How about I don't do that, but let my good friend S.P. Amfilter handle your important unsolicited missives, and you get fucked instead

I've just released an update to my #LinearApp CLI tool, Linearis.

v2025.11.1 brings support for file embeds! Downloadable URLs of screenshots & files embedded in #Linear issues (and comments!) are now part of the JSON result (`linearis issues read …`). Good for you, good for your #agent 😉 […]

Service-Toot: Die Domain `IrgendwasMit.Computer` ist noch frei, und ich wünschte, ich hätte die Möglichkeit gehabt, sie vor 20 Jahren zu kaufen, als Menschen sowas noch gesagt haben, wenn sie anderer Leute Jobs beschreiben mussten.

I'm thinking of getting a real job after years of freelancing. (The stress and overhead isn't worth it with a toddler, I'd rather have it calm.)

If you know someone who needs a #Swiftlang dev with 10+ years of experience, macOS and iOS, also some C and #Rust, who can self-manage and also […]

Maybe I should figure out a way to connect a Mastodon account with my help desk system, #FreeScout. Hmm.

It's not like you have too many projects already, Carlo

That shit is bonkers, I love it; you can't tell me it's bad! AI certainly has its problems, I'm not an idiot, but how—as a software dev—you can't be excited about that stuff is beyond me. And I'm a silverback, I guess, with 30+ years in the trenches. Exciting times, for sure.

Blog post soon!

I've built a #ClaudeCode skill for my #Swift work in #Xcode which still kinda blows my mind (even though I made it):

When CC finds an `import` it doesn't know, it figures out which package it belongs to, checks if it has docs for it, and if not, generates it on-the-fly so it can go on.

#HyperNormalisation is not an easy #film to watch but I still recommend it IF you have that feeling that "nothing ever changes, why??". The system is fucking broken, indeed.

It paints a very compelling picture and has a very convincing message yet at the same time manages to be all over the […]

So #AppleMusic has a concept named "curators", e.g. people curating playlists etc. Which is nice.

But I can't bookmark them or star them or *anything* them in Apple Music because STEVE JOBS IS DEAD, Y'ALL

I'm proud to announce v1.0 of ✨Interfazzle✨, my wee #Swift #CLI tool that builds #Markdown documentation for a package's public interface from symbol graphs.

My reason for making it: I really don't like DocC. DocC and its dynamic-page output is the Liquid Glass of documentation. (There, I said […]

#Swift frens, I cobbled together a simple, rather bare-bones, self-contained Swift script that builds Markdown docs for a package's public interface from its Swift symbol graphs. It's aimed at package maintainers who "like" DocC as much as I do. 😉

It's deffo a WIP still, but I could use a few […]

Wait, did I accidentally build a dependency-less Swift & bash combo (2 scripts) which generates Markdown files for a package's public module interfaces that is my personal idea of what's useful to both humans and LLMs and isn't goddamn DocC‽

This needs more testing
