One of my pet peeves is shell scripts that set up your dev environment when you join a new company. They never work, and they’re opinionated. Like — sorry I don’t use nvm and asdf. And please don’t install go via brew! Agh, where are you dropping those random certs?

Writing CSS for my site that uses modern features only available in Chrome or Safari, but not both. Eventual consistency — eventually it’ll look right in one browser… right?

The industry standardized on USB-C on its own. The EC isn’t doing much aside from preventing future innovation. Innovation happens when someone can pull away from the pack and risk it on a new idea.

Might need to get a Mac mini just for this

Is the era of creating programming languages over? i.e. will we see anything new seriously take hold in the next decade?

Season finale!

TEAM MANOUSOS!

somehow made it to the top of hackernews with a blog post probably because it's interactive, and also logging sucks af

My baby has awarded “Toy of the Year” to:

I love my BOOX Palma — but man, why are their products so sloppy? It’s painfully clear it’s a cheap Android phone with an e-ink screen hacked on top. The software feels the same. Now it comes with this uhh, “Ai” chatbot app.

It's nearly two weeks til new year! Don't be that sucker editing all your footers at midnight. Set it automatically with the power of ✨AI✨

“Camera is the main workhorse of our sensor suite… Radar and LiDAR are critical to addressing the long tail of problem cases.” This is the way. I suspect by the end of the decade, Waymo will modestly scale back its LiDAR sensors; meanwhile, Tesla will add at least one.

There is a severe lack of Succession x Warner Bros memes

Why is this sheet in the Shortcuts app extra jello-y? I haven’t seen this anywhere else in the system lol.

Hot take: a lot of great work happened under Alan Dye… on iOS. I like Liquid Glass, the Dynamic Island, buttons with clear touch targets, and search bars at the bottom of the screen. Not to mention, the transition from “home button” to “home bar” was great. macOS is what suffered.

Unfortunate this happened just after the mammoth effort of iOS/macOS 26. See you in 2030 for the Lemay redesign, I guess! daringfireball.net/2025/12/bad_...

For some reason, my brain also expected the set to look like the 60s. Seeing a modern dude in this shot is really throwing me off.

A status update on the TypeScript rewrite TL;DR - if you haven't tried it already, you should!

My first merch drop ever. Handmade, tons of fun, and there’s only 128—going quickly too! Get yours now if you want one!

Struggling to avoid Pluribus spoilers please help

AI is so much more useful for reading, rather than writing code. I’m surprised so much tooling is focused on the latter. Engineers love writing code, that’s the fun part! Help me with the tedious part.

Until reading this, I definitely wasn’t aware. My Wi-Fi networks include my: employer, apartment complex, doctor’s office, library, favorite coffee shop, and the Airbnbs I stay at when traveling. Combined, it’s a comprehensive fingerprint. daringfireball.net/2025/11/appl...

@gruber.foo Cloudflare may have taken down your site today — but you’ll be pleased to know the CEO is a BBEdit user news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4597...

Is there a good iOS app that lets me keep a “junk drawer” of random screenshots and document photos, and also lets me search through them? Would love to keep this stuff out of my main photo library.

@tableplus.com trying NotePlus for the first time — is this mostly SwiftUI? It looks great btw

Love this!

It’s really cool to run a side project where people message me when it goes down. Like, real people are actually using it! I love it!

For some reason, it looks like the ebook edition of Things Become Other Things is $1.99 today. (Hardcover is also $17, which is the cheapest I've seen it; I still get the same royalties, so, you know, please, buy away 😂) amzn.to/4ntXoYW

Fantastic

Saw my first Ioniq 5 Waymo in downtown Austin and 😍😍😍, wish I got a pic!

Those benchmarks from @t3.gg revealed some interesting issues in Workers. Happy to say it's all fixed now, save for some lingering next.js-specific stuff we're continuing to work on. Thanks for the reproducible test cases, @t3.gg. Excessive details in blog post: blog.cloudflare.com/unpacking-cl...

On Halloween, Waymo should put skeletons in all the driver’s seats

New Dumbledore goes hard. John Lithgow was a great choice for this.

I’ve never understood applying via LinkedIn, or applying in bulk. I usually spend a few hours on an application, tailoring my resume/cover letter for the role. That method has been pretty fruitful for me.

Dear @cloudflare.social maybe it's time to start splitting up your OpenAPI spec 😅

Would love to run a PDS entirely on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2, but I’ll never find the time to try this lol

Codex + GPT5 is really helping me refactor a large React/TypeScript codebase. My strategy is to carefully refactor one component by hand, then ask Codex to do all the others in the same style. It’s working pretty well!

Next year’s iPhone Air should replace the USB-C port with a second speaker

I think I spotted a validation vehicle for Tesla’s Robotaxi service. This guy has been practicing turns & parking for at least 20 minutes now… pretty cool!

Starbucks WiFi is smart, but I'm still smarter

@marioguzman.bsky.social how do you feel about SwiftUI on the Mac? Do you think PDX Transit would be feasible without AppKit, or nah?

It never occurred to me to shoot RAW and use a LUT in Lightroom to get fantastic iPhone photos. Half the reason I bought a Fuji is to avoid the "smartphone look" which has too much sharpening. Tyler Stallman's review of the 17 Pro is great!
