A Letter from WIRED's Editor @katie-drummond.bsky.social:

Ever since Elon Musk backed Trump’s presidential bid last year, we've been tracking his growing influence in politics. We’ve talked to people within federal agencies and experts in cybersecurity, AI, and medicine about his potential impact.

thank goodness senior devs just spring fully formed into being
An influential person just said that there's no need for junior devs and mid-senior level devs.

I'm going to go get better at making food or playing the guitar.

Si vous ne le saviez pas, il y a une distribution K8s qui tourne dans Docker Desktop (et bientôt une 2ème) - et mon outil préféré pour se connecter à K8s, c'est K9s, que vous pouvez tout à fait exécuter dans un container, pour ce connecter au contexte docker-desktop

Suchir Balaji's mom shares that their private investigation shows that his death wasn't a suicide

Suchir is a former Open AI researcher and whistleblower who raised legal concerns about ChatGPT

I hope his case is investigated more thoroughly

Encountered an issue at work last week using Japa from the @adonisjs.com team during a debug of a test.

If the server throws a 500 we can’t analyse the return as the package throws an error and we can’t assert against it

So I made a PR that have just been merged !

best node framework

using it in production since the past year, such a pleasure
Great to see steady growth since the release of AdonisJS 6 (almost a year ago). Let’s keep pushing the @nodejs.org ecosystem forward!

I’m currently developing PTSD from Teams notifs
About a year ago I stopped using Slack / Discord on a daily basis

It’s surprising how much “headspace” I’ve gotten back

While this is not an option at most workplaces: made me wonder if invasive chat applications are perhaps not always necessarily a net positive?
