Very happily just paid my 12th year subscription to Feedbin. Rock solid, never have to think about it, and has gotten some nice capabilities over the years, like the ability to subscribe to newsletters via email and have it pipe into the feed reader instead. Highly recommended.

This morning, @dfreeman.io and I were chatting about various tradeoffs in extension points for programming languages for e.g. UI—including an off-hand reference to @ltratt.bsky.social’s group’s 2010s work—and simultaneously typed roughly “I could totally see doing a C.S. Ph.D. focused on this.” 😂

Pretty sure v6.chriskrycho.com is going to end up shipping in 2026, not 2025 like I hoped… because I just hit the end of my rope with one particular thing and yeah, I’m shaving a yak I kept telling myself not to shave (details revealed later). But it’ll be a really fun learning experience! 😂

Congrats to Marco Arment and David Smith for the really lovely 10-year-run that was Under the Radar. It was always one of my favorite shows, and I’ll miss having it show up in Overcast every two weeks, but there’s a real goodness to ending something when its time has come. 🥂

I was 38 years old when I decided, inspired by a friend, that to the store of Scripture I have memorized (most of Hebrews and Ephesians still tumbling around l!), it was time to claim my inheritance and memorize some great English #poetry. I started with Emma Lazarus’ The New Colossus. Next: TBD!

Just another data point in the search engine space: I’ve been paying for @kagi.com for 6+ months and I am extremely happy with it. Even the limited applications of LLMs are done well, stay out of the way, and are totally disable-able. I *love* being able to reprioritize and even block whole domains.

Do you remember when the GitHub blog was a source of good technical material? Long ago.

👀 Navigation API will be available in all browsers soon 🎉

Completely redefines the APIs used to build client-side routers / SPAs

🫤 History API: popState, link click.preventDefault() ...

✅ Navigation API: clean, centralized way to intercept navigation events 👌

We just showed our girls “Rose” (Doctor Who Series 1.1) for the first time. They agreed that 1.1 was pretty cheesily done and hard to follow audio-wise (the mix is atrocious!)… and also already think the Doctor is great. “I love that guy!” our 13-year-old kept repeating. 😂

Took a look at the new #8020Endurance Norwegian-style training plans norwegiantraining.com and… I’m pretty excited to use one of these as part of my build for Boston 2026! Just have to get my back fully healed up over the next six weeks. 🤞🏼

Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉

By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥

V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

Delighted to see my dear friend Jane Scharl’s verse plays reviewed in Mere Orthodoxy today! mereorthodoxy.com/the-case-for...
The Case for Bringing Back Verse Plays
Though barely attempted today, plays written in verse were once quite common. J. C. Scharl's latest is a triumph for the genre and a joy to read.

Oh, and for at least some of my audience I may have buried the lede on this: this neat unusual programming language is implemented in Rust!
Had a chance to catch up with @adamchalmers.com a bit this morning and hear some of the cool stuff they’re doing at zoo.dev – if you’re a person in the US with programming languages experience looking to work on a really interesting language, you should check out this role: zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...

15,066.6̅% is a pretty good new listener rate. 😂
Beginning to think that Spotify’s stats are maybe not that coherent. Something *literally* does not add up here. 😂 Whoops.

(Bugs like this happen, and with large enough audiences this particular bug probably gets lots in the noise—but not with mine!—, so it’s extra funny in this case.)
