It's @workingdraft.de podcasting time! With @deadparrot.dev and Hans-Christian Otto we will, once and for all, figure out whether React is actually good or the worst technology since leaded gasoline 🥊

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

Billions dumped into this. Billions wasted. Meanwhile the cost of living crisis makes people's lives a living hell. This stuff makes me so mad.

Time to get used to the home office canteen ... sigh.

About time to have separate GitHub accounts for employer activities and personal activities. How did I do?

You should come to Dordrecht (NL) on Friday October 3 for 🌒 Fronteers Dark Mode. fronteersconf.org The speakers are wonderful, and I heard the MC is quite OK too.

Oh yeah, btw. I'm writing again www.oreilly.com/library/view...

Writing a new chapter in my upcoming book, and this sentence just slipped in: Be aware that Tailwind is neither educational nor a methodology. It's a company's free tier of their product. And all communication is centered around that.

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

#GOTOpodcast: @deadparrot.dev & ‪@sirpepe.bsky.social‬ share lessons from the TypeScript Cookbook: • Use type annotations only where they count • Skip enums when simpler options work • Know when classes help—or hurt 🎧 Listen: gotopia.tech/podcast

why do i have to allow Microsoft and its EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO partners the ability to randomly give me a colonoscopy at any and all hours of the day IT'S FUCKING SOLITAIRE

Ozzy 💔

Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, his family says

On to playing Final Fantasy VII OG on Steam, and the German version is 1:1 the same game I played in the late 90s, warts and all. The translation is rushed and abysmally poor. Some dialogue scenes are cut off, don't make any sense, or are simply weird.

Today I wrote about 300 lines of Rust featuring "unsafe" that I thought about quite carefully. Then I started adding safety comments. The act of needing to convincingly argue that something is true made me find and fix 3 bugs I had missed before. Safety comments exist for a reason!

It's a bit rich that AWS feels it can clearly communicate these things to LLMs when it's failed for twenty years to do so to customers.

I would love that! Also: Cross-Platform Dragon Quest VIII HD Remaster when? (This seems like such a low hanging fruit, I don‘t get why this hasn‘t happened yet)

Let's sell 50 tickets in 25 days! Who do you know that knows Rust (or has wanted to ever since they heard about it)

Btw. I'm talking about Vercel's reputation.

I'm looking to recruit talented senior engineers that have experience related to web performance monitoring and optimization. If that sounds like you—or someone you'd highly recommend—please send me a DM and I’ll share more details! The role is 100% remote and async-first.

I've since learned @futurism.com didn't properly credit @edzitron.com so here's his good piece that they stole from www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Hey. How much did you ruin your reputation with the OS community on a scale from 1 to ... this?

Gosh what could those forced no-choice AI upsells of your office products mean?

orgpad.info/blog/all-pro... imho, this post has some basis in truth: yes, in a literal sense, a programming language does not have a speed: an implementation of a language and a program in it has a speed but this completely misses that language semantics impact performance ceilings

The new @drubie.bsky.social video on Final Fantasy IX is out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a1j... Like all his videos, it's full of BTS insights and fantastic interpretations. Showing so well why Square was amongst the best storytellers. Great watch and also (Re 3:10:00) we love you too, Andrew!

"You have been fired?? By us?? Well, guess what! You can now use ✨our product✨ to..."

Can you point me to some great articles on web #frontend architecture? I'm not looking for anything specific, everything that YOU consider to be on topic and worth a read counts. Boosts appreciated 🤗

It's a real bummer when I see folks who *clearly* don't like Rust writing (multiple!) articles like "is rust ready for embedded? I tried it and still don't like it, so no". It's fine that people don't use tools they don't like! I just wish we had more people who DO USE Rust writing these articles.

My talk from this year’s local-first conf in Berlin is out now. 15 Years of Local First: A Best-Of Report from the Field: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x0k...

it feels important to keep saying: SPA as an app framework default (and not an opt-in feature) was a mistake

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

We have another opening at Mainmatter, this time for a *technical writer*. You'd be working directly with me on new Rust training material, blog posts and other kinds of technical long-form content. If you're interested, send your resume job AT mainmatter DOT com

oh no

Reminder: if you're looking for help with Rust, Embedded, or helping big computers talk to little computers: hit me up!

Let’s go!

Apple Music has year end wraps! Not as posh but just fine. And you can access your Replay of the year playlist anytime!

Moving off Spotify when they clashed with Neil Young was a good decision

Being at Mozilla a decade ago was eye opening in terms of what a superpower remote work can be for an org. RTO seems like a massive foot-shooting for the sake of short term stock price wins

First try! Still a lot to improve but I’m very happy with the results

Developers: We know the bundle is huge but we fingerprint it and cache it for a year. Developers: We release 17 times a day.
