The A QUIET PLACE movies are so much better than they have any right to be. Still remember BAWLING in the theatre during the climax in the first film.

My contract ended and I'm open for my next remote opportunity — software engineer or full-stack, whatever fits. PHP/JS generalist (I don't tie myself to one tech stack). If your team needs someone who learns fast and ships, zaher.dev has the details. Repost appreciated.

I feel so honored to be part of this @phparch.com team, and I am so proud of the hard work they put into PHP/JS Tek. It was a wild one, but I'll save that tea for the podcast this Thursday.

“duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction” - Sandi Metz in “All the little things” at RailsConf 2014 The quote is often put out of context to support the idea it’s always better to postpone the abstraction until there’s enough duplication. #SoftwareDevelopment #oop

Are there any self-contained Markdown slide apps like deckset but work on Windows? Slidev looks interesting but seems like it's more of a "repo is a self-contained slide deck" and not a "use this app to open arbitrary Markdown slide decks."

Video is what got me into podcasts, back in 2007! I would download video episodes from Diggnation, @leolaporte.me, Tekzilla, @cnet.com, and sync them to my iPod for my bus ride to work. Now, 20 years later, Apple is relaunching video in their podcasts app, and @transistor.fm is an initial partner!

A lot of “UX problems” are really default problems. If a feature needs a tutorial, it’s usually missing a default. A good default does 3 things: 1) shows what “good” looks like 2) reduces decisions 3) gets the user to a tiny win fast Docs teach. Defaults convert.

Got some advice from a designer a while back that’s stuck with me. I asked how I improve my sense of whether things are well-designed or not and he said: design is about making purposeful decisions. If you can find a purpose for something being the way it is, it is likely well-designed.

I’m dreaming of an app where I start a session, I open a web page or a paper or an ebook, and I talk as I read. Ask questions, make notes, all natural language. At the end of the session the transcript gets saved into a summary note of the session linked to the media I was reading. Does this exist?
