LinkDisguiser - Chrome Web Store Right-click a link to disguise it via LinkDisguiser

I recently launched a Google Chrome browser extension for LinkDisguiser. This tool allows you to right-click on any hyperlink and instantly copy a disguised version of that link directly to your clipboard.

I love that I can group my chats with emojis in Teams now. I have groups for
- something in production is broken
- robots posting automated things
- meetings
- channels for developers

Oh my goodness Microsoft Teams finally got good! I’m stoked 😄

Must be spring. Pollen is collecting on my laptop from leaving the window open this morning lol

I use AI as a “co-co-parent”—an LLM helps me edit messages to my kids’ mom (we’re divorced) to keep communication clear and calm.

It’s a simple application of AI that lowers conflict, raises the quality of parenting, and creates a better environment for the kids.

I joined some ChatGPT and LLM subreddits. A lot of the discussion is driven by hype and clickbait. We need more people talking about how this tech actually works and put it to good use.

I’m no guru, but I’ve seen a few hype cycles. I plan to share more on practical AI application.

Honestly we would probably have a lot less tech debt if this were a thing

😝 I mean just that a lot of stuff is becoming AI generated garbage, but this book isn’t that. I’m sure some genius out there said “hey chatgpt write me 200 pages about working with ai” and tried to pass it off somewhere

Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick. It’s sharp and —ironically—free of AI-generated slop. It lays perspective and groundwork for LLMs: how to work with them, and how to keep learning.

Always bring AI to the table—but never let it drive. It’s co-intelligence, not autopilot. What do you think?

I’d love to find a way to make one of these work for TTRPGs

Yeah, same really

"The Best Programmers I Know" from mastodon.social/@mre

This article is great advice. The first two bullets, "Read the Reference" and "Know Your Tools Really Well" are ones I've been focusing on. I'm surprised at the things I can find just by reading the manual.

This book is 100 years old, wowzers.

Emojis show up nice in the database connections window in vscode-mssql 😊💾 #vscode

#VSCode is all in on AI integrations too

So long Azure Data Studio, hello vscode-mssql.

It’s a Loony world these days

Red Wings just lost their chance to make the playoffs this season 😢

Saying "It's more complicated than it seems" is a sign that someone *nailed* a layer of abstraction.

LINQPad 8.8.x release notes

LINQPad Util.Dif method signature

LINQPad version 8.8.x has some cool stuff in the release notes.

More AI model support, support for @openrouter.bsky.social to arbitrarily support AI models, a new option to disambiguate databases with many schemas, and a bugfix for a Util feature I had no idea LINQPad already had.

I had no idea there was a 3d renderer in Microsoft Edge's DevTools 🤯

Webdev used to be a proper profession. Look at what they took from us. firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-use...

I never used this for actual work, but it was still so cool.

I still remember the day my wife and I beat Orleans Invasion after like a million tries. Great game

Just finished first play of Finspan. Definitely much easier to put on the table and clean up! I agree that it is much easier to learn compared to Wyrmspan and Wingspan #boardgames #Finspan

heh, "stream"lined. Is it really that different from Wingspan?

Love Sagrada. The iOS app makes for a great pass-and-play game, and it enforces all of the rules of the game to prevent any human-errors evaluating them.

Skull King, a.k.a. "Pirate Euchre" is one of our home's favorites. I'm still advocating to buy another copy because our cards are getting worn out.
