Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2022! How did you do? #Duolingo365

I've been playing with @statamic lately and enjoyed the journey so far. A lot more than I enjoyed building sites with Hugo or Jekyll. Git-based cms is great, but hacking away at markdown and pushing files around get's tedious quickly. Let's see how this goes. #cms #dev #jamstack

and done. What next? 🙂

After about a year with my #Ryzen 7 5800X I am still somewhat disappointed. Latency-mon reports long latency and I get audio dropouts in Spotify, even when nothing else is running. Thought it was related to hibernate, but does not seem the case.

I spent a few evenings finishing a small app using @MongoDB, #flask, @GraphQL/#graphene for my backend, #React, #Redux, #Apollo and #primefaces for my frontend, and #docker and #Jenkins for my deployment automation. Need to give the next project where I can do that again 🙂

Honestly thinking re-installing my favorite #IRC client and checking out #euIRC again. Hashtags before hashtags were a thing. Who's with me? 😉 #nerd #gamedev.ger

Yay. Went from 1.8GB #Docker Image for my #react app to 20MB, still supporting environment variables when running the container. envsubst ftw. Finally something to write a small guide on again. #webdev

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Note to self: #minikube on #wsl2 is tricky. Use kubectl port-forward to get access to endpoints, like this
'kubectl port-forward services/web-service 31890:80', then access 'localhost:31890'.

Cannot wait for more Matter devices to hit the market.
Specifically since @home_assistant supports it as well. This will be good!

Did I mention that I love #python? My latest thing I needed and did not have to write myself because it simply exists: functools.lru_cache #awesome #code #lovetocode

[Oliver van Porten @mcdeck]

I just had a moment to fiddle with my pet project again, using #mongodb, #python, #GraphQL and #React. And I should do more of that. Really fun. #lovetocode #code

A little something we've been working on for the past 2 years in complete secrecy.

Somebody really needs to bring back FictFact or something similar. I missed that Fforde had continued his Last Dragonslayer series already in 2021! Can't wait to read the final book! #books #Fiction #Reading

Ich brauche ein neues #Audiointerface als Ersatz für mein UR22mkii. Und bitte kein Steinberg mehr. Rodecaster pro find ich gut, aber teuer. Motu track 16 ist auch interessant. Sonst noch Alternativen? #music #asio #xlr #usb

[Oliver van Porten @mcdeck]

@atla_ if mine work I expect yours to work, too. But yes, it IS weird. That is the stuff internet memes are made of.

My precious... I am curious to see - or taste, rather - how this turned out. Tasting today. #beer #beerlover #craftbeer #homebrew #brewing #dubbel https://t.co/H8wgWoU0ZP
