Today I learned: Arm Holdings - the makers of the ARM #CPU architecture - is based in the UK 😮 And now they're even starting to make their own CPU designs, namely the Arm AGI CPU. It excites me to see this stuff, from a #European #techsovereignty perspective!

I'm happy to announce that RecordRanks Platform – my site for competition management and #sports rankings – is now live and ready to power up your sports community! It's already being used by thousands of competitors at Cubing Contests and Google's #Speedcubing Club. Please share! recordranks.com

Launching an independent commission in the first 100 days of his premiership to look at how to make Parliament properly reflect the way the country votes would be a crucial first step towards realising his vision.

Finally getting close to launch for #RecordRanks, my competition management and #sports rankings platform. Just added #Stripe billing, which was a pretty good experience. Gonna update the home page and tweak the sign up process, and then it's ready for launch! 🥳 recordranks.com?utm_source=b...

If your council knows where you live to post you a council tax bill, why do you have to go back to them to register to vote? buff.ly/JDgdxwc

Omg, #Mistral released Mistral Medium 3.5 yesterday, and it's so good! Already fully switched to it as my main model. Some benchmarks apparently suggest it's comparable to Sonnet 4.5. Let's support #European tech! 🇫🇷🇪🇺 mistral.ai/news/vibe-re... #AI #MistralAI #coding #software #technology

I recently joined Ramen Club - a community for #startup founders, and it's been super helpful! I feel a lot more confident in what I'm doing with RecordRanks now, and it's helped me stay on the right track. Really recommend it for aspiring entrepreneurs! ramenclub.so #business #SaaS #coding #tech

Got my first two customers for my #sports organization and ranking software RecordRanks 🥳 Both are growing sports communities that were looking for a tool that could streamline the organization process. Exciting times! recordranks.com #sport #software #startup

Added @plausible.io #analytics 🇪🇪 to recordranks.com. Always exciting to use #European #tech for my projects! Plus, Plausible is better for #privacy 😎 #coding #webdev

Made a video about my year-long experience of rewriting the entire backend of RecordRanks and the lessons I learned from it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsu6... #coding #programming #webdev #NextJS #React

Added Google SSO to RecordRanks, and I realized I'm way behind on some compliance stuff, lol. Gonna finally add a #privacy policy and a cookie banner. Also, it's somewhat amusing just how restrictive #Google is with their logo 😬 #coding #webdev #programming

Somehow I just implemented an #OAuth login method for the first time in my 5 years as a web dev. I'd only ever done email + password auth before (with all the expected security measures). I guess better late than never. Having a great experience with Better Auth! #webdev #coding #React #JavaScript

Made a YouTube video explaining why I switched from #MongoDB to #Postgres. I've heard plenty of criticism of it, but not much to do with actually using it. I get into that topic in this video. #databases #Mongo #PostgreSQL #coding #programming #webdev www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVB...

I'm no longer using #AI in my IDE, due to #security concerns. While it would be nice to get a bit more of the productivity benefits, I just don't think those security risks are worth it. I now only use Le Chat - the chatbot from #Mistral - as a #coding buddy. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

I have now moved my biggest open source project (my website for sports rankings) from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de 🇩🇪. I encourage other Europeans to also promote the adoption of European tech 🙂 codeberg.org/mintydev/Rec... #coding #programming #webdev #git #Codeberg

Implemented #Supabase Cron with my website for daily backups. Aaand yet again it was super tricky, as it typically goes with #selfhosting Supabase, haha. Worth it in the end though. I also reported a bug, so hopefully that'll be fixed and the next person won't have such a hard time. #webdev #coding

German houses be like... (no AI btw) #Germany #German #house #meme

I am in a deep state of flow now. Gonna finish my year-long website update this month for sure! #webdev #coding #programming

If we're allowing anti-EU parties in the #EuropeanParliament, maybe when the aliens come down to Earth, we should also give them a permanent seat in the UN Security Council 👍 #EuropeanUnion #Europe #EU #UnitedNations

Alright, fine, I'll just learn #Playwright. Will probably significantly reduce my headaches from testing frontend code. #testing #react #javascript #coding #webdev #programming

I think every testing library should come with a 12 gauge shotgun, just in case you need to blow your brains out real quick. #javascript #webdev #coding #programming #react

everyone who uses an llm to code more than me is voluntarily deskilling themselves, everyone who uses it less than me might as well be hand-wiring together vacuum tubes

I've been getting more and more bored of YouTube lately, increasingly leaning more towards reading. Maybe I'm starting to get old, haha. Next thing you know, I'll be playing golf every weekend and become completely incapable of opening my email. #youtube #reading #books

I'm nearing the release of my big website update (cubingcontests.com), but a part of me is dreading it, because I KNOW after an update this big, bugs are bound to be found. I did cover it with more tests, but that's not the same as real world use. Fingers crossed 🤞 #webdev #programming #coding

I think I'll do #freelance #webdev as my next job. It's a competitive market out there rn, but I'm confident I can find ways to stand out, build a solid brand and a list of clients. I'd just love to do my own thing rather than keep chugging away doing office work. #coding #programming #jobmarket
