Probably the most misunderstood concept in business and the main reason I was held back for many promotion cycles early in my career. What does commit in “Disagree and commit” actually mean?

@zkline Doubt it, they have never shown any indication of interest

Hate how complicated JWEs are. Just realized after chasing down a nagging feeling since yesterday about something being wrong that JWEs don't provide non-repudiation.

Hilarious how its easier to crack Windows than activating it legitimately even if you're official Microsoft support bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

I've always been in the printf debugging camp, but this makes me reconsider using a debugger werat.dev/blog/what-a-go…

The latest @inkandswitch project I’ve been involved with is Upwelling: an exploration of what a text editor might look like if it had both Google-Docs-style real-time collaboration and something like Git-style pull requests. inkandswitch.com/upwelling/

Thought of using ChatGPT to figure out whether CSP or CORS helps with preventing CSRF attacks because I was spending quite a lot of time on this recently. And the explanation it returned was shockingly accurate 😱. Only wished I thought of trying this earlier

@joseph_yaml That's something that only time and popularity can fix unfortunately

Agree with so many of the pain points mentioned here. That reminds me, I should really look into Svelte soon emnudge.dev/blog/react-hos…

New blog post: Things DBs don't do - But should! thenile.dev/blog/things-db… It is based on my keynote at #ddtx23 - lots of people asked about it and there were no recordings. So I put my thoughts on writing.

Wow, this is glorious! I wonder if I could make this my alarm instead...

@joseph_yaml Could it be the recent cold weather? Get well soon!

only two months into 2023 and i've been sick twice. has my immunity become superfragile after mostly staying home for the past two years? 🥲
