Linear sent me down a local-first rabbit hole | Bytemash

A deep dive into local-first architecture, triggered by wondering why Linear feels so fast. Looking at the technical implementation, exploring tools like Jazz and Electric SQL, and explaining why my next app might not need API endpoints.

Some great points! I'd also add the suggestion of reading: Staff Engineer (Will Larson), The Staff Engineer's Path (Tanya Reilly) and The Manager's Path (Camille Fournier)

And also add that it's okay to decide to not be a manager after trying it out for a bit 💪

So You're A Manager Now.

Advice for first-time managers from someone who learned it the hard way, cleaned it up, and passed it on.

Game Genie Retrospective: The Best NES Accessory Ever Was Unlicensed

For an unlicensed game accessory, the Game Genie sure casts a long shadow. It reshaped the games we already owned—and had a profound effect on copyright law.

There oughta be a bullet time video booth.

For my cousin’s wedding I did not make a photo booth but a video booth. - With an array of DSLRs to create a bullet time effect. Click the image to see the video on youtube.com. Since this is a very visual project, you should really watch the video. This blog post contains the same info with more details, but those details are probably only relevant if you really want to recreate this project, which is not an easy thing to do.

ambient.garden is an experiment that started with the question: can a composition be organized in space rather than time? Can it be experienced in space by the listener? To explore this concept, all the sounds and graphics were entirely generated from open source code. The sounds of ambient.garden were assembled and grown into a music album, A Walk Through the Ambient Garden, also open source.

Awesome 🙌

Snow emulates classic (Motorola 680x0-based) Macintosh computers. It features a graphical user interface to operate the emulated machine and provides extensive debugging capabilities. The aim of this project is to emulate the Macintosh on a hardware-level as much as possible, as opposed to emulators that patch the ROM or intercept system calls.

It currently emulates the Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512K, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Classic and Macintosh II.
