Five years ago, I started having hip pain. I blamed it on everything: not enough exercise, gout, sleeping wrong. I just kept pushing through it. Turns out I had Avascular Necrosis (#AVN), a rare disease that was slowly destroying my hip. My experience: danbrag.com/posts/avascular-ā€¦

Avascular Necrosis: My Journey - Dan Brag Dot Com

I donā€™t really talk much publicly about my health or anything like that at all, but I wanted to take some time and talk about what was going on and where Iā€™m at now with my Avascular Necrosis.

I made a scratchpad app called JotBox because apparently every notes app now thinks Iā€™m managing a Fortune 500 company. For the stuff you need to remember for 5 minutes or 5 days without building an entire productivity system around it. apps.apple.com/us/app/jotboxā€¦ #buildinpublic

Whoā€™s pumped for Eurovision?! I know I am. If you want to have fun within to six people, I made a web app you can run via npm or Docker to rank the performances as they air! Check it out: github.com/danbrag/Eurovisioā€¦ Feel free to use, fork, whatever šŸ©µ #eurovision

Yo! I made a little web app to rank Eurovision with your friends. You can score songs live, compare everyoneā€™s rankings, track official results, and generally make finals night more chaotic in a structured way. Excited for the show! #Eurovision github.com/danbrag/Eurovisioā€¦

"I always feel lucky." What a profound statement to not only speak to staking your entire game on a coin flip, but also the immense gratitude you brought to every step you took on #Survivor50, every glance up at the stars You may have been an alternate at one point, @Rick_Devens. But I can't imagine Season 50 without you

Hey yā€™all! Iā€™ve been working on a little project that was originally just for me, but I said fuck it šŸ¤£ Introducing: JotBox. A place to jot down that temporary information with no bloat. No ads, no tracking. apps.apple.com/us/app/jotbo... #apps #ios #productivity

Submitted my first Apple App Store app for review! Itā€™s a tool I made for myself, but wanted to see how the process works for submitting apps. It was pretty interesting and Iā€™m just excited to have it ready for the big leagues. #apps #ios #appstore #vibecoding

Vibe coding is all the rage...so I figured I should try it myself! I'm not a coder - see how it went and some thoughts on #Codex and #Claude danbrag.com/posts/a-foray-inā€¦ #vibecoding #iOS #apps

A Foray Into Vibe Coding - Dan Brag Dot Com

You can't look at much on the Internet without hearing about vibe coding. I'm not here to say that vibe coding is the best thing in the world - It can definitely churn out some crap. But I did want...

Just saw Project Hail Mary! Absolutely a 10/10 film. Funny, serious, emotionalā€¦it kept my attention the whole time. I missed the deep dives into why things were happening from the book but the movie does a great job. #hailmary #movies

The #Powershell help system is so powerful it needs its own topic! Love how robust it is (albeit could be overwhelming if youā€™re not used to reading man pages)
