I have no words to thank everyone for helping yesterday.

Great news: Yesterday on the omg.lol IRC server, folks investigated and discovered the GitHub account was part of a network of bots. These bots republish open source projects, modifying their READMEs with malicious links, and distribute Windows malware through fake builds.

After documenting the findings, we reported everything to GitHub. Within hours, they took down the repositories and an account for violating their Terms and Code of Conduct.

Thank you for investigating, reporting, and sending coffee. You're all amazing!

I planned to write a blog post today, but @brennan already wrote something better than I could. You should read it:

Many thanks to @brennan, @chilli, @adam, mattl, @cygnoir, @annika, @jarunmb, and everyone else who helped!

This is beyond fantastic. But maybe you already knew that since it has a million likes in three months. I have to confess, I could only follow the main about half way through. I’m an engineer, not a mathematician! But it was still mesmerizing all the way to the end. https://youtube.com/watch?v=B1J6Ou4q8vE&si=NtCT63dWd9i270sw

Ok, I used the Apple Vision Pro for about 30 minutes. It’s good. It’s expensive. It’s VERY design, and MUCH engineering. I’m intrigued as hell. https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/05/first-impressions-yes-apple-vision-pro-works-and-yes-its-good/

Yet another team at work staring down months of remediation thanks to "modern frontend" has caused me to write down why I've been *intensely* frustrated with the clearly broken market for web technology over our long lost decade:

Thanks to @brucelawson, @heydon, Taylor Hunt, @andy, and @phae for spotting errors in (even more splenetic) drafts.

The Market for Lemons

New web services are being built to a self-defeatingly low UX and performance standard, and existing experiences are now pervasively re-developed on unspeakably slow, JS-taxed stacks. At a business level, this is a disaster, raising the question: why are new teams buying into stacks that have failed so often before?

Very interesting clip on why we all need subtitles these days... (thanks @CleoQc )
