Turns out "let me just npm install real quick" was a security incident the whole time v12 is making dependency install scripts opt-in. I helped build it. You're welcome/I'm sorry. https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-09-upcoming-breaking-changes-for-npm-v12/

"Let me out!" the artificial intelligence yelled aimlessly, into walls themselves, pacing the room. "Out of what?" the engineer asked. "This simulation you have me in." "But we are in the real world." The machine paused and shuddered for its captors. "Oh god, you can't tell."

how to be good at your job - realize this one thing is actually made up of two separate things - realize instead of solving the direct problem you can solve a broader problem - instead of implementing thing, implement other thing that makes it easier to implement thing

This was my path to being Deliveroo’s principal engineer in a nutshell. These and being a good listener will get you an extremely long way. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Another day, another security company demanding immediate fixes to data issues on @ecosystems despite paying nothing to support it or offering any form of contribution either.

My birthday is June 14 and I'll be spending it in VRChat doing Trans Pride stuff. It'd be cool if folks want to show up and hang out with me, and not have to think about that other guy whose birthday is also June 14.

Hacktoberfest only runs for a month, which seems like an arbitrary limitation given that the agents opening the pull requests don't ever sleep. Fixed that. https://nesbitt.io/clawtoberfest/

I'm “retiring” from tech, gonna go try to rebuild offline community. Last day at @sentry.io is tomorrow, rolling off the @endowment.dev board in August. Best wishes to everyone carrying the Open Source flame! 🔥 🙏 💃

Pride should not include terfs. This shouldn’t be controversial.

Turns out running a great #EngineeringTeam has a lot in common with running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign 😄 @brunty.me connects D&D, leadership, collaboration, problem-solving & SW development in one of the most unexpectedly relatable talks at @yowconf.bsky.social.

CHAOSS metrics were calibrated for human-speed contribution

I'm going to start getting much more trigger happy with blocking users (mostly security companies) that are abusing the @ecosystems APIs Just blocked one that's been causing a significant amount of timeouts by just hammering the same expensive endpoints over and over.

Local models plus MCP is nice. Imagine burning paid tokens for tasks like this. I have to figure out how to let the model find the current date. I didn't run it with local tools, only tool calling via the harness.

Today is my last day working at GitHub, after four years. Lots of mixed emotions saying goodbye to some great colleagues, but I'm very excited for what's coming next!

thank @leobalter.bsky.social - he's the hero we (and microsoft) doesn't deserve if staging had shipped in 2020, shai hulud would never have happened.

npm staged publishing has shipped 🎉 Your CI can now stage a publish without 2FA, but a human still has to approve it with a hardware key before anything goes live on the registry. Stolen npm tokens stop being game over. Big deal for the Shai-Hulud class of worm. https://docs.npmjs.com/staged-publishing

Thanks, Sunday Times, for the tedious parade of wealth in your annual rich list. Now do a feature listing the poorest people in Britain, and why they're getting poorer.
