While working at GitHub in 2014, we chose to remove Git notes from the UI. I remember lengthy discussions but not the details. I think the main reason was that the GitHub UI already covered most Git notes use cases. #GitHubStories

Elixir and its ecosystem excel at delivering a single codebase that seamlessly operates across all tiers, outperforming any other platform I've tried. #MyElixirStatus

Are TV UIs getting worse? They're sluggish. Slower than a sloth trying to migrate. Why reinvent the UI for every device? I miss my '80s TV with instant buttons and no remote, just a reason to get off the couch.

TUIs are making a comeback, which is fantastic for an old person like me.

Is it only me or has macOS 26 made figuring how to move windows with your mouse a bad experience? I constantly catch myself not knowing where to grab a window from.

Nothing against Advent of Code, but what if I develop 12 tiny productivity tools this year instead? Just thinking out loud. 🙂

My Claude Code conversations started getting a bit out of hand, so I created a `claude-sessions` tracker to Map meaningful labels to session IDs, track multiple sessions per label, and resume your work with a simple command. github.com/petros/clau...

If you're just starting as a programmer and nearing graduation, what's the best path to ensure your skills remain relevant and adaptable? What should you specialize in?

What's with projects leaving GitHub? dillo-browser.org/news/migrat... — I remember the opposite back in they day. This time it's because there's too much JavaScript in the UI. 🤔

After learning about @ziglang's move to @codeberg_org, I decided to create a new Codeberg account. Either their sign-up process is terrible, or I'm missing something, because I ended up stuck in a no-user land. Their CAPTCHA is impossible to solve. I give up.

I'm convinced that a relatively experienced programmer, along with Tidewave and @elixirphoenix, can achieve great things—even start and run a small business. #MyElixirStatus

I'm drafting a prompt for Claude Code and need to convey the desired simplicity of the final app. It will be used for managing our building expenses. I want to avoid expressions like "Some users are so incapable, they can't even operate an elevator."

I've worked with numerous editors across various web apps for years, but nothing compares to GitHub's simplicity when editing issues. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but I think it's because it doesn't interfere or make decisions for you.

As an introvert, I was terrified of public speaking. Then, I took a stand-up comedy workshop and performed at three open mics. After that, public speaking felt easy. Stand-up comedy is the ultimate challenge. Stepping out of my comfort zone really paid off.

I imagine the Internet is gradually filling up with AI generated, bloated code. AI is trained off that. The cycle continues. I wonder if simplicity should be somehow ingrained in the models and the agents.
