PLURIBUS makes a case for humanity, but also for humans making things. It’s the most anti-AI piece of art I’ve seen.

Reading up on the latest React exploit and holy shit this is really bad. Catastrophically bad. If you’re using React and RSC start by upgrading yesterday and then reconsider if this is a feature you want to immediately invest.

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

Wrote out some thoughts from year one of running a DevEx team jonathanyeong.com/writing/less...

look I made a thing ok and i am not proud of it

An unnecessary technology adoption meme for the #atproto folks

Everyone on my feed is building with ATProto these days. I'm eventually going to have to dive in and learn more, because everyone appears to be having a fun time doing so, too!

My favorite part about chili is that everyone who has a recipe has their own set of opinions and little bag of tricks that always sparks a conversation. After years of tinkering, my chili recipe has finally reached a place that I am super pleased with!

Part of me wants to be more active on social media (more in terms of the social aspect), but a larger part of me wants to be off my phone more often and more present. I think the word I’m settling on is “intentionality”. To help with that I picked up a Brick on Black Friday. Excited to try it out!

Today was the first day I heard any Christmas music this year. With our next one due within 2 weeks, we made an early trip for our son to see Santa. Guess what the first song I heard in the background was?

There's a hope that non-deterministic flows will necessitate even more scrutiny, validation, and strong engineering practices. In practice, only the most mature organizations that spend as much time on technical initiatives as new features can accomplish this. In reality, it's mostly a pipe dream.

I absolutely love cooking on Thanksgiving (I did the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and maple bacon Brussels sprouts)! However, now that the food has been cooked and eaten, I am beyond stuffed and just want to curl in a ball and sleep.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

I am usually exhausted after a long day of work and family time. While I’d like to work on personal projects, I don’t always have the energy. Lately, however, I’ve started the routine of spending at least 20-30mins doing one small commit. The progress is glacial, but it still feels like progress!

This is the best advertisement for the mobile Web ever! www.instagram.com/reel/DRZAR8e... This will bring a tear to the eye of @infrequently.org, and @brucelawson.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy

This is one of my favorite bits of advice that I follow all the time. Writing code, throwing it away, and then writing again allows you to understand how all the different parts will play together and ultimately build the right thing the second time.

Audiobooks are great for when I’m on a run or driving and need something to occupy my mind. But in that context, they don’t provide the opportunity to stop and reflectively think. As a result, too often they function as mindless information dumps.

Irony isn’t me listening to Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism on my iPhone in audiobook version, but posting on social media that I did.

Well damn that was exhausting. I’m working on increasing my weekly mileage and just finished my longest run in nearly a decade!

why would i hate people for being of a different race, ethnicity, sexuality or gender than me when i can instead hate SHITTY SOFTWARE and the LAZY SHITASSES WHO MAKE IT

Hey, all. Two weeks ago, I got the unfortunate news that my role was being terminated as part of a workforce reduction. I wrote about what I'm looking for in my next role, and I'd appreciate a signal boost. charlesvillard.co/blog/ready-f...

Reducing JavaScript is good. Increasing core web vitals is great. I'm a big advocate of both! However, simplifying performance to a couple key metrics can help you lose focus on the real goal: improving how a user interacts with your site. The last 5 mins of @rich-harris.dev talk are great!

So many people are in search of a process when what they really need is a routine

Legitimately funny too. Was definitely laughing out loud at the end of the third episode

The larger the company, the more likely you are to find engineers who are very good at completing mostly repetitive tasks in their predefined frameworks and tightly integrated dev environments. Fewer excel at actually thinking and solving cross cutting problems.

I revamped my website. jocelyn.dev It's very cute. That is all.

My sons been obsessed with the Lion King recently. But only the first 15-20mins and then he wants to restart it. So I’ve seen the beginning of the movie more times than I can count. And let me tell you “Circle of Life” goes way harder than you would expect from an animated movie. A perfect intro!

I never fully bought into the existing solutions of micro frontends. But I never heard of web fragments until yesterday. I still need to play around with them, but this demo on @ryansolid.bsky.social's stream from @igor.dev and @anfibiacreativa.bsky.social was one of the coolest things I've seen!

I’m curious to see how this would work, but I’m definitely intrigued

I am forever grateful I learned to read via phonics and constantly referring to a dictionary. Seeing that others failed to learn due to flawed methods is infuriating.

I think my worldview on building software starts with three axioms: be curious, be pragmatic, have empathy for your users

I just got around to watching @scott.hanselman.com Ted Talk and have been thinking about the disappearing third space and AI’s role in accelerating it further. So yeah, I completely agree about the desire, want, and need for more real community.

The tragic reality of being a parent: all of your precious little free time comes when you are too tired to do anything with it.

Ok, Pluribus, you have my attention 👀

“I wish we wouldn’t tell people to follow their passion. I wish we’d tell them to follow their curiosity.” — Astrid Bin

My favorite quote from Chris in this episode: “I believe in the power of programmers. I believe in the human potential of people that want to create things. And that’s fundamentally why I love software is that you can create anything that you can imagine.”

This is a super important unlock that has helped me progress in my career!

If you try to communicate with people like you do with an LLM (or use an LLM on your behalf, which, ugh, is happening more and more frequently), I know for a fact you're bad with people.

So looks like I’m on the job hunt again😅 Right now, I’m looking for contract/pt work since I have another really huge “project” in the works right now🤭 If you know of any contract/pt roles in dev marketing, technical writing, or dev education, please send them my way! Please repost and boost!💜💜

I ran my first race today in many years. It was a 10k out and back over the Ben Franklin Bridge and along the Camden waterfront. I gave an all out effort and surpassed what I thought was possible for myself. Super happy with the result! #DevsWhoRun

Happy Halloween and Go Birds!

I really like the idea in software of attempting to fix the environment and not the people, because people are the product of the environment. With that mindset, when someone fails to meet expectations, my first thought is what are the processes that led to this result and how can they be improved.

“Peak toilet productivity”

The estimated cost of legacy JavaScript = 37,000,000 trees. @inesakrap.bsky.social at #perfnow

Next day homemade chili verde is one of the finer things in life (even if it doesn’t aesthetically photograph well)

I’m not the first person to say this and won’t be the last, but Bluey is the perfect kids TV show. I find myself laughing and being more engaged than my son and nephew whenever it’s on.

quick (re)intro: I'm Jason, I make tv for developers at @codetv.dev & I love teaming up with devtools companies and individual devs to make unique, memorable projects - custom video - event installations - devrel / marketing strategy & campaigns I want to work with you! details: jason.energy/links

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."
