I am in an abusive relationship with the technology industry Some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, an appreciation for folk music, and some other thoughts.

I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.

vue-data-ui is on npmx, npmx is on vue-data-ui How a Bluesky thread about npm sparked my first contributions to npmx, bringing charts with vue-data-ui and revealing the power of open-source collaboration.

@graphieros.npmx.social: "My contributing to npmx exposed me to the gift that is receiving contributions to my own project. (...) People care enough to offer valuable time to improve your own work, which becomes stronger with other minds. That's some rad brain chemistry I hope many could experience"

Thank you, dear community, for this month 💙

It seems it's already time to take notes for a new article - too many good things are happening here for my poor memory 😅

A post is just an entry in our PDSs. And a link is simply a facet in this entry that provides boundaries and content

So when you have your own appview, you can play with these settings as you want 🙃

Oh no, wrong link, sorry - here it is

Lol, yeah, that was a funny post
https://bsky.app/profile/joshuakgoldberg.com/post/3meomikphrc2g

And from desktop, you can always change the URL from bsky to atsky and use the built-in translator as well 🙃

Yay, finally 🈸

By the way, it's nice that I launched the site less than a week ago and google already recognizes that it’s a copy

Google error page: Did you mean alexdln.com? The site you just tried to visit looks fake. Attackers sometimes mimic sites by making small, hard-to-see changes to the URL.

Or maybe Google is right and I shouldn't go to the site preview. I wanted to relax today 🤔

I've written here many times that I'm a big fan of charts on npmx 📊

But I'm actually a personal fan of @graphieros.npmx.social 🤍

If you've seen how he works, how writes, and how beautifully displays data, you know exactly what I mean

(even half of the plans will change how people perceive the development 🤫)

This 🚀 Looks 🔥Amazing 🪄

the heart of open source is human

We all just found each other at the right time in the right place. Thank you and @danielroe.dev for finding a reason to bring us together 🤍

The month. npmx I'm Alex, a project maintainer and one of the many who have been lucky enough to witness the formation of npmx from the front lines. This is an article reflecting on the project, warm stories, wonderf...

By the way, I added the integration of bluesky posts to the site in literally an hour 🚀

Atproto is my special love, with whom I've built and learned so much

It helps to build quickly, and now, with such a large number of authors, we're all expanding our boundaries, together

I'm already running out of goodies, but all the interesting things are still ahead 👀

meme showing lucky luke shooting faster than his shadow, with my face on top of the shadow and the text "me trying to make my first PR to npmx prettier" and daniels face on top of luke and the text "daniel quick merging before i can"

love the development speed at @npmx.dev

Yaaay, thanks 💙

this is open source

What a great beginning. And what amazing people! I'm so happy to see this step and know what the next flight will bring 💙

Another reason I love this community is the strong people who share knowledges, similar views and ideas 🤍

npmx team created an incredible community here, and that's a big reason I'm here and love this space

Great article describing that part of the story ❤️

Such a beloved moment, backed by incredible people 💙

I thought this would be a great opportunity to share my thoughts, as well as talk about the community, sharing stories, processes, and ideas 🤍
