Happy new year fellow nerds. It’s 2026 …. Let’s go unhinged 😎🤙🔥

I’m rested. It’s time to cook….. 🔥

@matthewmincher I don’t know what’s going on here but I’m here for it 😂

OHHHHH WE'VE GOTTA HOLD ON TO WHAT WE'VE GOT - IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE MAKE IT OR NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT WEW WEW WEWWWWW

I have been gone for a while. But this Dec leave while others are doing Advent of code.... I will be building my own agents protocol for UI facing applications 😎

@matthewmincher Nerd

2025 in books! Standouts for me were the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, Borderlines, The Cuckoo's Egg, and How to Read a Tree bookwyrm.social/user/matthewmi… #yearinbooks

@taylorotwell When is the boy band album dropping? 😂

Laravel, Tailwind, Vue, and Laracasts ❤️

Just spent 4 hours debugging stored procedures….. peaked

While I have a love/hate relationship with Typescript I have to say the Vercel AI SDK is brilliant and a real enabler for some new experiences to be built. Exciting stuff.

Giving opencode a shot with Copilot as a model provider. So far pretty impressive and so nice to have it “just do stuff” and not ask me for permission 500 times to make a file 😂😂

AI makes highly skilled and experienced employees faster. It doesn’t make unskilled and inexperienced employees smarter and more capable.

Where was SwiftUI and Swift Async/Await when I was writing iOS apps in 2017 …. So slick to use and interact with network requests.

I may have cooked my own plugins system 😎😂😂

Laravel blade components are so sick and way underrated!

We are so back…. Gone unhinged

@jeffrey_way Think if it is the case the need for exceptionally robust test suites is even more important to validate the changes

Do you think a desire for code quality and readability will be a thing of the past going forward? Like, why care if a file or class is beautiful… if AI understands it and can rewrite the entire thing in seconds.

I look forward to being one of the few remaining software engineers in a few years who is able to still think for himself without needing to consult an LLM for my every decision or question.

@thdxr JSON in S3

what is the best most minimal headless CMS? we have mixed media, text, images, video etc

Python go brrrr….

vibe coding, where 2 engineers can now create the tech debt of at least 50 engineers

@phl33ch @YouTube Would u be more upset that I have never watched Scrubs or the fact that I was only 8yrs old 😂😂

@vaugenwake @YouTube Reminds me or a 17 year old Phil blubbering away to a specific episode of Scrubs.
