I'm giving up three things tonight. I'll re-emerge on Mastodon someday.

If you're a software supplier for me and you're using AWS, you better have a damn good reason for doing so. Otherwise, nah.

i've officially stumbled upon the weirdest thing i've ever seen. on a spotify radio this week, 1 song annoyingly kept playing. except every time I looked, it was a different song name and artist entirely. so I started keeping track. here's 49 of them. open.spotify.com/playlist/3w…

Nice. I started on v0.4 and it's been an amazing ride to see how far we've come and you're much has been done. I'm so thankful for such an amazing project. #nodejs

It's the old tri-state boolean. #Database (And yes, sometimes I have that when it's for real, but in this case it's not.)

I knew it. This was the most underrated tweet on here yesterday.

Yes! You can define colors on the textColor or backgroundColor objects, that will only create utilities for text or bg! There are many more!

Brought to you by the same team who debated whether a Jaffa Cake is a cake or a biscuit. Though, to be fair, I'm a fan of zero GST on food in general.

Getting some comments about GST-free food in Australia and 10 seconds into reading through the details I am begging NZ to please not put itself into a position where it has to have a debate about whether a glaze is a sweet coating

Just spent most of the day figuring why I'm getting loads of errors in the console on my page. Turns out those errors are already in production. It wasn't my new feature. They were already there. To say I'm tired is an understatement.

It's starting to come together. :) The sites are done. Now the reader is functional. Mostly everything is bare bones but the structure (the bones) is there. Currently on a ten day commit streak. The one before that was 11 days. A little every day is working! #buildinpublic

Ok, despite all the crap that's been going on with Twitter, the "For You" tab is showing me crap and more crap. I know the other tab is there but it always seems to go back to the crap one. I think this is the end but there is no viable alternative elsewhere.

New Zealand's Cook Strait captured on my first mission to @Space_Station. Despite its small size, the island country has diverse landscapes ranging from mountains and fjords to beaches and rainforest, all of which can be seen easily from above with orbital #astrophotography.

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

I like how it tries. Sometimes it fails beautifully. #chatgpt
A prompt to ChatGPT to give me different sets of words for "start" and "end" that use the same number of letters, but it fails miserably on 3 out of 5, though the other two have the same, they aren't great. e.g. "initiate" and "conclude" is okay, but "launch" and "halt" is just bad.

I guess you could say that I don't like it when people set the rules, expect you to follow, but don't follow them themselves. Reminds me of Boris tbh.

I've noticed this especially with kids videos on YouTube such as ones about Minecraft. I fear they do it so there's no space for the kid to just get out of their head and switch it off. Definitely poor quality but these videos have millions of views!
