  Cooking is a big part of my steez (I cook most days, most meals). While a lot of people tend to show off their own recipes, I love following other people’s #recipes. I think I’m going to make more of an effort to share what I’m cooking, if that’s your thing.

  I’ve still got some work to do. Gotta add the real paywall, and I think discovery will be an endless improvement cycle. The app lives and dies on having good content. Without the algorithm that a social network has, you have to supply feeds and unless someone comes into the app knowing exactly what they want (basically only me), it’s hard to immediately catch the hook. There will be much work in the future suggesting cool feeds to follow and the experience around it.

  @rizzi Any chance you're willing to share how you did the YouTube support in the latest Reeder? I'd like to add YouTube support to my app but am struggling to figure out a reliable solution.

  @pointfreeco What is the upgrade path for The Point Free Way? Does it update automatically somehow?

  Statistically, I spend more time in CI fixing failures due to upstream changes than mistakes in my code.

  TIL If you take a screenshot in mobile safari, it gives you the option to screenshot the *entire* page. That's neat.

  In honor of Deep Dish Swift and the first year I'm participating with an app of my own, I've made it easy for you to follow your pizza in LightWatch. There's now a lightly curated pizza themed feed to get you started. https://getlightwatch.app/for/pizza

  Thinking about how Amazon used to just be a bookstore, for no reason in particular.

  Ok, I’ve figured out a conference talk to give. Now I just need 43 minutes of stuff to say between the two jokes I came up with.

  The most effective security training I’ve ever seen was a GitHub security engineer who quietly traveled between unlocked, unattended laptops at a company all-hands, posting the phrase “poopin” to the owner’s Twitter account. A whole company educated forever in 48 hours. Mythos sounds scary but imagine a sanctioned, corporate white hat phishing agent with a similarly benign payload. Everyone would stay on their does, *knowing* it was coming for them.

  After listening to my elementary school aged children talk for approximately 3 minutes, I’m thinking that putting VC money into a urinalysis device called iCup is going to be a sure fire windfall.

  @ObsidianUrbex I just discovered your account and your work is awesome. Any chance you'd consider updating the RSS feed on your website with the same stuff you post here? I'm building an app for following visual-focused RSS feeds (https://getlightwatch.app/) and while Mastodon RSS works fine, your dedicated RSS would be more ideal. However, it hasn't been updated in a couple of years and seems to only include one image per post, vs the multiple you share here.

  @mattiem what I will say is, when I look at my life, the things I’m proud of are what I’ve created, not what I did to create them. I love my tools, and I hate my tools, but my pride is in my artifacts. I sign my name in my artifacts. Do I *deserve* to be paid more than a plumber or an electrician? These skills all require system understanding, design, and execution talent. What makes one worth more than another? Does scarcity of skill have virtuous implications?
