we have a rare window of availability at @codetv.dev, so if you're looking to make something special that helps your company connect with devs, now is a very good time to get in touch. I love working with teams that have the courage to experiment & take big swings — if that's you, get into my inbox!

Really enjoyed this interview on The Vergecast with @daringfireball.bsky.social and @anildash.com about the history of Markdown.

Questions about Mythos: https://microblog.tomconneely.io/2026/04/12/questions-about-mythos.html I’ve heard a lot about Mythos over the past few days. This article raises some questions about Anthropic’s claims. These claims could be legitimate but it wouldn’t be the first time an AI company mad...

When I saw this originally, I thought it was an April Fool’s joke but it turns out it’s accurate. From the Microsoft Copilot Terms of Use: "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only.

I was discussing whether to try out Code Review from Anthropic with a colleague earlier this week. It may still need some more work. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/e...

@csilverman.bsky.social makes some incredible artwork using just the drawing tools on Apple Notes on his iPhone. Amazing creativity. Hat tip to @clivethompson.bsky.social and his newsletter, The Linkfest, for sharing this. notes.art

Win11Debloat is a handy script for removing bloatware and telemetry from Windows 11. It has added a GUI to make the process easier. Another recommendation from @thurrott.bsky.social on Hands-On Windows on @twit.tv. github.com/Raphire/Win1...

I stumbled across the Kickstarter for the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab. It looks intriguing but I’m skeptical of the price. Considering how expensive everything has gotten it looks to be incredible value. It’ll be interesting to see how they get on.

This is a good blog where Josh W. Comeau goes through a cool trick with the header on his website. Sneaky Header Blocker Trick

✨ I just published a new blog post! It’s a deep dive into a subtle UI detail from my blog. I suspect most people don’t even notice it, but I regularly hear from the folks who *do* notice it and want to know how on earth I’m doing it. Feels a bit like I’m a magician revealing their trick. 😂

Today is the 10th anniversary of when npm left-pad taught me about software supply chain risk.

I can’t recommend the @markrussinovich.bsky.social episode of the @fafo.fm podcast with @justingarrison.com and @withenoughcoffee.bsky.social enough. A great listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA-Y...

Both @daringfireball.bsky.social and @kottke.org both wrote about @samhenri.gold's fantastic review of the MacBook Neo. samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

Both John Gruber and Jason Kottke both wrote about Sam Henri Gold’s fantastic review of the MacBook Neo. It evokes the feeling of hopeful exploration where people fell in love with the potential of computing in the past and a new generation finding their own way in the future.

It’s good to see that @ifixit.com has said that Apple has improved the repairability of the MacBook Neo. It’s not perfect but it is a step in the right direction. www.ifixit.com/News/116152/...

Justin Garrison created this handy guide for people looking to increase the security of their iOS devices. iOS Digital Safety Guide

I put together a 1-pager for people attending protests and traveling on some tips for keeping their iPhones safe. It's intended to be printable and handed out. It doesn't replace more thorough guides, but it's the things I think are most important for average users justingarrison.com/ios-safety

This was a good discussion between @davidbombal.bsky.social and @malwaretech.com covering AI, cybersecurity, the threat landscape, the current job market and advice for people entering the tech industry. More hopeful than a lot of other interviews I’ve seen recently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsXz...

I don’t think SaaS is dead. I think individualized software is very alive

@thurrott.bsky.social spoke about Microsoft Edit on @twit.tv Hands On Windows, a terminal text editor written in Rust that works on Windows and Linux. Only 892kB when downloaded using winget. It’s fast, simple and has performed well for me so far. It’s worth trying out.

Cal Newport has been doing good media criticism about viral AI stories. youtu.be/YevENe3iNUc

I’ve been lucky to work with some great people who have taught me a lot. The tech industry could use something like an apprenticeship to help junior developers. Good to see @scott.hanselman.com and @markrussinovich.bsky.social working to improve the situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmRN...

I wish I could say that I’m surprised but @justingarrison.com said stuff like this was going to happen. www.ft.com/content/7cab...

@minakimes.bsky.social makes a great point. Displaying even a little curiosity can bring great rewards. It’s usually not the most efficient path but it’s almost always more fun. www.youtube.com/shorts/-zQtL...
