Drupal CMS 2.0 performance testing prior to launch wins!

We tested early, found issues (CSS duplication, caching problems), and the community responded quickly. Most fixes already merged!

This is open source at its best. Proactive testing + fast collaboration = better software for everyone.

Long ago, I was an angry young man who railed against all the injustices of the world, but time has passed, I have matured and learned so much more about things, and now I am an angrier old man.

I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up debugging it (for the day) after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in five minutes.

A small case study of extremely useful AI tasks which are not generating a bunch of code that then requires review.

More of this please, shared e-bikes with child seats.

Lime deploys 500 e-bikes with child seats in Paris. 2/3 of parents willing to give up their cars for such a solution.

What'd I miss?

components know:
- user stuff
- device stuff
- app stuff
- design stuff
- what stuff is in them
- what stuff they're inside
- etc

It's amazing how much a component can know on the web, and I'm going to try and list it all out. Help me 🤓

Web elements know about the user, device, variables, layout and more · October 30, 2025

As Miriam Suzanne says "containers know stuff," but like, how much stuff?

TIL how to get the size of a PR in a @golang project still using vendoring, and not counting the size of the vendor/ but just the actual changes. Key here is (exclude):

git diff --shortstat master...HEAD -- . ':(exclude)vendor/'

#git magic FTW
