Very happy for my friends in Czech Republic for clearly voting their country towards Europe and Ukraine 🙏🇨🇿

Writing to humans about technical stuff is the hardest part of the job. I often skip the whole thing as it's takes lots of time and from the work needing to get done. But then many don't see the vast amount of work being done each and every week 🤯

Trying to get better this year

It's been a while! Here's an update of the Slipmat v3 development in 2023:

@webology oh, nice! Great to know 👍

I use GH actions a lot, although I’m still much more familiar w/ GL CI (they’re been around and stable for *years*). I was just planning to 1) try to set up a full DIY poor mans CI/CD using just ssh and 2) test out danger-js by posting repo details (size of the build, LOCs etc) as PR comments and archiving/saving them for plotting graphs. Both of which would need some git magic in the actions 🎉

@webology never used the gh cli, tho, should maybe try it out!

@webology I mostly use vscode/terminal and GitHub UI for my personal projects nowadays but now I’m re-learning some basics with a new team that works on GitLab and different branching/merging strategies etc.

Even some super basic things like keeping a branch up to date feel so archaic via terminal as you don’t just have the automatic rebase PR button 😂 (Hats off to GH team for hiding so much ugliness pf Git behind a nice UI even humans know how to use!)

@webology indeed 😀

I’ve never learned git very deeply, I doubt I ever will. It’s a pretty hostile tool and I’m old and grumpy enough to understand that mastering it probably isn’t worth my time as I get by just well with the basics and a cheat sheet (plus occasional help from colleagues when needed) 🤷🏼‍♂️

TFW a colleague recommends you lazygit and you realize you don't even know half of the operations it's supposed to make easier to do 😅

Is there any popular Python package that does *not* use Black?

Hard to come up with good reasons to not to.

Reading the orange site side projects thread, I realized that all my project ideas are large and complex.

If I was a billionaire, I would just build all my ideas at least to a MVP stage and pretty soon not be a billionaire anymore 😂

Still, better than buying 1 site for a toy!

’Ukraine: The Latest’ podcast has taught me so much about war, history, geopolitics, and Ukranian culture. I’m grateful to all of the skilled journalists (especially @DomNicholls@twitter.com and @FrancisDearnley@twitter.com) who keep on producing deep and insightful content day after day. Thank You! 🙏

For the record, even many native Finns, myself included, would rather eat dog shit than this. (And the rest of the population calls it ”delicacy”)

Try explaining to a non-Finn that this is a delicious lunch.

Cool thread of fun expressions in the language where we have a word for ”drinking alone in your underwear” (kalsarikännit)!

RT @jvarala@twitter.com

Finnish expressions:

- mukkelis makkelis (tripped, fallen down)

- kiikun kaakun (maybe or maybe not)
- nipin napin (narrowly)

Happy to see auth at least mentioned. Many frontend projects —including Nuxt— feel like they only focus on marketing, and no one has actually tried to use the product in a real world project.

Try building a site w/ auth, comments, proper RSS feeds etc. before hyping the tool 😅

GDPR made the internet significantly worse. We can admit this now, right?

I'm having hard time grasping how happy I feel working full-time w/ Django again ❤️

If you consider things like "people fighting on Twitter", "the service was so slow" or "my electricity/gas is expensive" as real problems, please readjust your point of view.

Your colleagues and fellow human beings in Ukraine, Europe are still being murdered. Every. Day.

Apparently it’s my #MyTwitterAnniversary

I *still* think Jaiku was way better (the tooting site doesn’t even come close). Interesting to see if this site exist next year for my sweet 16th 😅

I do love all my friends and colleagues here, tho. Lovely banter and convos 🙏

All software has bugs. The most frustrating part of learning new tools is learning to work around the bugs.

Seeing a startup Web page and/or blog with tiny font size convinces me way more than any kick-ass marketing copy or super slick design;

it means that the company is run by nerds in their 20s who truly believe that anything is possible and they want to prove themselves 💪

And now, my friends, I know what my next career path looks like.

Panda preservation facilities actually employ people to cuddle and play with pandas for hours on end.
