Friends in Europe, Like many around the globe, one of my course students recently has lost his job and is now looking for a new opportunity. ✨ Do you know any good companies in Belgium that are looking for a Frontend developer with a passion for UI/UI and Accessibility to connect him with?

Parklife!

The best way to avoid jetlag is to sit in the sunshine at your favourite local winebar am I doing it right?

Rich people are morally superior. Discuss.

Next week I get to chat with @azimman.bsky.social about Progressive delivery. He literally wrote the book on it. We'll talk about what progessive delivery is, how identity and authn fit into it, and more. I don't think signup is up yet, but it'll be at fusionauth.io/webinar eventually.

My explore tab on bluesky is all American sportsball. Nature is healing.

Invited backstage before the developer keynote at #googlecloudnext. It was fun to chat about how the sausage is made. Thanks to Richard Seroter and team for hosting us.

The Child, aged 17, witheringly asks "where did you hear that? ChatGPT?" when I've said something she thinks is stupid.

Good morning skitches!

brilliant post: "If you’ve been building systems with clear documentation, explicit context, and strong communication norms, AI amplifies that. If you’ve been deferring it, hoping tooling would eventually solve it, AI exposes that—faster and more visibly than anything before."

There's no call for how invested I got in this.

Infrastructure isn't supposed to turn a profit. The sewers aren't supposed to be profitable. The parks aren't supposed to be profitable. The postal service isn't supposed to be profitable. The "profit" is in how it enables everyone in society to do more.

Am I really supposed to be impressed that a robot can run a half marathon faster than a human? Seriously get the fuck out of here.

There is a reason I have hung out with this guy for a long time.

Canada named most positive leader on world stage “Canada is seen as the No. 1 world influencer for the 10th year in a row.”

Oof

No idea why this is so funny. I opened the alt text and it just says exactly what the meme says and I still laughed again.

Talking of power shifts... Ukraine clearly is holding some decent cards to play, and it's going to do so on its own terms.

A better world is possible. Love these tipping points.

Some amusing reporting by wired at the moment.

Indications of a power shift?

Good morning skitches !
