if you wanna be a good trans ally, hire us to good jobs we are way more likely to face financial insecurity, make 60 cents on the dollar compared to our cis counterparts, and a lot of us are *insanely* talented

Looking for full-time, remote senior/staff or tech lead level work. TypeScript is my strongest suit, but I'm a flexible polyglot. Boosts for visibility appreciated!

Still looking for a remote job. Senior/staff-level engineer or some sort of technical leadership role. TypeScript is my bread & butter but am a polyglot and willing to be flexible.

The recording of my talk from Software Should Work is now up. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BXu...

Flycheck 38 is out with several major improvements (built-in Eglot support, native LSP client, inline diagnostics, quick-fixes, and project-wide diagnostics)! You can read all about it here emacsredux.com/blog/2026/07... #Emacs

I am delighted to announce that after 5 years of work, 15 early releases, 50,000 words written, and 100,000 more deleted, *Logic for Programmers* is now complete and available in print! Blog post announcement: www.hillelwayne.com/post/lfp/ Website: logicforprogrammers.com

pagedout.institute Paged Out! is a free technical magazine about programming, hacking, security hacking, retro computers, modern computers, electronics, demoscene, and other similar topics.

Still interviewing, very hopeful something works out soon (though happy to hear of any leads). As always, any extra help is appreciated.

I had the honor of giving a keynote at the International Conference on Machine Learning last week. I addressed the widespread anxiety about how we should adapt as AI capabilities increase. I was thrilled by the talk’s reception, so I have made my slides available www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/tal...

Kitsune Tails is 35% off on Steam and itch and very queer! kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails Or help our queer studio survive into the future by getting all four of our games as a bundle for $17.99 on itch (itch.io/s/192877/sum...) or $18.75 on Steam (store.steampowered.com/bundle/15673...)

A small ask from the local-first community. I’m speaking at @localfirstconf.com in Berlin about @tiles.run, but this year the conference isn't able to cover speaker travel. I'm trying to raise $700 through Github Sponsors to cover my flight. Any amount helps. github.com/sponsors/til...

Still looking for a remote senior/staff-level SWE role that can provide health/vision/dental. I'm so good at what I do, and this job search dragging on is taking such a toll on me. Any help deeply appreciated.

It's finally PREORDER DAY for The Psychology of Software Teams!!!!! Which means you are just a few clicks away from your own personal guidebook to being more human in tech 🥰 www.drcathicks.com#book

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Still in need of a full-time remote senior/staff-level job! My strengths are TypeScript, Solidity, SQL, C#, and Swift. Decent with Rust. I'm a good team lead too and was once a CTO of a YC company. Boosts for visibility appreciated. Thanks SO much.

We’re doing a user study to find out how adding always-on live values alongside code effects writing and debugging experiences for functional programming. See reply for sign-up details

I was recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It's a "disease of chaos" that completely upturned my life for a couple months. I wrote a blog about it that goes into more detail and discusses prognosis. :-) burntsushi.net/encephalitis/

General reminder, as Google continues its lurch to search awfulness, that Kagi is legit brilliant. Its own AI features can be turned off. You can customise your datasets and weightings. Also SlopStop allows you to downweight, or filter out entirely, AI slop results. Legit worth the $10 a month.

HELP! #raylib maintainers needed! raylib has grown a lot in the last few years and it's impossible for me to maintain everything; there are some systems that I'd need some help from users with more experience than me! Thanks for your support! ❤️ github.com/raysan5/rayl...

Happy birthday @inkandswitch.com! Ink & Switch is now 10 years old, and is celebrating with a piece of interactive digital art on www.inkandswitch.com – have a play with it :)

2 Elixir consultants willing to do 3000 Euro each would cover one major sponsor for Goatmire. 10 of them would bankroll that whole budget post. Be kind of rad if it was funded by people working in the community. ROI is a questionmark. I'd be happy to make it a special thing. #elixirlang #goatmire

Lately, I've observed that engagement on all platforms have all but dried up. Is this a general phenomenon, or am I just writing for no-one? If you still read and get value out of my blog, please let me know. You could, for example, support it: blog.ploeh.dk/support

I've been working with @pvh.ca on a local-first task framework at @inkandswitch.com. It distributes computation across users' computers, keeps working while you're offline, and syncs results back to everyone when you reconnect. First lab note is up. www.inkandswitch.com/patchwork/no...

I'm very happy to announce that Programming Clojure, 4th edition on @pragprog.com is now available for both ebook and print orders! pragprog.com/titles/shclo...

For #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing my ongoing series of women in science through history. I’m now at 79. Here’s to the day a scientist’s sex is no longer remarkable in any field. Since last year I have added these 12 #linocut prints. 🧪🐡👩‍🔬🧮🔭🎢🔬

If you're a CS grad student in the US, I'll pay you a small fee to write for The Consensus. I'm especially looking for articles that compare the state of research to the state of what devs do in practice, because there are often interesting discrepancies. theconsensus.dev/contribute.h...

Nobody should have to sacrifice their identity by submitting selfies or personal documents in order to be an Android Developer.

Key to efficient learning is realizing how we ACTUALLY learn, not just what FEELS like learning. I wrote a Claude Skill for some friends to help them think about this and they've liked it -- see Principles for some directions you could explore github.com/DrCatHicks/l...

Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.

In September 2025 we launched a major update of Proton Mail for iOS and Android. Users will have seen performance and design updates, but under the hood this development involved a new and novel technology stack... https://proton.me/blog/next-generation-proton-mail-mobile-apps

Help me crowd-source the Python Index (I'll come up with a better name at some point…) • How easy does Python make it to write good code? • How hard does Python make it to write bad code? The ideal programming language scores (1, 1) Where would you place Python?

I've had confirmation from the British Library that they do indeed have copies of some letters between Ada Lovelace and Florence Nightingale, so now planning a trip into London to see those. If you can donate a fiver to help me continue ALD-related work, I'd be very grateful. And please share!

I was making a list of my favourite programming essays ("parse don't validate", etc.) and I realised I don't know of any that extol the virtues of immutable data structures. Does anyone know of one? Do I need to write one?

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy! If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from […]
