LFG!

Max Stoiber Owns His Workflow with Raycast YouTube video by Raycast

A few weeks back I took the time to configure my caps lock key as a hyper key and setup some shortcuts using @raycast.com and karabiner elements like @mxstbr.com showed in this video: youtu.be/m5MDv9qwhU8?....

It's really changed how I use my mac, can 100% recommend it!

What would you go for? sehl.com?

Gorgeous! You play the piano?!

You mean as a replacement for the hx-trigger="load" hx-get thing?

I see lots of design engineers in the React world today; has that role/idea translated to other frontend communities like in the web components world? Who are those people? ✋

Midwit bell-curve IQ meme saying: "Submit a PR -> Open an issue with a detailed description and reproduction so that others can solve the probl -> Submit a PR"

Ohhhh! Tell me more! What do you like? What do you dislike?

Feels like starter packs really picked up Bsky for my communities.

Raycast has become my command center for everything. So good!

Yeah we use Tuple for that

A little more than a month at Shopify and I've become sure…

Google Meets > Zoom

That's the exact keyboard I have! 😍 So good. Strongly recommend sticking with it.

New keyboard?

Took me a solid two weeks to get back to passable when I switched to a split kb, after another two weeks I was faster than before.

Wow, lots of devs here! 😳 What is everybody building recently?

Knock knock. Any devs here? 👋

Fun Bluesky-exclusive fact: this literally DMs me on Telegram. 😅

A screenshot of a digital note titled "Being unreasonably responsive has made my projects more successful" by Max Stoiber. The note discusses the benefits of being highly responsive in open source projects. There is a comment/feedback form on the bottom right corner of the screen with the prompt "I want to know what you think!" and fields for "What's your take?" and "Email for replies"

Little big detail: my digital garden (notes) now renders an anonymous comment/feedback form for people to send me messages 📬

I publish these publicly instead of keeping them in my notes because I want to collect perspectives, and this is my way to create that affordance.

It's funny that overreacted.com redirects to dan.⁠com—of all the possible domain registrars! 😂

(overreacted.io is @danabra.mov's actual domain)

How I tend to my digital garden My quests with this digital garden are to publish more and to have fun. Let's explore why I even have a digital garden and how it's going.

Developer tools startups are playing on hard mode Developer tools startups face challenges like build vs. buy, open-source competition, and the need to be 10x better and constantly evolving

Devtools startups are playing on hard mode

Developer tools are different than tools for any other profession We developers build our own “commercial-grade” tools every day. On top of that, sharing one of these abstractions with the entire world takes git push!

Developer tools are different than tools for any other profession

Who's an underrated developer whose work you love following on here? ✋

Let's spread some love!

@danabra.mov will there be a "What it feels like to work on the React team vs. work on a product team" post sometime?

I'd love to read about how the experiences differ, what you've learned from and about each of them that you're taking with you, etc.

The easiest way to remember Celsius to Fahrenheit: every 12°C, the digits are inverted. 🤯

04°C = 40°F
16°C = 61°F
28°C = 82°F
40°C = (1)04°F
52°C = (1)25°F
