Why the switch, out of curiosity?

I've noticed this as well. As with all things AI, it excites me, disappoints me and leaves me feeling anxious and unsure.

No surprise to any of us that have used the language. The team have spent so much time on creating an excellent developer experience. #Gleam makes programming enjoyable and rewarding. Well done @gleam.run!

A mug should not bring me this much joy. Almost as much as programming in #gleam itself.

Per-git-repo histories sound convenient. That alone could be reason enough to give it a try to be honest. Guess I'll be poking around with this at the weekend.

I've come across this project so many times and always found it vaguely interesting, but I've never once felt compelled to try it. What problem is it solving for you?

the way the far right values surface level cordiality over the substance of conversation is legitimately mind blowing to me

entitled pricks demanding to be respected because they made their reprehensible point with a "respectable tone"

Really enjoying all the sites I can no longer access, because it's simpler to just geoblock the UK than try to comply with its absurd demands.

I'm glad they're doing it, because it sends a signal. I wish the larger sites would follow suit.

And yes, I know it's simple to bypass the blocks.

I use Gleam half as much as I'd like, but I adore the Gleam-o-sphere. It's only a little, but I've set up sponsorship for $2/month.

I hope it's not so little that platform fees eat it up before it reaches you!

Sponsor @lpil on GitHub Sponsors Gleam: Making type safe programming a production ready reality on the Erlang virtual machine!

Gleam sponsorship has been slowly dropping over the last few months.
The project is free from influence by any corporation, but it means the team and I need your support! Just a few dollars makes a big difference, so please sponsor if you appreciate Gleam.

A follow-up to my bard animation. Since so many people asked how I created the watercolor effect in Blender, I put together a tutorial breaking down all the techniques. Let me know what you think :) #b3d #tutorial #watercolor

As a consequence of this, I now only ever invest in tools with great out-of-the-box experiences. My prime example of this is my favourite text editor, Helix.

I'm on that part of the bell curve where I've stopped maintaining complicated config files for all the tools I use, and have instead adapted myself to the tool's defaults.

Has 'Default Driven Development' already been coined?

Decided we can't even do Twitter as a broadcast-only thing. Even auto posts via WP feel wrong now. Before Musk wrecked the place we were heading for 10,000 followers there. It's going to be a long time rebuilding here. If you like what we do in comics and can spread the word we'd so appreciate it!

Inside a supermarket (big Tesco), World Foods is written on a massive  hoop sign dangling from the ceiling. Underneath are pallets of Celebrations, Quality Street, Miniature Heroes, and Roses chocolate selection boxes. (All very British)

Out of interest - what motion graphics software are you using to make your videos?

For a brief moment I thought this was a new video, and then I was sad it was just an old one...
But then I was happy again that it was one of my favourites of yours and I got to rewatch it!

Fair enough. Sounds like you're taking care of yourself and just have a great work ethic.
