Geist mono numbers in 0x format as eyebrows for page sections is such a slop indicator these days. Who put it into the Opus training data?

Day 1 of 60 Something light, a tactile theme toggle for ui-theme.dev Coming shortly with a new release with updates and bug fixes.
Day 315 of 365... I'll create a new component every day for the rest of the year. That's 60 new components that are inherently mine in functionality.

Getting lots of healthy fresh air. Progress on Badb, our Defence work (vision-based navigation, autonomy).

Please give me negative feedback, tell me what I'm doing wrong. ui-theme.dev
Replying to @TonyEdgal
Lol if I don't receive negative feedback on something I'm doing, I feel there's something wrong Be like Maths exam. When you're solving and it's looking too easy, you need to go and check whether you understood the question😂

Here's an underrated tip. By now everyone knows the top @shadcn registries out of the hundreds. You probably see the same ones rinsed in every scheduled bot tweet. But like a inefficient job screening process, some gems get little to no recognition. I usually go to the repo, swap is:open, for is:merged and then open the merged registry PRs and visit those domains to see what the registry looks and feels like. Here's a few I have found below:

Disclosures, not sure I'd ever need to change theme with a disclosure, since it exists in the page flow. But I loved the CloudFlare disclosure so much, I had to bring the design over.

Shameless plug... You can replicate this by calling `createColorThemeToggle` in `uitheme-web` Trigger the function to change the background on the event...

New discovery... 😂

😂, you're right, everyone is self taught at the end of the day. I never really thought of it as an oxymoron until just now. I might have to disagree with you, it's definitely up there amongst the weird things in this field. You'd think a profession that's obsessed with tabs vs spaces, code formatting, CLEAN code and semi colons, will not create a dichotomy where one is an oxymoron.

I always regret not switching to computer science as an undergrad... Self taught, but every other week, I drown the noise out and watch CS50, listen to Malan teach (I sleep off sometimes, can be great white noise) I type code in the web ide, even took the scratch class, because I am trying to really understand computers from the first principles. Other times, it's Aaron from database school, learning SQL. Point is some people care, not everyone can be this detailed, I do it because I want to and because I am applying to schools to do a comprehensive masters in computer science.
The lack of juniors is going to be a problem. But I struggle with the fact that most of the juniors I’ve met in the last two years have been woefully unprepared for the industry. It’s not just that we’re failing to educate them properly. (We’re absolutely are.) It’s that they don’t have any real interest in the craft. You try to talk to them about their personal projects and they tend not to actually have any. Not that they don’t have some example app or some schoolwork checked into GitHub. They definitely have that. I mean that they haven’t tried playing with the computer and see where they could push it. In my day, we made video games. Or operating systems. Or tried to figure out a clever way to render a GUI faster. Or try to deliver apps like HTML pages but as serialized Java Swing components. Or make in-memory objects automatically persist to the database. (I came to regret that one. 😅) I don’t see anything like that from this generation. They’re not coming up with a clever way to make an LLM Rickroll (or 6-7?) someone. They’re not experimenting with compiling a native app to WASM. They’re not making a video game. (Always a classic!) They’re not, really, doing anything of interest. They just… want a job. And that’s kind of a problem. Because I want to hire them and teach them. But I keep finding that they quietly push everything off onto ChatGPT and fail to learn. They think they’re succeeding when they’re actually failing miserably. Is anyone else noticing this pattern?

Item 7 sounds like a good idea when you're hungry, and when you order it. At the point of unboxing, you start to feel the transactional nature of the food, rice not neatly packed, fake smokey-ness wafting through your nose. Sigh
Item 7 rice is to transactional. Zero love infused in making it. Very commercial. Best way I can put it

This story is one of the funniest on twitter. Nigerians I appreciate all of you for being great people.
Dear Nigerians You single handedly tripled my LinkedIn following So I do appreciate you guys But if I may Employers will find it a little bit suspicious that you worked with us as a quantitative analyst for 3y But then worked as a chef at “Chicken Republic” for 11 months Apparently it’s a fast food in Lagos
