The livestream from my talk at #guadec2025 is up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7F3... It'll be edited into individual talks later, but for now you can fast-forward to the second talk in the livestream. Slides: ptomato.name/talks/guadec...

I've been enjoying the talks at GUADEC 2025 and tomorrow I'll be on the stage myself, talking about what's new in JavaScript and TypeScript for GNOME development! (Sneak peek: in GNOME 49 we'll get Temporal 😄) Come see me live or follow along online at 10:10 CEST! events.gnome.org/event/259/co...

The recording of my talk about Temporal from JSNation last month is published! gitnation.com/contents/tem...

Ok, I've had whiskey and my flight is delayed, so... time for some unadvised unadulterated software eng and management advice (thread)

This is a good read on why monthly donations are more helpful for the GNOME Foundation than yearly or lump-sum donations. I've used GNOME for many years, and contributed to it for about half those years, and I'd love it if you'd like to join me there on the "Friends of GNOME" page

It has indeed been a difficult year for GNOME, financially. If you benefit from GNOME as a user, we really need your donation: donate.gnome.org

Yay for Temporal, web standard date management that doesn't suck. Talk by @ptomato.name. #JSNation

Yesterday I presented about #Temporal at #JSNation. In case you missed it, here are my slides! (with clickable links on the "learning more" page!) ptomato.name/talks/jsnati...

So grateful to see this work hit the world! Standards is an interesting process - I was the initial champion of this proposal, along with @b.trl.sn and @mattjohnsonpint.bsky.social. Since then @pipobscure.com , @jason-williams.co.uk, @ptomato.name and so many others have done more than we did.

Temporal is coming! ✨ @igalia.com and Bloomberg did a lot of work on this! So pleased to see it arriving! developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/j...

This weekend, several Igalians will be in Brussels for #FOSDEM 2025, which will take place on Feb 1st and 2nd. We will be giving talks covering different #OpenSource tech and topics and, as always, we are super excited to have hallway chats with everyone. 📜👇

I gave a remote talk at JSNation US in November, on Temporal, the modern way to handle dates and times in JS, coming soon to a JavaScript engine near you. Now the recording and transcript of that talk is published! gitnation.com/contents/tem...

Are you a developer who has a browser use-case for ShadowRealms? Does it solve a specific need for you that current technology (iframes) can't? If you answered yes and can share these with me, let's chat. (DMs are open). Please repost for visibility/reach. #WebDev
