🎉 Here’s a new thing — I made a typeface last year called Chonk! It’s a heavy display sans that likes to take up space.

I’ve had fun setting it really big for things like these pulpy sci-fi paperback titles, but it’s surprisingly flexible. As long as what you want to say is loud.

Currently a minimal character set, but I didn’t want it to just gather dust. If I add more glyphs, I’ll pass updates along for free.

Like many developers I’m super excited about the Vision Pro. So today I am bringing my app @bridges as a native visionOS app 😊. If you save links for a weekly newsletter or a podcast you need Bridges.

Introducing VisiClock, a simple clock for Apple Vision Pro. It's under 3MB in size!

ok it has now been about a week and my apple goggles feedback is that there are so many parts of it that are janky but also i am deeply viscerally in love with this device.

it's reached the point where I'm starting to really love the jank because the jank means i get to watch how it comes together over the next couple years. a lot of the jank is in that people just have no idea how to make apps for this thing. it feels like early iphone and im excited to watch people figure this stuff out

I'm looking for a new job! 

👷‍♀️ I can build software for your business (mainly in Rust, but I pick up new things quickly), or help you make sense of your existing software. I’m familiar with networking (I run AS213185 to experiment with BGP, OSPF and such), railway open data, and a bit of embedded stuff too (schematic/PCB design in KiCad, embedded Rust).

✨ Recently, I've tracked London Underground trains (and given a talk about it), reverse-engineered UK rail tickets, and built some hardware to make LED panels work. I have a website at eta.st with more stuff, too!

🌐 I'm looking for hybrid jobs (not fully remote) in the UK, but I could be tempted away to the Netherlands or Germany for the right role. I'm also open to contracting and part-time projects!

✉️ Send me an email at [email protected] if you're interested (or want my CV)

Boosts appreciated! ❤️ #getfedihired

Recently I posted an ad to hire for a #php developer. I was able to fill that role, but I have dozens of well-qualified developers who DIDN'T get the gig who are still looking.

I'd like to pass them onto you for your shop.

If you're hiring for a PHP role, please reach out to me at [email protected] with your job descriptions and whether you're hiring in the US or Europe (or both!) I'd love to connect you.

Please boost for reach/visibility.
