@WriteAheadLog Thank you for reaching out here. We're experiencing some performance issues affecting logins right now, but our team is on it! Card authorizations and all other actions are unaffected. Updates to follow — sorry for the disruption!

[Adam Fletcher @WriteAheadLog]

@mercury are you down? Also, your console logs leak a lot of information about your local & staging environments, happy to DM with details but you can also just check your console logs.

Ever want to hear the music of your commit history? Now you can! My latest musical weekend project is Rebass - music from your git history.

It's not quite there yet, IMHO. I'd love suggestions on how to make the _music_ better.

@TomsofMaine I switched to another brand.

I don't really like to complain on twitter, but @TomsofMaine the change to your peppermint toothpaste flavor is awful. Time for a Peppermint Classic.

I need a "/unsafe-yes" option in @claudeai code so it doesn't ask when there's quote characters in a bash script.

Mike is amazing; you may think "oh that sounds too earnest" - I did when I met Mike - and I was so wrong and have loved knowing Mike and being part of anything he creates.

I'm writing a cookbook for connection and launching the first recipes → https://t.co/iW2nFzoi6q

For 15+ years I've been the friend people texted at 11 pm before a big life thing.

"I'm walking into my first board meeting tomorrow, how do we build trust in the first 10 minutes?"
"I'm designing my 35th, help me make it more than a bar night."
"I'm going on a trip with my parents, how do we actually connect?"
"We're designing our intercultural wedding, how do we make it magical and not formulaic?"

🍽️ They each wanted a "recipe" for how to design an experience. I'm sharing some of the meaningful ones that helped them (ingredients, steps, and a little science explaining why it works).

👨‍👩‍👧 What I learned is that people wanted to connect with the most important people in their lives, but were stuck. Holidays with parents, date night with their partner, a cousin's trip, a team offsite, a birthday, a baby shower. We default to the same script and wonder why the night felt okay but not great. It's usually not a lack of love in the room. It is a lack of inspiration about how.

🍚 In the same way you pull up a food recipe when you want to cook something great for someone, I believe we need inspiration from recipes for the experiences we host. Magical recipes to teach people how to host, facilitate, and create the "vibes".

I will share a new recipe every Monday (https://t.co/iW2nFzoi6q).

Comment 👇: What recipes would you want to read? Who do you want to deepen connection with in your life?

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport.

“Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics.

Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight

I've always been curious about the ontologies used by medicine, and the WHO has a system called ICD that makes an attempt at classifying diseases and symptoms. My latest project lets you visually explore ICD-10 and 11: https://t.co/rf1rwq77A2

Continuing my weekend metaproject of building projects I've always wanted to build, here's a NYTs-style crossword creator:

* custom or AI generated clues
* storing clues & words
* load/save/import/export

@zillowgonewild Does it come with a Unabomber or do I have to rent one?

I've been watching the restoration of the American Chestnut for a while now, and was a bit lost on the state of the various efforts to save this tree. So I built a dashboard: https://t.co/BftisIieAi

Have you ever wanted to listen to the music of your chess game? Now you can! https://t.co/pCAyJZBA6a - you can paste in a PGN from @chesscom and hear your game. (Yes, this is what I do to avoid studying endgames). #chess

If you're like me and have github repos from the inception of github, a fun thing to do is ask claude & copilot to modernize all your repos. (@jeresig i used the heck out of jquery, thank you so much!)

@dok2001 I can't get it to create the resources in the dashboard ("contact support"), and there's no easy way to install the plugin in my existing wordpress, and export in wordpress only seems to export XML not WXR. But once that's all fixed I will migrate.

XCode's LLM integration is not good: "No, I do not actually build or run your code directly. My role is to analyze your codebase, suggest and make edits, and help debug problems based on the code and errors you report."

Do you ever read DMARC reports as a means of procrastination? Me either.

All my presentations these days are made with Claude and HTML & JS, often with mermaid diagrams. I give it a doc of what I want to say and it makes slides. I also have it make presenter notes, and my presenter window has a timer with start/stop buttons.
