I created a new feed for trending developer topics on Bluesky. Go check it out!
I've loved @hipstersmoothie.com's Web Dev Trending, but have for a long time felt like it could be refined and improved. So with @danabra.mov's "we can just do things" I felt inspired to just make the change myself!

This makes me really sad.
I absolutely *adore* my @frame.work laptop and have been such a big fan of the ethos and values that they have talked about striving for as a company up to this point.
I feel so depleted by an industry that seems happy to ignore politics if a technology is cool enough.

Framework supporting far-right racists?

Folks who know #atproto, I have Qs I still haven’t found answers to and would love any thoughts / opinions you have!
1. Given that most PDSs are hosted by @bsky.app, if an atproto app comes along that gets really popular, does that mean Bluesky is now covering the hosting costs of that app’s data?

put another way: i don't want your data—not just from an ideological "users should be in control" perspective, but from a pragmatic "this makes my app harder and more expensive to run" perspective
we've been so focused on making it easy to scale up that we've accidentally made it hard to scale down

i like making little web apps for myself/family/friends. the most annoying parts — the parts that drastically increase the scope, from "a bunch of HTML, CSS & JS files" to "a web server and database" — are auth+persistence. so i am very excited about atproto including a user-owned solution for both.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic
DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

Host your own instance of Dokploy and never be disappointed by *any* company and its leadership again.
Worst case: Your VPS provider ends up being evil, so you pack up shop and find a new one — nothing changes about the day to day of how you host / deploy your websites and apps.

This is awesome 🥹 Major props to Preston for his hard work, but also kudos to @tur.so (and Maine) for their willingness to give him a chance.

Most prolific example I know of is @jaypenner.bsky.social who’s written 16 novels using VS Code 😵

I've never seen anyone support the execution of inline functions in an `html` tagged template (pls correct me), but this is a *really* cool and powerful primitive y'all

I need some help!
I’m working on a YouTube video that explores what it would take to build a web app that, if built today, could last 100 years.
It covers tech stack, dev strategies, DX, etc but I need help coming up with a demo.
Any fun ideas for a full stack app meant to live for a century??

Super interesting refresh / redirect of Remix 👀
Will now be a @preactjs.com fork with the goal of zero deps, aligned closely with Web APIs, and little-to-no bundling/compiling/typegen
Already a big fan of Preact and the work @developit.dev has done on it, so very curious to see how this plays out

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
