I was asked to speak about parenthood in tech, and it's... very hard to do. So here's a brief attempt at some words. youtu.be/oOTuz3UUn1o

nolanlawson.com/2026/02/07/w... - thanks @cassidoo.co for sending me this one from @nolanlawson.com that perfectly sums up my feeling right now. Tempted to go write this out on some ancient looking piece of fabric in cursive and hang it on the wall!

I really liked reading this post by @cassidoo.co cassidoo.co/post/good-br... Especially the quote: “Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert, Dune

Now that the Superb Owl day is finished, we can get back to what we all really want to do: read fun tech newsletters 🏈 (the latest issue of mine is out now!) cassidoo.co/newsletter/

This week @splatterjacket.bsky.social was featured in @cassidoo.co ‘s excellent newsletter. The newsletter is a wonderful mix of links to tech and non tech interesting things, a job interview question, and a joke. I can’t thank Cassidy enough. Subscribe here… cassidoo.co/newsletter/

corner-shape is one of those things where when you first see it, it's like "oh cool, I can make a scoop!" It's something new, which is fun, but it can be hard to think of good use cases. But, as @cassidoo.co looks at here, it's going to open up a lot of possibilities 🙂 cassidoo.co/post/css-cor...

Happy February! First newsletter issue of this perfect month (that's a reference to the practice coding question 👀) is out! cassidoo.co/newsletter

We hear the questions constantly: Does AI actually help, or is it just hype? 🤔 So @cassidoo.co dug into the feedback to find out what developers really use AI for, and where it makes the biggest difference in their work. Here's what she discovered. ⬇️

I am devastated to learn in 2026 that PowerShell and Windows PowerShell are two different products

Happy February! First newsletter issue of this perfect month (that's a reference to the practice coding question 👀) is out! cassidoo.co/newsletter

In "doing things that don't scale" news, I noticed that my newsletter open rate was down over the past few months to about 40-45%, and I tried a very manual thing to increase it: I asked for help?? Anyway, it worked, and now it's in the mid-50s again ✨ cassidoo.co/post/do-not-...

We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015 Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

How @cassidoo.co writes consistently for 8 years

Great demo of GitHub's new semantic search functionality for Issues. (It's in preview so you can get an early look!). Watch Cassidy walkthrough on how to use human language to search for the GitHub Issues you care about....

How does it feel for one to be seen? Well that's a bit philosophical for me to answer in a blog post, so just debate me in the replies. Instead I built upon a post from @cassidoo.co, with a tip and a prompt to have your website *seen* by generative search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

yesterday @cassidoo.co taught me how to use the Copilot CLI. we built a small API to let people vote on which of us is funnier (obviously me), then created a Twitch bot that used the API to let you all add votes live — pretty cool stuff happening here watch the episode: codetv.dev/series/learn...

Today at @github.com we're rolling out a new issues search in preview. In internal testing, the average list position has improved by 39% with the new semantic search in addition to returning more matching results! Check out this side-by-side comparison in this popular repo from Home Assistant:

The industry is learning a lot right now. From AI and @cassidoo.co

I made a little Pen to show the CSS corner-shape property! It's cool, I hadn't played with it before. My past self trying to make this happen with pseudo-elements is thrilled 😆 codepen.io/cassidoo/pen...

A friend of my cousin who I mentioned here was taken by ICE today. It's incredibly scary. I am so sad and angry and feel helpless.

Great read. I’ll have to put several of these into action.

I wrote about how I increased my visibility/improved getting shared more often in LLMs and AI tools! TL;DR: I asked why I *wasn't* recommended, and it worked really well. cassidoo.co/post/ai-llm-...
