Hey Taylor, I was that kid that created an Angelfire site for my theater group in high school. We wanted to promote our upcoming shows on the internet and no one knew how to do it. So I figured it out. It blew my mind that I could just type some characters into Notepad and out popped a website. I got hooked. Fast forward to today, I am now a seasoned full-stack developer that has been building entire web apps from top to bottom for well over 15 years. Laravel has been an integral part of my stack since 4.2 was released back in 2014. I’ve lived a lot of lives over the course of my career, and what has crystallized for me over the past couple of years is that I want to build developer-focused tooling and products. This is what motivates me. This is what brings me joy. This is why I built Bellows, a CLI app that sits on top of Forge to provision your sites even faster and manage your third-party credentials. This is why I built Blip, allowing developers to flexibly manage the IP whitelisting for their server. I want to make developers’ lives easier, I want to make tasks feel like magic. I love working on hard problems. I love experimenting with code to see if something amazing comes out the other side. I love collaborating with other talented developers and exchanging ideas and techniques. Last, but certainly not least: I’m fun to work with. I have a great sense of humor, I’m a fun hang, and my Slack gif game is strong. I would love to have a conversation the next time you’re expanding the Laravel team. Building out world-class products and packages under the Laravel banner would be both a dream and a task I’m well-suited for. Talk soon, Joe

Agent Psychosis: Are We Going Insane? What’s going on with the AI builder community right now?

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Alright, now also with ClickHouse and Rill Cloud integration, all done through GitHub Actions and dlt.

The promise: FinOps Made Easy.

yes, agee. I like how the timer feature works, way more better to sees, definetions in a single place/command.

The only part I don't like is about the DNS where systemd-resolved. especially tricky with ipv4/v6 and k8s dns limitation.

The age file header is sent to the client, which decrypts it using typage's new passkey support (github.com/FiloSottile/...) and sends back the file key. The server decrypts the password with it and mounts the dataset.

I can use it from my phone via iCloud Keychain, or could use YubiKeys, too!

I'm Leaving Sentry Endings and new beginnings.

Today is the day! After a decade of working on Sentry it's time for me to move on to new adventures. It's been a wild ride, and I'm taking a lot with me from this experience.

Adam Chalmers: "Making a Programming Language for 3D Design" | RustConf 2024 YouTube video by Rust Foundation

My talk from RustConf is up! I talk about the history and current state of computer-aided design, why we're building a new programming language for 3D modeling, and the lessons I learned along the way.

A friend got her (Android) phone stolen and the thieves were able to quickly pivot into her Google account and then bank.

I’ve been wondering how they did that and my best guess is SMS password resets (aka SMS 1FA).

So yeah, SIM PINs (or eSIMs) might help. Also no text body on lock screens.

I’m facing FIPS 140 due to a sequence of choices that each made sense in isolation.

If I’m doing this, though, I’m doing it my way. Currently reading the Implementation Guidance rules cover to cover.

Soon I’ll need to find some ISO standards that fell off a truck.
