Personal software is software that you build exclusively for you, your family, your friends, or community.

The cost (time, motivation, experience) for building it is reduced due to AI in the loop, and therefore does not require a profit motive. It simply solves a problem.

The future it bright.

Podcasting + editing my own podcasts has been one of the best things that I've done for myself + public speaking. You quickly notice your own speech patterns.

-- in a recent episode 🀐 between the guest's pauses + "you knows" + "likes" + "umms" I cut out 11 minutes 🀯

Most of the Advent challenges are real things I've had to code within the past year.

Today's challenge: a Copy to Clipboard button. What makes this "tricky" is the button state.

CSS advent 01 ...

Got nerd sniped watching @w3cj.com on stream today when I saw him doing day 01 of www.adventofcss.com from @selfteachme.bsky.social

This layout changes based on how many images using only CSS. Got to play with some new concepts I don't use often.

This year, I didn't have time to create videos of all the solutions πŸ˜“ ... but, if there's something you want to see, I'm more than happy to code a solution or live stream.

I had someone question yesterday's Advent of CSS challenge, saying it was impossible to make accessible.

I’ve run into the same problem. One workaround I’ve found is to tell Claude you want to move this into a project and to prepare the conversation for export. Then you can add the artifact to your project.
