Like some stylized pointed ones? Like one that might actually stab someone.

Like how some people make a heart ❤️ with a really tapered and pointed bottom? Like that.

My initial thought was “rails/django are K selected; micro frameworks like flask are r-selected”. Didn’t quite map out especially where you took the analogy. Fun avenue of thought.

“The genesis of a new idea is the combination of things. Which things did you combine for this? What would happen if you added time into the mix?”

Could get interesting!

We have this job. It’s called management. ;)

Do we have a name for medium sized services? Not monoliths. Not microservices. Middle sized.

Mezzo-services? Is that unnecessarily cutesy?

Right? "We trust that they know what they're doing and why they are doing it.. this is just a review of maintainability of the code". 🤯

I was in a discussion where the sentiment was "You shouldn't look at the ticket (i.e. intent) associated with the change.. just read the code based on its merits alone" and was just in complete stunned silence; a rarity for me.

A chess website called ATChess which has a game creation screen and a chess board on it.

So I've been hacking on ATChess. For folks who are making multi-player things in ATProto land.. how are you actually testing things? Creating additional test accounts and oauthing them in under separate browser instances or something?

One way to keep hope alive is entering a raffle

I live it and also I want to see the Cuomo do the same thing so bad. It would be the best cringe.

Two dollars?!?!

Oh. Right.

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago with the same backing reason (AI code generation makes code review way more important).

“Listening to ambient on a telephone while someone tries to use a modem on that same phone line”

You might have to listen to the previous two songs together to really get it.

Peak Portland hipster shit. The trendy bakery/coffee shop is playing gospel hymns from my youth. Wild.

I’m honestly struck by the hubris of the “for real this time” and that the computer didn’t punish it with a flakey failure. 😅😂🫠

I’m picturing this same “we talked about it internally and decided” response from any other company and can’t really see it flying. So odd to see.

Dragon done in market. 6 year old level of impressive.

Look at this sick night wing dragon my 6yo made.

Europe (Amsterdam and Berlin at least) has a great deal of cigarette smoke in so many outside spaces. Also the butt litter was surprising too.

Just got back from Europe and it was simultaneously nostalgic and unwanted.

One hour of pairing with my wife (good FE/full stack dev who’s looking for work) to review the code and I learned:
- rapidly updating react state isn’t necessarily bad.
- useEffect and useReducer etc are things which can simplify state management
- Claude is a little too class-happy on markup

Vibe coding a UI for better code review and hit my Claude usage limit.

Took the opportunity to read the ~7k lines of slop. Realized I had difficulty teasing apart “this is bad” from “this doesn’t match my 10 year old understanding of front end development”.

Do I know anyone who cares a bunch about code review? I want to show you something and get your take.

Synced my RSS feeds to a new computer and it populated a bunch of old stuff. Amazing to see when each of those blogs finally stopped publishing ~10 years ago for many.

New little landing page for my website: justin.abrah.ms

I feel like I'd like to get "notes" a little more prominent or something b/c I think that's the coolest part of my little spot on the internet.

I’m gonna be honest.. I have no clue yet 😅

I do have validation that the moves are coherent (eg valid), but haven’t gotten to syncing quite yet. I still need to learn more about the underlying data model.

I'm hacking w/ Claude on an chess game that you can play over AT Proto. Here's a loom showing how it works thus far. Still a ways to go.

(I'm not great at sharing demos via skeets. Any tips?)

Grilled peaches are quite tasty.
