I honestly think it’s time someone built something to compete with @Xero where are the competitors at. Someone fund me 😅


I’ve been learning Go recently following along with @codecraftersio I’be never streamed or recorded a video before but I’ve been thinking about streaming myself trying to put together a small package manager, in @golang 🤷


The last couple of days ideas for small indie projects have come in droves. I think it’s about time I put pen to paper on some. I must stop buying more domains 😅


Takes like this make no sense? Yes core maintainers are going in one direction. But lots of people are running react with rails, check out the vite-rails project!

As much as it pains me to say, but #Rails has lost the plot. An entire ecosystem of components is passing it by. A single Rails developer has to build the frontend themselves. Want a calendar? Build it yourself. Date picker?



Anyone got some good techniques for getting LLMs to respond with JSON formats? I've done the "respond in JSON" but still getting odd responses or invalid JSON sometimes using @MistralAI at the moment, included an example. @Shpigford Im sure you've seen this on your adventures


I have a new domain and a fun little idea, thats been annoying me for ages. Feels like a fun time to play with Phlex @joeldrapper really enjoying watching it come together


Been working through the @codecraftersio redis project to learn @golang what a great tool. Super useful and easy to step through


The only piece I’d change here is the recommended order of reading. That’s what commits are for, structure the commits such that they tell the story. Or don’t, build stuff and ship it, small iterative changes often need less communication.

How to prepare Pull Requests like a pro: 1. Create it as draft 2. Leave comments to your own code, explaining implementation details 3. Mention the recommended order of files for review in the description 4. Assign the entire team for review 5. Mark as “Ready for review”

Yesterday a founder asked me how to bring “fun” back into their company. They scaled very quickly & suddenly the magic and fun dried up. (“Ew, process.” So common! 😅) My rules for "fun" at a startup:


Hey @RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp it says you’ve delivered me a parcel, it’s not here, and the photo you’ve attached couldn’t be less helpful? What do I do?

Still buying and holding🚀 @TheRoaringKitty @GameStop


This weekend I really got down and focused on learning @rustlang it’s been a while since I picked up something new, and even longer since I worked in a truly typed language. I’ve really missed it, the @ThePrimeagen TS <> Rust course on @FrontendMasters was very helpful


If this is true it opens the world up for new interesting options around #design. How do we design websites that are “AI accessible” ? Do we need better meta data options like #opengraph? Or should we continue to build for humans and let #AI handle it?

AI agents will browse the web for us, extracting data, taking actions, and even testing our UX. This is giving rise to new serverless infrastructure primitives for AI, like @browserbasehq for browsing and @e2b_dev for code interpreting. browserbase.com



Slowly realising I’ve been pinching a lot of JS framework features and putting them into my #rubyonrails <> #react app. Big fan on rails, but I do resent the push away from react, I think both can win with a tighter integration. Maybe I should ship or write about it some more?


Imagine getting this annoyed about something no one is asking you to use 😅 especially when you clearly miss the point. The lovely “we will pay your for tweet engagement” just stokes up drama for the sake of it

This post is unavailable.

Any idea when @heroku will add support for Postgres 16? @HerokuDevCenter we have a legacy service on an old version but would rather just jump to 16


More work on @getkarabiner this evening. Still super early, really interested to hear what people want from a new #crm we’re focusing on existing customers and retention compared to sales and leads. This is my first real dive into #indiehacking #buildinpublic


It’s takes like this that just stoke the fire. None of this is required. You can literally point vite or esbuild at a file and ship react like you want to. Having the options you need when you need them is the benefit not the problem

Five years ago, a simple 'Hello World' in React was straightforward. Now, it feels like understanding the universe's creation story is easier than grasping React's server-first approach. What happened?
