it is actually just so wild that these buildings used to exist in San Francisco the Palace of Fine Arts is just the tiniest taste of what's left from the 1915 expo

React is dying.

Context is key to good decision making. Context is critical for empowered teams. Rereading this post from Marty Cagan svpg.com/lead-with-cont… always motivates me for our mission codexbuild to capture and share context across the engineering organization.

“it’s not a package manager, it’s a declarative, purely functional language for describing a reproducible system configuration.” “okay, it’s not a package manager. so how do i install a package?” “you write a Nix expression that describes a system with that package installed.”

And while we're being mad at software, I know I've railed against this several times in the past - but fuck this very much.

"Kotlin is now the recommended programming language for server-side JVM usage at Google, set to replace Java while still providing access to a large existing Java ecosystem." youtu.be/o14wGByBRAQ

🚨Ship alert 🚢 TL;DR We've codexbuild automated the creation and updating of CODEOWNER files in GitHub codeowners.com Why does this improve code quality, time to production, and developer experience? Hell, wondering what a CODEOWNER file is? I've got you...

60, the number of men we lose worldwide to suicide per hour. One per minute. Unconscionable. I’m raising funds for Movember to support mental health initiatives. I’ll be running 60km this month. Donate if you can, I appreciate you: ca.movember.com/mospace/146121…

If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.

Managing a CODEOWNERS file manually? Tedious and annoying; it'll be stale and out of date often. Enter automated Code Ownership codeowners.com. Automatically track which people and teams own which code. Check it out on Product Hunt: producthunt.com/posts/codeowne…

Are Map and Set in JavaScript the most worthless implementations of map and set in any language?

most confusing part of symlinks is which goes first when creating them

If you have a lot of hubris with no curiosity, you might not understand: - how to build upon lessons learned from the old system - the opportunity cost of trying something new - the complexity of a massive rewrite, or why the system became complex for the current features

A dev who can build something alone quickly may not have the skillset to evaluate these tradeoffs. Deciding that if you are smart and can’t figure it out, it must be broken is irresponsible. This is why a curious mindset is one of the greatest strengths an engineer can possess.

maybe this is the year some of you finally go outside

Not convinced that a single meeting should exist over 30 minutes. Even board meetings. Read the material beforehand. Align on key points to address. Tight agenda. Run it home.

Async programming is so cool. With just a few minutes of work you can have a program that hangs forever and is impossible to debug

.env suck there i said it
