Norvig's spell checker! norvig.com/spell-correct.… It's a short snippet instead of codebase, but the fact that it solves a problem others might take a codebase to solve is exactly why it's so important

Hi friends! I’m excited to share publicly what I’ve been up to. This is how PMs and designers can make simple changes to React apps themselves faster than waiting for engineering time:

JS runs in the browser, app layer (node.js), and db layer (postgres/mongo). JS isn't my favorite language, but being able to use only one and share code everywhere is killer.

a lot of #NoCode is really just no {syntax, command line, files, git}. None of those are *really* important about code. @replit is definitely pro-code, but throws out those ancient barriers to entry. I'd bet on their approach for the future.

I’m joining a crazy fast growing startup in NY! meetdandy.com is the kind of co I thought I’d have to move back to SF for. If you’re an eng in NY wishing for a homegrown hypergrowth company, DM for details

Weird pitch, but engineers should learn @sketch/@figmadesign. We talk a lot about designers learning to code, but inversely, as a coder being able to draw is a communication superpower. Instead of 3hrs coding just to find out I built the wrong thing, I can sketch it out in 3min

In a twist, prompt injecting is secretly the intended way to pass the interview, and what they’re screening for

Yes! Drop caps, images, and other figures in text documents CSS is an amazing text styling DSL, and absolutely TERRIBLE at anything else. Things it's not meant for, like, oh I don't know, UI layout.

Dandy has to have the highest concentration ever of compiler nerds on a fullstack eng team

Kubernetes is slightly cheaper in computer time, and way more expensive in engineer time, which is a tradeoff engineers will take all day

“REST” is too controversial; I’m going to say http/json from now on
