@codevsdev some of the best memories i have is from scavenging local book stores trying to figure out how the hell protected mode worked. Then one day .. i found a DOS system manual, it had LDT and GDT bit structures in it.. never been so happy :D </nerd>

how did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube... nothing?

@bas_fijneman Congrats! I'm procrastinating on writing marketing copy for my cms. at least i was working on other stuff that moves the needle!

Honest Sunday check-in after a week of PufferPages: 🥳 >100 Downloads 🤑 €13 MRR 🫶 Lot of positive feedback Currently busy with ASO localization and Distribution on TT/IG! How about your honest Sunday Check-in? 👇🏼

Youtube has pushed me into a weird recommendation niche :D It's crazy how AI generated music can shred so hard (albeit predictably).

@bas_fijneman You don't want to be subscribed to Couch Investors!?!? Do the mails have a weird set of headers?

help someone is spamming me in gmail.. anyone knows wtf this shit is

i really like how AI has enabled me to write all the little bits of personal software that i've been thinking about. not necessarily anything useful to other people, but scratching my itches. this is monmon, a little network monitoring tool (for now)

@bas_fijneman Congrats!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sorry for being afk here but I just submitted my first ever app to the app store! I spend exactly 11 days on it! now it's fingers crossed if it will get accepted! yes I need to redo some ASO screens but whatever I SHIPPEDDDDDDDDD!

@pilcrowonpaper Nice to get yourself a birthday present haha

Pulled the trigger, had the education discount and it's going to arrive sometime around my birthday M5 MacBook Air, 32GB memory, 512GB storage, US keyboard

now the @exohcms foundation theme has a colour randomiser that shows interesting colour combinations. probably this is good enough for now, moving on to getting it into the rendered theme html now!

i've been working on the theme config page for the @exohcms foundation theme, it's coming along nicely i think! not too many dials, some cool presets. what do you think?

@bas_fijneman Don't forget the oliebollen!

Silicon Valley has chatgpt Silicon Valley has claude Silicon Valley has gemini Silicon Valley has grok Netherlands has stroopwafels Netherlands has bitterballen Netherlands has hagelslag Netherlands has gouda your country has?

Why are we maintaining servers for websites that barely change? Give clients the rich editing experience they expect; publish the public site as pre-rendered solid-state HTML to the edge; and spend less time babysitting databases, plugins, and servers. exohcms.com/features/deplo…

@yashmp2004 tcl is pretty crazy .. and lisp makes you think twice about what you're reading

which programming language has the ugliest syntax?

@PureVPNcom did something change in the chrome plugin? i have to login every day now~

@theo I like how i can open it one folder up from my projects and have it understand across all of it. I also like Jetbrains products better, but really dislike their ai implementation.

Are you still using the CLI versions of your preferred agent instead of desktop apps like Codex App, Conductor, or T3 Code? Tell me why below. Genuinely curious.

@heysidoku Very cool, I've noticed in other parts of the development cycle as well that these tools really help tighten the feedback loop with the customer. Such a big deal!

our process looked very different a year ago. we used to start with IA, wireframes, then Figma. felt like we were spending forever before the client could even see anything real. and the wild part is design was never linear to begin with. we just hadn't figured out how to speed up the right parts. so we changed it. we now start by vibe coding inside Claude. surprise surprise lol. it's become a thinking buddy for the early stage. what information to show, how data should flow, what the baseline UX needs to be. instead of spending days wireframing assumptions, we have something real to click through and react to almost immediately. it also helps us prototype interactions and animations way earlier than we used to. so we're finding the right problems at the right stage instead of discovering them way too late. once that foundation is solid, we move into Figma. that's where the brand language comes in ideating on the themes, look and feel, etc. and with the Figma MCP we can pull our designs straight into Claude and have it tinker with them directly. thank god for that. honestly the best investment I've made this year is 2 weeks of really learning Claude and a $100 Claude Max subscription. we skipped so many steps we used to think were non-negotiable. happy this new era breaks my beliefs every day.

@VinciRSS Flutter is pretty cool for desktop apps as well

I lowkey can't blame softare devs for writing webslop desktop apps. QT6 is so annoying to work with. Are there even any other choices if you want to make something that works on MacOS, Windows and Linux?

@_KanyeDev Just don't use one. You probably don't need it.

Choosing a Flutter state management solution takes longer than actually building the app. Change my mind. 😅

Insane! Just get a renewal notification from Godaddy about my xin.solutions domain saying it will renew at almost 600USD PER YEAR I'm pretty sure I paid $40 2 years ago. EXTORTIONATE

@ritu_twts there's a package for that! npmjs.com/package/is-even (can't believe it's got 300k downloads per week)

what’s stopping you from coding like this?
