This fascinating. I don’t disagree at all. But it’s interesting how cultural difference come into play. In Puerto Rico where I grew up, your handwriting was seen as an indicator of your intellect. Neat handwriting meant you were perceived as smarter than someone with messy handwriting.

Before watching the video, I *think* an autoclosure wraps the input in a closure for you so you don’t have too. Like a syntactic sugar thing. So instead of writing: foo({2 + 3}) You can write: foo(2 + 3) And those are now equivalent??? Oh boy. Time to watch and see if that’s correct. 😆

I’ve been noticing more and more developers add lifetime one-time purchases to their apps. As someone that cannot stand subscriptions i love having an option to pay once. I will GLADLY pay $199 now to avoid paying $9.99 forever. Thanks devs! ❤️

Fellow software engineers, how do ya’ll go about ensuring you ship high quality software? Unit tests? End to end UI automation? Manual Testing? Type driven design for compile time safety? State machines? All of the above?

I would love to see the resurgence of personal blogs and RSS feeds. I hate that everything has been platform-ized to hell.

Nice video from @watcherdm.com flipping through the Cairn 2e Player's Guide. I appreciate the deep understanding of a lot of the rules, because people often misunderstand on first read. www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWK...

In fact, the word for “ivory” is “elephantos” and is where our word “elephant” comes from. And deceit, “elephairontai.” If we remove the part-of-speech suffixes it’s perhaps more clear: “elephant/“ “elephair/“

Francisco Serrano @ciscoserrano.bsky.social · 31/12/2025
and she, depressed, figures that her dream came through the ivory gate? I always wondered what the deal was with that. Turns out it’s a pun! The Greek word for “ivory” sounds almost the same as the word for “deceit,” and the word for “horn” sounds almost the same as the word for “fulfill.”

I LOVE these. In the Odyssey, Penelopeia tells disguised Odysseus about her dream where an eagle tears twenty geese to shreds, and how this would be a good omen, except that dreams come through two gates, one of ivory (where false dreams come from) and one of horn (where true dreams come from),

Unfortunately the only thing I KNOW will work is lye. Which is a pain to deal with. A safer option is just regular oven cleaner (which typically has 5% lye in it)

I found it fascinating because, at least anecdotally, it seems people associate more lenses with better images instead of more zoom options.

Francisco Serrano @ciscoserrano.bsky.social · 20/12/2025
I’ve talked to a lot of family and friends and I was surprised to find out they weren’t interested in the air because it only has one camera. But they also didn’t know that their multi-lens phones only use one lens at a time. They thought every camera lens was in use at once for “better photos.”

Woohoo! Some examples of roll under systems if you’d like to check them out. Mothership RPG Cairn Into the Odd

I love it! Small enhancement request: A lot of TTRPG systems, especially OSR games use a roll under system where 1 is a critical success and 20 is a critical failure. I’d love a “roll under system” toggle to flip that! (If this exists and I missed it let me now!)

One thing I really dislike about streaming service exclusives is that I cannot buy a copy of the movie. For example I loved K-Pop Demon Hunters and really want to own a copy.

I always run A Most Potent Brew which is free from winghorn press. Super easy to run classic dungeon crawl. Right now I’m running a Mothership module called Warped Beyond Recognition for new players and lemme tell you, they will remember this game for the rest of their lives.

TIL that the most popular vehicle in 1890 was an electric one.

Glad they’re making a comeback. I never let my wires go. The Apple EarPods are such a good value, easy to carry, no batteries, outstanding microphone, sound great, and easy to replace. 5/5 stars. ⭐️

You know what would be great? If we stoped I inventing tech that remembers for us, creates for us, reads for us, writes for us, smiles for us. It’s not fun anymore.

What are some fun and quirky uses of XOR? I’ll go first. let res1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reduce(0, ^) let res2 = [1, 2, 4, 5].reduce(0, ^) res1 ^ res2 // returns missing value 3 You can use XOR to find and restore a missing value! Thanks Primeagen. :p

The best part about The Composable Architecture is that writing tests for your app is so easy that the tests almost write themselves.
