Hey look, I added the feature. It's rough around the edges but feel free to share your thoughts. #servicenow #servicenowdev

@appfactory I feel this in my bones.

I've been thinking about what I want to build next. I don't think the answer is less ambition. I think it's more shared ambition. I've built RedwoodSDK, Agent CI, Machinen, and a bunch of other things because I want software to make sense again. I want better tools, better defaults, and better ways for people to build. I'm proud of that work. But I'm also tired of carrying the vision, the product, the story, the community, the money, and the momentum mostly on my own. I still want to build meaningful things. I still want to move fast. I still want to work with people who care deeply and want to figure things out properly. I just don't want to do it alone anymore. That's hard to say publicly, because it doesn't feel like a clean win. But it is true.

@thdxr nice! keep it going!

we're going to hit 1M daily active users in the next few weeks the whole way here almost all the thought leaders kept explaining how what we were doing was wrong, bad taste, wouldn't work, etc none of them were curious enough to ask us what they got wrong

@NThumma Thanks mate

@jacebenson congratulations on winning community award at Knowledge 👍🏽

@skipnewton31 Thank you

@jacebenson, congratulations on your award! Well deserved!!! #knowledge26

@jamesqquick I think. You can get away with just pdf generation. I'm all in on ruby on rails. So whatever apis to do that server side. That being said, I'd want to be able to book it up with a endpoint or something I could hit to generate and email the client. Mvp right?

What tools/products would you use to build a simple invoicing app?

Look. I'm having a lot of fun organising and running nulledge. You should join me and speak or attend. Not sure what it is. Check it out thenulledge.com

@jamesqquick @Cloudflare It's ruby on rails and S3 buckets for the videos.

@jacebenson @Cloudflare Dude awesome! What did you build it with?

Didn't want to pay for frame [io] so I built it myself on @Cloudflare 💪 - video uploads and streaming - feedback via comments and annotations - organize videos by folder and space - share links - versioning of videos - transcript generation

@jamesqquick Quickit.dev. Subdomains for any of your tools. Eg frame.quickit.dev

Need a domain name for a frame io clone for video collaboration. Thoughts? 👀 Bonus points if it includes “quick” and the domain is available 😂

This Thursday 9am est there's a 3 hour event with 10 speakers at this free remote #servicenow conference with some remote networking. Come check it out. Sessions are 15 minutes each. thenulledge.com/2026/nullstack…

@deepakpatelcse Last I checked it was ~260

It's not what you know. It's who. Come meet some #servicenow folks on Feb 5th That's why I built nullHUB. A 90-minute shot of real connection. No fluff. Just people. thenulledge.com/2026/nullhub/

@RealAlanDalton @hvost @TheSeanGoodwin @abookapart Hey, do you want to list out to archive.org to borrow the books?

@hvost @TheSeanGoodwin Since @ABookApart is now closed, I’m trying to track the authors’ preferred ways of making their books available: alandalton.github.io/Authors-Apart/

Sad news — A Book Apart will stop publishing books. A lot of what I learned about design is from their books. They will be missed 💛 (Also if anyone is interested in publishing a book for designers, please reach out 👀)

Nobody cared about my work for 6 years (except for you, twitter). Now I get attention from the people who thought I was doing weird stuff. They ignored me and now they are suddenly curious. Losers don't try, they judge. Winners don't speak, they build.

@heyambrosia love this movie

Exactly one month ago, incredible technologists and builders from 20+ countries came together for the first annual @RedwoodJS conference. This work is more than committing code. It's human collaboration that helps to take the ordinary to the extraordinary. #creatingzeal

Two weeks until the first ever RedwoodJS Conf! Even if you can't make it in person, you can join virtually for free! ticket.redwoodjs.com/invite/87 #RedwoodJSConf

@ajcwebdev @SteinlageScott Eeek! Sorry to hear it!

Someone, anyone, please for the love of god disrupt the airline industry.

Hearing multiple reports that the @openai Code Interpreter model is much better than GPT4 even without writing/running code. I'm ready to call it - it's underselling it to call it a "plugin". Let's call a spade a spade. ChatGPT's new Code Interpreter model is GPT4.5 sneaky!

@ryanchenkie I'm a fan of fastmail, it's like $3/month

I need email for some of my domains but Google Workspace email seems like overkill. What's a free or cheap alternative?
