They used to be called “jumpolines” until your mom got on one in the 70s.

Well don't I feel stupid

kinda obsessed with this owickstrom.github.io/the-monospac... (ht @tbeseda.com )

Wonder how much Shopify and GitHub revenue is directly attributable to Ruby Gems (if not 100% it's close!) Pretty absurd bad faith antics through that lens.

unsure if i have heartburn or its just analyzing these supply chain attack vectors

of COURSE the flakey test is on windows

not that it matters…but coldstart has not been an issue for literally years upon years with aws lambda and especially not for serving html. lol.

ALTERED BEAST

one can always find room for more ice cream (or a new synthesizer) it's uncanny really

Markdown always has me asking myself "is this really easier than HTML?" and then I discovered MDX which was clearly invented by somebody who just couldn't bring themselves to admit that HTML would have been fine.

Always been true and as css continues to subsume us use cases for interactivity always more true joeldare.com/why-im-writi...

Splitting IaC and application code between roles sounds great - until you try it with Serverless. With serverless, 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰. If developers don’t own their own IaC, you’re just adding friction.

Real devs fake the cloud first. Fight me 👊🏾

nothing stalls out the trough of disillusionment quite like a rate cut just wait !

I need a DC Comics/Star Trek crossover so Batman can meet some Klingons and learn to use a Bat'leth. And then he'll start calling it his Bat-Bat'leth.

maybe I just need an op-xy

"you are absolutely right" if the most succinct growth hack bias exploitation ever

good thing this system is federated/distributed amirite

some solid writing/thinking here; worthwhile ideas even if not everyone is ready to hear them

just hit the aws service quota request limit while requesting a service quota limit increase

Watching the US wonder what possible reason there could be for the massive, precipitous drop in numbers of tourists to the USA from Canada is absolutely the gift that keeps giving. “The weather? Exchange rates? Who can even say!” newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/08/14/n...

And here it is, my lil crochet version of T. ocellus from Alien: Earth 😊 Pretty much life size too, though I don't really know how many eyes it's supposed to have. I counted 7 tentacles and assumed same number of eyes. Though mine has 6 because I wanted to keep an even number 🤷‍♀️

I've been trying to give web components a real shot. I used to think the API 100% sucked but I've mostly come around on it. Thinking of them as "enhanced elements" rather than bespoke components has helped make their use-case click (thanks enhance.dev, great resources there @brianleroux.bsky.social)

absolutely bizarre how the software job market has been disrupted. volatility off the charts. only conclusion I have is your network is now everything. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Amzn beat earnings estimates by 27% (huge profits) so naturally stock is down 7%.

Remember when Adobe decided to go up against the hot up-and-coming design tool...Sketch? In fairness, at that time the wisdom was "everyone wants a native app". The popular opinion was, as it so often is, so completely wrong. Anyhow, congrats Figma. Always bet on the web!
