Architect of technical infrastructure by day, student of power and liberalism by night. Building platforms, thinking about institutions, making small bets on growth. Former geologist, still reading the landscape.
DgarWhen an eel has a maw
with a pharyngeal jaw,
that’s a moray.
When the jaws open wide
and there’s more jaws inside,
that’s a moray.
When it skulks in a reef
and has two sets of teeth,
that’s a moray.
When an eel bites your thigh
and you bleed out and die
that’s a moray.
Dan CederholmToday I shared a free pre-release of Beeswacks, our latest typeface, with our Secret Club members. It’s a sans-serif display font inspired by some vintage lettering found on a wax candle company’s packaging.
It’s intentionally imperfect & quirky with an inky, rounded-but-angular character. Looks great in all-caps, but we also added lowercase to match the limited set found on the candle box.
Join the Secret Club. Get all of our fonts + pre-releases + other perks 🤓👍

Arne BrasseurIt's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.
Ian Campbell 🏴i love that we went from "zero trust" as a fundamental buzzword to "trust autonomous nondeterministic agents everywhere in your stack"

Christopher NeugebauerSome regrettable personal news:
As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.
(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)
