I customized my @get_bb_app sidebar to show my daily work in progress as buildings in construction, trucks and constellations, so that I can get some sense of "what's being done" and "what today looks like". I think it's kinda cool to NOT put the emphasis on numbers.

@pchapuis Totalement, on n’y pige plus rien et ça alimente la défiance.

In 2001, 2Advanced was my favorite site on the internet.

In 2026 it's really annoying, but huge props to these guys for leaving a post-Flash version around as a cultural artifact.

@Virtualgoodz Je mise là-dessus pour enfin pouvoir voir le second volet au cinéma 🙏

It’s heavily customizable!

@coolcompute @codeshaunted I deal with this example on a daily basis so I can vouch it exists 😭 Some codebases have grown organically without much thought and show quite a lot of « this should not exist » properties.

@jeremysmithco Yes, when I learnt react it really helped me grasp the basics.

@y_nk Well, I also have issues with unabstracted code 😬

[Maxime Souillat 🦊 @beaucouplus]

I’ve been dealing with this kind of stuff pretty often at my current job. The indirection is sometimes so damn high for one or 2 callers 🥲

⚠️ Abstraction has a cost. A Rails case where dynamic dispatch made active code look unused and almost get removed. #Rails https://t.co/MZHc5Xmlzn

@Danmehmet_ Finally a citation worth reading 🙏

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charmcli's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby.

A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more!

Demos below ⬇️

@pinzonjulian I did everything I could to use something else when I was beginning because I found it difficult to use / grasp. I learnt about form objects back then and never went back.

Want this so badly 👌

Jump to any open terminal by title, working directory, or tab color. A little highlight animation shows the terminal you jumped to so you can find it more easily. Available very soon in nightly macOS builds.

@joisoftware I love the design of the app and I am investigating whether I should subscribe / get an annual licence.

I couldn’t find examples of the widgets and an explanation of the pro features. Is this available somewhere?

[Maxime Souillat 🦊 @beaucouplus]

Very thoughtful article about interfaces, modules by ⁦@juliknl⁩.

The questions to ask yourself should probably be printed somewhere. https://t.co/bnqmCAc73N

@steashaz Sujet de thèse au moins.
