Bluesky finally supports Bookmarks 🎉

I’ll keep this service active and I’ll work on a tool that will let you migrate all your saved posts from Skymark to Saved Posts in the next couple of weeks so you don’t have to start from scratch.

Thanks for using this tool.
bsky.app Bluesky @bsky.app · Sep 8
v1.108 is rolling out today 🚚

Now live, at long last: Bookmarks, aka Saved Posts. For all those posts you'll definitely plan to come back to!

Update the app and give it a try. The button is right down there 👇

code is going to be 10x today 🧊
A home office workspace with a wooden desk featuring a dual-monitor setup. On the left is a laptop on a stand, and on the right is an external monitor displaying code. The desk has a black desk pad and includes a keyboard, a bowl of ice, and a banana. A gray office chair sits in front of the desk, and there's a warm accent light mounted on the wall. Above the desk is a wooden shelf supported by a metal bracket. The room has a calming green wall color that contrasts with the lighter wall on the left.

Why are there no good APIs to search for restaurants / check availability. I’m trying to teach Claude how to book fancy meals.

CI is having a bad day and can't decide what it wants to pass / fail
Diagram showing two different scenarios of CI job status transitions. In the top row, a green success icon (checkmark) is followed by a red failure icon (X), which then transitions to a green success icon. In the bottom row, a red failure icon is followed by a green success icon, which then transitions to another green success icon. This illustrates the pattern of inconsistent CI job failures that sometimes pass after being rerun.

What does your desk look like?
A desk setup featuring a MacBook laptop positioned on the left side next to an ultrawide monitor on the right. Both displays show dark-themed development environments or code editors with multiple windows open. Below the screens is a black keyboard with a trackpad. There's a dark mug or cup on the desk surface. The workspace is dimly lit with some ambient lighting visible on the wall behind the monitors.

Tailwind CSS has undoubted benefits, but they come with trade-offs — particularly in maintenance and scaling. We wrote down some things to consider when choosing Tailwind: measured.co/blog/tailwin...

Somehow managed to break intellisense so all 4 properties have a duplicated name 💀

Another satisfied customer.
Comment on my React Youtube video. Someone saying they are learning about the web via The Odin Project, which has a React module. They searched What Is React and my video came up. Now they say they are unhappy and confused.
