Very happy to announce that @chatto.run, the amazing little team chat app you can self-host from your own infrastructure (and quite easily so), is now available & Open Source. ✨

I've been struggling with managing an ever increasing amount of balls in the air and GitHub's UI hasn't been very helpful. So, after spending a week with Paseo, I decided to scratch my own itch and build a "did, doing, waiting, next" board for myself as a Paseo plugin.

I think if you use AI psychosis to disparage people you should log off for a long time and give some serious thought to the kind of person you're becoming and if that's really the kind of person you want to be.

I have a successor to Beans cooking. It's awesome, and you will hate it, but you will also love it.

Forget pelicans on bikes. @chatto.run has dragons on castles

Oh nooo what did I doooooo

We're bringing multiplayer door games back baby

I've been wiring some Chatto and Chatto-related things together over the last couple of days, some of which had been stewing for literally months, and my mind is melting with the possibilities. This is going to be fun

Hi from Chatto Desktop

30 years of professional software development brought me to this point

internet 2027: you can see everything

If you want to make a man your enemy, give him something for free

I've built my own release/changelog tooling. Argh

I leaked it early sorry

Local-First Conf is back! Mark your calendar for May 25–26, 2027 in Berlin. Join the waitlist and get notified when CFP & tickets go live: www.localfirstconf.com

I have something tangentially Beans-related in the works, stay tuned

Talked quite a bit (in German) about @chatto.run, NATS, agentic engineering, hot chocolate, pretending to be a DJ, the relaxing properties of death metal, crying on trains and probably some other bits and bobs in this brief little four and a half hour podcast.

It's not that there's no moats anymore, it's that suddenly there's bridges *everywhere.*

Judging by Astra's gaffes today, I think it's safe to say OpenAI are releasing a new model tomorrow

I can barely see Bluesky through all the gates today

Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.

If you’re using rustls, upgrade to rustls-webpki 0.103.16 and/or webpki-roots or webpki-root-certs 1.0.10.

Update everything that verifies certificates against public roots.

I wish I didn't need to wonder if the many many *many* recent regressions of Android 17 on my Pixel 7a are Google's way of telling me that it's time to get off my otherwise perfectly fine 2023 phone

Oh no I'm linuxing

"People should not be able to vibe code stuff without learning the craft first" comes from the same place as "student loans should not be forgiven". Congratulations, you've become the very thing you hate

Perfect uptime over the past 90 days, and that's with dozens of version upgrades rolled out while users were chatting. Chatto and Chatto Cloud are pretty good :D

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

I can see attie fun for small social experiments like this. :D Feel free to share a small jam whirling-vivid-zephyr.attie.site

Keen Games freaking cooked with this. Enshrouded is excellent!

I'm enjoying AI and find it useful, but the one thing that bugs me is that every! single! conversation! in my life is now about AI. Business calls? AI. Meeting friends? AI. Waking up in the middle of the night in a city I don't recognize, lying in a pool of my own vomit next to a dead goat? AI

My recent experiments of combining Vega Lite with DuckDB is that BI software suites are dead men walking. All of them. I was able to replicate a Power BI app closely by showing Claude the PDF (!) of the dashboards and then made it implement the more sensible filtering of Qlick.

Why is Conductor the only app in this space that understands that sometimes you want to whip up multiple PRs sequentially from within the same agentic conversation :( All other apps fail at this currently

That joyful brief moment where a character is still so new the genAI image generators don't immediately patch you through to Disney's lawyers

Truly "I never saw any of the trains" level gymnastics here

I regret nothing
