Probably the strongest sign of "graduating" from being a young and playful hacker to a middle-aged software engineer: Switching from a dark IDE theme to Solarized Light ... and I love it 😇

It's so much easier on the eyes. How did I not appreciate this for so many years 😅

I’m not sold on the “Dynamic Island” name but apart from that “OMG, Apple, I love the playfulness of the non-notch notch GUI integration ❤️” Beautiful and inspiring. #AppleEvent

A huge amount of mental energy goes into ppl trying to justify/rationalize/inject waterfall thinking into Agile. Estimates, up-front architecture & other rigid plans, tactical roadmaps—all waterfall artifacts that hinder, not help. That energy would be better spent working.

@polotek I love my @peakdesignltd Travel Backpack 30l. There is also a 45l option. It accompanied me on travels > 100,000 air miles this year. https://t.co/NCBpUY9LlA

I used to look up to @ID_AA_Carmack when I was a teenager in the early to mid nineties and soaked up any and every coding wisdom of his that I could come across. Loved this @lexfridman podcast episode with him. John’s stance on debugger use is _spot on_ ❤️🤘

You can watch the @blueorigin space launch live, now ➡️ https://t.co/7rdCa3MOJr Seeing the Crew seated inside of the spacecraft now … I didn’t expect the windows on the capsule to be so large 😳👌

[Mustafa K. Isik @isik_mk]

Den @blueorigin Launch kann man jetzt live schauen https://t.co/3owxamDy9k T - 0:19:40 🚀 Auch sehr cool, dass Jeff Bezos u.a. seinen Bruder mitnimmt. Würde ich auch machen, wenn die Mutti das nicht sicher verbieten würde 😅

„Ask Iwata“ is a beautiful collection of stories about and insights from coder turned game studio president (HAL Laboratory) turned CEO (@Nintendo), the delightful late Satoru Iwata 🤓♥️

Kudos, @Apple 👌 Craig Federighi’s Universal Control demo just caused everyone in the room to “oooh, aaaaah” 🤣 … UX on steroids. #WWDC21

… until the location of the group gets sorted out and a Tier 1 or 2 SF group comes knocking at their door, that is.

This is exciting, daring, sweet and a little scary at the same time: @JeffBezos announcing to make a trip into space with his brother on @blueorigin's New Shepard on July 20th 🚀 https://t.co/grVNe9487N https://t.co/uqZHHdmCrU

I guess we’ve reached peak microchip / semiconductor production capacity shortage when people are sharing videos of @SnoopDogg getting mad about failing to secure a RTX 3080 Ti 😅😳🤣 I know how it feels 😇 Apart from gaming: Thank God for the cloud 🙏😉

Also: Repairability / Maintainability 👌 #RightToRepair 🤘

Despite having spent the last hour (felt more like 3+) fighting with getting VS Code to properly launch babel-node for debugging, I ❤️ both tools 😅 #weekendgeekery

The moment you realize that your Echo device doubles as an excellent Bluetooth speaker 🔊 for your 🖥 / 💻 … 🙏😅

I love how *artisan keycaps* are a thing, now 😊

Meet my new tranquil Koi pond scene in OEM keycap form factor 😇

@Markus306 There's nothing wrong with staying out of the rabbit hole for as long as you can ... until you finally succumb to its pull, that is 🤣

[Mustafa K. Isik @codesurgeon]

I’ve owned and appreciated a good share of all mechanical keyboards that were released in the last 25 years or so. But, until recently, I had missed out on the semi-novel custom keyboard scene 😳 This is my GMMK with the latest Tai-Hao keycap set 🥰 #miamivicevibes #gtavicecity
