Was exploring 🦀 Rust for backend over the weekend... So far I feel like using: - Prisma (with `bunx prisma` just for migrations) - SeaORM - Rspc - Axum is definitely the way to go for a ts/js soy dev like me. Rust is kinda clicking now and it's been a very nice experience.

Open-source audio scene is quite on 🔥 lately! - @kyutai_labs STT, TTS modules and Unmute fully open-sourced - @nvidia drops 3 models: Parakeet (beats Whisper), Audio Flamingo 3 and Canary-Qwen-2.5B (new SOTA on @huggingface leaderboard) - @MistralAI released 3B and 24B Voxtral

Still yet to be subscribed to an AI chat service, but it's been feeling like an undeniable need lately. My usecases are code, chat, and general consultations for learning. I've been using a couple of useful free ones all over the place so it's hard to just pick 1.

Had my fair share of unfixable blockers caused by Bun today. Tried Node and Deno on the same code, and it just works... I know Bun will fix that at some point, but also might be a good time to start exploring Deno lol.

This is crazy

github.com/brandonmcconne… Super cool idea for React, but also one that SolidJS fixes intrinsically, and I love Solid for that.

Added Vim-mode in my database client: Snom SQL.

I'm making my own database client. Only that I have been writing everything BUT the database-related features lmfao. I've only been focusing on: layout docking, command palette, hotkeys, and theming lol. I'm calling it Snom SQL ❄️. Super fun to write tho.

Just tried @KagiHQ's Orion Browser, and it's actually super promising as an Arc user: has Vertical Tabs, Frameless (focus mode), and has the lowest Energy Impact & memory usage. From my testing, ordered by perf: Orion (best), Chrome, Arc (my main), SigmaOS, Zen (worst).

Hear me out: Resin Keycap TanStack merch. 🌴

I bought a BYD Sealion 6 earlier this year. Here's a photo of me with it in Iloilo Sunset Boulevard. 🌇 Put it through 4o and it captures the details so well, could probably still tweak it, but this is already amazing!!

Demos were so good, pulled the trigger with that ChatGPT Plus. Here's a photo of me in 🇯🇵 Asakusa, Sensō-ji last November. Perfect for the Ghibli vibes.

Can't believe I'll be second-thinking almost every image I'll see starting today. Is this the new normal?

Making a DB explorer for pg, mysql, and sqlite (for myself) using SolidJS + Tauri. Literally my only progress is anything but sql related. Just a bunch of UI niceties, shortcuts, command palettes, theming that just feel good. I can't move the needle any faster. I feel so slow…

WebKit is so weird lol. I was pulling my hair trying to figure out what's causing the layout shift when I change themes (literally only colors in CSS). Chromium handles it no problem. It's minor but it's pretty interesting to see these differences between browser engines.

I asked Grok to make me a toast library in Flutter. I just braindead followed its instructions, and let it debug its own mistakes. It's so funny to see it work lol. Took me like 20 mins. I haven't touched 🐦 Flutter in two years, and have 0 idea how to write a lib for pubdev.

tRPC from 5.5x to 0.6x is kind of insane. Can't wait to try this in action.
