Once again @danabra.mov is able to take something extremely complicated and explain it as if it were the most simple thing in the world. What a great post 👏

A niche problem that I was facing at work lead to this little chrome extension that can copy cookies from your prod site to localhost for you

Never in my life have I seen a job advertisement scream “we want a data breach” like this one does. Surely it is not real getcoai.com/careers/vibe...

I just went on tiktok (I rarely do) but there was a noticeable lack of US content even for me

The last few weeks I've been deep diving into game development with unity. I'm not sure where this interest came from but it's quite enjoyable. I don't even mind the c# 😂

Sometimes I am in the middle of a big refactor and I think about what life was like before typescript, eslint, prettier and a bunch of other JavaScript tooling that I take for granted now. Wild. There is an entire class of problems I barely even think abut anymore 🙏 #typescript #eslint

yikes.

Lately I’ve started playing final fantasy xiv online. I’m not sure why I hadn’t played this game sooner but in the first couple of weeks that I downloaded the trial I’ve played something like 50 hours. I think it’s safe to say this is the kind of game I like.

Is it me, or is there basically no one posting on this app?

Interesting day today, these guys came posting in a slack channel that they were hiring engineers. They linked to their repo and asked others to check them out. Turns out the code they linked to was forked from a legitimate company and they had made a small change to inject some malware.
