Block out these dates for a nationwide blackout! Nov 25th - Dec 2nd. www.blackoutthesystem.com

JavaScript is to TypeScript as "Coke" is to soda (when in Texas) I will not explain further

today I told a friend "I miss JavaScript" and meant it I am not okay

I feel compelled to once again shout in the void that dynamically typed languages -- even strongly typed ones -- are extremely poopy and confusing to work with

JavaScript wasn't always the cool kid on the block 😎 @anniesexton.com will share its superhero origin story about how a lil 10-day hackathon became the cornerstone of modern web dev. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl3X... Subscribe to get notified when we ship more videos from #CascadiaJS 2025! 📺

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

Please someone save me from the war zone that is Portland Oregon. We are ravaged by used bookstores, kombucha, and walkable neighborhoods. Absolute nightmare.

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry.

Fourth trip to the emergency room for Arlo! My life is a joy

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

@anniesexton.com : “We like to pretend that certain words are concrete things and they just are not.” This episode is out next Tuesday and it was AWESOME talking with Annie! I learned so much and can't wait to share it 🙌 (and hang out with her next week at #CascadiaJS 👀)

Really looking forward to this one. Had the opportunity to work with @anniesexton.com when she was in @piepdx.com.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
