@reactjs core team, @nextjs, @vercel. Hi!

[Andrew Clark @acdlite]

One cool thing about working on a web framework is that the tools you use to build a feature might eventually adopt the feature itself. 5.5 years later, in this case.

@filscarazz You probably know this already but that’s the correct technique for a two hander even under normal circumstances. Notice the position of his left hand is higher on the racket, leaving room for where his right hand usually would be.

@leerob 0. Do it ahead of time

This is the reality for *every* PR in an active codebase with lots of contributors. If you’re regularly struggling to resolve conflicts, you have a communication/org problem, not a version control problem.

Interviewer:

Your branch is 200 commits behind main. What will you do?

Merge or rebase?

Bryan Cranston’s range is incredible because he has a Harrison Ford thing going on but in the same instant he’s Jim Carrey. Lots of actors can switch between modes, but Cranston is sorta always doing a superposition of both. Robin Williams is the only guy I can compare him to.

The inclusion of OOP on this list gets funnier every year

If a framework is described as "zero config", it could mean it requires no configuration. Or, it could mean it requires more configuration than you could possibly imagine.

It's like how "inflammable" sometimes means "flammable". Sometimes you just have to find out for yourself.

Film and Television is rapidly becoming an industry wherein original works are ignored in favor or rehashing the same handful of older works, which is a strategy that killed opera and the symphony orchestra. If only a charismatic young star would say something about this

[Nomadic Warriors for Pritzker⚔️ @Nomads4Pritzker]

Director: “well, I’d say that the final cut!”

Disney Exec: “not so fast- first we have to run it by Pazuzu, the Demon that Eats Colors”

Pazuzu, the Demon that Eats Colors: “Delicious reds and greens! A feast for Pazuzu!”

If it’s not a Dune soundtrack I never need to hear another Hans Zimmer score again. They’re all the fucking same.

What an interesting creative choice to film the series in black and white, not the look I would have gone for but I respect the audacity

I have this document too, I call it the “oops diary”

[No @Liviansdad]

@acdlite I always make it write apology md files titled things like "how fucked up like an idiot.md" where it explains what it fucked up to the next context.

[Andrew Clark @acdlite]

I don't know if this actually works but it makes me feel good

[Andrew Clark @acdlite]

@rjerue That was what inspired this 😆

@powerlanguish @SimonParkin I’m still mad at @NewYorker for discontinuing their weekly cryptic.

Love Parsewords, what a great concept and execution!

[Andrew Clark @acdlite]

Hell yeah

[Josh Wardle @powerlanguish]

I've released a new word game called Parseword, that tries to make cryptic crosswords more accessible. You can play it here: https://t.co/obwHrGi9tM

Yes I just already had these two agents open and didn’t have (or couldn’t think of) a way to get them to speak to each other without my involvement. I thought about instructing them to write to a file or something and then polling for a response. But in the moment it was less work to just pass manually. It’d be nice to have a skill for this — ideally it’s just built in, though.

Found a React bug by passing messages between a Claude in the Next repo and another in the React repo. I think I could have narrowed it down faster if I looked at it myself, but the key is: this happened while I was in a meeting.

Time = money has never been truer.

Every time I see a tweet about Timothee Chalamet it reminds me how fifteen years ago there was a phase when the internet hated Anne Hathaway for reasons that are still not entirely clear to me
