Switched back to paper todo lists. My handwriting is atrocious. 😅

I'm building a writing habit, and recently wrote about three different ways to think about automated testing in software. https://alltestspass.com/three-different-ways-to-think-about-automated-testing/

Three different ways to think about Automated Testing

Whether you're starting on a new project or working inside a long-running application, incorporating automated tests can be intimidating. If you don't have a strategy or guiding principles, working on tests can feel like a distraction from building the actual application. However, a well-built test suite can help engineering teams

To my friends who do lots of OSS work — I have relied on OSS to build many many things in 28 years of getting paid to write software. For that I am grateful. I hope I have never once tried to pressure you into fixing something. I am on Team Get Paid if a company sends someone your way demanding (nicely or otherwise) that you fix a bug for them.

I rewatched the LOTR extended cut for the first time in quite a few years and now I am thinking about how all those Silicon Valley fascists who name their startups after cool swords utterly missed the central thesis that cool guys with cool swords give into the corrupting temptation of power at the drop of a hat and only weed-smoking barefoot hippies were able to get the job done

Honestly a big thing that gets me about the AI programming push is that everything getting the hardest pushes are proprietary, cloud-based products from big companies. I think it's actually extremely dangerous to be centralizing open source development around those, full stop!! It's bad enough if some people feel like they can't write code without a centralizing git forge like GitHub, GitLab, etc. But outsourcing chunks of your ability to write code to a service you can't run feels terrifying.

I’ve written before about what I’d do if I ran Bluesky or Mastodon. But what if I started from scratch? What would it look like to build a new open social platform - one that's private-by-default, human-centered, and sustainable from day one?

Here’s the blueprint I’d follow: https://werd.io/2025/if-i-started-fresh

If I started fresh

How I’d build a resilient, community-first platform for the open web.
