Of all the things @syntax.fm has taught me, learning Roller Coaster Tycoon was written in Assembly by one dude might be the craziest 🤯🤯

About 3 weeks into vim motions, why not use them during a demo. What could go wrong??

I'm curious essentially if given historical data how well could we have an agent diagnose and propose the fix during a red alert event. And how quickly?

Austin Baune @abaune.bsky.social · Jul 24

Has anyone #vibecode a red alert? How successful was it?

#vscode vim extention is terribly slow. Was planning on using it until I was fluent enough for neovim. Maybe a forcing function for neovim.

Any suggestions?

Front end frameworks today mostly do the same thing. When choosing think about

1. How do I want to handle routing?
2. How complex is my server?
3. What comes with the most out of the box tooling to accomplish my task?

Refactoring can not only help out your codebase, but it can also promote forced learning when you break all the things. #protip

Is there an industry standard for what a login page should look like? Box with inputs, vertical page layout, etc? #webdev

Today I learned that Object.freeze(obj) is a thing. This makes the obj immutable, with the gotcha that it is shallow.

Converted a somewhat large code base from #webpack to #rspack recently and saw the build time go from ~40s to ~2s!

The overall package size increased slightly 🫣 (any tips here?) but the build time saved is a big win.

I've been primarily in React land, but recently have been trying Svelte with the release of Svelte 5. Gotta say that I'm really liking it so far. #svelte
