It's amazing how many problems in software development have already been solved. Maybe the trick to getting good is taking the time to learn about them.

Equal parts awful and rewarding.

Awful because the job search has been humiliating. Rewarding because I'm proud of what I've been building

Gotta say, the lack of non-stop AI related discourse on this platform is quite refreshing

fellow fsharp devs, what settings do you put in fantomas to stop unecessary line breaks, or do you prefer code to be spread out?

What if instead of distancing yourself from people, you told them why you were upset?

Girl, are you generative AI? Because your behavior doesn’t seem to be guided by laws or basic decency.

friends, how many podcasts with a single host do you listen to?

I'm doing that thing again where I get SO into a project that I'm neglecting my previous focus. These days it's the fsharp/fable + wails app getting precedence over Beacon. Functional programming is just too much fun!

It's so easy to want to overuse the pipe operator in #fsharp

do you ever just feel bummed when you work hard to get your code compiling, and tests passing, just for there to be a bunch of rumtime errors?

I think I'm too far left to not want to vomit when I go on Twitter
November 28, 2025 at 5:01 PM
why does it seem like bun is more popular among atproto devs than in other communities? should I start using it instead of node and pnpm?

To anyone who uses @astro.build with starlight, how useful would it be to have a plugin that generates a changelog for updated content? I made one for updated pages in my digital garden that renders a colored diff
