My wife is on a stained glass kick recently and this #Godzilla is amazing.
I love the fire everywhere, atomic breath, and the textured glass for its body.

My wife creates a lot of #stainedglass projects that are a little outside the norm. 👻
Here is one she made before #Halloween to pay homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic #film, The Shining.

v0.4.0 of Jisticle, a native macOS GitHub Gist editor.
- Switched to Neon + Tree-sitter for better syntax highlighting
- Handle truncated content for files that are bigger than 1MB
- Improved markdown preview
- Misc UI improvements
I couldn't find a native #MacOS #SQLite browser that I really liked using, so... I made my own. 😅
Very heavily inspired by Postico, the (IMO) best #PostgreSQL client for #Mac: https://eggerapps.at/postico2/. SQLiteo is pure #Swift, as fast as possible, and intuitive to use.
SQLiteo is still alpha quality and has some rough edges, but I've been using it every day and it's been great. #MIT licensed and happy to take PRs to improve it.

I love this so much https://owickstrom.github.io/the-monospace-web/
New laptop, so it's time to update my list of apps I install on a clean #MacOS install: https://gist.github.com/adamghill/d107a729923dff1b6c0aa17c72d1c5ff.
- Swapped Term2 for Ghostty
- Add Tiny Player, SQLiteo
- Unsure about DevUtils (there are a few other options here, but tbh I don't love any of them -- I've thought about building my own for probably 3 years -- how hard can it be?! 🙈)
- Also unsure about setting up `fish` again; `zsh` might be fine 🤷
Anything I'm missing? What do you install right away when you get a new laptop?

Some of this resonates, but maybe code wizard is not the correct lens?
For ~50 years, programmer meant “writes code”. But, maybe it should have meant "solves problems".
In other words: companies don't pay programmers high salaries to write code, they pay them to solve business problems. Sometimes that means you don't write any code at all and fix a process problem. Other times, code is the solution.
The code is not the valuable artifact, though.
Did a double feature of Bugonia and Class of Nuke ‘em High the other night and would recommend if only for the wildly opposite approaches to satire. #cinemastodon #horror
I feel like there was a real loss of identity when an IC software engineer becomes a tech lead/EM.
Instead of heads down writing code, it’s more about reviewing PRs, spec-ing out next steps, thinking high level about the architecture, etc.
AI is looking like it will force that transition on huge swaths of software engineers at some point.
Maybe not 100% and maybe not tomorrow, but it seems pretty likely to change the profession pretty dramatically.
It’s gonna be a tricky inflection point.
The perennial question: do I start freaking out now or should I try to ignore it for just a little while longer
I think we're going to see some companies fail or struggle really hard because they solved something quickly, but couldn't iterate beyond that initial success
For sure. This happened in the before-times, too, but I'm guessing this will happen even more going forward. It's going to be a wild next couple of years.
Is there a bechdel test for podcasts
Instead of programming languages or frameworks, have we now progressed to AI model tribalism
Not sure what I expected from HN, but some of the comments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47768750 🙈
I personally think there should be way more forks. That's part of the deal with OSS! Forks are a way to go in a drastically different direction and that's kinda neat to see.
"I'm also not sure why that is better than what's already out there” could be said about literally every single web framework at one point in time.
Maybe the point is to just put your spin on it?!

My understanding: the PR for adding dataclass_transform was merged into jedi in Sept 2025, however the last official release version is 0.19.2 from Nov 2024 per https://pypi.org/project/jedi/#history And 0.19.2 is the version bundled with the ms-python.python extension. Which is... a bummer.
Time to switch to emacs?
