It could be that the HN crowd is getting older? You age, your finger tips dry out, virtual keyboards get wonky.

[removed] made the mistake of assuming the contents of the article before reading it. My comment does not apply.

I totally hear you on that, but for my one off apps (and even some of my not one off apps) if I can't implement a feature in a PWA, I just learn to live without that feature.

That’s what that was. I thought someone there screwed up an image path.

Yeah. That was it. I remembered it wrong (you use chatGPT which I admit, has better voice interaction). I use claude code and type it all. Most of the time for walks/runs I just le…

If you are using Claude code, disable recaps.

Somebody here posted about a Socratic method skill for Claude (or whatever your LLM of choice is). I’ve found this to be fantastic. Dropped in a dense PDF about Linear Algebra, Pos…

Evidently I read the room wrong. Sorry for linking to my little project. Good day to you all!

I've used JWTs for a number of server to server interactions and they are amazing for what they are. I've also told many a front end team member to NOT use them.

got any of them mastodon links?

I'm 5'7" thank you very much. That's above average in some regions.

My first programming job, I had a private office to myself. It was amazing. I close the door, I’m left alone. I leave it open, people stop and talk and I walk and talk to them if t…

I'm just joking. This is cool stuff you made.
