Linear has a 30-minute weekly meeting called "Quality Wednesdays." I sat through one and WOW Devs show a quality or perf-related fix they did last week. It can be big, or small. We went through 17 issues, from massive backend performance wins, to this tiny one. Can you see it?

Trying to remember to take deep breaths as the world tumbles further into the dark times. #animation #ootd #deepbreath

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

this is literally how the US's dominance as a tech hub ends.

A "fun" issue my professional communities are dealing with recently is where to hold conferences, if non-US people can't safely enter the US, and foreigners in the US can't safely leave it. There is no good answer, and the equilibrium is having fewer foreigners AND conferences in the US.

I apologize now for how insufferably hyped up I'll be when TanStack Start releases—soon It's the most impressive web dev stack I've ever seen Everything you need, packaged into one cohesive, composable set of tools—like react-query integration Plus superb static typing It's genuinely next level

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

Anyone use a galaxy tab a9 for anything b4? We found a used one and are thinking of it being a kiddo tablet.

god i’m so impressed with button down just because of the existence of this page buttondown.com/alternatives i was looking at it because were opening a restaurant but prefer self hosted just because i can and it lowers monthly cost and they had a reco right there for me 🥹

I'm fuming mad that there are some who don't get that the Epstein story isn't just some effin side distraction. It's substantive. It's important & it shouldn't be sidelined or ignored. Women and girls don't often talk about it, but 1 in 5 women experience sexual abuse! That's 20% of women FFS!

Yay! It's the first Firefox release since I've joined the team, so let's take a look at some of the new developer-facing features in Firefox 142… 🧵

AUGUST 16, 2025

This is amazing, Google saying it doesn’t have enough resources to support a small feature in their web browser (that has been implemented for years). They’re asking for comments. And then they’re removing those from people upset that it will break stuff for them. github.com/whatwg/html/...

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity. It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

tsdown, the spiritual successor to tsup, is now part of the VoidZero family! 🎉 @sxzz.dev will be working on the library bundling solution based on @rolldown.rs, which serves as a foundation for Vite’s library mode. bsky.app/profile/sxzz...

Big news! I'm available for hire! If you have JavaScript/TypeScript you want written, and you have budget for an ambitious and highly skilled practitioner with over 20 years of experience doing that, including leading teams, communities, and execs, hit me up. izs.me (RT please)

I don’t know who needs this today, but here you go..

great question! definitely something we've talked about a lot on the team. 1. same origin restriction — anyone _can_ call a remote function (if they're a l33t haxx0r that knows curl, at least) but it's hard to trick someone else into calling one, with their cookies

If you've never seen the Japanese Super Metroid commercial then you have to see this absolute work for art right here!

Always remember

If you're interested in what tools software engineers actually use for AI coding, The Pragmatic Engineer 2025 survey looked into this. GitLab, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude and Gemini are the top 5, in order. There are exactly zero mentions of IBM. Full: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pragma...

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

Create a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without layout shift! How? Use a pseudo element with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px` Demo to play with: codepen.io/una/pen/gbaWdmy (Tip from dmytro on X, who I can't find on Bsky: x.com/pqoqubbw/sta...)
