The Qwen team just released their new reasoning model, Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507, with incredible, SOTA-competitive performance

Using GitHub Spark to reverse engineer GitHub Spark GitHub Spark was released in public preview yesterday. It’s GitHub’s implementation of the prompt-to-app pattern also seen in products like Claude Artifacts, Lovable, Vercel v0, Val Town Townie and Fl...

GitHub released Spark yesterday, their extremely well crafted prompt-to-app platform for creating and iterating on React apps with user auth and persistent storage

I like it a lot! I reverse engineered it with Spark itself, the details are fascinating simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/24/...

New @expo.dev example: graphQL server and client with ✨automatic type generation✨!

🧘‍♀️ GraphQL Yoga - server
💜 URQL - client
🎉 gql.tada - type generation
☁️ EAS Hosting - for API & web deployments

Gotta say, @zed.dev edit prediction model is so slick. The quality of their software keeps me waffling between them and Neovim every few months.

Man, I just love modeling state in @svelte.dev 🧡

- State vars are just properties on a class
- Complex values, like this cursor position, can be $derived from other state. Svelte figures out when to recompute
- Go-to definition shows all the usages of that state too

Excited to have contributed to making this one of the #1 go-to resources for modern React developers.

🚀 Big news! I was one of the technical reviewers for the book Learn React with TypeScript, published by Packt, and it hit number 1 on Amazon!

This book is a practical, modern guide for building robust React apps with the power of TypeScript 🧵

Design to code has seen significant upgrades due to the growth of AI-powered vibe-coding tools.

In this detailed comparison, I did a head to head comparison of Anima Playground and Figma Make using the same Figma designs and prompts.

See the results

Wow, a NEW GTA 6 trailer released today 🤩

Just hit a new milestone, being journaling for 1500 consecutive days 🔥🔥🔥

That length is approximately:

- 49.29 months
- 214 weeks, 2 days
- 36,000 hours
- 2,160,000 minutes
- 129,600,000 seconds

Testing some different AI tools this month.

April, super busy month.

May:

- More articles
- More content
- More coding
- More projects

Building apps has always been fun but so much more with all these new platforms, tools, frameworks and AI assistants.

Gemini 2.5 Pro, is so good at coding.

Technical writing opens so many doors.

Life before AI: Productive
Life after AI: Super productive

Lead generation week lots happening.

Is there a better design tool than Figma? It replaced Photoshop as my favourite design tool.

Writing code without AI is a superpower.

Writing code with AI is a superpower.

Been doing my best work on a Mac for years.

Been using Windsurf exclusively for the last few projects. Still a fan of Cursor and VS Code though.

PostgreSQL still my favourite type of database.

So many fun projects on localhost:3000

Grinding this month:

Coding: 50%
Writing: 40%
Socials: 10%

My latest freeCodeCamp article is a pretty hot topic on daily . dev 🔥

More AI models to test later 🤩

Gemini excels at a lot of coding tasks and Claude does so with others. It’s like working with two extremely skilled developers.

Coding day moved an old create react codebase to Next.js
