When Rob Pike says "no" to AI contributions, the Go project keeps functioning. It has funded reviewers. When I say "no" to AI reviewing a PR on spf13/Afero, it just sits there. Those are very different kinds of "no." spf13.com/p/the-mainta...

Stop debating language features. Start measuring economic impact. 9 factors that reveal what your programming language actually costs across its full lifecycle, from authoring to hiring to security to AI. #EngineeringLeadership #DevOps spf13.com/p/the-9-fact...

Why do tech leaders burn millions on language choice? They think it's a tech debate. It's an identity crisis. In my new post, I explore the "invisible conversation" (ego vs. logic) and how to reframe it as an economic decision. #Leadership #Engineering #Tech spf13.com/p/the-hidden...

6 hour delay turned into a nice reunion @mewtru.com @jason.energy @marisamorby.com

It was hype hanging out with my creator friends @mewtru.com @misodope.bsky.social @anthonysistilli.bsky.social @ritacodes.bsky.social @shaundai.com @itsthatladydev.bsky.social Thank you all for making this “old guy” part of your crew.

Deeply inspired by conversations with @simonwillison.net @s.ly @johnlindquist.com @jason.energy @knowtheory.net and @pfrazee.com The best part of #GitHubUniverse is bringing together people from across the different ecosystems

Heading home inspired by #GitHubUniverse. I feel like the entire vibe can be summed up in this one slide by @martin.social The best developers never stop experimenting. Stay curious.

Did you go to GitHub Universe and get a sweet new badge to hack on? I created a Claude Code plugin you can download with bundled skills, commands, etc to streamline the dev process based on what I learned building some quick apps. Enjoy! github.com/johnlindqui...

Had an amazing time with friends new and old at #GitHubUniverse @ashley.dev @mewtru.com @t3.gg @shaundai.com @pfrazee.com @chicagoeverywhere.bsky.social @misodope.bsky.social

Loving the keynote from @martin.social at #GitHubUniverse live hacking a Furby.

What do NYC skyscrapers have to do with open source security? That's what I've been reflecting on since participating in the first-ever GitHub Secure Open Source Fund with Cobra & Viper. Last week I shared the news; this week I'm sharing the story. spf13.com/p/cobra-vipe...

Been playing a lot with Photoshop generative AI after watching very impressive videos. I'm not seeing anything close to the videos. It's occasionally magical, but very rarely. Usually it produces unusable results, at times laughably bad. What are others experiencing?

🤖 AI is amazing at accomplish tasks that are automatable. For the 1st time this includes tasks requiring extensive training like medical🩺, legal⚖️ & professional📊 which will be massively disruptive. True creativity cannot be automated and thus will always remain a necessity in our world.

Wow. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was a perfect movie.

I think it says a lot that people from privileged social groups are saying the invite system is elitist while people from marginalized groups are celebrating not being constantly harassed on social media for once

Super stoked for Guardians 3, but also a bit worried about the emotional rollercoaster it's likely to be 😢. How can we best prepare (emotionally) for seeing it and saying goodbye to these guardians we love.. any ideas @jamesgunn.bsky.social

Profile portability is the key promise, but is it here? This long read by the Firefox CTO is worth digging into if you’re as curious as I am. Next up is a deeper look at Zot protocol to contrast

We're hiring a Go dev! If you have experience with large-scale systems and are excited to make decentralized social go fast and scale up, we want to talk! https://blueskyweb.xyz/join/go-developer

Bluesky seems to be like another Twitter clone but AT Protocol isn’t. Here are some of the facts for what AT Protocol mean 🧵

Trying to figure out BlueSky. Is it better to keep the bsky.social handle or a dedicated domain? Dedicated domain is shorter, but then someone else could register the handle at bsky.social and create confusion.

BlueSky feels like Twitter circa 2010 (which is a really good thing). Just a simple well executed experience facilitating healthy discourse. 🎉
