Woo hoo! fish 4.0.0 that contains the rust rewrite is finally out and stable! I have been using fish for a few weeks now and it’s really nice to not have to worry about 1000 Z shell plug-ins https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/4.0.0

Why Wasm is winning on the security front! thenewstack.io/the-feds-pus...

In early January, @thorstenhans.bsky.social joined the Chrome for Developers podcast to talk more about WebAssembly, Spin, StarlingMonkey (JS SDK), and more! We've written a blog about the episode that goes more in-depth: www.fermyon.com/blog/chrome-...

Spin and SpinKube, two projects @fermyon.com has been hard at work on for the last few years, are now officially in the @cncf.io! 🙌 www.fermyon.com/blog/spin-jo...

In a recent The New Stack article, B. Cameron Gain dives into the exciting improvements coming to Wasm, including the component model. @technosophos.bsky.social shares insights on how this model can elevate the binary format to new heights. Read more here: bit.ly/4aeeEMP

Microservices can be costly, but we can rewrite the design pattern to make them more efficient. This is where serverless functions can change things, as our CEO, @technosophos.bsky.social, points out in a Forbes article: bit.ly/4gN6vRw

I penned this "mild-mannered rage post" after a guy told me very bluntly that Wasm wasn't ready for production, but seemed to have no idea at all that Wasm has been around for years and is already deployed broadly into production systems. www.fermyon.com/blog/you-are...

Fermyon's Advent of Spin is already spinning. But it's not too late to join in on the fun! www.fermyon.com/blog/advent-...

Our team is getting festive with a seasonal coding challenge! #AdventOfSpin week 1 is already under way, with prizes up for grabs for the most creative approaches fermyon.com/blog/advent-...

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle. We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal. It's time to #FreeJavaScript. deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

I mentioned to a friend today that I sometimes use the phrase "movers and shakers" but don't know the origin. He pointed me to the poem, "Ode," a paean to artistry. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/54933/...

This is so so cool. The productivity gains and new workflows possible through this feature (both for app developers and platform engineers) are game changing!

Spin 3 is out! Component dependencies, factors, and awesome telemetry support are among the highlights. #wasmcon #wasm #webassembly www.fermyon.com/blog/introdu...

I can't control the world around me, but I can define the person I want to be, and how I contribute to making the world a better place. I'll spend my days doing that work with intentionality.

Check out my most recent article! 💡 Learn how to build Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs with #WebAssembly #Spin & #SpinKube www.fermyon.com/blog/wasm-jo...

I wrote a blog about running Wasm in lightweight #kubernetes distros. At #KubeCon we’re going to use K3S to demo some of this. It’s shocking how much WebAssembly you can pack on a small cluster. www.fermyon.com/blog/lightwe...

@fermyon.com gave me this comfy t-shirt for their Spin app Finicky Whiskers! So here is a picture of myself wearing it with my own finicky kitty Yennefer 😄 Thank you to @technosophos.bsky.social and Fermyon for the swag! (P.S. I set messages to allow all and would love to chat on Spin/tech!)
