Back here since a long time, what have you been up to ? Personally, I'm looking for a new job as a developer. Bit worried about IA tbh.

The notion of buying a new smartphone makes me feel owned.

What do mean by "owned" ? By the way, I also am in consideration to renew mine.

Just registered an account on bearblog.dev, I don't really know how/what to express down there but it's the first step to do it !

News tab and new icons on the sidebar ? I see @lucian is trying things !

I was designing UIs for Isocubes in Figma and I noticed heroicons.dev fit perfectly. I hope @dk won't be upset for replacing his icons. I can't believe how hard is to start a new platform from scratch. Now I try to maximize the value each user gets from Subreply by adding features.

What would Elon do if he started a social network?
👨💻 Matthieu V.
Maybe would make a lot of hype of something that looks great but lacks of polish overall, in the same way that Tesla cars. People will sign up or even pay for it despite not doing even better than competitors.

Just read a great article on the science to be better at writing, in the context of software engineers, it really highlighted to me that I do not write as much as I should. It made me realize that it could be better for me to write a lot to be able to express my ideas easily ! blog.pragmaticengi...

I'm trying to improve my programming skills, what "exercises" would you recommend ? I tried to make some side projects but I have no idea to exploit... Bonus point if I can do it offline, during my train commute.

Try to rewrite projects you find on GitHub in a different programming language. I coded an alternative to GoAccess in Python and got plenty of stars.

argh I've found this network again! I forgot the name unfortunately and I vaguely remembered that this was from HN. I searched "text based social media" and boom. I'm back here again. Hello people, again !

Hello !
🏒 Lucian Marin
You can add LinkedIn now. I marked minus as safe. Your SoundCloud user doesn't seem to exist.
👨💻 Matthieu V.
thanks for the quick fix and check !
🏒 Lucian Marin
If you want to add other social networks to your profile, you can do it from Options > Social.
👨💻 Matthieu V.
Thanks ! I did not even see the "tabs" at the top (': By the way the LinkedIn handle checking is a bit aggressive, I cannot put mine. (here is the URL linkedin.com/in/ma...)
👨💻 Matthieu V.
Still wondering how we can set up multiple link in our profile, I only saw it in action on @lucian profile...

Y'all still here?

For what I can stay, I visit daily, I'm more a reader than a speaker (:

I am thinking of starting a personal blog, any suggestions?

if you're willing to build it yourself, I can recommend eleventy 11ty.dev
💬 Subreply
Autumn has come with its goodies. Reply bangs lets you refer a reply and author gets the mention. Bang replies by using ! in front of base-36 identifier. Spotify and YouTube social links were added. Unique name handles across the network allows you to set new emoji status every time you feel like it. Top left logo is your emoji status.
