Heute streikt der ÖPNV in #Freiburg. Wenn man sich ansieht, wie viele ihren Weg aus allen Stadtteilen ins Zentrum zur Demo gegen den Schulterschluss mit Faschist*innen gefunden haben, kann man festhalten, dass den Menschen der Ernst der Lage klar ist. Ihre demokratische Botschaft ist auch deutlich.✊🏻

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g.

- Small changes
- Test that the change works before moving on
- (unit) tests wherever you can

Oh yeah, and we passed 150M developers on GitHub 💅 github.blog/news-insight...

This was peak gaming

🎉 require(esm) has been unflaged in v22.12.0! We are also planning to unflag it on v20.x later if it goes well in v22.x.

As before please try it out and report any bugs you find. (hopefully none, but with how wild the module loading edge cases can be, one never knows!).

Achtung Freunde - GitHub is expanding our DevRel team, and we'd love to hire an amazing Senior Developer Advocate based out of Munich, Germany! If you know someone who would be perfect, please share this with them! #jobs #hiring githubinc.jibeapply.com/jobs/3760

We are testing collaborative Bluesky content management. This post is sent from a GitHub action triggered by a merged pull request in https://github.com/nodejs/bluesky/pull/8!

I’ve said this before, but at a certain level of engineering your ability to write a doc is likely to have more impact than your ability to write code.

Not because you won’t write code, but because your ability to convey an architecture, idea, or approach and get folks buy in is essential.

Released in 2.2.0-beta.2 and it's even smoother now! Here's comparison of latest Vitest on left vs beta on right. Flickering is gone and now you can scroll up to see results without scroll jumping. And of course there's the status summary of active test run on the bottom. github.com/vitest-dev/v...

I'm making a similar shift now. It's time.

From now on, we'll use our @bsky.app account as our main feed for Vitest updates. vitest.dev and GitHub have been updated; you won't find any X links there. Let's do Open Source in an Open Source social network 🦋

Many such cases - and I increasingly feel the same way.

Twitter is becoming a mainstream "TikTok-like" space, where my feed is overwhelmed with politics, memes and what feels like "engagement bait" - from accounts I do not follow.

Bluesky feels like where I get to engage with the dev community.

April 2020: if one single noise from my house is picked up on my zoom call, my clients and colleagues will think I’m an unprofessional buffoon

November 2023: hi guys the dog’s gonna lead the first 5 minutes of this meeting

Beautiful new font and website monaspace.githubnext.com

Will you try it?

Four years in the making and finally released today: The Software Engineer's Guidebook is out!! Get it on Amazon or via engguidebook.com

@whereistanya.bsky.social described it like this: "This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry."
