In the past 2 weeks I've played with: 🎙️ gemini live api 🎨 shaders 'n' fx (shaders.com, @threejs.org) 📜 infinite canvases 'n' noodlegrams (reactflow) ⌨️ semantic .md editors (tiptap) ⚽ realtime multiplayer (firebase RTDB ftw) 🧠 bg agents (custom) so. much. fun.

After 6 years of working closely alongside @nerdy.dev I am just rocked by this news. Still not ready to accept it TBH but I stand behind Adam as one of the most genuine, talented, effervescent devs I've ever worked with. If you're hiring snatch him up before I figure out a way to get him back 👀

Time to update your buttons for firebase.studio! Get new links and images with the generator at firebase.google.com/docs/studio/open-in-firebase-studio or programmatically with ``` $ npm install @firebase-studio/open-sdk ```

Used signals, effects, and signal-based viewChild(ren) in Angular for the first time. Feels like a totally different framework in a really good way. (Not to mention standalone components, etc)

Was modernizing a very old (2016 era) Stripe integration today and had the ABSOLUTE JOY of experiencing Stripe's DX again. From interactive docs, to the new in-console workbench, to the CLI and smart object ID scheme... just wow. Craft at its peak.

Wrote up my initial impressions of the new Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model - it's really good, and the streaming mode (where you can stream video and audio to it and get audio streamed right back) is pure science-fiction simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/11/...

Legos, never changed or updated their shapes, everything from day one still works with stuff in 2024. So nice. Sound familiar? Yeah, the web is like that too.

Crickets... and no luck scouring the web. So I started something, currently built as a custom executor for NX (not in any shareable state yet). TBH I'm baffled this isn't already a thing yet for the NX ecosystem.

@iamli.am and I just had a "meeting" where we just used kidpix.app together. Software should be fun again.

Anyone have a really great `nx` monorepo setup, where a single `dev` command can spawn multiple dev servers with a really nice multipane UI, or a tmux, or at least colored prefixes (similar to Turborepo's watch mode)? `nx` seems awesome but a big step back from just `npx concurrently ...`

Will Bluesky at some point support code snippets? Based on the Markdown v. facets docs, seems like maybe no? But gosh would it be nice... ```ts const foo = "bar"; ```
