Title - A prayer for my code
The moment I git push
Before the CI does deploy
I say a little prayer for you
While running my lint checks
And wondering what brackets I missed
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever I ll stay in the blame
And I will hate you
Forever and ever we never may part
Oh how Iβll hate you
Together, together I must hand you over
To live without you
Would only be freedom for me
πΌ Nobody but meeeee πΌ
I run for the train, dear
And while riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my Chai-tea break-time
I say a little prayer for you
<Repeat stanza 2>
My darling believe me
For me thereβs a whole life
Away from you.
Please let me go
I'm not in love with you
(Answer my prayer) answer my prayer babe
(Answer my prayer) say youβll let me go
(Answer my prayer) answer my prayer babe
<repeat stanza 2>

Tech twitter especially frontend discourse is dead or at the very least dying and becoming increasingly disconnected. π
Open source burnout - Apathy and general lack of compassion towards open source work has made it unviable for talented devs. Many popular names I followed for tech content have stopped working in the open, closed projects for funded patrons only etc.
Okay so hereβs what Iβve gathered about defi/web3/blockchain ecosystems.
Not sure how long this thread will be.
Ethereum is a runaway success but it has a few flaws atm. Itβs not scalable, not secure enough, uses too much energy and fees to make a block are too high. The foundation is fixing these. Will take a few years.
Meanwhile there are other block chains with these improvements already in them. They are continuously testing scaling, security, staking and low fees + ethereumβ as functionality.
Backing up my PC and finding code snippet projects and putting them up on github :)
Here's one super basic trial of puppeteer taking browser screenshots. github.com/pksjce/puppeteβ¦
I once spent 2 whole weeks trying to create a vite storybook builder plugin and failed miserably. And then I saw someone on the storybook discord crack the same problem and get it working. I abandoned my project and now I'm thinking I'll delete it.
I'll atleast have this screenshot of those days I struggled with a problem way above my capacity! Did learn a lot about storybook and vite internals though. Maybe will visit those topics again sometime.
Since my last meltdown over how my twitter feed had gone completely out of my control, I've managed to really get a grip on it.
Unfollowed a total of 63 people esp people who shared hot-takes, polarising and spread negativity. I could feel my feed relaxing with every unfollow
So who are the people I actually follow?
- People who don't tweet a lot but when they do it's worth bookmarking.
- People who create blogs, videos, code, live streams.
- People who educate across my interests - Tech, politics, philosophy.
As part of ongoing maintenance, I now mute liberally. Be it convos or high engagement posts I'm tagged in, terms that I've heard enough of.
I also have a few people blocked. People I'm no longer interested in hearing from. She-who-must-not-be-named is on that list.
Still in my cart. Read some raving reviews on Amazon. I have been trying to come up with a brand color for myself and nothings resonating. This book might help.
