What are you moving to?

Yeah it overall seems like too much processing power for something that doesn’t add much to the experience

The trick I’ve found is to have just enough space on my device that it keeps working but not enough for the update. But jokes aside I’ve heard that liquid glass isn’t as bad as it used to be

You could disallow any in function arguments and then you’d use unknown and cast as any in the unsafe block

Brett @brett.ooo · 18/07/2026

Okay good to know! Maybe I'll wait for that to be officially out and switch then

000

Brett @brett.ooo · 17/07/2026

I'm still on MacOS 15 and iOS 18. Is it time for me to upgrade or should I keep putting it off? I really don't like the look of Liquid Glass but I'm starting to apps that I want to try but would require me to upgrade

I use “we” in code reviews but I guess that’s not completely the same because I am genuinely taking some ownership in the outcome

If by GUI you mean the emacs package I totally agree

Ooh this looks nice. I e been using a split linear keyboard for years but never one like this. I have smaller hands so my biggest concern is that I’ll have to do more stretching than intended

Brett @brett.ooo · 29/04/2026

I've been eyeing the Pebble Index 01 because I've started to see the appeal of being able to create tasks/reminders without any friction. Would be cool to be able to use it to add a task to my Loop

Reading through the docs I feel like this would fix so many problems I have staying on top of things. At the very least I hate that maintaining a todo list becomes an item on my todo list

Brett @brett.ooo · 13/04/2026

My views are more nuanced than this though but the character count makes it hard to convey. Basically while I think the tech you're talking about has a lot of merit I've come back around and think that React gets a bad rap as a useful tool for building even small frontends

010

Brett @brett.ooo · 13/04/2026

I'm actually very skeptical of RSCs 😅. I think a large point of React (or a similar tech) is to manage state you don't want on the server that are more to do with the UX than the features. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of the tech you espouse but I don't think it's a great fit for a what users want

Brett @brett.ooo · 13/04/2026

I kind of get where you're coming from with GraphQL (I haven't used it much but when I have it's been only to fetch data), but I've never run into the duplicate state problem. Limited by character count here but while I can see how you can have that issue I think that problem may be overstated?

100

Brett @brett.ooo · 13/04/2026

Curious to know what logic you find moving to the front end when using React. The only things I can really think of off the top of my head is validation which would be a bad practice to say the least and not React specific

100

Brett @brett.ooo · 31/03/2026

I forget where I heard this thought originally but the scenario of reviewing a PR only to have those comments be re-input back into the LLM directly is just the reviewer using a chat bot but with the worst UX possible. And to your point a wasted effort "teaching" the LLM that can't learn directly

Brett @brett.ooo · 25/03/2026

This is awesome! I've been wanting something on my phone as a less obtrusive backup to alert me about my partner's low blood sugar

Brett @brett.ooo · 22/03/2026

Yeah that tracks based off the videos I’ve watched. I got a new GPU recently but my CPU is still stuck on some old hardware so I wonder if my computer will be able to handle the game

Do you think the controls would be better with a controller?

Brett @brett.ooo · 27/02/2026

I still stumble occasionally trying to use @jj-vcs.dev but that's only because it's given me the confidence to try and do things that I'd never even think to attempt directly with git. And even when I mess up jj undo is such a blessing

000

Brett @brett.ooo · 22/02/2026

I've been having a hard time working on personal projects recently, and I think getting back into more directly creative endeavors like game dev may help. What do people recommend? I'm open to any software/language but right now I'm between diving into Bevy or Godot

Thundersnow is rare and I’m always excited when I’ve seen it. I love this video of a weatherman getting totally psyched experiencing it youtu.be/PdRWGMyeSYY?...

"Hey Gemini, what would this museum person say about this exhibit if I asked them about it?"

010

Brett @brett.ooo · 21/12/2025

Just watched a Samsung ad for their AI features where the actors go to a museum and ask their phone questions about the things on display. Now, I haven't been to a museum as recently as I'd like, but I think they still have those neat little placards next to each exhibit that gives you that info

120

Brett @brett.ooo · 10/12/2025

Sounds super interesting, excited to give it a read! Is there a way to be notified once it’s available?

Brett @brett.ooo · 09/12/2025

Continuing my annual tradition of doing advent of code in @gleam.run. It's been a second since I've gotten the chance to write some Gleam and I'm absolutely blown away with how good the LSP has gotten, such a lovely programming experience!

A bunch of talks yesterday name-dropped Lustre which is so surreal, super wild for folks to just be talking about Your Thing ™️ in the middle of a talk. We're only 18 stars off of 1.9k and I'm desperately trying to get 2k before the end of the year. 🥺👉👈 github.com/lustre-labs/...

Last night I woke up twice hours apart and looked up the score and had to do a double take when it was still going on

000

Brett @brett.ooo · 24/10/2025

That’s definitely the way. I literally couldn’t even force myself to move my arm up to the point of being able to type at a desk, had to sit on the couch with my laptop in my lap in order to work

Brett @brett.ooo · 24/10/2025

I made the mistake of doing both my Covid and flu shots in the same arm on the same day. Could not move it for a few days but with everyone getting sick I’m glad I made the time

110

Brett @brett.ooo · 24/10/2025

I think that’s valid. One problem a lot of communities do on discord is have too many channels so it feels dead. They also have that forum esc channel now but I agree it doesn’t feel as searchable. Honestly the ReScript forum has been great so no real complaints!

020

Brett @brett.ooo · 23/10/2025

I tend to like a Discord server, especially if it’s lively! That said I am really impressed with how quickly all of my questions on the forum get answered

120

Brett @brett.ooo · 22/10/2025

Very cool! I'm glad to see more component libraries like this come out so I don't have to be so tied to a single frontend framework. Unfortunately a lot of the styles don't seem to be rendering correctly on Firefox but will be keeping an eye on this!

020

Brett @brett.ooo · 22/10/2025

I like the idea from the perspective of a reviewer of a PR. I’m using jj more now so my commits are cleaner, and I feel like using conventional commits within a PR help paint a story of all the changes with good context for the reviewer

Brett @brett.ooo · 19/09/2025

Hayleigh is by far one of the best devs I’ve ever met, and an amazing teacher of difficult concepts too! If you’re hiring I can’t sing her praises enough!

What you didn’t see was years of using helix and not knowing any of those short cuts

020

Brett @brett.ooo · 16/09/2025

More important than how productive your tools make you is how cool you feel using them. Is my helix, and zellij setup discernibly better than other editors? Probably not. Does doing basic things make me feel really smart? Absolutely

Brett @brett.ooo · 14/09/2025

I’m in the same boat, and in a lot of ways jj makes those commands easier. It’s more visual and most importantly it has an undo command!

120

Brett @brett.ooo · 14/09/2025

I don’t think I’m getting the most out of jj that I could, but my commits are cleaner and I’m having fun so that’s a win
