If you're following me because you think I am @JamesPearceLFC you are going to be very disappointed.

@CatChen Easier than trying to find the online copy. And pretty easy to do - it's a harsh filter!

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Useful filter while reading the (many!) candidate statements for the California governor primary:

"is this person even close to being qualified to run the world's fourth largest economy?"

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@FeltSteam @JustinBleuel @ChatGPTapp Thank you for the clue about images. That seems to make a big difference to the current pathological slowness.

@emojibakemono It was 1:20 when I posted! Which itself of course changed the ratio 🤦‍♂️

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Crazy the relative interest this got on tech bsky vs here.

[TinyBase @tinybasejs]

Responsive SVG charts. Fully styled with CSS. With reactive data binding. To a sync engine.

Now that would be awesome. 🤫

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@pmarca You’re only now getting upset about correlation that everyone else figured out is causation?

[TinyBase @tinybasejs]

Build a @solid_js local-first todo app in under 30 seconds. 👀

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Rate my integration logo wall.

[TinyBase @tinybasejs]

🎉 TinyBase v8.3 - the one with @solid_js!

Primitives and components to work with Solid - just like you can with React & Svelte!

Major props to Daniel Grant (@djgrant_) for the hard work to get this going!

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

👀 Local-first data analytics with TinyBase, anyone?

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Schrödinger's API

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Always thought of myself as a software guy, but in the last three months, I've rebuilt a washing machine, a microwave, and a reverse-osmosis watermaker - each from first principles.

Boat life 🤦‍♂️

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

My kingdom for a linting ecosystem where all the extensions make their major version upgrades in the same... year, even.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Everyone's in this picture.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@NASAWatch @NASA @NASAAdmin “Leave politics for the politicians” somewhat overlooks the premise of democracy.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Who's it going to be?

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Just one of the logical flaws with this holy war rhetoric is that, according to the bible, there’s no such thing as the Stone Age.

[Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth]

Back to the Stone Age.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

You would think the big man on here would be big enough to congratulate NASA.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@Jason It's possible he's optimizing for something other than approval ratings.

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@_chenglou Would be very happy if my successes looked like your so-called failures!

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

@djgrant_ Whoah - I’d love to take a look!

[James Pearce @jamespearce]

Programming isn't as fun any more.
