It's crazy that 2026 is almost over and we still can't create fine grained access tokens to access GitHub packages

I'm so internected right now

Testing something tom.sherman.is/blog/3mxu6k4...

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

The other reaction I'm having is that I'm less certain on lifting these things up to infrastructure ie. Serverless. Makes me less excited about things like celld, couldn't that just be a library that gets deployed to a mesh of regular node.js pods?

An interesting reaction I'm having to working with effect.website is that I'm way less hesitant to make things stateful or dynamic. Really tips the scales of that trade off in a lot of cases

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017)

New post: why the life of the mind is not purely private, the importance of intellectual community, and how AI undermines these communities. borretti.me/article/no-m...

Platform engineer, product engineer, polish engineer These are the three roles going forward, sorry I don't make the rules

Opus 5.5 still isn't that good at doing React Server Components. It doesn't seem to understand that you don't have to render RSCs as children and it doesn't get that you can share state across sibling client trees with context, it's obsessed with lifting and making more stuff client needlessly

Can I author posts on somewhere like @leaflet.pub (that owns my standard.site publication) and integrate/render the post on my own site with @standard.site metadata? Even though the publication URL will be different of course In other words: how does syndication work?

I'm building an activity feed of all of the things I do online inspired by @dame.is' homepage and I just realised that I'm essentially building an appview lol

Digger (2026)

Gonna go watch Digger might dig into the Digger Collectors Combo

Has anybody made an atproto Steam scrobbler?

The fancier the cheeses, the stinkier the fridge is

I'm really changing my opinion on shadcn lately, i don't think it adds enough value to warrant existing Humans and LLMs are not capable of using the component abstractions in a way that's accessible. Being accessible is objective number 1 of any component library or design system

So I just learned that in @typescriptlang.org any JSX element is allowed arbitrary attributes as long as they contain a `-` 🤔 It's documented as an exemption for invalid JS identifiers (why?) but I checked the source and literally only checks for hyphens. Insane behaviour

We ran into a really frustrating bug in @stylexjs.com dev mode, has anyone experienced a similar issue? Surprised it's not been reported before! github.com/facebook/sty...

Resident Evil (2026)

Bad Apples (2025)
