Never been a better time to get to know your dev tooling + infra inside and out. As the abstraction levels get higher, your job becomes designing the constraints (and enforcement mechanisms) not the code.
I was really hoping the second link would recurse 😂
I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.
with all the deskilling and gell-manning (etc) we're gonna get from automated thinking machines, now is the time for the 'tools for thought' crowd to make tools that help you think things through for yourself.
tools to do *more* hard thinking.
it should feel effortful. cherish that feeling.
a new tinylibs library arrives: tinyclip! 📋
we didn't want to pull in ~2MB to use the system clipboard, so @florian-lefebvre.dev and i paired on making this lighter alternative.
6.7KB, 0 dependencies - supports WSL/macos/linux/windows
Functionally should be the same! In practice, seeing lots of resources going towards papering over the worktree DX in pursuit of agent parallelism right now.
Probably worth solving, just doesn’t seem worth the DIY effort currently.
incredible! i only wish the stacking was more precarious 😂
worktrees are not worth the agony
just clone your repo to a few different directories
do less and everything works ootb (many such cases)
i saw the interactive xkcd on hackernews and decided to make it render a real npm graph
it uses webcontainers to `npm i {pkg}`, then renders the bricks based on the dep tree scaled by disk size
got the same this morning! 🙌 putting stats in the more info section seemed to help speed it up
pretty great strategy on their end—the goodwill from open source maintainers is definitely worth the $1200 credit
Starting to get the feeling that GitHub was maybe not designed to have every company productize a code review bot that hammers their API for every commit in every repo
all i want to do is play music, make art, eat good food, laugh with the people i love, be in nature, and build websites
300.
This is an action aimed at 300 people.
This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.
It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.
2000s: code is free (as in speech)
2010s: code is free (as in beer)
2020s: code is free (as in puppy)
Agree, the kind of tools that humans find annoying and overbearing are actually pretty great for AI workflows
load-bearing @xkcd.com
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
We just launched the Open Source Endowment, the first endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers, with $693,000 raised already.
The world depends on Open Source, but making our ecosystem sustainable is a complex task. I hope that, with community consultation, the Endowment can help 🙏

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Grateful on the daily for the many career bullets I have dodged by simply optimizing for my ability to openly say things like:
Fuck the “National Design Studio” and anyone who enables this fascist regime.

@discord.com open sourced their internal T&S rules engine with @roost.tools!
Osprey handles ~400 million actions per day in production at Discord. If you run a Discord-sized (or smaller!) platform, you can just… use their rules engine because it’s open source.

Thanks for following along :)
graph of programming languages by percent of programmers identifying as LGBTQ. Rust is way in the lead at a whopping 55% with the next highest being zig at 30%, followed by a smooth curve with haskell being at 28% and typescript being at 25%. more languages are listed but it is mostly uninteresting.
i love this graph
wake up babe new css units just dropped
Element-Scoped View Transitions are gonna be **SO GOOD**
There’s still some details to settle, but the main thing is there: run VTs on a subtree of the DOM, allowing parallel VTs.
And with `view-transition-scope` you can limit the scope of `view-transition-name` values, allowing VTs to be nested.
