"This feels like it was built by people who actually use it." Cannot be overstated.

My favourite thing about building @Calcom? When customers tell me: "This feels like it was built by people who actually use it." Because it was. Every feature in Cal.com started with someone on our team saying "this is annoying, let's fix it." At the end of…



Far too much time has been spent mitigating JSON, and far too little on tooling for CSV. JavaScript still lacks CSV.parse() and CSV.stringify(). And we still don't have an algebraic solution for frontend joins. Where's JSQL!? Think of all the problems you can solve fetching…


Does anyone else on this platform suffer from teleopapyrophobia?


Think of the best real world use of Ai that you or someone you know would be willing to pay for. What is that and do you have any idea why these companies aren't focusing on that?


There's no longer a way to cancel a @Microsoft365 subscription. You have to sign up with an onmicrosoft.com faux email address, but that's not valid for the unsubscribe page: account.microsoft.com/services And using the parent email that was used for the faux email won't show…


PSA: December 25th is the first day of Christmas, which lasts until Three King's Day (a.k.a. Epiphany) on January 6th. I'm not Catholic, but I do want help further the cause of counting the 12 days of Christmas correctly.


How do normies even use technology? I signed up for Netflix today on a browser I haven't used Netflix on in about a year (when I signed in as a friend to watch a specific show). Today I sign up with a new account, put in my credit card, and before I even finish by setting up my…


This is also a practical win - far beyond syntax sugar.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Ruben Bridgewater, @ljharb on advancing Object.keysLength to Stage 2 at @TC39 today 🎉 let count = Object.keysLength(o) It counts string-keyed own properties on an object & avoids the cost of an intermediate array in Object.keys(o).length

  let count = Object.keysLength(o)

It counts string-keyed own properties on an object & avoids the cost of an intermediate array in Object.keys(o).length


This is useful and in clear service of actual, boots-on-the-ground web developers. We need more wins like this in web standards.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to my coworker @acutmore @TechAtBloomberg on advancing Await Dictionary to Stage 2.7 at @TC39 today 🎉 Promise.all returns positional results as an array. Promise.allKeyed allows named results inside an object 👍

Ooh! And this one!

I swear by Scanner, which you can get for free, here: steffengerlach.de/freeware/ I've been using it for decades.

Just pinning this here so I remember to try out WizTree.

WizTree still has a gradient but at least it doesn't look a screenshot from ReBoot. (also it's ridiculously faster, use WizTree)

Just ordered split keyboards for the kids. Not for ergonomics, but to help them learn which keys go to which side of the keyboard - and for me to try another one for myself. Also... I'm switching back to QWERTY. Maybe. At least on the built-in keyboard. I'm hoping I can get my…

I spent the evening teaching my 6yo daughter to add numbers from the `node` repl, to type in `vim` (with spell enabled), and use `say` to have the computer read what she typed. I also let 4yo open Notepad and just type. His big moment was maximizing notepad to fullscreen. ❤️💪

AI coding tools have made me significantly more productive, by jump-starting dev efforts and reducing drudge work. At the same time AI rarely if ever produces the code I want. I always find myself manually adjusting the code to get what I want.


I still haven't been able to get Ai to create a schedule program that can tell which weekday of the month and week of the year it is, correctly. I try every once in a while just to see how Ai's advancement is coming along.
