released crashstats-tools (command line utilities for interacting with Crash Stats (Mozilla's crash ingestion site)) 1.3.0: pypi.org/project/crashs… #mozilla #crash I switched output to use #rich which is fabulous. WOW!

released bleach (html sanitizing library for Python) 5.0.1 just now. #version-5-0-1-june-27th-2022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bleach.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chan… #python #html #mozilla

wherein we fuzz rust-minidump and discover that microsoft's minidump format contains Parallel Universes (and that implementing different-but-similar architectures as completely independent files makes it way too easy to forget to port fixes between them) hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/fuzzin…

wherein we rewrite mozilla's crashreporting backend in rust and i descend into infinite paranoia and build ever more testing infrastructure because there is no such thing as "valid" inputs when a precondition for your work is "firefox just crashed" hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/everyt…

@Gankra_ y'all did fantastic work on this! the "let's turn it on in production" thing was quiet and non-eventful because of it.

@jamessocol I think you were my boss when I worked on Dennis. Does that sound right? It was either you or @r1cky .

Dennis is a gettext/l10n linting library I wrote 9 years ago. Dennis v1.0.0 released! Retrospective! Handing it off! bluesock.org/~willkg/blog/d… #python #mozilla

@jamessocol I wish I had stats on how many issues Dennis addressed. I remember HTTP 500s from bad strings being a frequent occurrence. Fun times!

So I guess Windows update now offers to switch the user back to Edge as a default, the only other option to remind them again three days later? Strong respect for user choice there!

My team at Mozilla is looking for a great Senior or Staff Software Engineer: boards.greenhouse.io/mozilla/jobs/4…. Please share far and wide and apply if this sounds like you.

(finally) fixed the multiple-click problem with rob-bugson (thank you @chuttenc!) and did a 1.6.3 release: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/… rob-bugson is a firefox extension that gives you helpful bugzilla links in github prs. #firefox #bugzilla #github

i released Bleach (HTML text fragment sanitization library for Python) 5.0.0 just now: pypi.org/project/bleach… #python

@pmclanahan you can do it! i believe in you!

i started at mozilla just after Firefox 6 was released (pretty sure that's right). and now here we are... #Firefox #mozilla

If you've ever wondered what the day to day work on Firefox looks like you really should check out Mike's streams. It's often not flashy and exciting feature implementations, but neither is most of our day to day work.

Everett v3.0.0 released! bluesock.org/~willkg/blog/d… Everett is a configuration library for Python applications that I use on Mozilla services I maintain. This release reworks Sphinx directives for documenting configuration. #Mozilla #Python
