Here’s a smattering of things I found interesting lately. Tools, articles, silos, and insults to all programmers. Silo I haven’t been this into a sci-fi / mystery box series since Lost.1 The setup: In a ruined and toxic future, thousands live in a giant silo deep underground. After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.

Bookmarked Renovate: It was a packageRule all along by Sebastian Poxhofer 
Post details
As a Renovate maintainer, the question I answer most often is not “why is Renovate broken?” but “why did Renovate do that with my config?”. The honest answer is usually “because you configured it that way”, and finding out where is the hard part. Every one of these mysteries ends the same way: you pull off the mask, and it was a packageRule all along. The Renovate Config Debugger is my attempt to make that answer visible before Renovate runs.

Attached: 1 image Earlier this week I unsubscribed from #1Password and moved to #Bitwarden... due to their donation of 300k to DHH's #Omarchy. I made sure to let them know about the reason, so that hopefully the company would notice those kind of decisions have an impact. Day one I got messages from their AI system. But today I got a response by a real human at 1Password (or so it appears). If you are curious about the company's official response to the backlash, check out the screenshot (and/or #AltText)

I'm still a huge proponent of the idea of distribution channels for packages where "production" is expected to be the slimmest functional build of your package and "development" includes markdown files, test directories, and other "useful" stuff that doesn't need to be in my production machine [contains quote post or other embedded content]
