You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...

As luck would have it, my and the family are vacationing in Copenhagen this week, which is the same week as highschool-equiv graduation and it's been an amazing and hilarious treat to witness the grads partying around the city the whole week. Today is the zenith of celebration: Studenterkørsel!

expired: having your AWS creds stolen and having a rogue actor run up a huge bill mining a crypto coin that can only be exchanged for tokens at those mammoth Japanese arcades.

tired: a static AWS key in your env vars that works for anyone who finds it 👀 wired: every app gets a short-lived identity and proves who it is to AWS, no key stored 🥷 new in Miren 0.10 → miren.dev/blog/workloa...

One of the best parts of the Danish Design Museum: same many simple, modern, and comfy places to sit!

The family and I have been in Sweden the last week and it’s always surprising when someone hears my accent and asks if I’m from England. (I have a flat American accent) It’s an honest reminder that languages are hard even when every Swede knows English w minimum of 1000% more than I know Swedish.

The real problem was how to ship a database that users shouldn’t even know exists.

Sweden, here we come!

Man, 007 First Light is such a great game. As a mostly single player gamer, I'm so excited for a bunch of new ones!

A little sunday baking

Maybe each guest gets their own porta-pottie? That is absolutely I could see this administration demanding.

In a library, there are books old and new. And few feel older and less relevant than a book on using Twitter from 2009.

Can someone explain why people randomly tag me on ancient GitHub issues? It's always in an org I used to be in, I assume that it's some GitHub autocomplete thing that the person is just picking the random folks GitHub suggests? Please help.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

So it turns out the Agile stuff we all got tired of hearing about is actually the playbook for working with AI agents. I'm as surprised as you are. miren.dev/blog/agile-in-the-age-of-ai

Puma 8.0 "Into The Arena" has been released! 1. Framework/lib authors can move threads into a special "high IO" pool 2. single/cluster DSL hooks for easier config 3. API for adjusting threadpool size at runtime (who would want to that? stay tuned...)

You love to see it. Fiber finally rolled out to my house!

The OJ verdict

After seeing “Project Hail Mary” I really hope we get to see a @nealstephenson.bsky.social’s “Seveneves” adaptation soon. Fan casting: Sterling K Brown as Doc

finally atoning for my past sins (and if you're wondering why the @miren.dev org delete modal says "or org ID" - this is why)

I strongly believe that honest assessment is the best way to build trust, and I hope folks feel that the comparisons reflect that.

"I believe I ordered the LARGE cappuccino."

We're so excited to roll this out, making it that much easier to launch your apps on a Miren cluster. Now you truly only need a public IP and a linux VM and we'll provide everything else. 💫
