@nbbaier @theo @CascadiaJS!

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

on the train ride home after @theo's talk yesterday, I deployed my first shitty app on lakebed, at https://t.co/dIaJvmNdbd

it's a barcode generator but the barcodes aren't scannable!

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

i.e they're the encoded plaintext that gets output from the standard barcode algorithms, useful for pasting into text fields in other apps (like a spreadsheet or notes app). make it scannable by using an appropriate barcode font (like Libre Barcode 128, etc)

StumbleUpon you will never be forgotten

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010.

What’s the one website/app you still think about?

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

sometimes, a thing actually does Just Work™

As of today, the Apple TV 4K has officially gone the longest its ever been without an update.

1323 days, still no sign of an update.

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

the long-awaited lakebed video live from @theo at @CascadiaJS

great talk about how everything has changed, and you can, too

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

@badlogicgames forever the funniest attempted pivot solely because of the magnitude of its failure

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

@tszzl I think that's called negging

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

@APStylebook they're right and they should say it

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

@wwwjim ooh ioskeley mono is pretty

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

dylan goings out here givin' hope to the lil guy (it's me, I'm the little guy 🥲) @CascadiaJS

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

fantastic talk from @darius_cepulis about composable apis and how to design good ones, in the right way(s). I've been theorycrafting a homelab IaC framework lately, and this has been extremely relevant info for me 🤙 @CascadiaJS

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

@ericclemmons @killedbygoogle it was all worth it if they eliminate mosquitos

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

have come across this issue a few times, even when using @mattpocockuk's skill files. a feedback loop of spec->code->back to spec seems empowering

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

very interesting talk from @JI from Expo about "linked literare programming", aka an attempt to solve the persistent issue of spec docs drifitng from code during implementation @CascadiaJS

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

me looking at css turning into a real programming language

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

bless @jdsteinbach for bringing us an honest to goodness code talk. it's not all ai out there! @CascadiaJS

second talk of the day was just @joelhooks listing off all the cool ppl and things I've also learned about and started using from here on twitter, which was honestly very fun!

the one agent -> many agents -> back to one agent pipeline is real

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

one of the big AX wins I do love is sites doing context negotiation and returning markdown when an agent tries to parse content from a url - wayyy better than getting the full html

[oscar gabriel @oscabriel]

first talk of @CascadiaJS is matt biilmann of @Netlify talking about AX, so-called "agent experience." skeptical of how important this is as the models get smarter / more independently capable, but probably still worth thinking about especially if you're an open weight enthusiast
