Dia browser is actually pretty good, and for different reasons than you may think. - It's just better Chrome - Chromium based so dev tools are actually useful - horizontal tabs that are simple - modern search bar - built-in ad blocker - the AI chat is optional and non-intrusive

What could go wrong?

I don't always over-engineer software, but when I do I'm having fun doing it

I think I’ve figured out how to do database migrations for local first apps with @tinybasejs using Pgroll by @xata and custom persister. Now it’s time to PoC it. 👨‍🍳

literally me explaining how @AppearAPI works

the code is shorten ?! version from MDN developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…

can someone please explain me why it takes so much code to create a simple sha hash?

Couldn't figure out how to store stuff from my shed in Postgres. But at least I managed to upload it to cloud using gas and matches. #postgresForEverything

🎉 TinyBase v6.1 🎉 1️⃣ Persist to @bunjavascript's embedded SQLite DB. 2️⃣ Load just subsets of database tables into a Store. 3️⃣ DX: object args on sorting hooks & new auto persisting conveniences. Huge shoutout to @jakubriedl for helping on this release. Much more coming! 🙏

Just use postgres

We’re loving @Cloudflare so far — it’s solving so many of our use cases, we might never need AWS.

Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

separation of concerns means you have to check 3 different places to answer “where is the code for this thing”

Historically, DHH has also been very critical of requirements to work in-office, but this is a good point. world.hey.com/dhh/apple-fire…
