I went through a big JSDoc phase but now that Node supports type stripping, I'm writing Node code in 100% TypeScript with no build step and it's excellent. I'm still using JSDoc for browser stuff of course, but I can't deny that the JSDoc syntax is nowhere near as nice as the real deal.
Tagged templates in JavaScript are incredibly cool, I recently learned about so many interesting properties of how they work that blew me away. Might be worth a blog post.
It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?!

Zach Gage rocks. If you're not familiar with Puzzmo yet I would recommend it, they have a great collection of daily puzzles which hit the balance of challenging-yet-accessible really well and have some great UX juice. I'm a big fan of their crosswords.
Super easy and really does taste like cheesecake when done right. I'm not a nutrient tracker type but I imagine it's pretty rich in protein and fiber too lf you care about that
"Blueberry cheesecake yogurt" has become a favorite breakfast staple for me.
1. Mix frozen blueberries, salt, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a bowl, allow to sit for 20-30 minutes until blueberries are thawed and it's a little syrupy
2. Mix in Greek yogurt
3. Top with granola
Yes, that vibe coded Next.js clone is probably riddled with critical security bugs, but when you think about it that's actually an incredibly accurate recreation of the spirit of Next.js
I just built a quick static landing page for a website by just writing raw HTML and CSS files and it felt so refreshing. It's been so easy to build and iterate on, no frameworks or npm packages!
An optimistic take I have is that the "fiber optic cables" equivalent from the AI crash is not actually going to be the data centers, but the massive explosion of renewable energy production and upgrades to the aging grid which the data centers are forcing
I don't know what it is, but something about switching from Gmail to Proton Mail has made me start doing a much better job of keeping up with my emails. In Gmail I had started really ignoring everything and letting it all slide until I had hundreds of unread emails, but now I'm down to 0 unread
Alright I'm officially on Proton Mail now! Going to try going all in on using my own custom domain email as my new default. In the meantime, I didn't realize how easy it would be to have all of my old Gmail emails get auto-forwarded to Proton, this has all been a pretty painless transition!
Alright I'm getting tired of Google reading all my emails and using them for ad targeting, especially now that they're trying to push unwanted AI email summaries without asking. I think it's time to explore moving off of Gmail.
Operation Metro Surge? More like Operation Metro Boomin with how this administration has gone Mask Off!
"I'm speechless."

Walking up a flight of stairs after playing Baby Steps for a couple hours really makes you think about how you move your legs
it looks as though first lady melania trump is making the leap to the silver screen. perhaps now that they have a movie star in the white house, they will be redecorating the oval office with red carpet 🎬
damn this web components shit got me honkin like a goose
At this point I am just begging to get temperatures above 20 Fahrenheit again, this winter is hell
I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY
the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens
We have a plant that we put outside in the summer and back in for the winter, and a mystery plant just started sprouting out of the pot. I'm 90% sure that a squirrel must have buried an acorn in the pot and now we have a little indoor oak tree sapling
Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale
Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools
The movie based on that book is must-see, it's just a super fun thriller with very little filler. It went completely under the radar because it didn't get a wide release but it was my favorite movie of 2023.
Everyone stop redesigning your websites, it's making me really want to but I don't have time!
Baby Steps doesn't look like anything remotely resembling my kind of game but I'm giving it a try because of @minnmax.com. Honestly, I can't believe how good of a time I'm having so far. It's hard, but nowhere near as punishing as I was expecting.
I'm trying to use an LLM to help work through a rollup config issue but it just keeps throwing more and more plugins at it even though none of them actually fix the problem.
I love living in the future
it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn
