@michael_rispoli @willsentance @FrontendMasters Will's teaching approach is education done right.

The internet brought about a time when we can have immense impact on one another and never know each other. @willsentance is one of those people for me. His courses on @FrontendMasters truly helped me break from mid-level into senior engineer, which was one of my most difficult career hurdles after getting that first gig. Today on CTO Confidential we got to actually meet and talk about what comes next for the profession. A lot has changed since those first JavaScript​: The Hard Parts videos, and we got to discussing what still matters, what might come next, and the things that are still unknown. Some of what's still unknown is sobering. How do you build the tacit knowledge that makes a great engineer if the entry-level work that used to teach it is disappearing? What does an interview even assess for now? Where does someone just starting out find their footing? Some of what still matters is reassuring. If you can't explain it, you don't fully own it. Building real things beats reading about building things. And the human edge, communication, curiosity, and craft is more valuable than ever. What might come next? Will's bet is the physical world. Robotics. Embodied AI. Enormous unsolved problems that will require real engineers to tackle them. It was a genuinely great conversation with someone I've admired from a distance for a long time. Hope you enjoy it. Link in comments...

@leerob @mualphaxi "I invested probably more than any reasonable person would in having an immaculate camera setup." Would love to get a room setup tour or maybe a "Gear I use" section on your blog!

I really enjoyed this conversation with @mualphaxi. We talked about how I fell in love teaching engineering, why I joined Cursor, and even why I live in Iowa (even though I love San Francisco). arenamag.com/articles/the-s…

@viditb Done. Thanks a lot! :)

@samarthdotdev Hi! You can signup here. I'll add more people over time. forms.gle/Nuu3pp2WeusK2e…

Movie Buzz Beta is now live! Starting with a small batch of 50 testers. Still early days so a lot of rough edges but the core algorithm of the app is up and running. As you can see it’s a truly global app, that adapts to your preferences. testflight.apple.com/join/yKTaTtpT

7 years, 6 months, and 9 days later.

@arpit_bhayani Ah, that makes sense! What do you read on? Kindle Scribe?

@samarthdotdev Yes, I have. But I needed multiple blogs combined into one book rather than 10 individual ones, so that I don't clutter my Kindle library.

I wanted to read engineering blogs on my Kindle, so I vibe-coded it :) It's called PageStack - give it a list of URLs, and it turns them into an EPUB that you can load straight onto your Kindle. I have published it as a PyPI package, and the source is available on GitHub. The need was oddly specific and borderline stupid. But that's the point. We are entering an era where everyone will have 10s of personal tools that make their lives easier. Instead of waiting for someone, you can just make one :) Time to read more blogs. Gotta go. Bye.

So this is interesting. I’ve had access to GPT-5 on my Android device for the last 12+ hours now, but not on my iPhone. What could be going on here?

@perborgen Would love to try, @perborgen!

Good one, @lookup_ios @squircleapps!

@shadcn Just a weekend? Woah! I'm planning to play it on the Switch 2.

Tears of the Kingdom completed. A weekend sprint.

We don’t say this enough, but we’re truly grateful to have a military like ours. 🇮🇳 🙏

@GergelyOrosz @timoreilly @addyosmani @KentBeck @chipro @birgitta410 Oh man! Awesome lineup, but 2:00 AM IST. I hope this gets recorded.

Tomorrow (Thursday) you can join me, @timoreilly, @addyosmani, @KentBeck, @chipro, @birgitta410 and many other tech professionals giving our take on how AI will change software engineering - but why software engineers won't be "replaced" by AI or "AI software engineers" (cont'd)

@1Marc What worked for me was brushing my teeth right after dinner. It adds this psychological "food shall not pass" barrier. It's rare, but I am most likely to break that rule when there is a huge gap between dinner and bedtime.

The health advice I struggle with most is not eating/snacking before bed (disrupts sleep and leads to poor choices) Anyone have tips?

Watched a fantastic talk by @aarondfrancis on the #EpicWebConf!

@homsiT @readwise 🙋‍♂️

anyone interested in helping to test a top-secret new @readwise AI feature for your highlights? :)

Hey @bookercodes and @jan_arsenovic, thank you so much for giving us an amazing season one of the @scrimba podcast!

@joshduffney @FocusedWorkApp is pretty nice if you're in the Apple ecosystem.

What's you favorite pomodoro timer? Could be software of a physical device.
