Learn accessibility: the most important software skill that bootcamps, video courses and tutorials often fail to teach. Become a better engineer, become...an accessibility monster! More info coming this week, for now, come join the server! Discord 👉🏼 BecomeA.Monster

@eddiejaoude No because I, like most devs, have 3 different subscriptions and just switch them out when they run out. 🤣 I do watch context length to prevent drift and keep things fast though. I will probably care more when this venture backed AI gravy train dries up and I pay per use! 💗

Do you watch your AI token usage?

@cubedhuang nice catch, fixed! thanks bud. 💗

hi @GrahamTheDev i was reading your ultimatemotherfuckingwebsite.com (great article btw) and the aria-labelledby link goes to a dead page: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

Congrats to this week's top authors! @GrahamTheDev, Adam - The Developer, @AdrianTheHactus, @m4rri4nne, @dannwaneri, Zayne Turner, and Anna. Feat. "Mean Time to Understanding" in the age of AI, rethinking technical debt as a management issue + more! dev.to/devteam/top-7-…

@FrancescoCiull4 @init_bobjames @GIMP_Official @inkscape Looong way from needing pro, still working out shortcuts to cut etc. hahah But one day I hope I need the extra quality and features!

@GrahamTheDev @init_bobjames @GIMP_Official @inkscape great choice. I have the pro version now, with one-time payment I went pro and it's a supergood deal

15% increase in prices on already over-priced services? Insta-cancel! What are the best alternatives (one-off payment or free) for: - After Effects - Illustrator - Photoshop As that is basically all I use?

@razvanmuntian photopea is good, but give affinity a go (it is free now), it does vector and photo in a single canvas and that is super powerful! Bit more to learn if you have never used illustrator, but worth it IMO.

@GrahamTheDev for video editing, I use Davinci for graphics Figma and photopea.com

@whoismikey @eddiejaoude Yeah but then you need the app that generates a push notification to check the app that reminds you to check the app. 🤪

@eddiejaoude @GrahamTheDev Then an app to remind you to check the app that reminds you to check on people 😁 j/k

I feel like vibe coding an app this weekend that would be useful to the community, any ideas? 🤔

@Gozar_4 @FrancescoCiull4 Late night drives and windows open in tunnels is all I do nowadays! hahaha

@GrahamTheDev @FrancescoCiull4 Late night drives with this 💯

@FrancescoCiull4 The skyscraper technique I mentioned: backlinko.com/skyscraper-tec… Needs updating to match the new world where shareability is more important than SEO.

@acolombiadev @FrancescoCiull4 yeah, kinda had to buy her once I saw (and heard) her! 😅 But being Italian it will be an expensive hobby soon I have no doubt! 🤣💗

@GrahamTheDev @FrancescoCiull4 That’s pretty!

@init_bobjames @GIMP_Official @inkscape Video editing I just went davinci. For graphics ended up going for Affinity and it is very very good!

@GrahamTheDev afraid i cant help for after effects or premiere but for illustrator and photoshop i now use OSS @GIMP_Official and @inkscape 🙌 a learning curve when i first switched but very functional for my needs what did you find re: video editing + after effects?

@lovelacecoding @msdevelx you asked for people to judge you, there was obviously nothing wrong with the code so we had to attack another way and be obnoxious by reminding you that MVPs are only allowed to build 3000 file mega repos in 2 days and not have fun anymore!!!

@msdevelx I didn't know I wasn't allowed to build a weekend project that I need because it's too simple. I'm sorry.

Last weekend I built a URL Shortener API for louel.la I just decided to make the repo public so that the internet can judge me 😆. Enjoy! github.com/LouellaCreemer…

@WebinyCMS @ThePracticalDev Yup, same with humans to be fair, we all have that engineer who is a whizz and we start to trust them too much. The only problem now is instead of one top tier dev you have the output of 200!

@ThePracticalDev @GrahamTheDev “Plausible competence” is the scary part of AI code. It looks right until it quietly isn’t.

AI writes code instantly, but can you read it? A look at "Mean Time to Understanding" and why the human element is the new bottleneck in software engineering. { author: @GrahamTheDev } dev.to/grahamthedev/m…

@eddiejaoude Loool, yeah I thought BST was British Standard Time. GMT then :-P Drop me a DM when works for you bud.

@GrahamTheDev Great you are still in summer time haha, I wish I still was but most of us moved to GMT recently. I am in the same timezone as you for the next couple of weeks - let organise it, I would love to catch up

Do you think I will make 200k followers before the end of the year? 🤔 What is your 2025 goal?

@eddiejaoude Hahaha, really Eddie? You know I am not a nomad, BST...its always BST! haha

@GrahamTheDev Sounds good! What time zone are you in?

@eddiejaoude If you do, let me know what you think and any additions or improvements. Would be appreciated. 💗

@GrahamTheDev I look forward to having a read

Been a while since I wrote anything. So here is a talk idea I have partially formed. Would love your feedback: dev.to/grahamthedev/m…

@eddiejaoude If you have any time 29th or 30th I can probably do a late one so it works for your current timezone. 💗

@GrahamTheDev lol haha thanks! How are you? We need to have a proper catch up soon

@malvvvada Now I am following! 🤦‍♂️ They should really put a hyphen in that name!

@GrahamTheDev i made the rug using procreate

@malvvvada I am confused whether that is a command or a store / shop? (and I am too afraid to google "procreate store") 😂💗

@GrahamTheDev procreate ❤️
