Since I always vent about other language ecosystems when they suck, I want to also share a counterexample. Today I spent the day doing tooling integration and testing and compatibility work on https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts and things mostly just worked, including Node/Bun/esbuild, and ES Modules, and Typescript, and Puppeteer, and GitHub Actions. https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts/pull/14

New on the blog: https://andy-bell.co.uk/how-im-using-the-fragments-of-social-media-now/ I think I’ve found the perfect balance: not trying to use all platforms the same, but leaning into what I think makes them good.

It&#8217;s been over a year since Elon Musk started the process of dismantling Twitter, which has resulted in lots of fragmentation. It&#8217;s also resulted in new platforms arriving and some even disappearing (cya later T2/Pebble). I think I&#8217;ve found the perfect balance, which I guess is an evolution of the holy trinity.

Forgetting to Post, a Note posted by Mark Sutherland, a developer and digital creative based in Leicester, UK

Holy heck, a functioning laptop and access to all the resources I need to work, and we aren't even done with the first week. I don't think this employer realizes how much better they are than the average.

The .io top-level domain funds and legitimises Britain's exile of the Chagossian people from their homeland. Here's the history and the facts.

Last time I brought this up on a UK-based technical mailing list, an entrepreneur—themself from a historically persecuted ethnic group—told me that, "no one cares".
