@juliusgehrig @hakimel @mateuszsiek91 Ah great memories, really enjoyed building that with you 🤩

[Ahmed 🇺🇦 @ahmed_sulajman]

It's been a while, but I'm excited to share that @bowlofcode and I started @fragmentappio this year!

✨ A text-based design tool that ships your UI ✨

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

That's the real power of being a developer.

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

Building your tools to support building apps is massively underused. We already use software to build software. Our text editors are software, our frameworks are software, and git is software. But these tools are general purpose. They never focus on the current challenge.

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

It doesn't stop at building software. Use your skills in your everyday life. Picture having your own set of scripts, plugins, and tools that you've crafted to address your unique challenges.

@juliusgehrig Enjoy the walks, Julius! It was fantastic to work with you!

I’m fascinated with #generativeart lately and how much mind-blowing artwork is out there. I wrote about my first attempt at creating an animation myself using #cljs and #quil https://t.co/w29vJ4ztR2

I continue to stick new plots on my walls. Adding a new one always makes me happy 🙂

My second plot: Tricles

After a long break, I found some time to continue plotting

I enjoyed learning about #testinglibrary and #msw in @kentcdodds epic React course. The concept of testing like a user is excellent.

The only thing I missed was interactive development. I started my Clojure REPL and it worked like a charm. Here's a small demo:

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

I wanted to share a side project I started to build last May, it's one of those rare projects of mine which are not only good for learning but really helped me automate a dull part of life which is doing groceries. 🧵

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

I published the code https://t.co/yzpb2Jp9Jv but it's customized to my use case and cannot be used in general.

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

The development workflow isn't perfect yet. I'll get back to it in two years at the latest. Then, I hopefully rework the ugly layout.

Rewriting https://t.co/RUbHsfnsSa iteratively for 30 minutes each day:

I wanted to spent some time to gather inspirations from my list of awesome personal websites and it was a perfect timing that @sarah_edo just published this article https://t.co/0HBpVonb3l

[Thomas Sojka @rollacaster]

I rewrote my page (once again 🙈) after updating it became too cumbersome. The whole setup is written in Clojure. A custom org-mode to hiccup parser converts all my old blog posts https://t.co/GsKVPKImTo

@Pitch is my first gig out of college, but I can tell our team culture is truly unique in the industry.

With the help of @pesterhazy, @codebeige, @adamrenklint & many others, we crafted our Engineering Principles: https://t.co/dX6GNt5yF5
