I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Tinder is testing a mandatory video selfie “Face Check” in California to fight AI bots and catfishing.
If it works, it’s going nationwide.
I expect more apps to add tools like this as AI makes it harder to tell who’s real.

The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act is the first law to name and distinguish free and open source software.
It separates open source hosts from commercial manufacturers—a recognition many have pushed for across Europe for years.
Progress, at last.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The idea that prompt engineering would be a major new career path created by AI waa always silly.

Looks like I'll be looking for a new job by the end of April, if you've got any leads for senior dev remote positions in Angular / Node, feel free to reach out!
I've been working on devtools for Angular for the last 4+ years, but I'm not against some change. Maybe it's time to learn rust?
