Glad it helped you as well!

Hi Nick, welcome on here 👋

The topics you’re currently exploring are all interests of mine as well, looking forward to what you’ll discover and learn :)

I left Meta this summer and since then have been recovering from burnout and dipping my toes in independent software engineering.

I'll make a few posts about what I've been getting into.

one strategy is to keep doing your thing much longer than anyone thought you would

Agent Skills - Claude Code Docs Create, manage, and share Skills to extend Claude's capabilities in Claude Code.

Claude Code Skills are pretty much this. You provide a short description that tells Claude, when to use the skill (“skill” just being a fancy word for custom/more detailed instructions).

Screenshot of the mentions UI in Croissant with two accounts tagged.

One thing I really like about @croissantapp.bsky.social is how you can customize @ mentions for each network.

It doesn't even have to be an account – you can also just write the name of the person if they don't have a profile on that network.

Wanted to share this interesting visualization by @rubenmathisen.bsky.social that we took a look at in my sociology class.

Especially the first and last map are quite powerful.

I know I'm late to the party, but yesterday I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, and it's honestly a very good movie. Visuals, the music, the story, the details – everything done very well.

Definitely recommend watching it, if you haven't yet!

Is your PIN code among the first ones hackers are likely to try? The ABC analysed 29 million stolen codes to help you avoid using an insecure one.

Really interesting article about how predictably people choose 4 digit codes:

*The profile pic for @alt.dominik.social was made with this.

Tooooools.app Apply lo-fi effects to your images and videos: dithering, halftone, gradients, patterns and more. Free, no sign-up required.

Just discovered this very cool too(oooo)l for adding minimalist lo-fi effects onto images: www.tooooools.app/

I particularly like the dithering and CRT* one. The ASCII art generator is also great!

Hi atproto from my personal pds!

Ok, was probably some sort of caching issue 🤷‍♂️

Now it works! @alt.dominik.social

Everything seems to look like it's supposed to: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

Any reason why my alt account on my self-hosted pds with a custom domain doesn't show up in Bluesky for other users via search and has an "invalid handle" tag?

Ok, this is very cool: @paperbnd.club uses the same lexicon, which means my reviews are on there as well :)

Thanks, will try to submit a couple of small improvements!

BookHive | @dominik.social @dominik.social's BookHive Profile page with 70 books

Here's my profile: bookhive.buzz/profile/dominik...

Unfortunately, the exports from both Literal and Storygraph were either not complete or the import failed for some of the books on Bookhive's side.

But nothing a session with Claude Code, some data wrangling and atproto shenanigans couldn't solve ;)

Project of the day completed: Migrating all my read books from Literal and Storygraph over to @bookhive.buzz (atproto clone of the former two) 🐝

This is a fun iOS app to sort some colour palettes and decompress for a few minutes.

I often keep sorting palettes one after the other.

The app's called Color Sort Therapy.

This is so calming, thanks for sharing :)

Chatted with an OG Internet guy at the @atproto.boston meetup today.

Asked him about the last time he saw so much community excitement and engagement for a protocol.

He said http and html.

What a cool (and surprisingly accurate) game…

Just an observation (and maybe it's just my bubble), but why are so many atproto devs also iOS/Swift devs?

Only discovered this now, but this is such a cool branding!

Like with FocusFlight (apps.apple.com/us/app/focus...), these airport/flight metaphors just work for me :D

TIL that the App Store web version is made with Svelte:

Haha this looks like it took a good amount of work 😂
But awesome job, always great to see how you can essentially give a room a second life :D

Woah this looks beautiful! 😍

I already feel inspired by just looking at the pictures, working at this desk must be even better ^^
