This is why we need sovereign EU LLMs, the tech bros keep trying to push their imperialism into my SaaS 🙅‍♂️

Can someone at @microsoft.com check on the Bing team? I think they're not OK 😭

Found some screenshots from the first release, it's always a struggle to design a screen for a new product, and you don't have enough things to fill the space, and now I have the exact opposite problem 😅

February 1st 2026, I'm still better at writing code than a $100M model. Take that tech bros 💁🏻‍♂️✨

Users: can webhooks send the list of monitors affected by an incident? Me: Sure, here's a JSON editor with custom templating, loops, dynamic validation and hints.

I hate this timeline so damn much

5 months of consecutive growth for @phare.io It ain't much, but still cool to see 😎

Migrating from Stripe to Paddle was certainly challenging 😰

We have a very similar growth 🤝

Added a Captcha on @phare.io registration page, based on Altcha, self-hosted, it's actually just a few lines of codes. No dependency on third party services, no user IP sent to Californian tech bros, virtually 0 impact on human users. And you can't see it unless you act like a bot 🤖

Reworked all pages layout of Phare over the past 2 weeks, added search / filters and many small goodies. A ton of work to make, but I'm in love with the results.

It would have been nice to receive that email when the issue started 3 days ago, before users start subscribing five times in a row, leaving be with a bloody mess to fix 🥲

Thinking European tech company are not relevant ? You're just not looking at the right metrics 🇪🇺💪🥇🥈

It's not much, but hopefully useful 🙏

That is a great example of what not to do when making UI. The green toggle is locked 🤷‍♂️

Discovered today that I passed Vercel's free plan limit more than a year ago, never got an email about it. I'm now committed to sacrifice that old domain to find out if there's a ceiling.

Nicolas Beauvais @nicbvs.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

I can't remember the last time I had to implement drag and drop, probably more than 5 years ago. I thought this was a solved problem these days with some kind of native API. Turns out it's still annoying 😩

Did I just receive my first DDOS ? 😅 If that's the case, that was a shitty attempt, and I thought I was worth more than 30 req / s

What in the greenwashing hell is this, I'm not a climate scientist, but I'm a bit sceptical that buying an SUV weighting 2 tons help reduce earth temperature. Unless the target is to speed run to the next ice age 🤷‍♂️

I read this article on the Uneed blog www.uneed.best/blog/the-tru..., and it resonated a lot with a finding I had last week. There's 2x more users that subscribe to my onboarding sequence than my newsletter. I was certain it would be the reverse by a good margin, but I'm apparently the weird one.

It's upgrade season for Phare, Laravel 10 -> 12 Inertia 1 -> 2 Larastan 2 -> 3 Pest 2 -> 3 PHP 8.3 -> 8.4 It took 6 hours to upgrade (with a Shift 😭), now time to fix all the static analysis errors

It took more than two years for @phare.io to finally have an affordable plan. I'm happy to announce it's going to be released this month, and it's very aggressive compared to the current market price 😎
