try out just files next!

make has a ton of useful stuff for detecting build changes, but with go, it’s not *as* big of a concern, so more simplistic justfiles work really well imo

Base64 encoding is everywhere on the web: in HTTP headers, JWTs, even in HTML. But what is it and how does it actually work?

I break it down in my latest video!

Charge for an API Key.

Devs can scrape, at least an API key you can track usage and charge appropriately 😉

I’ll Venmo u the last $5

The untold truth about Sentry?

It's an amazing tool.

Getting users to click the "Report a bug" button?

Hardest challenge in life.

Honestly dunno, I haven’t used either enough! 😅 I like the hands-on-code bit of motion canvas, though.

Quite nice! I’ve always been curious about how to make those nice lines between things.. how are you making that happen?

Is it a chart?

ah yes, the big conundrum of using Snappify or code it up in motion canvas 😩

TIL about the rabbit hole that is HLS! 🫨

Correlation events, because why not! 🤩

“What caused that massive spike in downloads? Oh, a spike in Bluesky refereed downloads that day”

“Insightful” feels more actionable.. I can do things with insights; can’t do much with power (well…)

I like the contrast of “yet”. But “simple and insightful” also works 😅

I agree. Taking a closer look at the video, a few things are interesting:
- it never finishes loading
- even once loaded, a cache is used. Clicking refresh does a hard pull. I modified my internal user filter as a demo.

Solution here is probably “let it load, then click reload if still persists”

Somewhere, a Sentry (or ehm PostHog error capture) hopefully triggered

PostHog, usually it’s better than this 😅

I read up on a bunch.. I like how just is just a command runner, not a full build tool imo.

I don’t believe Go gets much benefit from file-awareness. Might be helpful for building frontend? My prod is built in ci docker, though.

Plus, “just run” is way more fun than “task run” 😝

justfiles are so nice 😀

makefiles, but better. and more go.

In Praise of "Normal" Engineers (LDX3) The software industry is obsessed with hiring and recruiting “top talent”, “best of the best”, “10x engineers”, and so on. I think this obsession misund…

Every slide in @charity.wtf's deck "In praise of normal engineers" is a banger

throw in a manifest.json and you’ve GOT an app !

this seems like such a good conference, hopefully one year I’ll be able to go!

This is really refreshing

(talking about postpone.app)

Yup, the Reddit analytics it has is super powerful. Each subreddits “most active” times down to the hour for each day of the week.

It’s a cheat code 🤠

postpone is great to look into if you haven’t yet 👀

Oh Dear..

Why does Selection.getComposedRanges() have MULTIPLE signatures:
- Safari: Selection.getComposedRanges(shadowRoot)
- Chrome: Selection.getComposedRanges({ shadowRoots: [shadowRoot] })

But hey, now its working in Chrome, Safari (+ iOS), and Firefox!

and evaluate when to fail open or fail close.. 😅

It’s been a day.

Ohhh sick I’ll take a look, thanks for sending.

All in all though, this seems like a “use the right language for the job” kind of problem haha.

Build circuit breakers into your systems.

Any time you have a third party dependency:
- A) Try to have a fallback in case Primary goes "offline"
- B) Still keep up 100% "usability" in your own app; even if it means queuing tasks for later.

It will pay dividends.
