Stop Fighting the LLM: Mental Models for Fast, Frustration-Free App Building

I'm live in about an hour at #Minnebar. Come say hi!

Stop Fighting the LLM: Mental Models for Fast, Frustration-Free App Building I'm presenting at #Minnebar on Saturday the 2nd! sessions.minnestar.org/sessions/2062

Designing long and specific commands in the terminal can be hard. I wanted to use my LLM to help, so I built ai-cmd.sh. Just describe the command you want, preview it, and let it run! gist.github.com/StephenFluin/f…

Oh no! Another npm supply chain attack. If you installed npm dependencies today with axios, you might be compromised. herodevs.com/blog-posts/the…

I love understanding my code better.

Have a 3d printer? Ask your local #AI to generate openscad files and then describe the thing you want. OpenSCAD -> STL -> real world works so well.

Almost 7 years to go from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2. KnockoutJS is back! github.com/knockout/knock…

jQuery will always have a place in my heart because it gave us the APIs the browsers needed years before they realized it. infoq.com/news/2026/02/j…

I just donated to the kdenlive (video editor) project. I try to do this once every year to support open source I rely on. Consider supporting your favorite open source tools. Choosing to support open source creates a public good that every human can benefit from.

I'm swapping 4 drives in my NAS. It's going to take weeks (new parity dries, then take old parity drives and swap for individuals) but hopefully the extra 46TB of space is worth it.

@puf Yes it is!

@stephenfluin Is it using *your* voice to call out the numbers?!?

Every year at Christmas the Fluin family plays bingo using bingo.fluin.io. We play for prizes at first, and then to steal. Updating to #angular v21 was cutting it close tonight, but it took about 8 seconds.

Huge props to the Angular team & security researchers. There have been 3 new CVEs in the past couple weeks. This shows that the ecosystem is actively being scrutinized and protected. Silence isn’t safety. Visibility is. 🛡️✨ #known-vulnerabilities" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">herodevs.com/support/nes-an…

It's taken a couple years but Demos With Angular is back! In this video I cover the intro the latest SSR setup and show of deployments with Firebase App Hosting. youtu.be/QWe0ZWFtH5o

I decided to run an Angular V21 launch live watch party. Come watch with me: meetup.com/gdg-tc/events/…

We just announced the #DevFest MN talks! devfest.mn to learn about: * Serverless, Agents, GenAI * Build an MCP Server * Structured & Unstructured Data * The power of non-determinism * Humans in the Loop (HitL) * Firebase app hosting * Community & resilience & more!

The latest Gemini CLI doesn't know what an MCP server is. Wat?

My absolute favorite vibecoding prompt of all time: `prevent firebase initialization race conditions by attempting initialization at most once` It worked... It actually worked...
