Web Dev tip 🔥 Did you know you can get a png of any DOM Node by simply right clicking on the markup in the dev tools and selecting 'capture node screenshot'? 📸 Here is an example of some of my new followers as a png. Really handy for all sorts of things! 🙂

If anyone is using react native and looking for observability solutions, we just open sourced our faro react native sdk. This was my first hackathon project for grafana, hopefully it might help you out. 👍🙂 github.com/grafana/faro...

Have any of my followers ever switched from a Samsung galaxy phone to a pixel? I've got the itch to switch phones, but I'm not sure if pixels are decent? My main concern is with the processor. I don't do any gaming, just standard use. I've had Samsung galaxy phones since the s3.

I've been practicing some leetcode recently. I've found that I can't answer questions which I successfully did back in 2020. Does that mean I've got worse as a programmer over the past 5 years? 😂

I went on a bike ride today with a mate and got a puncture. Thanks goodness he's very switched on and had a replacement inner tube. I had no idea what I was doing. Time to nerd up a bit and start learning more about bike maintenance / cycling. 🚵

What is everyone using for AI coding tools these days? Copilot? Cursor? Claude code? I'm currently using cursor for personal projects and copilot at work. Any using Claude Code? Is it worth it? How much is it for normal usage?

What are your thoughts on AI tools with social media, particularly bluesky? 🦋 Do you think they are a good idea? Useful? Or would you rather not see Bluesky have AI content? I feel like twitter has a real problem with AI generated content / spam and am hesitant to bring ai tools to bluesky.

Pro tip: You can WhatsApp yourself for quick notes / ephemeral information that you need easy access to. It's a really easy way to share files / pics etc

I would also like to see @solidjs.com come up through the ranks over the next fews years. Its nicer to write and is just 'better'. It would be cool to see some sort of native bindings (not even sure if that would be possible?).

My bluesky wrapped 2024. 🎁 Earlier on this month I gave blueview.app users the ability to make their own blueksy wrapped. It was a bit of a mixed bag as there were a lot of edge cases which I missed when fetching the data for the video. It was a great learning experience and a lot of fun to do. 😁
