Started writing a markdown parser - because why not? 🤷‍♂️

Reviving the Jasper protocol for Apollo 🚀 😎

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

There are parts of Bacnet that do not suck - modeled Jasper broadcast discovery after `who-is` and `i-am` - but with improved semantics and more meta-data

Trying to figure out how to use Twitter without Tweetbot - lists work (in official app) but no position is saved (ignore the awful UX to navigate for the moment) - so what’s the point?

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Added {{#helper pod::Type.method var}} support for Fanbars

I have gh installed only for this and its great:

$ gh repo view --web

Just assumed all series are 10 episodes nowadays and completely missed the final two episodes of Andor S1 🤦‍♂️

(and ignoring how awful Disney+ app is for tracking shows…)

Ah Christmas Day - otherwise known as “Waiting for update…”

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Finally upgraded my Wifi off my old AirPort Extreme to an eero and can easily see everything on my network

Good god I don’t know what 90% this crap is - it’s like SkyNet over here 😂

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Major yak shaving today 😂

Inadvertent benefit from new architecture in Apollo 🚀:

~20x decrease in daily network data usage 😎

MBA batter not lasting as long all of sudden… must be time to upgrade to M2 MBA…

So I can’t use the ⚽️ emoji in a Twitter list name - but other sports work just fine 🤔🤷‍♂️

Adding Postgres support to Carbonite 🐘👌

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Ending up going in a very different direction with Carbonite - but really digging it - I think going to be a great addition to the #fantomlang ecosystem.

Also first class support for sqlite - and all the unit testers rejoiced. 😂

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Is it perfect? Nope. (And no UI framework ever will be; that’s the game in UX)

But it’s honest about what it is and isn’t - and makes the stuff I need to do every day nearly effortless. No magic that just gets in the way.

Tho to be fair Helix 🧬 plays into this as well a bit.

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Spent a ton of time on Matisse 👨‍🎨 last Jan - and now just getting to reap the benefits as I’m getting into advanced tooling for Apollo 🚀

In 25 years of UI development, this is by far the best architecture, design, and API I’ve used.

I am winning so much stuff from Costco and Dick’s right now!

Couldn’t run my sprinklers this afternoon because of a cloud outage 😂

[Andy Frank @afrankvt]

Hey @linear how do I turn off the auto-cancel feature for issues?
