Last night's NorfolkJS was incredible! Sebastian showed off a mind blowing ascii 2.5D engine he wrote. Our youngest presenter at 14! If you have suggestions for topics or workshops you want, send me a DM.

I’m glad I was able to attend AWS Community Day Midwest. Learned about Lambda (including the open-source Lambda Power Tuning), AI agents, telling your story, and praising Nicholas Cage. (Shout out to #100Devs and #CYC26, which were both mentioned in some sessions!)

The new Lambda MicroVMs are the kind of compute I've been abusing inside GitHub actions, isolated kernels executing user land code in a sandbox.

I'm a specialist in the final mile of automation. What is that you say? I can confidently copy paste environment variables into a web console.

Instead of giving agents Sisyphean loops, try gentle parenting. "We don't eat YAML, buddy. Let's talk about what happened."

@val.town is a nice place for javascript

Today's the day! www.sls.guru/events/webin... I'm kicking it off with a serverless ETL pipeline story, and Nic Cage, and hosting Wheel of Fortune, and a panel on AI security. Don't miss it!

Catch my next talk at @sceniccitysummit.com , thanks to sls.guru for supporting true community conferences and not just trade shows. This year, I'm focused on re-discovering fundamentals of software development. Wherever that road takes me, I hope you can join me. #praisecage

I'm still trying to get my head around megamerges, will have to read this a couple more times.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

A huge thank you to all the speakers at #CodeStock2026! You were all awesome and gave great seasons. @guy.dev @reverentgeek.com @freestylecoder.bsky.social @paulchinjr.bsky.social @housecor.com @qimata.bsky.social @thesoftwarementor.com

I should do an ethnography on the "manager stroll", when you see a group of 2 or 3 people clearly walking and talking about the business you're standing in. Like talking about the reason the cups are stacked in a particular way.

If anyone's afraid of missing on the AI hype. I'm giving 3 conference talks this year, and none of them are on AI, or even mention AI. We're doing alright just knowing stuff. Check me out this week at Codestock. www.codestock.org

i got trapped by the ai today, i stretched a bit further than i understood and trusted it too much. it still feels like programming.

When I finished school, the fastest way to learn how to launder money was going into finance. Anti-money laundering training told me exactly how it was done and what to look out for. Now, the fastest way for me to learn how to make trojans and spyware is developing agents.

In the Web Dev Challenge season 2 finale, the dev teams raced to build charming apps intended to connect people. Featuring @zeu.dev, @crutchcorn.dev, @tekgadgt.dev, Austin, @codingshaman.bsky.social, and Derek. Watch the full episode now: codetv.dev/series/web-d...

Thank you for so quickly trying out cssdaily.dev @cassidoo.co !!! youtu.be/3Uct3cQ77Xo

Watched March MadCSS and thought "what if we could do this every day?" So I built it. In a day. cssdaily.dev — a daily CSS challenge. Write CSS to match a target, get pixel-diffed in real-time. New challenge every morning. Scoring adapted from @wesbos.com and @tolin.ski's open-source SynHax.

renting a vm to lobster 24/7, so that you can hit a web api, so it can write nextjs code, that runs on a neighboring rack. the future is now.

Never thought commit messages would feel retro.

Do any of you have a real world take on the determinism of embedding models? Do they seem deterministic enough? Or do you not count on that?

tw: jump scare. when was the last time you updated your gravatar?

Be Love.

I don't think that we, as a culture, revere lasers enough.

I'm blaming the lobster bots as responsible for taking down github actions, dns gets a pass ... this time

I finally figured out why the holodeck sims were never contemporary, but set in the 20th century. It's so painfully obvious, that's the only stuff that was in public domain. Could you imagine Federation copyright laws?!

I fell for the humblebrag, but I worked really hard on it last year, and I have all my new friends to thank for it. Thanks again to sls.guru for sponsoring me. hashtag#praisecage

Surprisingly useful conference swag from @thisdotlabs.bsky.social , Pan pizza dough recipe from @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social , thanks @dthompsondev.bsky.social !!

This conference is my follow list IRL. It was really cool to see @swizec.com in person, talking about HTMX and TANSTACK. #cyc2025

The @commityourcode.bsky.social Pickleball event for Day[0] was a HUGE SUCCESS! We even had a pickleball pro guiding newer players with a group lesson! I guess you could say it was a... Smashing success 😂 pun absolutely intended! Also this shirt by Jake is actually amazing 😂😂😂

Ok, so I won't lose my job to AI, but I will lose it to someone with AI, but they will lose it to someone who can do it without AI. Am I AI?

We're thrilled to have Paul Chin Jr. (@paulchinjr.bsky.social), Senior Serverless Developer for Serverless Guru, presenting "Data Gone in 60 Seconds: A Serverless ETL Heist" at #AllThingsOpen! 2025.allthingsopen.org/sessions/dat...

It's coming up fast!
