I still stumble occasionally trying to use @jj-vcs.dev but that's only because it's given me the confidence to try and do things that I'd never even think to attempt directly with git. And even when I mess up jj undo is such a blessing

I've been having a hard time working on personal projects recently, and I think getting back into more directly creative endeavors like game dev may help. What do people recommend? I'm open to any software/language but right now I'm between diving into Bevy or Godot

Testing can be fun, actually Writing and maintaining tests is boring. But they're also some of the most valuable code we can write. With this blog post you'll learn a criminally underrated testing technique to add to your testing...

A reminder of how cool and flexible snapshot tests can be!

Thundersnow is rare and I’m always excited when I’ve seen it. I love this video of a weatherman getting totally psyched experiencing it youtu.be/PdRWGMyeSYY?...

"Hey Gemini, what would this museum person say about this exhibit if I asked them about it?"

Just watched a Samsung ad for their AI features where the actors go to a museum and ask their phone questions about the things on display. Now, I haven't been to a museum as recently as I'd like, but I think they still have those neat little placards next to each exhibit that gives you that info

Sounds super interesting, excited to give it a read! Is there a way to be notified once it’s available?

Continuing my annual tradition of doing advent of code in @gleam.run. It's been a second since I've gotten the chance to write some Gleam and I'm absolutely blown away with how good the LSP has gotten, such a lovely programming experience!

No room for error | A case study of Gleam in production at Uncover A case study of Gleam in production at Uncover

"So far, the only bugs we've seen in our Gleam codebase are mistakes in business logic - nothing that would actually crash in production," says Georges Boris, Chief Design Officer at Uncover.

As a Bills fan who watched this game in a Bills bar I can confirm we did have a night. But also nothing unexpected at the end of the day

GitHub - lustre-labs/lustre: A Gleam web framework for building HTML templates, single page applications, and real-time server components. A Gleam web framework for building HTML templates, single page applications, and real-time server components. - lustre-labs/lustre

A bunch of talks yesterday name-dropped Lustre which is so surreal, super wild for folks to just be talking about Your Thing ℒ️ in the middle of a talk.

We're only 18 stars off of 1.9k and I'm desperately trying to get 2k before the end of the year. πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

Last night I woke up twice hours apart and looked up the score and had to do a double take when it was still going on

That’s definitely the way. I literally couldn’t even force myself to move my arm up to the point of being able to type at a desk, had to sit on the couch with my laptop in my lap in order to work

I made the mistake of doing both my Covid and flu shots in the same arm on the same day. Could not move it for a few days but with everyone getting sick I’m glad I made the time

I think that’s valid. One problem a lot of communities do on discord is have too many channels so it feels dead. They also have that forum esc channel now but I agree it doesn’t feel as searchable. Honestly the ReScript forum has been great so no real complaints!

I tend to like a Discord server, especially if it’s lively! That said I am really impressed with how quickly all of my questions on the forum get answered

Very cool! I'm glad to see more component libraries like this come out so I don't have to be so tied to a single frontend framework. Unfortunately a lot of the styles don't seem to be rendering correctly on Firefox but will be keeping an eye on this!

I like the idea from the perspective of a reviewer of a PR. I’m using jj more now so my commits are cleaner, and I feel like using conventional commits within a PR help paint a story of all the changes with good context for the reviewer

Hayleigh is by far one of the best devs I’ve ever met, and an amazing teacher of difficult concepts too! If you’re hiring I can’t sing her praises enough!

[Gleam] one database per test with gleeunit - chiroptical on Twitch chiroptical went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Software and Game Development VOD now.

Forgot to announce on here, but streamed some #gleamlang this morning! Using gleeunit, I can now automatically create/destroy a database from a template for tests with pog www.twitch.tv/videos/25694...

What you didn’t see was years of using helix and not knowing any of those short cuts

More important than how productive your tools make you is how cool you feel using them. Is my helix, and zellij setup discernibly better than other editors? Probably not. Does doing basic things make me feel really smart? Absolutely

I’m in the same boat, and in a lot of ways jj makes those commands easier. It’s more visual and most importantly it has an undo command!

I don’t think I’m getting the most out of jj that I could, but my commits are cleaner and I’m having fun so that’s a win

we really want to build something using @gleam.run. any suggestions?
