so, uh, asking a for a friend: is using pulumi a good idea these days? i like the programming model a lot (and _really_ like the AWS CDK), but it’s strange how many *ex*-pulumi people i know of

claude, i assure you, i am probably one of the worst people to run this upsell on

i hit this issue in the last two weeks! i’m glad the oxide folks wrote this up

so this is how anthropic will get me to spend $200/month, huh

i think one of more surreal moments in the last few weeks was seeing @steveklabnik.com's announcement be featured by @quinnypig.com in Last Week in AWS. like, i started that jj startup! we're not even on AWS at the moment!

rust-analyzer now fully uses the new trait solver! 🎉🎉 rust-analyzer.github.io/thisweek/202...

TL;DR: I'm going to be leaving @oxide.computer next month, which I'm very sad about. But it's to join @ersc.io , which I'm very excited about!

I see a future in #jj-vcs: steveklabnik.com/writing/i-se...

the thing is, rust can have really fast compile times, but the pervasive use of macros and build scripts obscures that fact. impure proc macros and build scripts are the free parking of the rust ecosystem: benefiting the few at the cost of many

no kings, only queens

at this point, i think i prefer `go generate` over build dot rs scripts. the latter are too annoying to parallelize and i think codegen is rare enough that being able to run it as an explicit step is worth it for faster/more reliable IDEs

Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...

the “for you” feed has improved my enjoyment of this site a bunch, and i liked it a lot beforehand. i recommend (heh) trying it out. bsky.app/profile/did:...

these were my outfits at rustconf. while i like wearing clothes that make me feel good (random people around seattle complimented me!), there’s also a practical consideration: people recognize me before i recognize them

i gotta justify my expense report somehow!

question to folks more plugged into the space: why did tailwind take over things like styled-components?

i think i’ve come around to wanting a keyboard-less, touchscreen mac. if i’m traveling, i don’t want a physical keyboard because i’m mostly reading stuff, but if i’m at my desk, i have an external keyboard, trackpad, and monitor i dock at

hello, i made myself a job: ersc.io

somewhat relatedly: a few months back, i bought a 200 year old kimono on a lark and i have no idea what i should do with it other than pairing it with some westernwear (bolo tie, denim, chambray)

there might be some frontend folks who i know (or are somewhere in this website!) that might be interested in doing some #jj-vcs stuff!

We're hiring for a founding frontend engineer role! Come join us! We're remote! We're friendly! We would love to be told how we're bad at typescript! jobs.gusto.com/postings/eas...

I wrote about some Rust debuginfo tooling I've been working on recently:

personally I would be mildly ashamed if I didn't have professional enemies, because it would mean I was conspiring against the public instead.

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.

bari weiss should write a soft-focus profile of me over a lunch at jg melon; taking the Q shouldn’t be that onerous!

Imagine running "cargo update" without fear, knowing it could never break your #rustlang code. What would that look like, and what will it take? Find out in my #RustWeek talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUN5...

It's been really exciting collaborating with the rust-analyzer folks on salsa (which we use internally in ty)! A lot of the improvements end up making their way into both projects, I think salsa has a bright future ahead.

hey, lukas and i gave a talk about salsa in rust-analyzer and i think it’s a good time; check it out

If anyone knows (or is) a good frontend engineer interested in revision control, data visualization, and a well compensated role at a remote startup, I'd love to chat with them!

just realized that the place where i would've wanted effects in Rust the most (using `?` in combinators, in a function returning an `impl Iterator`) would've probably been better served by generators (e.g., gen/yield) anyways

i sometimes hate my neighborhood

this is a great blog post! i’m especially glad sean wrote about the importance of O(changes) vs. O(repo)

I wrote a blog post about monorepos and what you as a small group of engineers need to do to make one work in your organization: blog.swgillespie.me/posts/monore...

i want @predr.ag to call himself “mr. semver” and put a picture of his face on a physical disk of cargo-semver-checks
