For the last 5 months, I've been solving problems in my life with tiny web apps that are created from my phone. Random idea pops into my head? Open my phone and make it happen right then

I recently read Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky and it made me think about the AI tools many of us are interacting with. Thoughts here https://t.co/OCQszgmkA4

@tynan Chicago is great

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

New test-refresh 0.26.0 now released. Stop running your Clojure tests by hand, let computers do it.

Now it supports
- Reloading but not running tests
- Clearing terminal between test runs
- Custom banners

Details in the PR that added the features: https://t.co/20Wvu8XNUJ

@deobald It sure is nice if the historic documentation still lives when there are breaking changes. But also good to avoid breaking changes :).

That is if you want high speed, you must build high quality systems. If you want high quality systems, you must build them quickly as a series of small changes.
This is what the data says, and when you stop and think about this, the reasons are pretty clear.

@tvwonder @ecormany There is always Tweetdeck, at least until Twitter remembers it exists and it too gets turned off. https://t.co/O3tg13uWuy

@tferriss Code Names is great.

Revolution is more complicated but I think the game could start pretty quickly.

No Thanks is a great beer & pretzel game (casual, not tricky, good way to cap a day of gaming off).

@parmowned I just made it available again on Gumroad with a disclaimer at the top. Amazon may be stopping support of dictionaries like this but I've been told it still works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good luck! It makes the reading experience much nicer so I hope it does.

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

I made a custom Kindle dictionary for the series Dune. It greatly increased my enjoyment. It is available at http://t.co/6cNjqj432j.

i trained an ai chatbot on my childhood journal entries - so that i could engage in real-time dialogue with my "inner child"

some reflections below:

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Weekend reminder that SimCity's creators couldn't accurately reflect the scale of urban parking lots because if they did the game fell apart.

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

I wrote a barely technical article on using bookmarklets in your mobile browser. Learning about this earlier this year has made using a phone browser much nicer. https://t.co/WjrHQyiRMA

@deobald @steveruizok Angle grinders are where it is at.

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

As someone that reads papers sometimes, this is exciting https://t.co/CGyXgUvtQm

[aberant @aberant]

whenever i have to debug a node.js app, my first thought is never, “i’m so glad they were able to write this quickly”

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

I've started to use https://t.co/N4wxmgojZY to track my reading. Less convenient than a kindle integration but at least I can export my data.

[Jake McCrary @jakemcc]

Goodreads is dropping the ability to export your data at the end of this month. Do it while you can.
