Pretty big month for the web. Tons of great posts came out, Apple WWDC took place and a few shocking acquisitions happened as well. I have been travelling for work and with family this month a lot so no other crazy updates from my personal life this month, but as always great music recommendations for you all and a...
Some of the tech giants for the past few years have tried hard to kill the most important tool of the web, links. AI companies have stolen content from the web without ever asking for permission just to wrap it into the soulless chats that keep on forgetting to credit the original authors. They rarely mention where...
Drama about the pricing of AI models, countless npm vulnerabilities and Google I/O that at this point should be rebranded to Google AI. This is a short summary of the past month in software. Most of the news from these categories I entirely ignore, so I prepared for you a list of super non-trendy resources from the...
What a month! GitHub went down six million times, eleven thousand Vercel security holes have been unveiled, Copilot doesn’t accept new signups due to a super unsustainable business model (finally someone admitted it), Anthropic landed on top of Hacker News billions of times due to some drama, popular npm packages...
I abandoned graphical code editors years ago. Something that GUI IDEs like Visual Studio Code do really well is the diff preview. This is something I missed a little at the beginning, but since I started using Delta, I never missed the GUI again. I don’t remember how that happened, but over the years I also...
I initially published this tip on r/neovim Reddit, and folks liked it. It will soon probably disappear in the maze of memes, so it probably makes sense for it to be a blog post. Here it is. Do you know the substitute command :s in Vim/NeoVim? I bet you do! :s/one/two But did you know that slash / is not the only...
When you start a new project, it feels nice that everything lives in a single main.go file. When things start to grow, you split things into multiple files. We will add tests later, right? Requirements change, someone joins the team, and in the meantime, you swapped SQLite for Postgres. In no time, your pedantically...
The World Wide Web is one of the greatest inventions of humanity. This medium gave me the opportunity to do what I do, made me passionate about it, taught me so many things and gave me so many laughs. In many contexts this saying sounds cliché, but without the internet this world really wouldn’t be what it is now....
Little disclaimer. What’s “more intuitive” for me may not be “more intuitive” for you. Also, the title says “Vim” but everything here is applicable in Neovim. With that out of the way, let’s learn something cool! Vim allows us to increment a number via CTRL-A and decrement it using CTRL-X. Super handy, and I use it...
Two years ago I published “Apple, please fix the Safari Reading List” which suggests some improvements and highlights one critical bug that Apple should fix to make Safari Reading List usable. Having a robust system to keep things for later is crucial for my workflow. Unfortunately, nothing changed since then and it...
What a month! After losing a job at the end of January, I started looking for a new one straight away. Seeking a new job nowadays is very different from how it used to be. Very long, multi-step and mentally draining processes are the new norm. The recent explosion of AI tools makes things massively more complicated....
If you’ve been building web for a while, you probably remember the mess of six million files in your head element just to have a well-supported favicon. This is all over now, and a handful of files should be more than enough. Alleluia! “How to Favicon in 2026” on Evil Martians blog goes in depth into it. SVG...
