my personal site now has a face that follows your cursor and a 3D bookshelf you can pull books off and spin.
none of this was necessary...
The fully customisable basket made from Vienna weaving is truly a satisfying result. I enjoy experimenting with the many different variations. #OpenSCAD #3dprinting
My job now is to break down the requirements into bite-sized pieces that the AI can understand—and that I can easily review later—point out example components for the AI to use as a guide, then wait and check the results. Did I forget anything?

Spotify's Chief Architect just showed how they ship 4,5K deployments /day with Claude at Anthropic stage
27-minutes. free. By #1 music app dev
"More than 99% of our engineers use AI coding tools. Adoption took off after Opus 4.5"
Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
Creator of Claude Code just dropped a 6-min workshop on new Claude feature during live session in London.
Boris Cherny: “A lot of my code these days is written by "routines". I’m not doing the prompting - I create the routines that do the prompting.”
6 minutes. Free. From a live session.
Watch this now. This will change the way you vibe-code forever.

In May 1998, Macromedia released a vector graphics editor for creating interactive Macromedia Flash 3.0 web animations.
Flash 3.0 included new features such as vector & bitmap transparency, shape morphing, sprite animation

We'll have to think about what we're going to charge you for that... #copilot #interruption
Plugin 'GitHub Copilot - Your AI Pair Programmer' might be slowing things down
Really? Some people say otherwise. #AI
I’m currently quite busy with the usual last 20% at work (#ParetoPrinciple). Still, I’ve managed to find a quick moment to make some progress on my rather complex new 3D model. #OpenSCAD #3dprinting
And I thought I’d cancel my Apple Plus subscription once Shrinking was over. But now this – Ted’s coming back... #feelgood #streaming #tedlasso #believe youtube.com/watch?v=PxZg4SfI…
Just working on some wall-mounted junction box in #OpenSCAD for a #3Dprinting side project while listening to some music on my not so smart speakers ;) #tuesday #afterwork
I feel a bit like I’m 5 to 10 years late to the party, but I’m currently really impressed by this library by Kurt Hutton (@IrevDev), which just can #RoundAnything, mainly polygon with #OpenSCAD though. ;) github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-An…

Made a lot more progress this weekend. It feels like a real app now: settings are broken up into multiple panels, there are lots more keyboard shortcuts, and you can select paths by clicking on them. It also allows overlapping paths at varying heights.

every skeleton screen you've ever hand-coded is a waste of time
you're literally measuring padding and guessing widths to build a worse version of a layout that already exists in your DOM
so I made a package that just reads the real one

Ditched boring flat maps forever.
Population Density 3D map- This is a premium glass-like orb floating in a quantum black void, with glowing spikes for every major city - taller + brighter = higher population.
Rotate it. Zoom in. It was a fun exercise balancing 3D performance with clean, minimal UI.

React + Vite | @threejs | Tailwind CSS | Lucide React
What do you think of the dark aesthetic?
Like if you’re impressed

Rich and I just worked a combined 3 hours on a tricky bug.
AI quickly found out where it breaks and proposed a fix. But it was the wrong fix - we took the time to find out what was the underlying reason and fixed that instead.
Always think through what AI proposes to you.
