Hello friends! Life update: after 1.5 years, I've decided it's time to move on from Bluesky and start the next chapter. Today's my last day! It has been an absolute honor and pleasure to work with such a talented, fun team on a critical mission. I'm so proud of them and excited to see what's next

Don't worry though, they got Tay Zonday!

update: I still hit this bug 10 times per day

There's a good book about this in general: Complexity by M Mitchell Waldrop All code is part of a random Cambrian explosion of complexity, and the outcomes we've experienced so far are just one way of doing things. Don't over index on what's come before or you'll be stuck with local maximums

A Dan Luu post getting flagged on lobsters tells you everything you need to know about the folks still hanging there

if you have a decent test suite, you should spin your CPUs at 100% and run it again. you will find so many bugs, it's absurd

A press release was published www.pingcap.com/trust-hub/se...

i just booted an old linux installation on an old workstation from like 10 years ago to turn in to a spare orb/CI runner, and holy shit how the fuck did I used to live like this?? the most cursed xfce plus i3 setup, unbelievable I was able to get anything done at all

Just FYI everyone not using AI at least at GLM 5.3 level to secure their systems already is basically fucked, and the aversion to this reality is making things catastrophically worse

ok once you self-host your orbs then amp has the juice, really been enjoying it so far

do u think it feels good for the rce when it gets patched?

Hey friends, I’m looking for my next gig - ideally something deep in a perf-sensitive stack, somewhere in Rust land. Would appreciate a boost!

If you're a railway customer, you need to jump on this immediately. "We strongly recommend that you immediately roll all environment variables, including any API keys, stored in Railway" blog.railway.com/p/security-d...

Oh gosh fulcrumsec.vg/pingcap/

I'm gonna be running these again in the future for sure, but they'll be harder and I expect more of candidates The point of the task is literally to see someone use and talk about computers. The point is not to fix all issues It's crazy how many SWEs don't know how computers work

The absolute gall of this release jfc

2026 be like "there's no moat" when there really are moats everywhere for those with the eyes to see

PHP_CEO in shambles, shareholders are revolting

never been so happy in my life to see the .aspx extension on my bank's website lmao

I, too, am $80B in debt in the form of warrant liability

nah the reason kubernetes is good now is because many hard working, smart people made it good k3s is great. Cilium is great. There's a mountain of helm charts that let you do basically anything you want, and it all is a virtuous cycle AND agents have also helped, but that's a side thing

this is great, next can someone rewrite llvm?

oh no

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

I'm also interested in figuring out how to do AI building outside my areas of expertise but I am unsure how other than reading a lot and actually gaining some expertise in an area 🤷

the projects I'm excited for are the ones where: 1. there is pre-existing domain expertise on the team 2. there is extensive testing and automation, much more than one would do by hand 3. there is high effort expended over a long period of time (months at least, not just a throwaway project)

LLMs have made me realize how shit and old my knowledge of css is

Been sitting on this draft for a very long time!

the google workspace <-> cloudflare dns integration is quite slick

Looking good! Needs even more up as right matches ever onward

look, we're sick of having to explain this: you can apply multiple business juices to a single business pipe

can observability fix your failing marriage? (yes)

the man made for bluesky

This is complete as of about 12:00 UTC today 😀
