If you're a nerd shopping for a WiFi device I found an excellent resource: www.wiisfi.com. (Wi Is Fi?) It's more detailed than you need, but I found their Recommendations section much more actionable than TheWireCutter saying "Buy one these three devices we tried 14 months ago, trust us." #wiisfi

Look ma, I'm on the YouTubes.

I just discovered Slack supports /me and /action from IRC. /me Goes to make a bunch of 3rd person jokes on Slack.

Dude where’s my Chartio.

I wish this was AI, but it’s just a poorly designed watch.

Today our GitHub Actions runner provider had a big outage. I was able to migrate us back to GitHub Hosted Runners, then a couple hours later migrate again to namespace.so. A stunning example of the power of platform APIs and the competitive ecosystems they can enable.

It’s 2025, yet it’s impossible to attach a personal note/comment to music on Spotify. 45 years since the post-it note came on the market and how is it still peak technology in the game of “why the fuck did I save this?”

You know what you can’t do in 2025 A.D.? Type “shutdown” in the Windows start menu to shutdown — that searches bing. Because of course it does.

Twitter, where clicking a "calendar.google.com" link can lead "Google Calendar" getting complete access to your account. Voiceover: In fact, it was not a "calendar.google.com" link nor was it a "Google Calendar" app.

I love one off data visualizations. I used to collect these when I worked at Chartio.

Whomever is operating nomit.dev / getnom.dev ([email protected]) sending AI slop emails to @zed.dev's open source contributors -- get fucked. If you won't put your name behind a project, maybe realize what you're doing isn't a "growth hack" it's something to ashamed of. Do. Better.

Maybe blameless post-mortems were a mistake.

These are stunning. I would love prints on my wall.

I’m in Utrecht Netherlands for Rust week, come by the Zed booth and say hi!

“No Feigning Surprise” is something think about all the time. Such a better way to be. jvns.ca/blog/2017/04...

New security question: what was your first IPv4 address? You’ll never guess and I’ll never forget.

My first rust ACP (API Change Proposal) was closed -- with the best possible outcome. 🏡 🎉 I was proposing a new API to replace the broken on windows and long-deprecated env::home_dir. But instead the Windows implementation was fixed and env::home_dir will be officially undeprecated in Rust 1.87.0!

It was really fun to chat with Mitchell about GhosTTY and nurturing sustainable open source communities on GitHub!

18F needed to be dissolved because they were lean, competent and incredibly impactful making every aspect of government they touched more efficient and humane.

Regex of the day: Links from a Markdown file: ``` ggrep -oP '\[[^\]]+\]\([^)]+\)' README.md ``` It requires GNU grep (`brew install grep` on macOS to get `ggrep`) as it uses -P (--perl-regexp) to get PCRE regex syntax and -o (--only-matching) prints matches instead of matching lines (the default).

coffee is for closers and marshmallows are for team players

Spent some this weekend working on PlayPaint for the first time in a while. Hoping to get some more improvements out in the near future. P.S. Lowered the price and put it on sale too. notpeter.itch.io/playpaint

Rejected @zeddotdev skeets: “DeepSeek API outages got you down? Zed now supports dedicated keys for cut/copy/paste so you can generate boilerplate like it’s 2002!”

Got an email with a bill for coinsurance for a Doctor’s visit ($126). The Mass General payment portal only accepts credit/debit cards. What a broken system where we let MC/VISA skim 3% on our health care expenses.

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Pour one out for the US Digital Service. This amazing team was founded during the Obama administration. They convinced some of the best and brightest minds in tech, to give up wealth and RSUs and free lattes, to dedicate their professional lives to service.♥️👍🏿 It just got renamed to DOGE.

Listening to Anthony Bourdain Kitchen Confidential audiobook and there are countless nuggets of wisdom mentioned in passing that could easily be the expanded from two passing sentences into full blown essays.

Look ma, I’m on the youtubes.

That Christmas vacation activity of grinding single player Mario Kart during the day so you can unlock levels, players and carts for multiplayer in the evening.

In my twenties, in the era before emojis, my most common signoff text was <3 or its sometimes intentional typo <# Today I compose more commit messages than romantic texts. I should sign these love notes to the future too. Fixed tests. <# #>

TIL: Spotify playback on my phone can be controlled via ⏪⏯️⏩ keyboard shortcuts on the mac. It's the simple things.

We can have nice things. But they can’t last forever. Love them before they go.

Second Zed release post on BlueSky had a really goofy video (that I made)
