My latest project...could we replace Cloudflare on our own hosted vms and be much faster? Maybe?docs.combd.dev/introduction.…
Not zero but I agree far less. You still need a few good engineers to setup processes to control the flow of changes
Made a new @Roblox game this weekend with my daughter as the tester and art director! Plushy Ranch where you get to put your plushies to work making you coins. Working on a market to buy and sell them! roblox.com/games/74348926376…

AI agent builds itself a robot body, does exactly what experts warned youtu.be/QRVz697rEx0?si=l3tj… I love this channel he likes to show you how off the rails some of these CEO's are.
Check out a fun #roblox game I made this weekend with my daughter! She play tested each level at age 7. It was so cute. ro.blox.com/Ebh5?af_dp=roblo…
Made a fun K-Pop Tower Obby Roblox game with my daughter last night. It was fun but a bummer she couldn't play with her own character as now new games are always 16+ 😭 till you get 250 people to play. roblox.com/share?code=9d5b42…
The story behind how I made one of the fastest, smallest, and most secure node.js package managers in 5 days! getjpm.sh/blog/building-jpm/
Looking for a fast, secure, and small node package manager? Check out getjpm.sh You also don't need Node installed to run binary npm packages!
Stop learning all of these languages! Learn how to build systems with software and the limits. Learn common software mistakes and bugs. Learn software security, how different language help, and how to automate testing software. Then use AI agents to write code.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Software Engineers go take the State of Devs 2026 survey if you have a minute! survey.devographics.com/surv…
On vacation and thinking about what would it look like to do a new source control in 2026 sourcekeep.dev/ What am I missing? Private or limited permission files, branches, PRs. Instant workspaces that bring config .env and installs like node_modules folder.
Wow is a no code platform firing its staff by changing their access code? Or is Claude Code eating @YayLT lunch so they are firing people and using AI buzzwords to make investors look away from the fire. webflow.com/blog/evolving-we…
Has anyone else noticed the old you get, when you get sick, it feels like you were hit by an even bigger truck each time?
I agree but there are others who have tried and got some freedom like @TomGregoryTech
I don't know anyone who quit their job to live of savings and built something that made money before their savings run out except @AndreyAzimov
I always think it's the wrong way to do it
I think you should build something on the side and once it makes equal or more money than your main job or freelance gigs and it's stable, quit the job and switch
Being unemployed somehow makes people lazy and feel too relaxed to build something, like your day is fully free of commitments which sounds ideal but freedom isn't when stuff is built I think, you need constraints
I had income from my YouTube channel Panda Mix Show in 2013 when I started, and it took over a year before I made enough money to switch
Obviously I wish him well but I think better do the switch than hard quit
I wish I worked for a company that used Basecamp. Anything has to be better than Jira. I was lucky enough to work for one company that used a version of Shape Up vs Scrum. I loved it!
