- this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
- A baseball practice facility opened up nearby, and I really recommend an hour in the batting cage as the best way to turn unproductive feelings into being sore in a bunch of weird places
- Made lemon bars and a sort of lemon tiramisu for my boyfriend's birthday. I'm all lemon'ed out.
- do you have recipes to share? i have a lemon tree and am always looking for ways to use lemons
- This is the lemon bar recipe I did sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-bars-r... and here is the tiramisu tastesbetterfromscratch.com/lemon-tirami...
- @chadwhitacre.com are the clips of hard labour moving huge rocks a visual metaphor for open source maintenance? 😄
- It's art, maaaaaaaaaaaan, it's whatever it means to youuuuuuuuuuu. 😎 🤣
- Oh I've missed the Mediterranean produce 😍
- Looking for prior art: dissecting GitHub repos into sub-projects, specifically in monorepos.
- What if I told you that the secret to software supply chain security has nothing to do with the supply chain?

- my past sins have exposed me as inhuman github.com/search?q=rep...
- Today was my last day at GitHub/npm. I've been doing this for nearly 25 years, so I've accrued quite a bit of expertise. If you're looking for someone that is an experienced programmer with a passion for data in all forms (databases, apis, protocols, etc.) please reach out.
- Yoooo. Holler at my DMs
- pretty wild to see Microsoft laying off a number of people who are critical touch points with core developer communities seems exceptionally short-sighted
- Hi!! What’s up!! I’ve been laid off from GitHub, so if I don’t respond to your emails, it’s FINALLY not my fault 😘 sorry in advance. The past 5 years were an honor and a joy, because wow, OSS maintainers are a kind bunch. Grateful I got to run one last Maintainer Summit before leaving 💓
- DevRel was hit hard today, please share job referrals under Ashley's post. (I'm safe, for now, as far as I know, but some fantastic colleagues were impacted.)

- six sided stickers, in this economy??
- After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.
- Those layoffs don't make any sense, those companies should be ashamed of themselves. Wishing you all the best.
- Inexplicable ending given the intersection of your product's success and the company's financial position. But I know you'll go on to better things. Until then, please take it easy 😉
- This is sad and obnoxious. You've put an incredible amount of time, energy, and care into JavaScript & TypeScript & TC39. Microsoft is losing an absolute MVP.
- For any bike enthusiasts with a couple hours to kill this explanation of the physics of bicycles is incredible. The introductory physics takes a while but you are rewarded with the best explanation of why bicycles don't fall over out there (it isn't just angular momentum!) ciechanow.ski/bicycle/
- Short thread about how I tripped and fell on a $1500 Cursor auth bypass (mostly because burp suite is rad)

- we all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you (honestly there are way too many)

- My heart is still so incredibly sad about the passing of Scott Hutchinson when his music got me through so many lows and made me feel a little less alone in my depression
- if a person is raised in a guess culture and is therefore socialized to always try to understand what a person is really asking/saying in between the lines, what happens when they encounter a person who is very straightforward and clear cut when speaking?
- they changed new music release day from tuesday to friday in 2015 and everything was downhill from there. something to think about
- For the record the secret logo is @vlt.sh! Now I will never forget your logo! 😂
- Yesterday, @opensourcepledge.com was on Nasdaq Tower in Times Square. I got to be there for it! Thank you to Nasdaq and congratulations to all of the featured companies who #paythemaintainers! 👏 What a great way to keep celebrating #maintainermonth! 💃
- 39th lap
- TIL I have my own tag on @simonwillison.net’s blog (simonwillison.net/tags/sam-rose/). I’m so honoured 🥹
- I think I stumbled upon something pretty cool today.

- I finally posted my writeup on my Steam Machine project bret.io/blog/2025/yo...

- Timeline cleanse. Enjoy some peeps of fresh chicks the neighbor recently gave us.
- "“I’m basically taking Elon at his word,” he admits." This says a lot.
- So, I had an interesting conversation last week. For @fastcompany.com, I spoke with Sahil Lavingia, the founder of Gumroad, on his decision to work at the VA, a role he has thanks to DOGE. He was remarkably transparent. www.fastcompany.com/91330297/dog... (Gift link)
- you do not, in fact, gotta hand it to Elon Musk
- Perfect. I can bind the “action” button on my phone to “buy a new phone”.
- all ears? nah man, I'm like 1% ears at best, i only got two of 'em and they're pretty small

- This V8 upgrade was particularly difficult and overdue but had to be done for v24, and it finally landed 🎉 Now v24 can finally progress after missing the April 23 deadline github.com/nodejs/node/... Some explanations about why it took so long from the parts I know (@targos.dev probably knows more)
- i feel like 13.4 and onwards have been especially painful. each one seems to contain some sort of game breaking bug or huge change to the way v8 works that makes it extremely difficult to upgrade.
- Shewww
- new @syntax.fm hat is making me feel like i could get selected in the 1993 nba draft! sentry.shop/products/int... how much extra for me to wear an oversized suit and have @wesbos.com hand it to me and shake my hand like i'm shawn bradley?
- ✂️ i may or may not have released another knip but today's kicker is 10M monthly npm downloads 🤯 with 135 contributors, 300 PRs merged and 750 issues closed, we happily keep cutting edges 😊
- Now I will never forget it! 😁
- very cool! (and that logo is us over at @vlt.sh)
