“I hate complaining about tech” Oh so we’re just lying on the internet now?

Ugh. Found well-phrased GitHub issue exactly explaining my issue 🤩 …with a contributor reply 😍 …saying to ask in Discord 😭

Justin Searls quit social media by posting more. How, exactly, did he do that? By writing way too much Ruby code to cross-post his blog to all the social networks using an atom feed of his design. POSSE is an old idea: publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere. That’s desirable, for sure, but not always easy to accomplish. POSSE Party is the new app Justin released so others can accomplish the same without all the work he went through.

the only good outcome for JavaScript Projects as Corporations is to get scooped up by a major company, and if you're an adopter early on it's a crapshoot if you're going to be okay with who actually ends up scooping up the project + how they continue to maintain it https://astro.build/blog/joining-cloudflare/

How do you feel about this promotion and benefit from a memecoin?

Yeah. Him and Huntley have now made tens of thousands and are denying it’s a scam. It’s really difficult to watch.

We are halfway through the Writing for Developers book club through the @overcommitted.dev community and the writing motivation is strong 💪 - 10 blog posts folks wrote this week and got feedback on - Discussions every day and started some co-working sessions - A supportive community of developers

Today was a good day, I think, for knitting together. Lolly the cat makes eye contact with the camera as she sits in Marty's lap. Marty is focused on hanging stitches on his knitting machine. Marty …

Sometimes I wish I had fewer ideas. Execution of an idea is way more important than the quantity of ideas you have; and as someone who struggles with executive function, I get sad when I look at my unmerged branches on my blog.

The best blog post left unpublished doesn't help anyone. Well, maybe it helps the author clarify their ideas. Execution is (almost) the whole game. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Yes, I know the cliché that bloggers are always blogging about blogging! I like semantics. It tickles that part of my delicious meaty brain that longs for structure. Semantics are good for computers and humans. Computers can easily understand the structure of the data, humans can use tools like screen-readers to extract the data they're interested in. In HTML, there are three main ways to …

The key thought is that for upcoming events, it really helps if there's a calendar feed. You can subscribe and see events in your local calendar app. I started looking around the #hugo community, and people have built out ways of doing that: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/05/22/ical-events-hugo/

Top HN comment on my post “How Dependabot Actually Works”: “I consider reflecting on how dependabot works a bit of a waste.” 😂

Looking into the https://forgefed.org spec this evening and there’s nothing about packages or dependencies yet. Imagine if repositories and forges could announce to the maintainers of packages that they just started using their package, and then be able to subscribe to maintainers announcements of new releases, security advisories and calls for help. They don’t even do that in centralised forges very well at the moment!

As you can tell from our faces, open source is very serious and Kubernetes is the most serious project of them all. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I think a big chunk of the "linux is hard" sentiment stems from the fact that most linux users do weird things with their computers. basically this:

My last "year in review" post I wrote was in 2019. I have been considering writing one for 2025 but as a "glass half-empty" person it is so hard.
