That is to say, we almost launched our website today to commemorate this special moment, but decided against it because: a) you should never launch before it’s ready, b) we get all our clients through referrals, and c) we’re kind of notorious for not having a website, so why ruin it now? (2/2)

Ten years ago, a kid with a dream decided he wanted to work for himself in web development. And @wewowweb.com was born. The first logo was drawn on a sheet of A4 squared notebook paper so the lines would be straight. It was edgy—literally. (1/2)

Got tired of asking the same questions every week, so I built a little something - a manga tracker for my son’s collection - over the weekend. My sanity restored. 👌🏻 mangart.ninaingal.si/en-us/

Track your manga collection: owned volumes, series still being read, and next targets to hunt. A bold black-white-red...

Still from Rogue One. An imperial commander asks Mads Mikkelson

"Bluesky? Really? A man of your talents?"


He responds: "its a simple life."

For close to 10 years, my company has operated with a website that looked exactly like the screenshot below. For a mostly solo developer, operating in the IT space and mostly receiving word of mouth client recommendations, I sometimes wonder how we managed to survive. 😅 New website incoming... 🤓

Kot večina večno nesrečnih angleških navijačev sem še za vsakega upal, da je the one. Še Southgateove grde igre smo se navadili z upanjem, da je mogoče treba igrat tako pa potem zmagaš. Če jih on ne zrihta, se seznam the one kandidatov besno skrči. Biti fan Anglije je bolj diagnoza kot užitek.

Love Anthropic & use Claude daily, but denying access to Fable for non‑US paying users means Claude joins ChatGPT on my "should replace" list. This move will only drive more people to abandon US models in favour of Chinese alternatives. Great blog by @mitsuhiko.at, you & your LLM should read it.

Switched from node to Bun recently and I'm loving the experience. Updating a binary version with one command may just be near the top of the list. 😍

Recently acquired a Echolens - one of these digital disposable camera clones that are a little more eco-friendly, but still don’t allow you to pixel peep before your 52 shot roll is up - so that I can document the life a little more frequently and have less “I hate photo editing” excuses…

Vibe coded a basic @svelte.dev app which displays the NFL playoff picture, since it's soon to be Wednesday in Europe and the official #NFL Playoff picture page still displays the playoff standings as of last week. 🫠 Maybe I should slap a "playoff probability by next nextGen stats" at the top. 🤔

Recently, I've been playing with the idea of porting @laravel.com's Eloquent ORM to the Javascript ecosystem. Probably spent way too many side-hustle hours on this one, but we made it to the "Houston, we have a rough prototype" phase. It makes @svelte.dev's remote functions shine even brighter! 😎

Here’s to hoping this feature request starts moving in the right direction sometime soon as the local setup for OSS models is still slightly more complicated than it should have been. github.com/ollama/ollam...

Ollama UI support for MCP tools · Issue #11603 · ollama/ollama
Currently the Ollama UI does not support MCP / tool calling. Since it is a desktop app it makes sense to provide access to tool calling.

I don’t think the .com analogy necessarily applies to the major LLM providers, but rather a bunch of companies that simply build a slightly different UI, then pipe all the users input through a large provider API and call themselves the pioneer AI startup. But that’s just my understanding…

No problem, can you DM me or send me an email where I can raise the issue? I went looking for one in the Github README, but it seems like it isn’t listed. I don’t think public issue and/or Discord post would be a good idea in this case. Thanks for getting back to me. ✌🏻

As for the database—same thing. SQLite allowed me to use the local DB and SFTP it to staging. Want to revert to a previous version of the DB? It’s a file. Swap it. Want to store a cleaned version? It’s a file. Store it. 5/6

I contained the emails by using MailHog on the staging server. Dummy files were processed locally, and then the files from the storage folder were SFTPed to the staging server using Cyberduck. 4/6

I needed a simple strategy so that the files could be (re)named in a predictable way, and we could swap them at will. I also wanted to give them the option to test using production data, but without worrying about unintended side effects, such as test email leaks. 3/6

Setting the stage: I was given 4,000 dummy files by the client, which have strict naming rules, so that we can extract the data and create DB records from them. The client asked whether these could be replaced with the real files at a later date, once out of QA. I said, “Sure!” 2/6
