I know there are still lots of big and challenging problems to solve, but Mastodon is still worth checking out. Find an instance for your local city! It clicked when I thought of them as localities rather than topics or identities. https://t.co/5I5NuivV6M

🙋‍♀️ Question: If you are running an app with Ember 3.x or lower, what's preventing you from upgrading?

I’m running a clinic @EmberConf 🐹 to help people get over the 4.0 hump. Reply with your story 👇, and share for more 👀 please!

@blankenship @deathriteramen Joshua. If you can, we should hang out.

It's been a wild month, so I haven't posted anything about this yet, but my wife and I are now the owners of a local sandwich and craft beer bottle shop! https://t.co/LvB942rOPJ

@blankenship "People who work with their minds rest with their hands" Doing things where my body does the thinking (think touch, feel, intuition, like gardening, woodworking, tinkering, cleaning, etc) frees my mind to wander, wonder, play, and rest...all necessary for creativity

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@MarcoSuarez Interesting! Which courses have you taken?

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@blankenship Ooooo! That black is gorgeous. I love rewarding projects like this.

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@timquirino @Threads Tim! This looks fantastic. The vision is impressive and I love the little details

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@boutell Ha! I used this app for that: https://t.co/fJj85ugjTe

@eaf4 @nullvoxpopuli @buschtoens @chriskrycho Thanks Ed!

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@nullvoxpopuli @eaf4 @buschtoens @chriskrycho Wait…so it’s possible to not have ember-cli blow up on type errors? Is this only in newer versions? Is it configurable?

Big Design Up Front was a mistake, but so is “jump right into the editor and start coding and then ship your prototype and spend the next 5 years fixing your tech debt. “

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@timquirino @gmunk Oh man. That brings back the memories. I used to check that site like every other week to see what new thing they were experimenting with. It definitely was one of the most influential sites in my early days as a web developer

@chriskrycho @obsdmd rewrite looks ambitious!

And considering my system a work-in-progress has freed me from feeling the need to make it perfect.

I currently have a strong process that relies on Periodic notes and some wierd hybrid of PARA/Zettle/custom organization structure

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@chriskrycho @obsdmd Would you mind sharing any details about your setup? What parts are the most useful for you?

[Matthew Siu @MatthewWSiu]

imagining what a color picker for words could look like

It's awesome to see long-time @emberjs supporter @auditboard increase their level of investment by sponsoring @wagenet, @puekey and @not_runspired to spend some work time on Ember development and maintenance.

I guess I’m a journaler now? Thanks @dayoneapp

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@blankenship That’s a best DALL-E image i’ve seen

[Matt McManus @mattmcmanus]

@blankenship Ugh. Yes. That show was so good.
