Worked on some view transitions with my agent to smooth-out some janky animations. Once we got it perfect it said "enjoy the butter!" Finally, we can agree on something 🧈 ✨

Made a Slack :cmyes: emoji today for a dumb thing I sometimes say and will not be apologizing for releasing it into the world wild web 🤷

Crossed a pretty satisfying personal milestone today about 20 months in the making: 24 doses of vaccines to retrain my immune system to be resilient in the modern world post-transplant. Very glad to be done with arm punches for a while, very grateful and fortunate to get them.

AI is going to make mistakes in lots of industries: tech, medicine, food and law. But the irony that people running one of these probably have the technical skills to know better 😅

I'm willing to pay for convenience. Time is precious. Plenty of apps and services I gladly pay for. It's also become convenient to cook right-sized, tailored solutions with workflows, whistles, AI and data where you want them. Made my own podcast client and todo/grocery SaaS 😎

Thanks to @rzen.net and @humanmade.com for @loopconf.com last week ✨ It was a fantastic, cup-filling event 🌞

Dusting off my passport next week for the first time in years—heading to a country I’ve never visited. First season of a fun new job done. Two years post–stem cell transplant; scanned clear of cancer this week. Enjoying brand new moons & brand new suns 🌞 youtu.be/XZf_V_iqvVo?...

Package registries like npm will be remediated 🤷 the real burning question is whether ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot etc. have speedy and reliable processes for un-learning malware once it's in a user's history, in a model, etc... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4516... 😬

Sometimes when I hit a wall in containers, CSS or compilers I just remind myself I push pixels and PRs not quantum particles or launch planetary positioning instruments 🤓 Keeps me grounded 🌎 youtu.be/5zJbE7J3X8I

Ever used additional CSS classes on WordPress Blocks and wished it was easier to see and remove them? github.com/0aveRyan/cla...
An animated GIF showing the Advanced panel in WordPress Block Editor with ClassAct, a plugin for easily visualizing and managing CSS classes in a tokenized input field in addition to the native text input. Changes in one field reflect in the other. Makes for one-click removal of CSS class names and easier visualization on a Block with a lot of classes.

Well @bsky.app really does feel like early Twitter with outages and all, almost endearing 🤗 When it goes down is it fair to say "the sky is falling" 😅

I'm a big believer in using humor and levity near the beginning of most things, so here's a starter slide from a recent slide deck to start this new social ✨
Slide title: Choose your player.

Player 1: AI gonna steal my job, followed by reality TV meme plus "and SSN, and biometrics and..."

Player 2: AI gonna do my job! Followed by meme of guy tapping his temple with knowing smile and "AI chat and video call clone 🙏🏻"

Player 3: ... wait... that fad still goin'? Followed by dog on couch giving side eye and "you sure it's not crypto?"

Footer: ✨ #AI #SparkleEmoji ✨

X isn't quite an ex, but it's pretty solidly in "It's Complicated" territory. I'll miss what I had there much more than Facebook, but rapidly seeing more of the kind of feed value here that Twitter had, wasn't here a few weeks ago 🌞
