Ezhik 2025-06-03 04:38:50 Is coding/programming/computering/beepbooping/funking of corn a hobby or a job to you? Or both? It's both for me and I'm increasingly having the two diverge. "Work" coding and "home" coding feel like two entirely different worlds.
Ezhik 2025-06-03 04:40:22 This one time I went to a tech meetup but it turned out to be a recruiting event in disguise - but I had the "fun" coding hat on and discovered that not that many people wearing "work" hats are interested in PowerBooks and coding Cocoa apps for Mac OS X Tiger.
Marek Rogalski 2025-06-04 06:14:41 Hobby developer here. Coding is like gardening to me. You can do it on a commercial farm, scale and optimize it. But you can also have a garden next to your house, a place where it's just nice to be in and which occasionally gives you some value back. There are people who maintain their gardens their whole life for almost no benefit. From a commercial perspective it's madness.

Let us know in the chat here or contact me directly.
Achille Lacoin 2025-06-03 09:23:25 I would love to demo github.com/pomdtr/tweety (especially the ways it allows you to access the chrome extension api from shell scripts), but since I participed two months ago I'm fine with letting someone else take the spot
Maikel van de Lisdonk 2025-06-03 10:11:55 I think that's totally fine! Your smallweb demo/presentation was very good, so looking forward to this one!
Achille Lacoin 2025-06-03 10:17:42 Ok let's do it then! Can I share the invite on my bsky account / discord server already?
