Just for the record, it was fun here for a while, but now I’m done. If you’re looking for me, you can find me at mastodon.social/users/benpate


Hey @FlyFrontier -- I'm rebooking my @SouthwestAir flights cause.. you know... Looks like your site requires a tracker that I've blocked for privacy reasons. Do I turn off tracking prevention to book w/ you or just go to United? Please tell marketing that the ROI isn't worth it.

Hey @Lowes - why is your KeyHero app completely broken? Website too… Seems like abandonware that’s still being sold in the stores 😭😭😭 I came here to upload a dozen keys, and it’s just a mess. Please don’t make me go to Home Depot.


Success!!! I am a world class developer because I just reprogrammed the keypad to my garage door. Next stop, the kitchen clock that’s still blinking 12:00.


I’ve now reached the stage of grief where you frantically check each tweet to see if the authors profile lists their new Mastodon address “just in case.”

Do you know what would be really neat? Everyone posts RSS feeds in their profile so tools can pick them up. Micro.blog, Mastadon, etc. all have RSS feeds so those can be 🤖. If I get at least 1k r/t I'll take a stab a writing a Twitter -> RSS/OPML tool lol. r/t ftw


Something is definitely wrong when my best option for publishing a tech manifesto is uploading a PDF to Dropbox.


Holy shirt-balls! My first day using GitHub Copilot and I’m amazed. It’s learning my custom libraries and naming conventions. It. Writes. Decent. Comments! And it’s a bigger jump forward that Intellisense. I doubt anyone works without that anymore. This is gonna be big.

When I was a kid, I thought @Neilyoung just made music for old men, but it turns out, he’s a lot like me…


me: I’d like to run this simple program on my laptop. npm: Ok, but I’m also loading a neutron star’s worth of junk code to do it. me: Whatever, sure.. just run, please. npm: … npm: … npm: Never mind, bruh. Ima just crash instead. me: FML


Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and.. well.. that’s the last time you lose my kids’ dinner @DoorDash


Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter. I’ve tried them all and each one let me down somehow. What does the perfect social media look like to you? Think Big.. #SocialMedia #LetsDoBetter


Fantastic news for the Internet. Although, I believe the appropriate term is “masked, but within 6 feet of…”

htmx 0.1 is spitting distance from a 1.0 shooting for end of october
