Why are all mobile games bloated with ads or in app purchases? Even for kids. I would really rather pay a little up front and get a clean experience.

Been using @OpenAI Codex and @Zai_org together instead of @claudeai and besides A LOT cheaper, it actually works better too. Use Codex (because of the limit) for harder tasks, as it takes more time to "think" and Z for the bulk.. works great!

@ayshtwt What are you calculating?!

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

@Paul__light Thanks! Very necessary (unfortunately).

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

Building Tiko, a suite of simple apps to help kids with communication challenges.

Always free. No ads. Open source.

Every child deserves a voice.

@stemonteduro TextEdit.. Notes only when I need to keep it.

@Adityapandeydev I have a laptop and a phone, which respectively are a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.

@_devJNS pnpm and npm, npm for basic projects and fast things. pnpm for monorepo's.

But I never type it anyway, have shortcuts which automatically detect the package manager. → run `dev` → checks package manager (=npm) → runs `npm run dev` .

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

@AnxiousHolly I should.

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

@bruvimtired Nothing, doing it regularly.

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

@LeakerApple no.

@DanKulkov Buying domains is becoming a daily practice..

[Sil van Diepen @SilvanDiepen]

@ahudovich Interesting, but why would I use this, when Supabase (which I use), comes with auth?

@pizzaboy When you become a man you realize you don't drink this garbage. You drink beer, wine, water or coffee.

@tranmautritam Hee... birthday buddies! Congrats :)

@rajshrestha75 @zollotech That sounds like a Whatsapp Issue, not an iOS one. Might be with the iOS version, but it's up to Whatsapp to fix that.

@Rainmaker1973 garbage

@rixlabs @catalinmpit If they would be 3 hours crafting a prompt, you would probably get something useful. I think most giving oneliners and fighting with errors.

@marcelkargul Sponsored by adidas?

@catalinmpit Looking with envy at the salaries of American developers, but then realizing we live in Europe, which is worth the lower salaries.
