This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:

Attached: 1 image Parents should always take "awkward photos" of their kids, and show them off regularly. Though I'm sure I thought of this one as embarrassing at some point, I now love it — it's little me telling me I've got this in what looks like peak 90's clothing & pose, with a superlative confident grin 😄
Tonight we will be streaming a Celebration of Life for Kris Nóva on Nivenly's Twitch starting at 7:15 PM PDT (215am UTC). https://www.twitch.tv/nivenly
DHH essentially saying code-of-conducts on projects he maintains don’t apply to him is deeply troubling. Yes, it’s “only” on how he rudely pushed through a controversial change this time but it exposes a “rules don’t apply to me” mentality that goes way beyond that. And a lot of younger men in the community look up to him and try to emulate him.

I'm writing this from Brooklyn and will probably be at work as you read it. Today's the day I came into this world, and I think about it a lot in the months...
The most difficult thing about writing for me is trying to find a purpose to do so on demand. I've been wanting to give y'all an update but almost daily, a...
I wrote another newsletter entry at https://buttondown.email/jackyalcine/archive/ive-been-laid-off/. Taking this weekend to focus on important things but also to do something I do enjoy doing; and that's tinkering with side projects and/or reading some comics. Tonight, I'll be reading Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search inbetween builds and when I want to take a little thinking break. I'll be working on making #Koype a bit more ready for me to talk about more concretely but from way down the pipe. Right now, I'm focusing on fixing up RPC logic. And yes, there's RPC in my blog setup because it's definitely a lot more than a blog (again, why I need to write more about this, lol). The process of me doing this today: is a bit manual (I write locally, tether over my phone to my laptop, make this post, write it in manual HTML in quill.p3k.io and make sure to syndicate it from my site (though that's just a button in Quill itself to enable). My hope is to write this from some native client on my desktop, pick up my phone - edit it and then open my website and see the final change there. That's because I want to get to a point where I don't have to be online to "blog" or just record my life to the extent that I want to. But again, relaxing. Part of relaxing is allowing myself to dream (lol) and… https://jacky.wtf/2023/9/GGtY

So sorry to hear you've got long Covid 💔
@chriscoyier@front-end.social For everyone who wants to read more, the IndieWeb wiki also lists a few ways to cross-post / syndicate your posts or links (aka POSSE): https://indieweb.org/POSSE
If you’re blogging like I’m doing here, it’s nice to be able to kick your posts out automatically to social networks (in addition to RSS). A reasonable list right now: There are many more sites we’d consider social networks, but they aren’t as obviously a good fit for sharing blog posts. Instagram is a big […]
#TIL about "are the types wrong?" which is a nice little web interface to tell you if you messed up exporting your typescript types. https://arethetypeswrong.github.io/?p=streaming-iterables%408.0.0
stream idea: say you're going to play starfield and just play no man's sky and refuse to acknowledge it
It can often be very helpful to learn from folks in other programming communities. For example, something Rubyists know that JS/TS folks could learn is to not pay any attention to what DHH has to say.
one of the onboarding projects for one of my coworkers was sun-setting a website. turn it into a static site, preserve the URLs, make it obvious that it's there for posterity but no longer being updated. years later she thinks that's one of the most satisfying feels: there is a process for letting things go. 🍂

Sharing my salary publicly (https://www.jvt.me/salary/) I know about a dozen people who've mentioned they've used it to find a better compensated role, and I know a lot of folks are using the data. Sharing privately is awesome, everyone should be talking about these things!

People who keep shouting it's unethical to be on Twitter now I have some fucking questions. You still buying at fast fashion outlets? Driving cars? Flying in airplanes? You eating Tyson Chicken? Do you try to keep slave labor out of your coffee? Or do you just not like evil when it feels a little too in your face?
@voxpelli Just wanted to thank you for all your support and advocacy on StackAid. We've definitely been silent for a while. A few things have come up that demanded our attention elsewhere but we're still very committed to StackAid and are busy renewing our efforts.
Everything that people have forwarded me about developer productivity lately sure is a mojo dojo casa house
I landed a change as part of this release! Great to see jq back with some momentum behind it again. https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases/tag/jq-1.7
Well, this is new. I'm part of something Award Winning! Good job all! https://twitter.com/InfobipDev/status/1700165580181946715?t=EbekRr5yh4qR4FrigHYXuQ&s=19
"Rockstar just proved how important piracy is for game preservation" https://www.dsogaming.com/news/rockstar-just-proved-how-important-piracy-is-for-game-preservation/ > Discovered by modder ‘Silent’, the Steam version of Midnight Club 2 is actually the version that the scene group “Razor 1911” cracked back in 2003. Let me repeat that. Rockstar was selling on Steam a cracked copy of its game. #digipres

V Körbes returns to talk prototyping with Natalie, Johnny & Kris. Is Go good for prototyping? What makes a language prototypable, anyway? How does space radiation fit in to all this? Tune in and ride along to find out!

Life is short. Use the fancy olive oil and the special salt. Drink the expensive wine and the fine spirits you've been saving. Get out the nice plates you're worried will break. Buy the guillotine you've had your eye on. Stake out and learn the routines of billionaires. Blow that rainy day money on turning inside sources. Don't waste your life on what-ifs. Behead them all and let the revolution sing.

Either thumb, I think maybe my left thumb more?
This is a testament to just how hard cybersecurity is. Microsoft had the forethought to not store keys into crash dumps, had the forethought to build a secondary system to double check them, had the forethought to store them on an isolated network, but a cascading failure basically blitzed through all their security controls and allowed nation/state hackers to walk off with critical signing keys.
I'm fascinated by the phenomenon where someone is pushing to add a formal process for something because they don't want to talk to the one person who's doing the thing wrong. Signing the whole industry up for a conflict management course.
I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States. https://t.co/WoMI4XEPhE
Just heard that the second largest city in the UK has gone bankrupt. Went to see if it was on the UK section of The Guardian (so help me) but of course the top item there was about how the Prime Minister “is not backing down” on banning medical assistance for trans youth. That entire country is *fucked*.
