From small purpose-built tools to large applications, building on the web has been my jam since 2010.

Sometimes the biggest risk you take is remaining comfortable.

After several failed attempts to get AI to debug my code, I finally threatened to cancel my subscription if it didn’t get it right this time…

It fixed the bug

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@lumpsssss @AllyTaft @mikesmith187 About the same as the Miele being recommended every other comment.

Yes it’s expensive but if you buy a new $200-250 shark from Amazon every few years it’s no different cost wise over time and the Sebo will easily last 10+ years .

@lloydyofficial @AllyTaft @mikesmith187 Built for life. Great warranty. Nothing wrong with Miele but Sebo is the way to go if you’re buying for more than just the high end name.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@AllyTaft @mikesmith187 Nobody going to mention Sebo?

Get $20 off coupon “for my loyalty” for a brand I like.

Go shop for a new purchase… $89

“Ok sweet I can get it for $69, let’s do this”

Tax + shipping was $19.

Total at checkout $88 😑

Not what you asked directly but one thing I've wished for a better ui/ux after making the change is audio related. Setting audio quality, bitrate, etc. Yes, it's all just a settings file but something a bit more joyful to use and swap sources, quality, etc would be a nice touch to help audiophile types switch

@TheRickyDotNet @dhh @FrameworkPuter Glad to hear it worked! Yeah it's easy to now get deep into customizing it and getting all the apps that matter most to you but that's half the fun of Linux anyways.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

Tested out Omakub from @dhh and damnnnnn, this could make so many Mac loyalist dev friends of mine consider the move to Linux.

Great work and thank you DHH for putting this together 🙏

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@ZeClint Loaded it up on a couple year old windows machine I had. Love my Mac, don't get me wrong, but having Linux on my second workstation has made me use it for my development work 10x more than I was using it prior with windows.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

That's unfortunate. I'm sure @dhh would want to learn about bugs or causes of this if you have anything more to share.

Did you try again on another fresh install? There are a few prompts that are part of the setup that may have done something wacky so you could try with minimal add-ons baked in.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@TheRickyDotNet @dhh @FrameworkPuter Oh strange. Let me know if you figure it out

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

You can always play it safe to start. Just make the bootable USB and launch ububtu from that. Then install omakub on that environment and play around all while your main hdd remains untouched.

The other thing you could do is just partition a portion of your main drive and the install Ubuntu to that partition from the bootable USB. Then you've got a dual boot system and your old systems and files remain in tact.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

I did mine on my old gaming PC that I no longer use. It was a pretty powerful machine when I built it 3-4 years ago and the install went without a hitch. Now I can run some bare metal containers from home and save a good chunk of change and see better performance.

Wish I could help you more but a fresh install of the correct Ubuntu and then don't do anything to the system before installing omakub should get you there. Otherwise maybe DM DHH about it.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@WheelbarrowDgtl @dhh It's fun as a tech fiddler to try these new repos. Omakub definitely has some stickiness to it that some other Linux distros don't especially for people switching to Linux for the first time.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@frnguerrero @WheelbarrowDgtl @dhh Loving it as well!

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@dhh Really great stuff. It feels familiar yet snappy, intuitive, and thoughtfully paired down compared the Mac experience. Bravo 🙏🙇‍♂️

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@levelsio @oldestasian @WHOOP @chargerlessxyz Your ugly scale is out of whack, or you haven't seen much ugly shit.

He was excited to share his own evolution in this category and I think it's major step up visually from whoop.

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@PaulEnu_ Ok then. Best of luck to you!

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

Unsubscribed to so many marketing emails over the last week.

What's amazing is how many of them seemingly ignore this and still send me emails. Gotta be illegal, no?

[Jordan Johnson @wwwdotdev]

@PaulEnu_ Can it be asked here?
