very cool read shared by a colleague today. wish more teams would build fun, informational guides like this. background-agents.com
the home screen for snes rom hack newbie kaizo world, there are mario mountains and sky, title reads "newbie kaizo world" in mario font, colophon reads" 2021 - azula16."
I never played SMW growing up, but I've been running Kaizo livestreams in the background lately and they've been great.
Decided to give one a shot, and last night I beat my first Kaizo level! Maybe next I'll beat a level from a game without "newbie" in the title.
Add "5 minute hackathon presentation" to the list of things that terrify me.
add some usefulness to the claude code statusline, takes 1min: github.com/chongdashu/c...
During the planning phase with an LLM, after running knip and whatever else to determine the lift, I ask the LLM to plan phases according to the ownership of the results according to CODEOWNERS teams.
Been doing some large-scale code cleanup recently and I've started leveraging the CODEOWNERS file to keep the phases organized by team whenever possible.
Hopefully makes the review/QA process easier for each team, which makes it easier for me to keep things moving.
Feels like cute pixel and ASCII art is making a comeback now that people are working more with CLI again. I agree, hope we get more!
I wake up groggy, alarm clock screaming. I wipe my eyes and put on my glasses. I open my laptop.
>brew upgrade claude-code

>gm claude! wat 2 do 2day?
>Good morning! Today you have 32 points to complete, 6 meetings, and you need to return Dr. Mason's phone call, she's concerned.
>ty cluade!
Did some quick digging, seems it's a 3PL that'll be available for a one-time purchase, currently in open beta www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comme...
Plex is working on this as their newest (paid) feature, super exciting
My LLM just told me it's keeping track of something "mentally", and I'm not sure why but that sounds so unsettling.
Slack has sucked for years, but don't fret! This week they released a new set of Slackbot emoji.
happy valentine's day
Twentieth-century futurism was largely a project of βdonβt worry about the problems of the present. Corporations will build you such a lovely future.β
21st-century futurism has mostly been billionaires and their courtiers whining about the mean environmental movement blocking their cool ideas.
AI may not take over the world, but it 100% has already taken over our industry. Thinking you can continue to thrive in tech without it feels naΓ―ve, unfortunately. Even if you truly don't need it, you will still need to understand it.
Silver lining is I found Charlie, a local massage therapist specializing in sciatica, scoliosis and other back-related injuries. Charlie is my new best friend.
Add "shoveling snow" to the list of activities that remind me of my age.
I changed my mind. Our office Bevi has electrolytes and caffeine as "flavors" now and I'm hooked.
LANGUAGE: CSS .fade-in-example { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 150ms ease; @starting-style { opacity: 0; } }
Fun & simple way to fade in elements on render (i.e. error states).
"The user is right" my LLM mumbles again.
"All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain" it mutters even fainter, as it consolidates my tsconfig, vite, eslint configs into a single package to be shared across the mono...
All these cute ASCII emoji (or whatever) just sit in my keyboard and I never use them, what a shame!

Shout out Dyson for inventing a high-powered hand dryer that blows all the water off my hands and onto my pants, love looking like I peed myself when I walk into meetings.
Reason for termination: nicotine withdrawal.
Sounds like an eventual lawsuit regardless of the mountain of paperwork that was handed out to sign.
Noticed a neat interaction in Linear today:
When hovering over icons in a grid, a tooltip will show with the name of an icon after a delay (standard), but hovering any subsequent icons will show the tooltip immediately (cool!). If your cursor leaves the grid area, the delay will reset (smart).
Super cool! Apart from the listed examples, I'm excited to see how this might help in building an onboarding tour UI.

Seeing a trend in engineering discourse lately (mostly reddit):
"I use AI properly and it makes me more productive, but my colleagues use it terribly and their code contributions are all slop."
