@SibyAlwyn @iamfra5er I think especially in London we’ve got some decent startups, probably some work to do up north in the UK but we’re getting there
English
@iamfra5er Literally at a startup here, this is wrong. Not as many as America but it’s not bad
English
@petecodes I didn't like to be told what to do. I didn't like to commute. I didn't want to wake up early with an alarm.
English
@tillythecoder Usually Vue and Inertia but I’m using just blade and alpine a lot more recently

@samhuckaby My fiancée doesn’t use the shift key for capitals, she turns caps lock on and off.
English
I just found out that my wife doesn’t know the ctrl+c / ctrl+v shortcuts. She has been right-click pasting things her whole life
I’ve failed you all.
English
@petecodes I started swimming and doing spin classes with my fiancée this year and ended up losing 5kg in 6 months
I usually run like 10-15k a week and used to gym but I’ve struggled losing any weight for years before this
English
84kg now
Long walks and smaller dinners seems to be helping
I want to get below 80kg by the end of the year
Pete@petecodes
I'm at 84.6kg now What's your advice for getting below 80kg by end of the year? What I'm doing: • lifting weights • running • cutting down on sugar • cutting down on carbs in the evening

@T_Zahil @HackerResidency Makes sense! I had a feeling it might be but I wasn’t sure how you would work out whether it’s one or two dots
English
@kaitrenbath @HackerResidency Total completion!
I don’t know if that make sense from an outside perspective ahah, I’ve been doing that for years

Update - not the news I was hoping for today.
I thought I was getting the main operation this morning, then being discharged in a day or two.
Instead, they assessed the swelling/a blister on my leg posed risk of infection if they went ahead as planned - so I had an intermediary operation to help alleviate that.
Which means I'm in here for at least a week or two longer than we thought.
C'est la vie.
Things could be worse though:
- I have a great support network keeping me well fed and entertained.
- our amazing community at @RamenClubHQ are keeping the co-working space running nicely.
- I'm reading enough Stoicism to almost convince myself I'm Marcus Aurelius. Audentes fortuna iuvat.
So I'm using the time to catch up on some long delayed reading! On the list:
- The Art of Gathering by Priya Patel
- Setting the Table by Danny Meyer
- Recursion by Blake Crouch
Any recommendations for books, reads, indie games, whatever, hit me up!
Charlie 'Ramen Space’ Ward 🍜 (ramenspace.com)@charlierward
🚨 trigger warning - broken bones 🚨 Story time... on Monday, in a freak (and slightly funny) accident, I smashed my left leg into pieces. (Seriously). Now I'm no radiographer, but that x-ray looks pretty bad to me. There goes the football career? I had quite a lot of plans (that involve being able to stand/walk) over the next few months, both personally and professionally. Going to weddings/festivals. Running Ramen Space. Moving house. Etc etc. So this feels pretty unfair and untimely. But when is breaking your leg ever fair and timely? And why shouldn't this happen to me? What makes me so special? It is what it is, and on the flipside, I've also seen the best side of humanity over the last few days. From the ambulance crew and nurses/doctors. To my girlfriend/family/friends and everyone else who's shown up for me since Monday. It's hugely appreciated and I won't forget it. The irony of being a 'Ward' in a hospital ward for the first time isn't lost on me, and I'm trying to make the most of the free time. So catching up on reading, a spot of vibe coding (Stoicism Chrome Extension for myself had to be done), this sweet dinosaur colouring book my sister got me, simply appreciating having a solid community around me, and that my health isn't worse than it is. Thank you for reading - I'll be back very soon! 😎

@benstokoe @markszymik @catalinmpit If you’re into React, you’ll like Inertia.js
It acts as a bridge between your FE and BE and passes the BE responses as props. Keeps everything in one repo
You can generate your TS types from your backend responses as well so your types are always up to date with your backend

@adamwathan Is it not the same for some of your old info products?
I can imagine some are a bit outdated but the principles in refactoring to collections and refactoring UI must still be relevant
English
Being a very successful author has gotta be the best gig on the planet.
• No one to manage
• No customer support
• Nothing to maintain
• Many don't get recognized on the street
• Writing is fulfilling
The "very successful" part is very important and very hard though 🙂

@ninjaparade @azath0th This one’s just a small SEO tool that I’ve wanted to build for a while for monitoring dead links and orphaned pages
English
@kaitrenbath @azath0th Is it that football app we were discussing?
Nice work buddy.

@simonhamp I’m on a completely different time zone by this point, can’t sleep past 3am

I talked to a lot of people at Laracon.
Almost everyone said the SAME THING about why they come back (or why they already know they'll be back).
So I made a video talking about it (and some of my favorite things announced at Laracon 👀)
hint: so many things.

@1stevengrant @DerekAndSusan The hike up there alone is worth it, don’t think I would’ve made it without the air con in the gift shop though. Enjoy!
English
I'm so happy...never thought I'd get to Redrocks never mind get to see one of my favourite bands tomorrow night in @DerekAndSusan
Doing the hike thing today 😍
