Bit gutted to have received my official rejection from speaking at GitHub Universe, after being on the "alternate" (backup) list of speakers, but still chuffed to have made it that far! 1600+ talks proposed this year apparently 🙀
What do you do when you've attached your sense of self to work, and work suddenly feels meaningless? In this talk, Amy explores burnout, purpose and making m...
Michael Quiqley from NetFoundry joins Natalie to discuss Zero Trust concepts, why they are important for secure systems & how to implement them in Go.
What's in an npm package? And can we make them smaller? I investigated how npm packages are compressed using gzip and what it might looking like to switch to a modern compressor like Brotli or zstd #node #nodejs #npm #javascript https://jamiemagee.co.uk/blog/honey-i-shrunk-the-npm-package/

i just added a page to my personal website that catalogs all the books, music, and games that are deeply important to me in some way. i'm calling it The Loved List, shamelessly stealing the term from Anthony Fantano's website. https://ankursethi.in/the-loved-list/ maybe one day i'll turn this into a nice gallery of sorts, with cover art and links and metadata and all sorts of bells and whistles. for now, a plain list is all i have the time to do. #indieweb #webdev #blog

Hey, good job patching all your browsers for the latest WebP vulnerabilities (there's a new one today, btw). Know what probably didn't get updated? Yeah, all those Electron apps.
