Defrag98 now runs ScanDisk after a blue screen, like Windows 98 did after a bad shutdown. It checks drive C in text mode for about 8 seconds, then the boot splash shows and you're back. Exit skips it.

Defrag98 now has a screensaver mode. Once it's on in Settings, Start takes the page full screen and keeps the screen awake until the defrag finishes.

After extensive and rigorous testing, I can confirm: Opus 5.5 has passed my benchmark ✅

New in Defrag98: custom drives! 💾 Pick your drive size and speed, and make defragging as painful as you want.

Defrag98 has a new Realistic mode. It brings back the actual Windows 98 behaviour: the defrag restarts itself if anything touches the drive mid-run (antivirus, a screensaver), didn't matter.

After deep work sessions, taking time for ourselves is truly restorative. Take care!

SolidJS 2.0 deleted createResource. Data fetching is now a memo that returns a promise: the graph waits on it, nothing re-renders, no dependency array, no await in your components. Wrote up what it looks like for React devs. #solidjs #react #webdev

Code comparison. Solid 1.x: const [user] = createResource(userId, fetchUser). Solid 2.0, the memo returns a promise and the graph waits on it: const user = createMemo(() => fetchUser(userId())).

As much as I love Catppuccin, I don’t think one theme fits everyone. That’s why I added a theme picker to my website 🌈 Which theme would you pick?

Someone created a JS engine for the PSP and achieved running 60fps animations on it using modern web tech. Amazing!

If you see a BSOD on Defrag98, that’s a feature.

7 releases of arbor in 5 days. You can now fuzzy-select worktrees, set up post-create hooks, and configure per-project settings. Also added arbor clean for bulk removal, and improved shell completions. github.com/morellodev/a...

arbor v0.2.4 is out with per-project worktree directories. If you use Claude Code's parallel sessions, you can now keep worktrees inside your project instead of the global ~/.arbor/worktrees. One line in .arbor.toml and you're set. github.com/morellodev/a...

arbor v0.2.2 is out with post-create hooks. I got tired of repeating the same setup steps every time I created a worktree, so now you can automate that. github.com/morellodev/arbor

I’ve just come back from a trip to London, and I was astonished by the level of support shown by the UK and its Western allies for the Ukrainian people in their resistance against Russian aggression. This is Canada House in Trafalgar Square 🇨🇦🇺🇦

💡 Overloaded components with too many props are hard to maintain. Use React’s composition pattern instead—build UI by nesting JSX, not flags. You get clean structure and better scalability. #react #frontend #webdev

Code comparison between two React patterns: the first uses a <Card> component with multiple props (title, content, showFooter); the second uses composition with nested components — <CardHeader>, <CardContent>, and <CardFooter> — to structure the UI.

Obsessed with iOS 26 lockscreen transitions! 😍 The album art animation and clock view switch are straight. #ios26 #apple #iphone #iosbeta #techtrend

🔧 React/Svelte Accessibility Tip: Don’t use <div onClick> for buttons. Use real <button> elements and style them instead. Why? – Keyboard accessible – Focusable – Works with screen readers Semantic HTML makes your UI accessible by default. #a11y #webdev #react #svelte

Side-by-side code example showing a div element with an onClick handler labeled “Don’t do this”, and a corrected version using a button element with the same handler labeled “Do this instead”. Highlights the importance of using semantic HTML for accessibility.
