Thank you so much to everyone who helped out with this project along the way. So much of the book is the result of feedback by kind people who took the time to listen and read. Thank you.
Try it, it's one line change:

Got three job rejections in one day so: I am asking for help finding a new full-stack web development job. My website/portfolio is available at casey.kolderup.org. I'm a great team member and I've worked at small startups and medium-sized companies with success working across teams and disciplines.

I am on the edge of my seat hoping Temporal squeaks into ES2026 as I predicted - it's been a long journey with so much work by so many people inside ECMAscript and out - but developers can start relying on it this year
I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.
I really hope the open source community can keep pace.
Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
did what he said and set aside time to read it this weekend, you should too if you’ve not already
Been working on this one for a while — it's a little bit of history of a key foundation of internet technology, and a little bit of an explainer about how people _actually_ invent things. This is the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world. www.anildash.com/2026/01/09/h...
We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse.
This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares.
Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.
Intertapes is a collection of found cassette tapes — some contain music and others voice memos. Each entry includes images of the tape, a description/track listing, and the actual audio (on Soundcloud). [kottke.org]
“The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.”

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Hopefully you'll have a lot of fun playing with the demo and it will leave you with a strong sense of wanting more.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.
I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂
