Playing with a new @usetrmnl.com, it’s just really nice. Love the simplicity. I can absolutely imagine going nuts developing plugins though.

I’m so glad we did this. Being able to reference the default new app experience over time is amazing.

Planning to setup in half of the garage. It’s gonna be a bit tight, but should work. πŸ™πŸ€ž

Once everything comes in and I get it setup (likely a couple weeks at least?) I’m planning on starting StrongLifts 5x5.

Welp. The various fitness industry Black Friday sales got me. Finally pulled the trigger on a nice power rack and a set of bumper plates.

Oh no, I totally agree with you!! I think this is basically the normal vaccination / herd immunity argument and I’m so here for it!

FWIW, I believe that HPV in men can cause oropharyngeal cancer (actually seems to be nearly as common in men as cervical cancer is in women β€” based on CDC page).

Ha! I actually just got my last dose about 2 weeks ago!! Good on you!

I can’t tell if this is an endorsement or a warning… πŸ€”

if you have a @github.com profile, can i ask you to update it with your @bsky.app handle? πŸ™

πŸ‘‰ it enables some very cool integrations, like auto curated feeds and starter packs for contributors and tech

I’m mostly using iOS. I don’t see a way to have the app update the list of posts without jumping to the top of the feed. If you click the little arrow to the bottom right (that has a blue β€œnew items” indicator) or if you get to the top of the feed and pull to refresh it jumps you to the top of feed.

I wonder how the next generation of devs will build their fundamental understanding (and avoid magical thinking). Hmm, maybe this is the same as the GPS argument, or a variant. πŸ€”

My primary concern isn’t something that @macwright.com brought up though: it’s one thing for senior devs to talk through the process of some rando architecture and make a choice, but for a more junior dev to without all the context it’s massively more difficult to separate the signal from the noise.

This is a great piece. I think I agree with basically all of the points, and I’m still strongly in camp β€œthese things are very useful”. I use them (mostly not the autocomplete form β€” which I find to be closer to a β€œparlor trick”; but the @zed.dev style chat with editing capabilities).

THIS INFURIATES ME!!!

Haha, I do like the feel / vibe / whatever, but I can’t stand the β€œloosing my spot” thing at all.

"Generating a PR summary from a diff" seems fine, but one of the primary responsibilities of a PR summary is to provide context that isn't captured in the code:
- What alternatives were considered?
- Was the change motivated by a regression? Or an outage?
- How was it tested?

Yes, please!!! Haha, I remember planning budgets like that with @stefanpenner.bsky.social around how long ember-cli addons would be allowed to take during their various hooks (as a way to ensure various commands were fast enough). Such a good idea. Hard to implement retroactively though.

Ya totally! The collaboration features and their AI integrations are some of the things that really got me to pay attention.

Ya, totally! The custom feeds functionality is amazing. I can absolutely see that kinda thing working much better than even Tweet Deck ever did (though I loved Tweet Deck!).

I tend to use the mobile app so far (and likely will always use it much more than desktop, just due to my normal usage patterns), but I'll give the main site a go today and see how that works for me.

Maybe this is just a situation where I need to use a different client or something? Ivory (for Mastodon) for example has this behavior by default (and I love it). πŸ€”

How do I get Blue Sky to save my spot when it updates? I'm a bit of a completionist, and it's pretty frustrating to open the app have it update and then jump me to the top of my feed (at which point I have to try to remember where I was and skip back down).

Feels like a "holding it wrong" thing...

Welp. That’ll work I suppose. Personally I’d go with β€œall of them”.

As a long time NeoVim, I try to keep track of what good things other editors do (often to find cool things I can do in my nvim config).

I started looking into @zed.dev this weekend which looks really cool! I’d love pointers on how to get productive (I’m doing mostly Python, Rust, and TypeScript).

Yeah, people tend to underestimate the overall stress that the whole interview process puts on the interviewee.

😭😭😭😭 If only our offensive line could get heathy and maybe just maaaaybe block a bit more for Caleb we might actually be in a position to not loose on quasi random fluke plays in the last second.
