“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

People naming their AI bots after scifi AI that goes rogue and kills people is ... a choice

@github.com CI error logs are awrful. They won't let me scroll up and keep auto-scrolling down as I try to scroll up. There's a11y, lack of a11y, and then anti-a11y. This is anti-a11y 😭

if you liked this you're legally obligated to submit something btw

Going through US insurance stuff and I will now forever associate OOP with "(max) out of pocket". I like my code like I like my insurance, a low (max) OOP

Always love hearing men talking publicly about things like fatherhood, chasing happiness, and more www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXNV...

if you ahve built something (either an app or a library!) with lustre i'd love if you could fill out one of the issue templates here: github.com/lustre-labs/... it'd be great to start building a collection to showcase ^.^

Favorite new phrase "attention engineering", for those engineers our there who don't actually build things but tweet a lot about the things they could build

I want to expand Acadia interop, but how should Algebraic Data Types be represented in TypeScript, Ruby, and Python? I wrote some options here: gist.github.com/evancz/8d1f2... What do you think?

make art anyway

The look of AI art and AI apps reminds me of buying jeans with holes or "worn" looking furniture. You want to look like you've put in hard work and effort, but it's all a facade. I'm not saying you can't use AI, but people can tell the difference between the facade and the real hard work.

trying to find contract work is proving to be a real slog 😔

cc @eslint.org @biomejs.dev @boshen.github.io. I don't know whether this is a problem you also want to take a look at. Or have solved! If so, I want to know how 😄

Sometimes I just need xkcd.com/1053/ as a reminder. I just wish I got to explain fun things and not that states have taxes that you have to pay

This rules! By the way, just wanted to say that Race The Sun is a game I frequently return to when looking for inspiration for personal projects. Thank you for making it!

Acadia is out today! Bringing the benefits of Elm to SQLite and PostgreSQL: - Friendly error messages - Custom types for precise column data - Simple module system for easy reuse Check it out! acadia.engineering/blog/rethink...

So much of the world feels like **those** infomercials

Today's fun: the Steam Revenue Report: weloveit.io/developers/s... This is a snapshot of estimated earnings for games on Steam (using the Boxleiter Method), alongside different ways to slice the data. How concentrated are sales/reviews? What does a typical game earn at a given percentile? Etc.!

Is "effect poisoning" a thing? Came to mind while reading a blog post about making a change in `func wibble()` and how that might unknowingly break `func wobble()`. I feel like that should have a name

GMTK Game Jam 2026 I just spent the last 4 days working on a game for a the GMTK Game Jam 2026 and wow was that fun! If you want to skip right to playing the link is here That's what I was writing a week and a half ago, and it's still true but the game jam is over, the voting is over, and I've…

Ya love to see it

Initial descriptions of www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Ki..., specifically "everything is a stream" is really reminding me of cycle.js.org

I wish the Tidewave debug element would copy the elm-watch debug element. The Tidewave one keeps getting in my way and takes far too much effort to move. The elm-watch element is so tiny and super easy to move. The elm-watch element also has more options for placement

Your yearly reminder that you can in fact run Elm on the server and use it for scripts by using elm-pages.com

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

Adventures with jj and Lamdera For some months now I've been using Jujutsu, aka jj, for doing version control. I'm not going to cover how to use it, or why I've loved using it, and oh boy have I really loved using it! What I'm talking about today is a weird bug I came across in a project using…

My new book obsession is City Government: The Record of the Milwaukee Experiment. Only 1/4 of the way in, but it's really fascinating to see how times don't change all that much even in 90 years

New Elm release today! 🎉 0.19.2 🥳 Incremental builds of 850k lines of Elm in <350ms. Gearing up for a batch of smaller releases as we head towards Elm 1.0. elm-lang.org/news/faster-...

#SGDQ2026 STARTS TOMORROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a couple years, but I'm finally feeling the itch to write again. I blame Elm Camp.

I envy people who can memorize 500k loc and work in dynamic and gradual type systems and just know every branching case. Me, I'm dumb, I need that static type system with exhaustive checks

I realize this is very unlikely since I never post about music stuff, but: if anyone in Washington State has a good condition Yamaha CP-300, and wants to trade it for a brand-new Yamaha P-525, I would love to talk to you :)
