Anyone else at #aws reInvent?! I'm pumped for the new announcements. Aurora DSQL - a new serverless #postgres database offering!

Today I'm grateful for family, friends & loved ones.

Also: pie

GM #Bluesky Fam!

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to all of my American #crypto friends!

Where are you going to host the new setup, are you moving away from Vercel?

Ya, one of my devs got to a v10 on the free plan, but the code was all in one file. Most of the work was breaking code down into components. I'm going to try Bolt today.

Let me know how you like it. I'm going to give Bolt a try as well.

Have you tried v0 by Vercel? Curious how you think Bolt stacks up against v0.

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉

We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

Thank you for letting me know, will look into this ASAP!

Love the idea of a text option. Thank you!

Nice! What did you think? Too easy, based on it only taking 1 attempt?

Awesome job, glad you like it! Check back tomorrow for a new puzzle.

VERY interesting. On Win 11 Chrome it looks like this. We'll dig into it, thanks so much for your feedback and help! My son's going to love figuring out why his emojis aren't universal....NOT 😁

Hey thanks so much for this! May I ask, what device are you using?

Happy New Year! I'm teaching my son to code and we came up with something neat. You have to guess the meaning of the combination of emojis. One new puzzle each day. Good luck! - www.knowmoji.com

Incredibly detailed woodcut of a tabby cat asleep, curled up in a ball. It is highly stylized so the cat is almost perfectly circular in shape, forming a hypnotic ball of striped pattern that almost seems to undulate. The cat is snoozing peacefully while its bold tiger stripes and the perpendicular fine lines in between them put on a mesmerizing display.

Oh this made me LOL

Just learned about millionJS on the Syntax FM podcast. It seems to be a drop in package to speed up React rendering. Going to give it a shot on my next React project.

We have daily stand-ups and have some scrum-style ceremonies (although we aren't scrum). We struggle with the pre-dev process. Our PM builds requirements and works with design a LOT before devs write any code. I feel like we should start with a basic design/mockup and start coding immediately.

Absolutely! I'll check these out shortly. Thanks so much.

Looking for advice on agile software development! At my job we call ourselves "agile", but everything we do feels waterfall-y. Looking for courses or resources so we can shift the process.

ELON PLAN A: “If you pay $8, people are forced to see your racist replies first.”

ELON PLAN B: “Since normal humans keep blocking people who pay $8, you may now hide your check when posting racist replies.”

ELON PLAN C: “Nobody can be blocked unless they say where my plane is”

New: Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes, including this one. Five-second delays on links to Bluesky, New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay https://wapo.st/3OYfTa6

Honestly I never want to see the word "disrupt" used in the context of any specific industry because it inevitably means "destroy that sector's middle-class to more efficiently funnel money to the already-rich"
