you paid for 2Gs but you’ll only need the EDGE

the rails on the iPhone air really are fingerprint magnets, jeez

I made an agent that unsubscribes you from spam. It controls a web browser to navigate an unsubscribe page. The agent runs JavaScript to perform actions on the page, and gets to see a screenshot after each action it takes. Blog post: blog.aqnichol.com/2025/09/20/u...

would be a great time to push an opt out of discover feature

maybe I should do some cable management this week

when i came back home there was a sticker on my door with an ad for a locksmith brother, you want to impress me, put it on the *inside* of the door

gonna start replying to the pig butchering texts with a link to nohello.net

damn the fluvid double up knocked me on my keister this year. just passed out on the couch for like 3 hours

something to note is that the reason this is possible is the perpetual limbo our immigration system keeps people in. the solution to this is not just limiting the power of the presidency, it is making it easier for people to become fully citizens, with all the protections that entails

i've been saying for years now that learning to code is simply learning the way a computer speaks - you're becoming multilingual as an engineer! excellent read on why open source principles would be beneficial for all product development 👏🏻 (i may be a bit biased about those, though 😆)

whoever at apple that decided to kill safari compact tabs mode, I just want to know who hurt you

putting the m in mRNA

ok bye MSP you were really pretty and seemed cool from what I saw of you. five stars!

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

awake, but at what cost?

msp kinda goated

Successful teams have: A learning culture (learning being celebrated), sense of agency, (belief that when you do something, a result will happen and not be blocked) self-efficacy (positive belief in yourself) & motivation, and sense of belonging, @grimalkina.bsky.social tells #Positconf2025

One of my core engineering beliefs is that if you are building something you should always be holistically looking at it vickiboykis.com/2025/09/09/w...

Visited the local bee seller to get some bees. Only needed 4, and they were £1 each. The bee seller counted them out for me. "One bee, two bee, three bee, four bee, five bee." "Wait, I only needed 4!" "Don't worry, that last one was a free-bee."

may I speak with the primary poster in your household?

Experimental Post: Wiggler Wednesday I have compiled a collection of obscure facts about Wiggler in Super Mario 64.

I keep observing how a bunch of large companies have *really* smart engineers doing *really* complex+challenging+interesting work and... no one knows about it outside. I only get to know about it by chance. Sometimes it's the PR policies stopping talk about this, but more often:

trying out the new macos container stuff and it seems pretty good...

walking into the board room and exclaiming "fuck it, we're doing _seven_ sigmas". the investors applaud.

i finally got around to watching severance s1 and boy that's a real "i know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards" sort of show huh

shit's real stupid out there folks.

pivoting already, guys?

oh damn rip Robert Redford

wait, _who’s_ on a hunger strike?

it is past time for the rails project and community to sever ties with dhh

awake, but at what cost?

I actually kinda like apples approach to the AI agent in xc26. it’s unobtrusive. there appears to be some extra docs that are getting fed in to help with out-of-set questions (new swift6 stuff).

"The jokes just write themselves!" - a comedian using ChatGPT

I have a weird question that maybe one of my followers has an answer to - my understanding is that YT Premium watch minutes pay out a ton more than non-premium minutes, so why don’t YT creators CTA their viewers to sub to premium? Why doesn’t google offer referral programs for it?

Last week at #o11yDaySFO, I presented "AI is like Chocolate (and Observability is like Strawberries)" explored how to use AI purposefully; not as a magic fix-all but as one ingredient in a well-designed system. My slides: drive.google.com/file/d/13Uu-... There were so many other inspiring talks!

i thought this raised a good point, although i do think maybe the answer is more specialization? does genai make this less problematic by reducing the barrier to entry because you could align a model specifically for a certain stack? www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-w...

it’s cfp time again! don’t want to travel to the US? can’t blame you! want to talk about observability? you should! at observability day eu, 2026! events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...

oh huh it works! this took way too fucking long to make work and i had to vibe out some extremely gnarly go AST parsers but i now can make a visual/form based config for a collector

guess you could say their reputation is on the rocks

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

for you feed (bsky.app/profile/did:...) remains actually good

i feel like you could get an ~80% accurate detector for vibe/genai code by doing static analysis around 'how much defensive programming over logical invariants exist'

“gui” really has an unpleasant mouthfeel when you say it

what would be a good name for decentralized bikeshedding. awaiting confirmations?

the mondays start coming and they don’t stop coming, huh
