All this is to say what looks like a basic dependency update might actually be a huge change in disguise. Review your lock files, your install size, bundle size, dependency count, etc. Check the new versions on @npmx.dev - it can even diff them. Look closer 🔎

Advice for junior developers: If you get in, strap yourself to the mast. The industry is a period of rapid change. We don’t know what the next six months will look let alone the next six years. However, getting experience on your resume won’t hurt you.

Dead serious I think Atmosphere in a Box might be one of the best DevEX things I've ever created. Dropped it in to remove a railway dependency on one product already. Released 0.7.0 last night adding dynamic network allocation, wildcard domains, jwks secret generation, and stronger CI examples.

It was really hard to find a good tech podcast that kept me up to date with industry trends. So many of them are now AI-brained in the worst way: talking about stuff that won’t help me land my next job. Golf clap for using an agent to setup a printer, that’s not going to help me nail an interview

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

I was talking to a former manager about the state of the tech job market and the weirdness around AI. No two companies have the same perspective on AI, I’ve found. He agreed and added that companies have open positions but are fishing for what the actual roles should be

In my first real run of ai/agentic coding for work and it reminds me of IBM’s infamous KLOCs from decades ago. Instead of lines of code though its features shipped. Is the feature good? Does it work outside of my AI environment? Doesn’t matter. We just need to ship more features

There’s an argument to be made that AI coding assistants make it easy for experienced devs to switch to new languages. That good fundamentals are what matters now. But reader would it surprise you if I were to say if anything hiring managers are even more strict now?

My take is the horse has left the barn and in 5~10 years 90% of AI usage will be on open source models running locally. It’s like what we see with Nginx or Apache HTTP Server today. That other 10% is what Anthropic, and OpenAi are fighting over
