We live in a world where my bank sent me a paper letter, across the ocean, to notify me that they would be sending me an email message and that I could opt-out of email...

@bernheisel So the lesson we've learned is that building tools in JavaScript is hard and slow? Better rebuild all this JavaScript tooling in some language

Last week I went into a local year 6 class (5th grade) and used showoff.riesd.com to teach about programming. 3 days later, I noticed that some of the kids had logged on later from home and made additional drawings with edits by one of their younger sisters ❤️ 💛 💙 💚 💜

@nickflynndev The thing that got me excited about STEAM was hearing it pitched as STEM focused, but including art in a way that humanizes the learning. For example, learn about math in terms of how you will solve a problem for your family or community. Or SonicPi where you code music

More and more I see STEM changed to STEAM. I don't want to downplay the importance of art in education but isn't STEAM just... every school subject?

@trafnar @ztoolson I think they acquired a business that knows how to make and refine software. Not just the software itself. A team that can to work together, to argue through all the millions of decisions that have to be made and care enough about each other and their users to build beautiful

Figma acquisition shows how hard it is to turn money into software. You'd think for $20B you could build something as good as Figma yourself, but you can't. Software is art.

Do you measure your success (at work or otherwise) more on your input (worked hard) or output (work done)?

Building a project with Salesforce as a partner feels a bit surreal. My day job is getting pretty interesting

@a_wiersdorf Was it replacing a JavaScript dependency? Any time I see more than a few thousand lines deleted my brain immediately assumes that someone deleted yarn.lock

I'm like the fairy god charger in my house. I see unplugged devices, I plug them in and clean the screen.

@a_wiersdorf Follow-up I recently implemented multi-region deployment for showoff.riesd.com with DETS for storage per region and phoenix presence for cross-region awareness. Showoff rooms take only a couple ms to render on the server and are under 50ms for browsers in these regions

@a_wiersdorf I compromised with a @elixirphoenix app that builds all blog entries say compile time and keeps them in memory. It let's me support search while keeping minimal size and latency
