

LIVE! Developer communities are back (?)
I've been hearing a tone shift from tech companies lately, and it seems to me that developers are about to be a focus again. Let's talk about it, and what it might mean.

💜 incredible. "jitter" setting immediately made me want to figure out how to build my own, which I feel is the proper target outcome for a personal site feature

related to this: 2026 is going to be the weirdest one yet (positive) for CodeTV. big, fun, silly things in early discussions
if the discussions and calls I've been having lately are any indication, we're about to see significant renewed focus on developer communities. reality is setting in and companies are realizing AI is not a miracle; it's a tool, and tools are only valuable if and when people use them to build things

I survived! next long-haul flight I think I might swallow my pride and get a donut pillow or something because these airline seats are hell on a tailbone 😅
jet lag is keeping me awake until ~3am, so naturally I booked a flight that requires me to leave for the airport at 3:30am
hall of fame shitty travel decisions by me 😭

![Ana on stage. The slide is a “dear diary” log of questions to determine pain points:
- What is causing me to take longer to make a change?
- What normally comes back as a buy after we work [cut off]
- What do I dread to touch?

things to focus on to write better code:
1. approach async communication with brevity, clarity, and team-mindedness
2. give clear, actionable, solution-oriented feedback
