Happy 35th Birthday WorldWideWeb – the first browser! On December 25, 1990, at CERN, a British physicist and internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee created the world's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb. Try the browser emulator worldwideweb.cern.ch/browser/ #InternetHistory

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Online on a weekend? You can grab access to my web components course for $25 today and tomorrow. Big ol’ discount. Use the code OCT25-26. (And as usual, if you need further accommodation, just use the email form and we’ll work it out.) scottjehl.com/learn/webcom...

Built-in HTTP proxies are now on v22 😇 (Going to update the version mentions in a WIP guide on using Node.js in enterprise network environments)

Very clever how we've effectively made AWS a single point of failure for most of the Internet.

Petition for a global agreement where all coffee shops paint their WiFi details on the ceiling.

messenger.abeto.co This is freaking insane. The level of polish necessary for this visual fidelity and it all runs flawlessly on mobile. Hats off.

Who's having conversations about how we can mitigate and reduce the ways in which "AI" is undermining labor markets? These are the conversations I want to hear and be a part of.

I would love it if all operating systems (mobile or otherwise) supported toggling system authentication (biometric/password) when opening an app on a per app basis. No need for most app developers to even implement anything, and this would be a huge security boost for everyone.

This October I'll be doing #October. Each day of the month I'll be living my life as normal and taking on no extra work. 🙌🏻

I have a free @cascadiajs.com ticket! 🎟️ I won this but am now volunteering, so I'd love to give it to a software engineer actively looking for their next role. The conference is this Thursday & Friday (Sept 18-19). If you can definitely make it, reply to this post! First to message gets it.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

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)

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Node.js has had support for running TypeScript directly since v22.6.0. I’ve been wondering what a minimal Node.js with TypeScript starter project might look like. Here’s my first shot at what I think might work for me. And it's my first blog post in over 2 years! simonplend.com/blog/a-node-...

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

After a few months taking a break from work, I'm looking for a job again.  Anyone hiring a software engineer with a penchant for low-level stuff?  I'm looking for something remote in the US (or, at the very least, something in the Seattle area). (Reskeet for reach? Thanks!)

Consistent layout makes websites easier to navigate and understand as it helps users learn what elements to expect and in what order. This is especially helpful to low vision users or blind users using a screen reader. It also helps those with cognitive and learning disabilities.

With the upcoming release of @expressjs.bsky.social v5 and promoting it to latest on npm, we needed to finalize some of our support and schedule plans. Would love feedback on this plan from the ecosystem so we can do better than we have in the past on keeping folks informed and aware of the plans.

no one makes normal runtimes anymore. after a 2.5hr film i emerge from the theatre with uneven gait, bleary & fraught, popcorn littering my shirt. unaware of the time of day, unaware even of the year, i take my neanderthal steps out of the theatre a wretched husk, a wastrel — i am the dog of mankind

Thinking of submitting to our CFP? Keep it in the @jsconf.bsky.social family and submit to JSConf US too. One move, two wins! 🤩 🚨Upcoming CFP deadlines: CascadiaJS - April 27 JSConf US - May 11

I'd love to see more people sharing what their workflows look like. I don't mean AI stuff (necessarily), but rather I want to see all the little tools, keybindings, scripts, apps, editor configs, and idiosyncrasies that make up the unique fingerprint of how you work. harper.blog/2025/02/16/m...

When people say that ‘AI’ is going to transform the tech industry, nobody talks about how embarrassing that transformation will be.

This video does such a good job saying what I have been trying to say about commercial AI. An AI can write a 10th grade lit essay, but the point of an essay assignment is not to produce an essay. The essay teaches critical thinking, research skills, etc. The effort is the point.
