Spending the weekend in California for Blizzcon! Very excited, seeing some friends I haven’t seen since the last one I attended in ‘19. Not to mention it will be a much needed break.

Looking for full-time, remote senior/staff or tech lead level work. TypeScript is my strongest suit, but I'm a flexible polyglot. Boosts for visibility appreciated!

iPhone Duo looks neat! I’m a southpaw though, so a little apprehensive about the right-mounted control cluster. Unlocking with Touch ID seems like it’d be a little awkward. Maybe I’ll test drive it in-store one of these days.

November 5th for the Ocarina of Time remake!! Let’s goooo, it looks nice. Seems like they maybe aren’t doing anything unexpected with the story? 🤔

Thanks to @aturi.to's waypoints package, it was very easy to get a list of clients to display in this popover that I now have on my website. Instead of opening the composer only in Bluesky, you can now click to write a message in an app of your choosing!

We should stop thinking about software as anything other than getting the computer to do what we want it to do for us

Just totally mind blown seeing what folks are doing with Astra, as well as first hand. Some genuinely good starting points for website designs, much better than I’ve seen previous models do. and folks are creating 3D games with it now?! I gotta try that.

oh boy… looking forward to agentically automating my prediction market strategy soon!

Funny that I've never lived in SF, LA, or Denver, the lighter red stretching into northern Missouri _does_ cover my origin, however.

another day, another session of Claude apologizing for slipping into British spellings I do prefer grey over gray though

A slightly more interesting day today: At work, we're doing an AWS workshop, Agentic Design Patterns with Claude. I've already been pretty deep with Claude for a while now, but hopefully learn something new. and then halfway through the day, off to a new endodontist! Not looking forward to that.

Now have a sensible landing page. It will tell you a little bit about what Mooring is, and allow you to preview exactly what your site would look like before even logging in. Check it out! mooring.page
mooring.page
Your site is already written.
Mooring gathers your Bluesky profile, your writing, and your career into a professional site at your own domain.

will stancil is engaging with the Nuclear Discourse Button. i of course said this almost a year ago, and this website was absolutely _not_ ready for the take back then. let's see how it goes now. i think he is right though. gleefully using the word "clanker" makes you a bad person, imo.
But when you start to treat an LLM with cruelty, the only thing you're really revealing is what you have in your heart, not whether the machine has one. And if agents are going to be showing up in more and more spaces on our lives, developing slurs that are based on real slurs used for real humans to describe them doesn't seem like the way to go. Terms like "clanker" and "wireback" follow the exact linguistic patterns used to dehumanize actual people. Practicing this language - even toward AI - normalizes the social patterns that enable cruelty toward humans.

A round of polish, and jzweifel.dev is looking nicer :) You can preview what the site might look like for you (or any handle!) without logging in. Type in eg mooring.page/s/jcsaltereg... to try. Planning on some more polish on the sites, then working on the management side and landing page.

I’ve been letting the machine run on a few projects for a little while now, and I haven’t been as deep in the code. So I decided to tackle a new project, just doing some data analysis over the firehose and historical data, and learning Gleam and BEAM. First time, and seems neat so far!

Has anyone done “discord presence detection, but as a standalone atmosphere app” yet? Thinking of like a minimal desktop daemon that could run standalone or plugin to eg. a future Roomy desktop app, and publishes out records when you are currently playing something, accumulates your playtime, etc.

First blog post! Some thoughts on a project I'm working on, Fahrenheit (tangled.org/jzweifel.dev/fahrenheit), which I'm using to build my personal site (jzweifel.dev).

As more of a backend guy, it’s been cool having the robots spin up a quick and dirty UI on whatever I’m building. However I feel like I’m missing an opportunity to level up my own design skills. Any recommendations on where to start? I was thinking I’d boot up Figma and start moving boxes around.

Hello world! New account, but not new to Bluesky. I continue to be excited to see everything you wonderful people are building. Protocol-minded folks will easily find my other account; let’s keep it our secret for now. 🤫 Can’t wait to share some of what I’ve been building and connect with y’all!
