Over the weekend, I wrote about some of the details of the culture at @oxidecomputer:

Today on Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I are going to talk about cultural idiosyncrasies, both at Oxide and elsewhere. Come for the hot takes on formal performance review -- stay for the hot takes on engineering metrics!

Come out for an after work community social and meet other people in tech in Vancouver. No agenda, no speeches, just come out and meet other interesting people. Bring some out of town visitors...

Also: I'm co-organizing a #VancouverHackDay on Sunday, April 7th -- Bluesky ATProtocol hacking w/ @weswalla, decentralized compute @everywherecomputer with me, & local first software with @daffl https://lu.ma/jh8fnap8

I've got a desk in #Gastown again as of April 1st: I'm looking forward to doing more things like this.

@toxi @fission we’re working on a Wasm-based function directory so this is very inspiring.
I'm sure I am not the first to have remarked on this, but I'm finding that coding with copilot really rewards a good coding style in general. Like it has a much easier time filling in details thoroughly and correctly if I write a module "the most obvious way", and stick to non-clever, obvious 1-task functions with clear names, and equip each with a thorough comment explaining what it's doing and why. Which is the kind of work my better-self _wants_ to be doing all the time. The thing is just nudging me fairly hard to listen to that better self, because if I get too clever, terse or opaque in my work it'll stop helping.

Hey #rust #rustlang bubble - I am giving up maintainership of the "config" crate: https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs/issues/549

If someone wants to take over, now's your time.

#maintainer #github #repository  🦀   

Please boost to your rustlang bubbles.

Maintainer wanted · Issue #549 · mehcode/config-rs

This project needs more/new maintainers. I took over maintainership in 2019 (IIRC) during a project at my employer back then, because I needed fixes/changes in this crate to fulfill my task at work...

Are you using IPLD in a cool way? Or do you know a project that is? If so, please tell me about it! It doesn't have to be fancy computer science magic — I'm interested in "plumbing that gets the job done."

For those who don't know IPLD: https://ipld.io/.

IPLD - The data model of the content-addressable web

The data model of the content-addressable web. It allows us to treat all hash-linked data structures as subsets of a unified information space, unifying all data models that link data with hashes as instances of IPLD.
