... though a bit sad about the little hut in the last pic ... half under water.

Shipped a new feature in an app I'm working on that configures MSAL to redirect back to initial URL after login. Not as easy as it sounds.

Currently hacking MSAL in an Angular app. Can't get any better. How's your Friday evening going...

If someone leaves their PC unlocked in our team, someone sends a Teams message (from their account) "I'm giving cake on Monday".

We know we're getting 🍰 that day 😃

The @angular.dev Animations package is now officially deprecated.

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

The latest @firefox.com comes with some really useful utils like math calculations and unit conversions, including time-zones, directly in the address bar!
So we can do things like "2 + 2" or "now to EST" and the answer comes up immediately. Pretty nice!

Played chess with my 7 yo son. He checkmated me 😐♟️ with aaaaalmost not help from my side.

Went to Legoland today. Always exciting and inspiring. Also had a lot of fun with the kids.

Went on a beautiful morning run today 🏃 The weather was perfect.

You're right. `injectContentFiles` helped me get rid of the hard-coded map. Looks better. Now I can focus on styling the posts. CSS next 🎉

Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck LLMs make it easier to write code, but understanding, reviewing, and maintaining it still takes time, trust, and good judgment.

This reflects exactly conversations I've had with colleagues lately:

ordep.dev/posts/writin...

Thanks for the suggestion. Will look into it a bit later :)

Thanks. Looked into in ... and it didn't fully fit into my use-case :)
That is because I have two content subdirectories but only one route to load a post to. So I "hacked" my way to it. This seems to be working, though a bit sub-optimal.

Forgot the screenshot, of course 🤦‍♂️

I think I settled with "published" metatag (1, 2) but now I have problems loading a single post. The .md files are in two folders - "posts" and "thoughts". The file that loads a single post (3) can't figure that out (4). Any tips for solving that? 🙏

Does the filename (the .md file that is) even matter? It looks like it's overwritten by the slug. So it's mostly for me to distinguish the file.
The reason I want "year/month/day/slug.html" is because my blog currently uses that url for posts. So I'm kind of locked in that one. Bad past decision :|

Hey @brandonroberts.dev is there a smarter way to make this kind of post url in Analog?

I'm thinking about using the filename to build the url and not metadata?

One day I'd really like to migrate my blog, which is currently using GitHub Pages with Jekyll, to something more "lightweight" so I don't have to install Ruby and whatnot in order to run it locally. Looking mainly at @analogjs.org as I've wanted to try it for some time. Will see :)

I was hoping that publishing the extension was somewhat automated since the Chrome version is out quite fast. Maybe it's more manual for FF.
Thanks for the suggestion. Will open an issue :)

@angular.dev

Hey @angular are you going to publish the latest DevTools version to Firefox? It's still on v1.0.33 there. The latest in Chrome is v1.0.37 :)

Nice result Santosh! Hope you enjoyed the run. I'm sure you'll get to under 2h in no time! 🏃‍♂️

Big news for Angular devs 🎉 Host bindings now support type checking. We've also updated the Language Service with a new integration. Catch errors early and write safer, more robust code.

Set the typeCheckHostBindings to enable this feature 🔥

Android 16 is out. I've got a Pixel 6a phone.
Upgrading. Brb.
That's why I love Pixels.

Great impression!
Also, we do that in our pipeline 😝

Oh. Got an email from Berlin half-marathon organizers that I didn't win a place for the next year's half. Guess I'll need to wait for '27.

That'd be great. There are some nice features in this version. As always :)
