I'm a full stack web dev from Melbourne Australia: Python/PHP, JS/TS, UI/UX, and all related concerns.

My other channel is @chapman.wiki, where I do a little Christian problem-solving.
Going to be a lot of ads to make their money back. :(

#Web #Etiquette for 2026

⛔ If you send me more than one email requesting a review of a purchase, or more than one for every six purchases, I will leave a fair review of your product but deduct stars for bad service, and explain why.

⛔ If you show me a full-page popover that requires me to manually close it, I will close it by closing your entire tab. This includes prompting me to allow notifications. I will go find a different website unless you are helping me more than helping yourself.

I suspect this is a big reason why companies think AI will work for building software; that the humans themselves don't understand the big systems and have learned not to count it as tech debt. --> www.seangoedecke.com/nobody-knows...

I see Bible Gateway has again published their top 100 most read verses of the year. Charting the chapters in Bible Rocket shows a fairly heart-warming distribution. #Bible

OK, if you're looking for openly licensed Bibles and Bible resources in English and a number of other languages of wider communication (LWCs), we've got you covered: bibleaquifer.github.io

The team I'm on has been working on this for two years (and two employers, long story), but … (1/?) #BibleData

Robert Rouse has posted a gallery of Bible visualizations at viz.bible. Some are his, many came from others, some have been around a while, but it's awesome to have them in one place. #bible #bibledata #biblevisualization #visualization

Is groups.io the best modern groups-discussions-over-email service? (Like YahooGroups and eGorups before that.) Or if not, what is? #group #email #discussion #recommendation
Groups.io | Email Discussion Groups & Listserv Alternative
Groups.io is a modern email group service and listserv alternative with no ads. Create mailing lists with calendars, files, wikis, and more. Better than Google Groups or Yahoo Groups.

Bible Rocket can index #Bible references in English and French text, and link them to your preferred translations and sources on the Bible Gateway website. It's a little demo of mine for the `refspy` #python library.

Just saying: It’s never a bad day to read or watch my 2024 talk “Seeing Like a Programmer”—which ranges from domain-driven design and type systems and testing to… legibility and high modernism and moral hazards in the practice of software development (yes, really). v5.chriskrycho.com/elsewhere/se...
Seeing Like a Programmer (LambdaConf 2024) — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho
How do we make good software, and indeed, what makes software good: both as software, and in terms of its place in the world?

A little game for #theology types. Which doctrinal statement from the last 500 years has the following distribution of Bible references?
