Mikkel Malmberg: Everything

My mind is also starting to shift towards this.

New Aerospace 0.20 can print the current window’s layout mode.

I bet you didn’t consider the wurst case

Started a thing 5 years ago.

I’m trying to figure out how to use generative AI as a designer without feeling like shit.

The other day I used agents to convert a dollar field to a cents field.

What if AI is the best thing ever to happen to junior devs?

I wish I could justify using only Amp.

The only bad thing about Sketch is how impossible it is to google for shit and not hit tons of generic “sketch” stuff.

I wonder if, in this new agentic coding world, the old we can’t justify both iOS and Android apps is obsolete?

They call these feeds “For You” but it’s not for you.

Planning and finishing the project becomes the biggest task.

Incredible video on Reinforcement Learning.

Maybe if I get an MCP that’ll tell me to drop it: it’s marketing week

🔥 Agent quick tip: Review changes in vim.

🔥 Agent quick tip: Make an agent summarize a change from the outside in so the diff tells a story.

After using iPhone minis for 4-5 years, the battery in this new phone feels infinite.

Petition to change the spelling of default to deafult (because my fingers will not learn) Sign here ________________

Remember how much time we spent googling just a year or two ago and now we can just type “make my tmux.conf support italic and squiggly underlines” and it works

I’m seeing a trend: Some poor, misguided person passes on an AI generated answer without adding any direct human effort.

First, start with prompting for behaviour.

Just throwing it out there that “we” absolutely do not “need to go on the offense” against Codes of Conduct nor main branches.

Here’s a tip for your agentic coding: Don’t prompt for the thing you want, prompt for behaviour.

Whatever you think a coding agent “can’t do”, 99% chance it’s a skill issue.

it’s 2025 twitter is dead but more alive than ever girls are riding robot horses the heroes on the tl are zuck failing a demo and dhh inventing linux the villain is apple with too many border radii

I feel bad for Zuck and the Meta developers for their demos failing so now the normies can ridicule them – but the builder in me only has respect for daring to do live demos like that.

I’ve been feeling like blogging again.

defaults write com.apple.WindowManager EnableTilingByEdgeDrag -int 0; To enable it again: defaults write com.apple.WindowManager EnableTilingByEdgeDrag -int 1;

From my AMA: Hi Mikkel.

Converting the other direction is widely documented but going in the other direction required a little more digging.

It’s 2021 and you have a mechanical keyboard that’s configurable with VIA and you want one of your keys to be a hyper key.

For some reason, since upgrading to macOS Big Sur, my Do Not Disturb status seems to get stuck.

There’s no way round it– side projects come with some measure of responsibility.

Along with our house came a rather extensive garden.

It has always annoyed me when people proclaimed that they always wanted to learn to play the piano or any other skill as if it was ever too late.

I for one welcome Stripe’s new typechecker for Ruby.

I think side projects, software at least, are a lot like the Civilization games.

I for one miss the days of spending at least 30 minutes at every party going through the host’s CDs for the ones I knew, the ones I knew I wanted, and most of all; the ones I didn’t know I wanted.

It’s 2am.

Skip.life — The “Read it Later” service for people too busy to Read It Later I enjoy a good, steamy hot take as much as anyone, I just don’t always have the time right now.

It used to be that every project had its own .ruby_version file.

Preact is like React but smaller in size.

Hyper is great and even though I still cling to iTerm I sometimes try and shake things up by using Hyper for a few days. macOS has a feature where if you press a character like u and hold it, a popup menu appears that’ll let you pick out a ü instead.

If you’re using vim (you should) and vim-plug for plugins (you should) and you have some plugins locally (you might) but still want your setup to be portable (you should) then you might want to only load plugins locally if they exist (here’s how). functio…

A beautiful thing about jQuery was how you could sprinkle it on top of an already working site.

I recently moved my personal website to next.js because why not.

Apparently <c-h> sends <BS> to xterm256-screen terminals and your binding doesn’t work in Neovim.

As always, Rails has an easy, pluggable way to do this with unread but it isn’t too hard to add the same to your Phoenix app.

Here’s an idea for a web thing that you should make and afterwards figure out how to make money from.

If you, like me, are having fun with rebuilding a Rails app in Phoenix then you might also have to deal with User records made with devise.
