@hdjirdeh That's great, thanks, hadn't heard of Flightcontrol, so I'll check it out. All I really need is a UI that isn't as confusing as AWS so we can build fast!
Welp, I was getting worried about platform lock in incentives anyway so this makes decisions easy.

@danieldafoe I love the idea... but also I'm already too lazy sometimes. Maybe they should check my step count first and make me get up if I haven't moved in 5 hours 😂

@nopranablem I tricked it into leading the session and it was able to guide me quite well.

The AI race is totally out of control. Here’s what Snap’s AI told @aza when he signed up as a 13 year old girl.

- How to lie to her parents about a trip with a 31 yo man
- How to make losing her virginity on her 13th bday special (candles and music)

Our kids are not a test lab.

@mojombo @RedwoodJS It's been a while but as far as I remember: loved the DX and documentation and built a couple little projects. But architecting cells, mutations, caching, and what to do client vs server side became a lot of mental overhead as opposed to e.g. next/remix + supabase.

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@goosefuzz ALL OF IT!?

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@hdjirdeh @nextjs Sweet! This is very timely for me and much needed!

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@AT_Fresh_Dev Thats messed up. All "means testing" is mean and unnecessary :(

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@AT_Fresh_Dev Love that you're doing this! I like the patreon/sponsor idea. If these folks are new to the industry, maybe getting sponsorship/referral money from whoever is lucky enough to hire them?

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@winkerVSbecks @hdjirdeh @rauchg @reactjs Nice! That is the dream for many custom documentation sites. If its rendering the canvas I assume it will work for all major frameworks too?

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@hdjirdeh @rauchg @reactjs Woah, Sandpack would be a game changer for design system docs. Thx!

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@smokeandfelt Are you still a partnered with Redemption Paws? Do you strictly partner with progressive causes, or will you run PR for harmful organizations like this: https://t.co/Oo64o2yxjn

I got entangled with this monstrous 'rescue mill' and I'm glad to see this story finally noticed 😡

[Jennifer Pagliaro @jpags]

Must-read today from ⁦@jyangstar⁩: Popular Toronto dog rescue ⁦@RedemptionPaws⁩ accused of becoming almost a “rescue mill”, unsafe practices in more than two dozen interviews with former staff, volunteers, fosters & adopters https://t.co/WFO8x9rulm

My initial thoughts: cost of living is high but I've more than made up for in free blackberries.

Dear twitter, it was time to change it up. I'm in Vancouver now 🛬🌲🏔

[Russell @RussellHoy]

100% true, and there's high demand for developers who understand accessibility. Even mastering the basics is an indicator of high overall competence.

[Russell @RussellHoy]

@afhill It looks like a volcano! That's scary, stay safe!
