I'm incredibly proud to announce the virtual seat website I built for @AUSParalympics at @Slikdigital has been awarded @fwa website of the day! 🏆 So far it's raised almost $900k for their amazing athletes. https://t.co/au3FRSZQW8

@willyates76 My guess (if there’s no stadium around there) would be exploded electrical substation. Those things are hella bright when they pop.

@pie6k Are multiple video/audio layers on the roadmap? I was surprised that was not possible with the paid version a few weeks back.

Opus 4.5 is so good that I’m having to remind myself to eat. I can’t tear myself away from the screen. I haven’t felt this excited since coding my first HTML in 1996. So. Many. Ideas.

Well I’m glad I purchased 265GB RAM in August. 😮

Writing Python scripts that use a bunch of dependecies and then bundling them all into an executable I can bundle feels like witchcraft. I have never felt so powerful! 🧙🏼‍♂️✨

@inertiajs this is a typo, right? It should be instructing people to update app.js. 🤔

It’s 2025, and we’re still forced to use tables to layout HTML emails. 🫠

The value of an opinionated framework really comes through when using AI to write code. Years of best practice ensure a rock solid instruction manual for the LLM.

What a loss. Drew was so good his style literally defined the “movie poster look”. RIP 🫡

Gonna give the new NIN Tron soundtrack a spin today. I’m hoping it increases my coding productivity as much as the Daft Punk one does. 📈

Ok, you have my attention 🧐

Biggest applause for Remix 3 so far is `class` instead of `className`. Sometimes it’s the little things.

Alien Earth concept: “What if Amelie were a Xenomorph whisperer?”

The Chrome dev tools MCP has made performance bugs so much easier to debug and fix. Traditionally errorless issues are a nightmare to debug. Now you can watch ai a/b test in the browser to find memory leaks. A total game changer. I’ve used it successfully 3 times this week ❤️

[SHEALAN @Shealan]

I can’t wait to play with this! 😍

Three.js devs don’t know it yet, but this will become one of their favorite tools🥖

Bake thousands of animations, run them entirely in a compute shader, no heavy GLB size, no CPU overhead, no AnimationMixer bottleneck ⚡️

[SHEALAN @Shealan]

Watching this closely. Huge potential.

I'm so excited about what @paper is building, so we're joining their journey as investors and partners to do whatever we can to help make Paper the absolute best design tool in the world for modern web teams.

A free-form design tool built around the DOM has so much potential to completely change the way we go from design to code.

Imagine designing something in Paper, then just being able to right-click and copy as perfect HTML + Tailwind.

Or taking an existing code component and importing it into Paper to edit as if it were a Figma file.

I think a few years from now we'll laugh about the hand-off process we put up with today, and I'm excited to support the @paper team as they completely reimagine how we design and deliver UIs for the web 🚀

@zen_aashiq Frustrating, isn't it? The performance of those little boxes is outstanding. I wish @digitalocean or @Vultr would enter the game.

I'm such a huge fan of Hetzner servers, but the pings from Australia are brutal. It's wild that no other cheap hosts are offering similar ARM64 based VPS. It's been two years now since they launched in Falkenstein.
