Hey devs! Feeling happy you don't use PHP? Updated node already? Are you bored you've missed all the excitement? TAILSCALE HAS YOUR BACK *based on our current assessment, we're not recommending that everyone disable Tailscale SSH*
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. A 10k Sinatra controller, monkey patched abandoned ORM projects, JRuby. All those moments will be lost in time as AI rewrites them.
I once inherited a python system that handled about $100m in ARR. It was a single Django class that was 25k lines long and had zero tests or docs that always called out to MySQL and postgres via fork+exec rather than actually using those client libraries

Apparently GitHub uses Tailscale somewhat
Tailscale at GitHub scale looks like 100+ Kubernetes clusters, 115K+ new devices a month, and more than a billion provisioning requests monthly. GitHub Security Engineer Bogdan Tanasie shows how they built for it at TailscaleUp 2026 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=boiZ...

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.
ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...
Having a strong opinion rn: host mounted code sandboxes are asking for trouble. I'm abandoning that feature on AgentIncus since I already have a path to get all of my tools I want into the sandbox: nvim, lazygit, etc. Eliminates a lot of work-arounds w/r/t setuid, accommodating docker (wants root)..
Fly's sidecar token injection system. Very cool project. github.com/superfly/tok...

Fascinating - TIL!
a very effective presentation of androgen insensitivity (& indirectly, non-cell-autonomy, a core principle in development & evolution of multicellularity) in many situations, the cells in your body get external signals that tell them who they are & what they do, rather than knowing it internally

We've come a long way over the last few months. Today we're offically launching Tailscale PAM (beta). I'm super happy with this beautiful integration, amazing team work! 🧡
Border0 + Tailscale is now Tailscale PAM. Now in beta, Tailscale PAM gives teams one place to manage connectivity and privileged access to databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, and internal apps. See what’s changing → buff.ly/Ik2YZPG
Tailscale's forthcoming Aperture+ looks very promising. Everybody and their mother seems to be launching their own agent sandbox/runner platform. A+ = BYO infra (includes your laptop) and make it as simple as logging into an app for access. Cheap, secure, sovereign. youtu.be/j3CNNXUc4KE?...

Been enjoying dbt - I chose it for a client project that required ongoing analytics work. It gave us a nice balance of features w/out having to rewrite our brains to a totally new paradigm: a light DSL over SQL with composable primitives, build time data validation, and a lot more. www.getdbt.com
Feeling the need for some maker inspiration, I picked up this the other day www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/313546... It's excellent, plus one, would recommend.

I'm looking for more Elixir consulting work, so I built a low-risk offer to reach new faces. Two weeks. One problem. $6,000 (discounted). One nagging thing: flaky tests, a stalled upgrade, a Sentry backlog. Know a team it'd suit? A share or intro would mean a lot. 🙏 #ElixirLang

Upgrade Rails immediately, kids, this is a big one. github.com/rails/rails/...
Over the past couple of years, I noticed a lot of devs (myself included) were pretty fuzzy about what people mean by "sandboxes" for agents and dev spaces. Recently, I had the idea to turn some of that research into a website for fun if not profit: sandboxicon.com
Nothing new under the sun and all that www.preprints.org/manuscript/2... Cognitive Offloading Is a Cognitive Universal We show how ecological niche construction...& the ability of LLMs to demonstrate fluent language use in the absence of extra-linguistic input all exemplify this offloading process
For better or worse, the kind of things I think about while hiking. Conversations, projects, and ideas rattle around in my head and I try to take a step back and think hard about funamentals. I enjoy nature and stuff too. chadfennell.com/lab/5-heavin...
