Mobile Updates

Spent my birthday improving Inkwell’s mobile experience and it finally feels a lot closer to where it needs to be. New navigation, swipe gestures, pull-to-refresh, and better reading on small screens are all live, with a few auth issues still being worked through.…

Bug in Vscode where markdown files are being saved as .litcoffee file instead of .md file, because of a PR adding .litcoffee to the top of extensions list in the package.json file.

The fix is in now, and people have to wait for v 1.112.0, but feels like it could be avoided if we could add an inline code comment saying
`// The order actually matters, .md must be at the top of the list` so in the end I think this is a documentation issue. 🤔

Trying to wring some useful insights out of the roiling AI discourse: today I want to talk a little bit about Senior Engineer Essentialism. As with many AI Coding things, this is not a *new* problem, but it is now a *worse* problem.

According to my hazy recollection, circa 2012 we started seeing a rash of forgettable blog posts about "what it really means to be a senior software engineer".

There is no such thing as a senior software engineer. 🧵

If you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse, please feel free to reply, or mention me, or send a message! 🙂

I'm trying to provide unofficial direct tech support for using this place.

There is no such thing as a silly question, especially keen to help new or non-technical people who want answers in plain language.

If you prefer not to ask, you can find lots of help on the website at fedi.tips

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

Not a ton of novel analysis here or anything but I just have to share because

“I don't know anyone who's like ‘Yay, I love the prospect of a world where my job is paying a monthly subscription to a worse version of my own brain.‘”

is sufficiently 🔥 that it warrants sharing

제 생일 축해주셔서 정말로 감사드리고 이제는 생일이 지났지만 그럼에도 잊지 못 하겠습니다... 너무 행복한 하루가 되었네요. 하하. 일단은 졸려서 이만 자러 갑니다. 안녕히 주무시고 좋은 꿈 꾸세요. 고양이 사진 투척.

이러고 자더라 아까

어제 오스카상에서 시상자로 나온 하비에르 바르뎀이 직설적으로 "No to war, free Palestine." 이라고 말했는데, 그게 한국 OCN에서는 실시간 자동 변역 돌린 바람에 "일 안 해요. 나는 팔레스타인으로부터 자유롭습니다" 라고 자막 나왔다는 소식을 들었다. 혹 스크린샷 있는 분 계시면 제보 부탁드립니...
