🇵🇹 Absolutely thrilled to be at @jnationconf.bsky.social, and even more excited for this afternoon! I'll be diving deep into Astro in my workshop at 2PM today. Get ready to build some fast, content-focused websites with the tools you love! Who's joining? Come say hi! 👋

If your email starts with “I saw Elian Codes builds with Astro, React and Laravel, and that you lead tech teams at Vulpo and React Bricks.” I ain’t reading it…

Motion Design with Claude Opus 5.5 is getting really good. Gave it some release notes from a release I drafted today and it came up with this

Am I the only one who only uses phone cases during the week and never in the weekends 🥴

Visited the War Remnants Museum here in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam yesterday. Amazing experience and highly recommend for everyone who's into history.

Is it weird that I'm still the most reachable over email in 2026. Sorry to all who've I ever ignored. It's not you, it's me

I’m thinking of writing a talk about building & self-hosting your tools ect in 2026. Should I?

Damnit, I need to give a talk in a couple hours here in Vilnius, Lithouania, but I forgot to update Keynote. DAMN YOU HOTEL WIFI

I’ve always loved self-hosting. Been running my own media library for years, but the UI always felt stuck in 2014. So I built my own. Meet Aurora ✨ Powered by TanStack Start + Jellyfin API

The real senior developer skill: reading code you wrote 6 months ago and understanding none of it.

Dear Meetup, if you show rich text in the editor, I expect rich text in the preview. Otherwise don’t call it a rich text editor. Call it ✨surprise mode✨

Damnit Opus 4.6, I've been AI-assisted coding for 50mins and hit the limit. Time to upgrade I guess
