I do love doing these, but at least one community question will inevitably lead me to share something we didn’t intend to discuss publicly yet 🫣

A perfect example of how some corners of the FOSS world have lost the plot.

Supporting open-source doesn’t mean you’re entitled to everything we ever build, forever, for free.

When we create something new, we get to decide how it’s shared.

Calling a licence change a “rug pull” is moronic.

The code isn’t taken away, and previous versions remain under their original terms.

Whenever a developer uses that phrase, it’s hard not to roll my eyes.

The team at UXDivers always deliver the most incredible work!

Started in Sydney and worked my way up the coast to Brisbane.

Stopped along the way at various places, with the photo being from Port Stevens.

Waiting to fly home from my vacation, and have had an absolutely lovely time in Australia.

I hope it won’t be too long before I can pop back.

You could always add license keys to v4 👀

Once it arrives, make sure to download the Smart-ID app. It makes it much easier than messing about with the card reader.

Incredible achievement when you consider that we don’t have anyone focused on marketing.

This growth is primarily driven by word of mouth.

Turns out that creating a great solution beats any amount of ad-spend, conference stands or flashy videos.

Estonia is a great place to do business!

Good luck with whatever you’re creating.

Yesterday I started using Latex for some documents. It’s been ~18 years since I last used it 💀

I was surprised that the majority of the team had never used it. It’s an incredibly powerful way to author documents.

I would have figured that developers would love it.

Slacks idea of uptime and mine are very different.

- I couldn't search messages
- I couldn't send messages
- I couldn't sign in on my laptop
- All our integrations stopped working

They don't consider that an outage....🤷‍♂️

Always happy to call out entitled assholes.

I’ve zero patience for angry morons trying to create drama.

Improving our website for Accelerate!

Updating the 'getting started' page to direct folks to the best development experience.

The completely unbiased update ranks the development options from 'enlightened' to 'feral' 🤣

We absolutely adore @jetbrains.com Rider, and it might be rather obvious ❤️

I was playing with Mac Catalyst recently (using .NET technologies) to see how it performed compared to Avalonia in the classic LOLs per second test.

Holy hell, it's terrible.

Avalonia performed 6x better in average LOLs per second than one of the Mac Calayst-based solutions. 👀

I had a dream that I had a Vision Pro. Woke up thinking “I should buy a Vision Pro”.

I went and read some of the experiences of those that bought them. I think I’ll save the money 👀

So many report that they don’t use it anymore!

The more I use Blazor, the less I like it.

This evening's regret stems from the difficulty of saving a cookie. It works locally but fails in production.

I find myself using Javascript more and more, defeating the point of Blazor entirely.

The worst thing about the Wicked movie is that it's been almost a week, and I can't get the songs out of my head.

I'm reviewing CVs as we're hiring for next year.

I love it when candidates share personal details in their CVs.

I just saw one mention being married with a daughter. It won't affect their chances, but it adds a human touch that makes their application more memorable.

Thanks!

The success story is only possible thanks to the incredible work of the team 🙏

This was a post I've been wanting to write and publish since the end of Q1.

Very excited to see how things turn out in 2025.

Yesterday I went to a lovely Japanese restaurant in Milan, that had incredible theming.

Had to wait two months to get a reservation, but was totally worth it.

She’s a lovely cat, but she loves to shout during meetings.

I’ve been working to finish this year's community update blog post.

I’m looking forward to sharing how things have evolved at @avaloniaui.net.

We’re heading into 2025 with an incredible roadmap and in a strong position 🚀

I’ve just submitted my first refund request on Steam, and it’s for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The issues with MSFS 2024 make it unplayable. Genuinely can’t believe that it’s been released in the state it’s in.

No need to book. It’s in the first carriage. All you need is a valid ticket ❤️

Italian trains are next level ❤️

Enroute to have lunch with Steven (original creator of @avaloniaui.net) to discuss some important topics!

Spent the weekend in the mountains.

Feeling nice and relaxed, having avoided looking at anything work related.
