Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I think we might be overcompensating for the sins of Google's rainbow icon suite.

wearing dish gloves and washing my hands with dish soap is closest i'll ever come to being a mecha pilot

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

just realized i can use Notepad++ again now that I'm on Windows 🤩

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Last night, I wrote about @vmware.bsky.social Cloud Foundry, and #kubernetes companies / projects that shaped my career and the enterprise software landscape. Quite a few facts and people aren't mentioned - I wanted to keep it short. aligned.at/posts/vmware...

Is there a reason the 1Password Firefox extension is so much worse than Chrome's? Seems to ask for my password every single time, and doesn't integrate with Windows Hello (fingerprint/face unlock).

hot take: phone charging ports should be on the top

Suppose you’re progressive/left-ish (like me) & a white male techbro boomer (like me). Your social-media stream is going to be full of angry people attacking various aspects of what you are. So I wrote a piece about owning your privilege and sucking it up: www.tbray.org/ongoing/When...

About to get thrown out of here for obvious reasons

This project is 👨‍🍳💋🤌 - fixes every issue I have with html/template, works great with htmx.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna read the forbidden texts.

Wish there was a version of “being online” that was distinct from the “intimately knowing the transgressions of several billion strangers” version we have now.

Yahoo! Answers was so much better than Stack Overflow. I remember seeing someone explain Go as "a language for performing garbage collection." A bit reductive, but not wrong.
