My quarterly open-source contributions report: penyaskito.com/articles/202...

I am very happy with passwords using @bitwarden.bsky.social on desktop & phone. I'm not interested in passkeys now, maybe I just haven't explored enough to get comfortable. I really dislike sites (Amazon, Intuit) that trigger passkey creation without me asking for it. Should I make the switch?

That's a wrap on #DrupalConChicago 2026 🙌 Four days. Three keynotes. 75+ sessions. Seven summits. A 25th anniversary gala. Thank you to everyone who who showed up and made it happen 💙 Congrats to April Sides (Aaron Winborn Award) and Nathan Haas (t-shirt design)! Photo: Curt Rochon

I'm delighted to announce that the State Software Collaborative, that Robin Carnahan and I started in 2020, is growing up and leaving its @beeckcenter.bsky.social nest— @csgovts.bsky.social is taking it on as a major new initiative, building and supporting shared intergovernmental software.

Excited to see everyone in Chicago at Drupalcon and the 25th anniversary party. I'm busting out a Michael Jordan jersey that was gifted to me 14 years ago in honor of my user ID. It all started in a Reddit thread www.reddit.com/r/drupal/com... #drupal @drupalcon.bsky.social @pionline.bsky.social

The wonderful folks at Osio Labs (behind Drupalize.me & other similar tools) are running a training for leadership in Open Source. I took this training about a year ago and found it to be enormously valuable. A great mix of reading, videos, and conversation. community.osiolabs.com/pages/leader...

“Nobody in their right mind would say, ‘Hey, a 41-y-old woman is going to have a shot at another Olympic medal in a speed and power sport. I want my children to know that people told their mom that it can’t happen and then she went for it anyways.” www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

I haven't posted anything about #Drupal core 11.3 yet because I haven't used it all that much. But… wow!!! 🚀 * Largest performance boost in 10 years. * Native htmx support * Significant decrease in lines of JavaScript * More OO hooks * Native content export www.drupal.org/blog/drupal-... ⚡🎉

The other day I listened to people at 2 different orgs talk about systems for gathering and processing data. It went on for a little while and then they both said their system was an Excel spreadsheet shared in O365. No shade: spreadsheets get a lot of stuff done. It made me think...

Happy spring, for those experiencing one! I did a little gardening this weekend, removing unwanted plants, trimming back some fruit trees, restacking these stone towers, thinking about great people who garden. Pretty good.

I uploaded a profile image of myself to my timesheet system. The filename was "><plaintext>.jpg. Now I'm trying to think of ways to explain to my boss why I named my profile like that if it breaks their ability to approve my timesheet. Suggestions welcomed.

I’m interested in this because it’s bikes, but this is also just a really good ground-level view of the cascading impact of these tariffs. www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-new...
