A quick Friday-evening note on what I do and don’t tend to write about on social media—and why!
I mostly post about tech in the “literally building software” sense, and about music (though this account mostly just reposts the things from @music.chriskrycho.com in the latter case).

@chriskrycho.com well put here. Seems like we all have a desire to share quite a bit of what we’re thinking with the world, but awfully hard to have good conversations about it in mini-text-snippet form …
@nullvoxpopuli.com / @mansona.bsky.social think an attack like this is of concern in our community?
Unfortunately that’s one of the downsides of publishing via CI. It’s a super interesting attack target and you can exploit it 24/7. bsky.app/profile/matt...
absolutely incredible attack vector

What are your top priorities when choosing a framework to use for a new project.
You're allowed to say "I use what I usually use". Just curious what plays into people's choices.

The ongoing ability to delete code that has been upstreamed to the platform is a huge benefit to SPAs, interesting to read Chris’ thoughts on Tom Dale’s comments from 7 years ago
Today is a twofer on blog posts. This one is more for the #emberjs crowd but other may find it interesting too: runspired.com/2024/11/27/w...

As we continue to see license changes ripple through the OSS ecosystem I’d expect this type of hard-to-navigate conversation to continue …
Do you use my Redis rust crate? In particular do you use it with Valkey? Redis Inc. came knocking and I'm not sure what should be done here. I opened a GitHub issue if you have input. github.com/redis-rs/red...

It is entirely possible that Bluesky becomes a self-congratulatory left-leaning bubble with a narrow censorious orthodoxy. That would be a pity.
What I'm hoping for is a place with a healthier shared ethos, rather than merely a partisan mirror image to Elon's version of Twitter.

Scaling ideas is hard.
For the past few years I've had a much larger list in my head of what I'd like to see accomplished tech-wise in the frontend ecosystem (especially @emberjs.com and @warp-drive.io) than I could reasonably take-on even on multi-year timescales.

I’m looking forward to the `renderComponent` api. It isn’t something you need that often, but when you do it’ll sure be nice to have
Just published a quick writeup of impl work I've been doing lately for Polaris.
TL;DR
- Top-level `renderComponent` API
- Runtime template compiler (for REPLs)
- Component inspector fixes for GJS
- `this.#private` syntax
- hash and array literal syntax

Polaris: What I'm Working On
I've been spending my time doing a lot of long-overdue work on Ember, Glimmer and the Handlebars parser. I figured I'd post a quick list of the work.

It's true. When you think about what browser tech was like 20 years ago we've sure come a long way ...
The Baseline browser effort is, by far, the biggest seismic shift to the interoperable web since Evergreen.
The pace of progress across the major vendors has radically sped up now that there's a formal effort to target.
It's incredible to watch.
