This is your quarterly reminder that if you have young kids and are a fan of the open web, they should be using kidzfun.art on whatever tablet you have at home! It’s a fun and educational Progressive Web App I built for my own kids this year.

Microsoft's reliability is so bad that not even NPM's Status page knows that its website npmjs.com is down

I had a fantastic 3.5 years at Stainless, building and managing the SDKs engineering team. While sad to say goodbye to such genuinely wonderful, intelligent and innovative colleagues, I’m so excited to see what they all build at Anthropic.

Ever feel like a complete dumbass? Well, I do this week. I was getting thousands of visitors to my-elevation.com , my little side project, but all from China, literally zero from Google. I finally looked into it, and ...

.. my SEO was literally wrong, pointing to "myelevation dot com", missing the hyphen. Claude then told me 8 other simple ways to make it better and did so. I've now begun to get clicks from Google, months later.

A quick little demo of Mazers, the fun game I shipped a couple of weeks ago for iPhone. It’s a port of Mazer, a game I built for WebOS in 2010. Free to download, give it a try!

The Number 1 puzzle game for ... WebOS... lives again! I rewrote my fun game Mazers from 2010 to be all modern and pretty, running on iOS and iPad.
Play it today, it's free!

It seems Baidu has found my little site my-elevation.com , and is starting to recommend it a bit. Sweet, all the effort I put into to i18n and page speed is beginning to pay off!

Hey @dalmaer , I went to try out Stitch for designing a new app I have in mind, but found it impossible to read - I'm one of those Firefox holdouts. Not confidence inspiring for a design focused system :-(

Now this is how you do it. This goes beyond the usual blather about the Irish, to truly speaking to the Irish experience and what we mean to the rest of the world. Did not expect this today, but well done @NYCMayor

Always strive to work with amazing contractors who take payment in the form of sponsoring their rally car :-)

Big news… Stainless is expanding into rally racing! 🏎️
Just kidding.
We recently worked with an old friend from Stripe, richö, on a security project. Instead of a typical payment, he asked if we’d sponsor his rally car (hard to say no to that).
If you happen to see the Stainless logo flying down a gravel stage somewhere, now you know why.

Somewhat self congratulatory, by I keep using and loving the NPM module json-ai-translation I built a while back. It works great with OpenAI and Anthropic to efficiently translate JSON files of text into as many languages as you need.

If you're an Irish Energia electricity customer, I built a handy tool (energy.chofter.com) to help you better understand your energy usage, and simulate what would happen if you got an EV or added batteries.
Hope you find it useful

A fun little holiday hack in Kidz Fun Art - my daughter Hannah asked to be able to do pixel art, so here we are. She also said it should be possible to keep the pixels aligned when dragging a selection of them around.

Years ago at Facebook we prepared for years for huge tests where we deliberately shut down an entire data centre every few months. If your team's product went down, you were in trouble. It took guts to draw a line in the sand like that. @vercel take note. cc @tomocchino

Kinda fun - my cute little hacky site my-elevation.com was getting zero traffic, but it seems that Baidu has begun recommending it. I knew that translating it into 10 different languages would pay off!

Here's a little preview of Claude Code working with photos locally on my Mac using the locally running MCP server I'm building (using @StainlessAPI ), as part of a much more capable suite of tools for organizing and syncing your media. More to come!

Ok @expo , you got me, I'm too excited about this app to wait 90 minutes for a free build, take my money!
To be fair, I should've paid years ago
