My new book is #1 on Amazon (in Technical writing 😁)

It's the sum of a ten-year career and available in "all good bookstores."

Whilst you're there, buy one of my fiction books too!

Review and share. This really helps! 💯🙇‍♂️

For the first time in about 15 years, I have new music. And like buses and police officers, two at once!

There are now 7M developers using @supabase

Signups have been accelerating since the start of the year

Our growth rate right now is as fast as it was during YC, except that we are doing it from a base of millions of developers instead of thousands

@ChrisChinch made a video about TypeBoost!

Even if he's not fully sold, it’s a great review and gives an good idea of what’s possible.

But the real magic is that it's fully customizable, and you can build your own AI productivity toolkit 🤙

Agentic browsers… Are they the future of using the web, or a gimmick?

There's another contender to consider, and this time it's @opera Neon.

What does it add to the landscape, and how did I find using it? Well, you'll have to watch!

We have a great RSVP amount so far, but another quick reminder, we have a @supabase meetup here in Berlin next week featuring our lead of self-hosting and others speaking! And me serving you pizza :)

One of my favourite features in #macOS is focus modes, but they don't go far enough, so I wrote a little something on how to combine them with the @raycast focus feature to get a configurable, full-featured setup for focus.

Set up an open-source, distributed machine learning pipeline that runs compute in the same location as your data.

This post gets you started using Bacalhau to set up nodes in three different regions, send, process, and analyze data, all while respecting data sovereignty.

Oops, don't post here much anymore, but do I know anyone at #WAICF23 ? Feels odd to be at an event and not know a single person here so far 😅

[Chris Chinchilla @ChrisChinch]

In September I attended Europe's pre-eminent Ruby event @EuRoKu in wonderful Sarajevo and wondered, as it comes up to its 30th birthday, what's it's place in the programming landscape?

Somehow this was published in November and I missed it 😅
