Today, at a neighborhood trick-or-treat event, I saw a corgi named Wally dressed up like WALL-E.👏

Anything you want to see? Guidance you wish you had? Dream big and submit an issue to the repo! github.com/nunit/docs

He swore an oath to the Constitution

Fewer things are more frustrating to me (in a work context) than being forced to rely on sub-par / unreliable tooling to achieve an outcome. (This post sponsored by a proprietary build tool for a proprietary product that just broke several environments with zero logs.)

@chocolatey.org I'm seeing 503s on the CLI and the packages page, but nothing on the StatusPage. Anything going on?

I may just not be plugged in but I feel surprised I don't see it framed this way more. Maybe I should dust off the ol' blog..

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

There is a new asian/seafood buffet near our house and I regret to say it is *awesome*. This is going to be a problem.

Friday night is typically when administrations do the things they're proudest of, right?

Psst if you're returning an HTTP 5xx error but the error message is about validation findings on the input, you probably want that to be a 4xx error. #HowIsThisStillAThing

If you are developing and running a cloud-based product in production, in 2026, and you are unable to detect a major loss of functionality and communicate it clearly to consumers, you are unprofessional. Full stop.

Precisely this—the power attributed to technology makes it incredibly useful for laundering responsibility

Revisited my blog post series from 7 (?!) years ago today, I'm really happy with how well it's held up. Do you run interviews? You might find it useful. seankilleen.com/2019/09/bett...

Just dusted off a process I created and automated 2+ years ago, in about 10 minutes. Will save dozens of hours for the teammate using it. A nice win for a Friday. 🎉

They're not outsourcing the decisions so much as attempting to outsource the accountability. Innocent people will die because of this, and blame will be avoided, unless we ensure it's not.

CW: Alcohol I treated myself to a birthday present tonight: a scotch I'd been staring at for a long time but just couldn't justify. :) Balvenie Portwood 21. Absolutely *delightful*. Everything I personally could want in a scotch. An experience. 40, we'll get along just fine I think.

once again, this should be front-page news all over the world, the President of the USA just fabricated an entire story about himself

Ringing in a new decade today. A good reminder that we never get it back. Onward!

Thread numbering is a lovely, well-done feature. Thanks @bsky.app!

Another important post you should read from @masnick.com. TLDR: Age verification is bad. Longer TLDR: Avoid having your ID scanned for any reason. www.techdirt.com/2026/09/03/h...

Will be interesting to see who recovers 1Password's fumble. Looking like BitWarden will do well. Their devops tooling and kubernetes operator seem poised to make transition easier for businesses as well.

incredible work by 1PW leadership fucking up bad enough that a fight over Arch Linux for Racists escaped containment so completely that now Jamelle Bouie's telling 750k very online millennials, almost certainly the demographic most likely to pay for 1PW, to go cancel their 1PW subscription tonight

I was nominated for an award and today is the last day to vote! Help me win and go vote for The Handbasket!

Weirdly, in its price hike announcement FAQ to customers, @atlassian.bsky.social doesn't answer "hey, didn't you fire 10% of your staff for AI? Why didn't that prevent a price increase?"

Random thought: JDD - Joneses Driven Development. Where AI leaders make you think everyone is doing it, so you also try to do it, and the AI leaders get your money (a lot of it) Evolve things from your own context. Seek to improve from where you are. Gall's Law is still a thing.

Having laryngitis is not very compatible with being Dad to a 6yo. But I do have one more reason to be glad that he's a great reader!

This latest illness has been bonkers. 2 days of 102 degree fever / chills etc. and now... laryngitis? Weird.
