I think the only hope is that eventually they’ll run so many ‘inconclusive’ UBI trials that everyone will de facto be on UBI even though they won’t ever decide to implement it.

Okay, this isn't perhaps the spiciest of takes, but I wrote about using comments vs using variable names: jonathan-frere.com/posts/names-...

Found a really informative article about Explicit Resource Management in JavaScript by @jonathan-frere.com Relevant proposal (currently at stage 3): github.com/tc39/proposa... jonathan-frere.com/posts/dispos...

I gave a talk on #jj-vcs yesterday and a lot of the discussions afterwards kept on coming back to this: being able to share changes, and not just have them localised to the user's repo. Really exciting to see this happening!

Do you need match fallthrough in your Rust code? Do you want some cursed code? Labelled breaks are what you need! huonw.github.io/blog/2025/03...

With the last blog post, I also finally updated the design of my website using utopia.fyi that @clagnut.com showed off at c't <webdev> last year. I'm mostly in the "I know it looks bad, but I don't know how to make it look better" camp for design, so tools like that are a lifeline!
