One forever-project of mine is (classic) redesign of my personal website: I started this like 2 years ago. It's just an excuse for me to tinker around. But one depressing realization: The design – even though predating claude code – looks very much like design-by-claude due to the color choices 😭

TIL when running Vitest browser mode (or plain Playwright) on Github Actions on Ubuntu, you can skip the slow "playwright install chromium" step completely by providing channel option. This makes Playwright use the pre-installed Chrome. So many projects out there that could speed their CIs with this

most of these github actions driven breaches are because of pull_request_target. here's some tips of what to look for when reviewing your own workflows. worth noting - it is safe, and necessary, when used correctly 🧵

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice. We noticed. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Got #iOS26 on my iPad Pro…and it feels like a skeuomorphic step backwards. It’s early days, but it feels like Windows Vista on an iPad. I tend to be optimistic, but this is not the direction that I thought design was going this late into the 21st-century. WE WANT LCARS

I really wish Disposables were inherited through closures. But that's not the case. You have to dispose of them manually if you wrap them in a function. This will be solved with disposable stacks though.

Standard Schema is a specification (a TypeScript interface in fact) not a library. It was designed collaboratively by myself (creator of Zod 👋), @fabianhiller.com (creator of Valibot), and @ssalbdivad.dev (creator of ArkType). It’s the final form of something I tweeted nearly two years ago.

BIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev

Well, in the end it took the whole evening to build this ”new” desk setup, but it was worth it 🤩 Only new things are my DIY desk shelf / organizer and some ambient lights behind both displays. The camera and video lighting setup is not final one, but pretty close to my plans.
