James Paden

Anyone want invited to my board game afternoons?

@MarcoMende5 The site is down now. Are you still looking for someone?

flowcommit.com needs a new captain! After a few months of trying to balance freelance work and side hustles, I’ve realized that I don’t have the bandwidth for flowcommit.com. What started as a low-code tech challenge turned into me learning the WWX stack and launching a small project in record time. This project showed me that my passion lies in building and shipping, not so much in marketing and sales. I genuinely believe someone active in the @webflow community could turn this project into a great side hustle. I can't carry the torch further, but if you or anyone you know in the Webflow community is interested, please reach out!

France is crushing this. Very cool.

AI can whip up a website in 15 seconds flat. But does speed equal quality? @jamespaden reveals his firsthand experience, highlighting what AI-generated sites get right—and where they fall short.

After fooling around with Claude 3.5's new Artifact concept, I'm not sure I'll ever write a line of code again. Slight exaggeration, but this feels a lot like the future—or a precursor of the future. This is the first time I've thought programming was dead.

Text to Sound Effects is here. Our newest AI Audio model generates sound effects, short instrumental tracks, soundscapes, and a wide variety of character voices, all from a text prompt. Available now for all users. Everyone from content creators, video game developers, to film and television studios, uses sound effects to create rich and immersive content. Now, in addition to AI voiceovers, you can generate all of the sounds you need with just a prompt. Everything you hear in this video was generated by ElevenLabs sound and voice models. In this thread, we shared some additional clips that help show off the range of this new model.

Using @getstarkco for accessibility testing was awesome. Highly recommend.

Grammarly.com would be helpful if I remembered it's not grammerly.com

@denicmarko I saw your list of free templates at markodenic.com/best-websites-…. Would you consider adding docraptor.com/free-templates to your list? These are free, MIT-licensed templates designed specifically for HTML to PDF conversion.

@LauraEWeiss16 Any ideas on timeline from the Senate?

The Smith-Wyden bipartisan tax package - expanding the child tax credit & reviving business tax benefits like R&D - passed the House under suspension Huge numbers in favor. Final vote is 357-70. It’s now onto the Senate

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of @highalpha’s newest company, Liminal — a solution empowering regulated enterprises to deploy and leverage generative AI securely. Congrats to the entire Liminal team. #datasecurity #generativeai Link in comments

Founders in NC need to get on the phone with the office of Senator Tillis and tell him we need full R&E deductibility.

@williamsba Loving BC4 though. Keeps getting better (slowly).

Getting ready to officially cancel our Basecamp Classic account. Haven't used it in years but kept it active for archival reasons. First charge was Nov 17th, 2009. Nice run!

@JustSteveKing I'm down

I want to do an experiment. How many of the people following me build, maintain, design, or integrate with APIs? Alongside this, who would be willing to have a chat about APIs with me, one on one or as a panel? Drop a comment if you're up for a chat 👇

@printcssrocks Sounds good to me. I'd be happy to pick it up.

@printcssrocks I'd be interested. What's the ongoing maintenance like?

Relatedly, I just now learned about <colgroup>. WTF.

It's 2023 and I still can't figure out which CSS layout technique to use. None of them fit this design easily.

@morinap Fucking sucks. Heads up, listening to your kid talk about their lockdown drills is even worse. Makes me so damn angry.

One of the biggest rights of passage as a parent is when you drop your eldest child off for their first day of "real" school and you read the flyer posted on the wall on how to stay safe in the event of a school shooting 😑

@jim_brown What do you miss?

I long for the days of the pre-COVID world.

@zackgilbert @igorvolsky @WaysandMeansGOP Yes, this is crushing our small business. The less profitable and smaller you are, the more Section 174 hurts you.

@igorvolsky @WaysandMeansGOP Thanks for the summary! Though I'm sure you're already aware, Section 174/restoring R&D expensing actually affects a lot of small internet businesses. What is currently there will cause a lot of small startups to go bankrupt. twitter.com/mjwhansen/stat…

1/ So @WaysandMeansGOP are starting their mark up of a package of bills they're claiming will provide tax relief for small businesses & everyday Americans. But don't be fooled. The legislation disproportionally benefits the very very very wealthy
