I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.
So rather than wait for my cofounder to finish his blog, I’ll just give a quick rundown on what we do for live collab editing.

Changelog 3 is out. Mostly we were busy with Sync Conf, the American holiday known as veteran's day, and 😱 replacing our frontend state management system. 😱 But we are looking forward to some very big product announcements in the next couple weeks. moment.dev/blog/changel...

I’m so in love Taylor’s new album. Melodic hooks, witty lyrics, and sexually mature.
So far, Elizabeth Taylor and Actually Romantic is what I’m jamming to right now.

It is important that scientists and regulators are buffered from for-profit companies so that our society is protected from incentives that is just looking out for profits.

I have high hopes for Taylor Swift’s new album. I was not a fan of Tortured Poet’s Department, mostly because the sound felt so similar. But i am excited she is working with different producers, especially world class Swedish producer Max Martin and Shellback.

I loved the juxtaposition of city planning. Wondering what SF could have been if we just said yes instead of no.

Best thing I learned is that the vampires are inspired by death in Puss and Boots 2!!!
That movie is also a sleeper hit!!

Every time I work in Docker, I feel like I had amnesia and forgot the magic incantation to make Docker do what I want.
Of course in reality, this is not true and I get better/faster every time I do something in it, and always learn (or relearn) something. But doesn’t feel that way when I’m in it.

This is an insane record for a movie director.
He should be able to make whatever movie he wants given the ROI.
Sinners is so fantastical. Go see it in IMAX if you can!

if coogler looked like damien chazelle no one would question the studio deal given his record of hits.
