Strange side-effect of Wispr flow / superwhisper: not entirely sure if the other person on this pair-work video call is trying to talk to me on mute or dictating to the machine :')
500 people decided to build something together.
Every commit. Every fix. Every feature.
None of them were asked. They just showed up from every corner of the world and made Directus better.
Thank you to every single contributor. You're the reason this exists. 💜
Between the (often) misheard words and having to speak to myself with my music paused the fiddliness weighs stronger than the usefulness, so back to typing we go!
A is easy enough to resolve: I'm sure it can get smarter with learning from previous written text to match that more closely, but B) is a tough one. Reminds me of @reckless.bsky.social' matrix of wearable bullshit in which one axis is “usefulness” and the other is “fiddliness”.
I've been trying Wispr Flow for a few weeks and learned something strange about myself: while it's undoubtedly faster than typing, I found myself going back to typing most of the time A) so it remains in my actual tone of voice, and B) because I hate murmuring to myself.
Just a Slack channel within the company, but maybe it's time to publish that somewhere too 😄
Three weeks ago we started a little channel to share each others social media posts and a friendly competition to increase engagement. Today, we more-than-doubled the number of unique visitors to our website. Coincidence? I think not.
The npmx folks are running a masterclass on community building.
I don't mean that as combative as it sounds 😅 Just legitimately curious to hear your takes as I too struggle under the "how to do OSS properly while not going bankrupt" problem..
What are we supposed to do in the meantime? It's impossible to change societal behavior overnight, and it it's futile to try new apps or licensing schemes before the societal behavior has changed, is OSS just doomed?
Nothing like an early evening of Rust programming to soothe the soul
I basically stopped using the in-IDE extensions for these as all of them have missing bits and bobs. I've been using the terminal CLIs the most as they felt the most done, but have recently been dabbling with the Mac apps. Codex is undeniably superior as a Mac app, Claude wins it for me on the CLI 🥴
It seems to be a toss up in quality between codex-5.3 and opus-4.6, but for this little GUI-guy Codex is undeniably better than Claude's “native” app.
Joking aside, pour one out for Heroku. My very first Node.js app way back in college ran on Heroku ❤️ .. but will also have to admit that I never used it for anything else ever after.. 😬
Have you thought about changing to a sustaining engineering model focused on stability, security, reliability, and support yet?

Nothing like the relaxing sounds of a jackhammer drilling away right outside my window to allow me to focus on watching Claude do my work for me
Excited! Weirdly never been to Atlanta, what should I go see / do when I'm there?
Looking forwards to hanging out 🙌

Very excited to be back at this blast of a conference. See you there? 😃
We're hosting a live showcase of the native Directus MCP on November 20th at 10am EST!
Register @ directus.io/mcp#event
Here's what we've got planned 🧵
"Here’s Jeffrey Epstein complaining about SEO" one of the more cursed @miasato.bsky.social posts in a while

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.
I’ve been trying to use an iPad as a laptop and… it’s getting surprisingly close to being useful. That being said, when using a mouse everything is too large, but then when tapping around with my finger things are too small. Can’t win! 🫠
But but Arc has treated me so well for the last year or two
👻
If you'd told me a year ago I'd be daily driving a browser from Atlassian I'd laugh in your face

I know "code snippets" are a thing, but it hits different if it's an attachment you gotta open instead of just code inline. Discord is pretty amazing at this 🙂
Dear Santa, for Christmas this year I would like syntax highlighting in code blocks in Slack. Love, Rijk.
