After about a year, on and off, I am veeeery happy to release TWINKLEPLOP, a syntax highlighter of tremendous power! The speed of prism with the customisation of Shiki. twinkleplop.pngwn.at

In this case it actually was Codex

eh

OK here we go

We had to invent AI in order to make codemirror usable to the average dev

I am so switching to OpenAI if @anthropic.com does this ha ha Hell, I'll even go to the chinese models

@jamesomalley.co.uk isn't this what you were advocating for ? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Me: It's time to build Weather: no 🌞

you had me at ascii globe

I'm so looking forward to this!

if you're celebrating people getting laid off from one of the very few companies that was consistently contributing to a fully open source product, because you think that css cascades are really that important, really take a long hard look at your priorities

Thrilled to announce the very first 25+ speakers (more to add soon) for our #CityJSLondon event taking place this April speakers include @tej.as @thekitze.bsky.social @danielroe.dev @nikkitaftw.bsky.social @crockford.bsky.social @scottspence.dev Register now london.cityjsconf.org

Thank you to the PM/dev who finally put this in gdocs

Guess we doin' triangles now ▲

@goodenough.us Any more info (or a repo) available about your thermal printer project?

The Telegram homepage is delightful

Office day 🌞

ok @danabra.mov got me out of the cynicism

Best commit

I've been quiet here on the work front, and never made an announcement 🥁 But this year I joined Yoto! It's an audio player for children that aims to entertain without the need for screens. Why does an audio player need a developer advocate? You'll find out soon 😄

This is amazing! I just wish more companies dared do this

Hello city centre

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

" • Node.js 18.20.0+ supports both `assert` and `with` • Node.js 18.0.0 - 18.19.x only supports `assert` • In Node.js 22, the `assert` keyword was completely removed, so `with` is required." Do open-source, they said, it will be fun, they said

@philhawksworth.dev 👋 can I DM you?

🚨 PSA for everyone that Ebay uses your *personal* data for AI training Opt the hell out (and probably use another platform)

The latest in AI weirdness, Claude decided to replace my Math.PI with 3.14 ok then 🤷‍♂️

For people who tried it, how's Claude 4 ? Is it good ? 3.7 wasn't an improvement for me

What an unforgettable speaker lineup! Every speaker brought something unique to the table, leaving everyone inspired and ready for action. Huge thank you for making this event extraordinary 💕

That train has been decelerating for 20mins I think I've gone back in time

Let's go for day 2 of #devoxxuk

Actually crazy how much more fulfilling your photography feels when you have a website of your own. Curating your own gallery and having things where you want to be, without having to care about algorithms or likes on Instagram is just so refreshing. Quite happy with mine now 😼 #believeinfilm

I love the colour palette 🎨 Looking forward to it

Got to be great for business for Deel knowing CEO is unfindable by the court As a reminder Deel handles payroll and HR - which makes it a high-risk business vendor which requires high trust. Cannot imagine new customers signing that hear about this lawsuit and court troubles… tcrn.ch/42JQ4kH
