Don't hesitate to DM me if you have feedback on our latest update. Anything we can do to help people prioritize repair over replacement is always a win.

Want an "AI" idea that doesn't suck? And it's not even really AI but who cares.

All browsers should come with local embedding APIs defined on the window object.

Democratize semantic search.

@mozilla get at me.

Does anyone find it funny that #react2shell is peak irony of frontend developers thinking they can reinvent the backend?

I'm convinced that the #rust hype train is a means to wrest control of business critical apps from the #opensource community to proprietary source startups.

Software is a liability not an asset. Don't fall for the hype. Trust in your experience.

This is a public service announcement: one of the best things you can do for your loved ones is set up a living will.

It's only been a few days since we launched The Repair App. The initial feedback we've received has been overwhelmingly supportive. Though lots of work remains.

The most interesting item needing repair was a a Nakamichi Dragon. A hi-fi cassette deck! Finding repair shops that can fix this kind […]

Finding out that agentic #ai is nothing more than a fancy if/else statement is like finding out Santa isn't real. You still get presents but the magic is gone.

Watch AI turn into the corn industry. We'll be drinking an ungodly amount of high fructose AI syrup in no time.

#rails developer pro tip. If you need to validate email addresses, no need to crawl the internet.

Just use `URI::MailTo::EMAIL_REGEXP`

Sucks being a solo dev sometimes. No paternity leave. Irony is that the only software outage I've had in the past 2 years was caused by another company.

Just this week Cloudflare and Heroku had catastrophic outages. Last month, UPS quietly made breaking changes to their API. Month before that […]

I love the way the Balatro creator LocalThunk thinks 🤣

Labor is the most expensive part of repairs.

The Repair App we're working on depends on being low cost because repairs are already too expensive.

Now that #rails v8 has folded caching, queueing and pub/sub into the db and removed the need for redis, my favorite framework is even easier […]

New wiki just dropped and looking for contributors. Courtesy of the Louis Rossmann Repair Group.
