Margaret Hamilton actually coined the term "software engineer" IIRC. Rest in peace

Omg I love this, I wrote a very similar blog post last week! I would love to connect and chat @jsomers. Where can I message you?

I wrote up a detailed breakdown of a small home server I’ve been running on a Raspberry Pi (~3W power draw, about $1/month).
It started as a way to automate a weekly dance newsletter, but turned into a full setup:
- scraping pipeline (browser-based, runs on cron) - remote dev from my phone using Claude Code - private networking via Tailscale (no public-facing IP) - Django backend + Telegram bot for publishing
One unexpected benefit: scraping from a residential IP has been much more reliable than using a VPS.
I tried to focus on the tradeoffs and why I chose each piece, not just the tools.
Hope it gives some inspiration and/or you can share your own home server setups: https://bhave.sh/how-cheap-agent-dev-server/

Hi hackers, my friends recently asked me to make a tutorial showing how to set up their phone with adblockers and dark mode. So I did! Hope it helps you browse the web more calmly. Below I copied my youtube blurb so you know what the video is about (pls don't mind the overly compelling/engaging text copy).
Take control of your iPhone and stop letting websites overload your brain. In this short video, I show you 3 free iPhone hacks that instantly make web browsing calmer, cleaner, and less distracting.
You’ll learn: • How to install a powerful Safari ad blocker • How to watch YouTube ad-free • How to force dark mode on every website to protect your sleep and avoid melatonin disruption at night

Hi hackers, I made a tutorial and video on 2 different ways (GUI and CLI) of installing MicroPython on an ESP32. Hope it's helpful to those of you who want to try out hardware/embedded projects while leveraging your Python skills (and not having to learn Arduino or C/C++). Feel free to me ask any questions/clarifications here if you'd like :)

One important aspect missing is tactical feedback. The mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen all provide that but Vision Pro doesn’t. We have evolved several nervous system sensors (touch, pressure, temperature) for this and it is just as “human” as spatial reasoning and hand manipulation of objects

I totally agree with the “undemanding Canadians” view…so true! I moved here 12 years ago from Dubai and the demands/standards of business and service are way lower here. Pros are that it’s laid back and chill, cons are that we are unlikely to lead and innovate because we are satisfied with the status quo

My mind is so friggin blown, github will run arbitrary cron jobs for you?! Can't believe other services make you pay for that.
