GitHub actions code injection attack via malicious crafted branch name. Interesting! The Pull Request wasn't even merged but must have done something when GitHub Actions ran on the request. Be careful with your automated testing systems running on untrusted user code!

Free advice if you’re looking to hire senior leaders: Make them write an essay about their first year in that position.
You’ll know:
- If they can listen and read
- If they can think clearly
- If they can change other people’s minds
These are top skills to have and difficult to assess otherwise.

AI has aged like clip art.
Art ages like wine.
Art ages like wine.
It's different from, for example, the hate that modernism got as it supplanted its baroque predecessors - that was a conservative reflex that faded with familiarity.
AI imagery has its moment for a few months. Then it got old. The more people see this midjourney-ass shit, the more they hate it.

Defense is where the money is now.
OpenAI in 2024:
“No AI for weapons or military”
“Do use our AI to make weapons to hurt yourself or others”
“Military is fine, but no AI for weapons”
“Sure put it on battlefield drones”

First app to do this will become the go-to Bluesky client. It should be a priority for devs working on clients.
Are there any Bluesky client apps that preserve my reading position in the timeline? I’ve tried the official app, Skeets, and Openvibe, none of which seem to know that reading position is even a thing. A fresh launch of the app puts me at the very top of the timeline every time.

My wife once told the partner of a colleague that you’re never ready, like you’re never rich enough.
They were thinking they wanted their own house first and what not.
Nine months later, their daughter was born.

Getting accidentally pregnant with my first child when I was both not ready and yet in fact was perfectly ready as it turned out was a valuable lesson for me on the folly of trying to control everything and also my own resilience

We dove deep into what ClickHouse is so fast, why AI companies love it (hint: its had a vector data type since 2012), rewriting Zookeeper (yikes), and how math informs database design.
