I'm in that headspace again. Storm all around me, and I'm trying to find the calm in the middle.

Convex.dev offers the best developer experience I’ve encountered in my ~25-year coding career. It gets so many things right. Only a week in, but it already feels incredibly promising. Can’t wait to see where this journey leads!

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Thanks to @convex.dev, @TanStack.com's metric counter now updates LIVE! Kinda wild to watch! Go check it out! 👉 TanStack.com

Recently read @sujayakar.bsky.social’s article on @convex.dev’s Object Sync I’m excited/intrigued by how Convex is approaching Local First. Build a reactive database then add a local first syncing solution (their object sync that’s coming out soon)

Music listening goes in seasons for me. I am deep in it lately. My recent discovery is Indian electronica/house. It's just this incredible amalgamation of sounds that are so familiar to me and sounds that I fell in love with in my teens.

Really enjoyed this chat with @brianmm.dev of @clerk.com on building developer products. Especially when we got real about working on novel platforms that generate vendor lock-in concerns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyaC...

Paywalls for news articles makes me want to read news less in general. Maybe the headline is enough. I already pay a lot for one major news publication, I don't want to pay for 10 of these just because I see an interesting article from them once every 2 months.

My secret sauce for launching quick and superior products is completely free @convex.dev (The backend that’s more reliable than my sleep schedule) @clerk.com (Making auth so easy, my rubber duck is unemployed) #stripe (Because ramen isn’t free, and neither are my apps)

PSA: Use `crypto.randomUUID()` and not the `uuid` package. It's supported in all modern browsers and in Node >19.

We're here: @convex.dev

apropos of nothing, a reminder that block party can help you delete old twitter posts en masse and also block annoying posters en masse (now that my for you feed is full of right wing gunk, there are lots of tweets that are pretty handy to plug into the block retweeters tool)

Just realized that I've now been professionally writing code for 20 years. Though I don't know what to make of this completely. Mostly I am excited.

So just got invited to a 20 year high school reunion. What... when... sigh...

Hello blue sky!
