Pizza places pioneered online ordering so that we wouldn't have to have a conversation in order pizza. 20-30 years later, AI companies want us to have a conversation to interact with basically any piece of software.
We have regressed.

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout.
- Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere
- We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!
I've been waiting for these for what seems like forever. Also going in a Voyager. I got tired of waiting and dropped in the ambients, but put the 55g springs from the whites to hold me over.
shooting my shot 🏀 we’re hiring & here’s the lowdown. this would be a great role for someone beginning or mid career. pls apply or pass on to anyone u know who might fit!
(it is my current position, i am moving to other projects within the same team & would be training this person)
My team at Plane is hiring experienced full stack engineers. We use Rails, Postgres, Phlex, Vite, TypeScript and Svelte. I don’t have a full job description yet, but drop me a DM if you want to know more.
displaying the email is already taken, while good ux, can be used for a user enumeration attack.
Happy Birthday!
"Triangle man" (love the name, will use it from now on) made their politics known years ago, i think it might have been during the first term.
I have the conversation with all my clients, and refuse to take on work involving their products.
The Ruby community deserves to know who voted for this and what information they were acting on.
Ruby Central is actually very opaque. They don’t publish donations, they don’t publish votes, the community has no say who’s on the board. There is no accountability.
Nice write up Jared. It's unfortunate what has transpired and I hope the community will come together to rectify, but that will be a long, arduous process. My unfounded long-tail fears of this are with influence and censorship, always a concern with a corporate/private funded central authority.
Hi folks, it’s survey time! We’d love to learn more about how you use Go and what could be improved. Share your feedback via our annual developer survey at google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... It should take 10 - 20 minutes to complete, and will be open through September 30. Thank you!

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW.
It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.
If you have a news.ycombinator account you can help people find out about LavaMoat by upvoting my "You too can run malware from NPM" post. hn.algolia.com?dateRange=pa...
It might get the traction it needs to get in front of many people and stop some malware in the process.
Maybe alien signals github.com/stackblitz/a... or datastar data-star.dev
Yes, looks like it's down.
a screenshot of a kanban-style board showing issues in the GitHub column and in the Codeberg column of which repos have migrated over
a screenshot of my GitHub profile, which reads: jaredcwhite / README.md • Caution Due to GitHub's bizarre "pivot to Al" with unsubstatiated claims that soon 90% of code will be written by Al all while being sucked into the facist Micro$oft regime, I am proudly migrating all of my open source projects over to Codeberg. This work is ongoing and I am tracking the progress here. I hope you will join me and migrate away from the proprietary GitHub corporate silo and onto true community-led, open source platforms like Codeberg! (Or host Forgejo yourself!)
My grand migration to #Codeberg has begun!
And I'm using a Codeberg project to track my progress!
Feels so good. 🥰

Hopefully it arrives soon.

Pretty much. I gave it some Go coding tasks, same with Claude 3.7, 4 and qwen3-4b-2507 (not really in the same league) - it never completely fulfilled the tasks, but came close, around 70-80% of what was asked. Claude 4 did with no problem. I'd put it with 3.7 or Qwen3 (which did surprisingly well)
Turkey is great! Quality is terrible
FULL OPENTELEMETRY = 81% PERFORMANCE DROP
That's not a typo. Complete auto-instrumentation obliterated throughput.
P99 latency jumped from 26ms → 104ms
Before you reach for distributed tracing, ask: Do you need traces or just metrics?

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.
Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.
If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.
fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.
going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.
if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!
