I think this reduces to an adjacent yet similarly interesting question: When, if ever, will Software Engineering have its “Tacoma Narrows” incident? *Can* we possibly make such a grave error that the entire industry is forced to rise to a new level of professionalism and rigor? If so, what is it?

Watched Spirited Away yesterday because Studio Ghibli has been on my mind. If No-Face isn’t a perfect characterization of genAI, I don’t know what is. The sooner we recognize that we will never satisfy an insatiable beast and their apparent gold rush is a mirage, the better.

Hey you know, just a gentle reminder. These are tough times. They’re tough for everyone in different ways, in different spectrums, because SO many important things are under attack. Let’s try to be kind to one another, ok? It doesn’t cost much. We’re stronger when we show each other grace.

NEW: Tesla will recall nearly all the Cybertrucks it has produced to repair a stainless steel trim panel that the carmaker said could become detached from the vehicle while driving. It’s the eighth recall for the distinctive all-electric pickup, which hit US roads just over two years ago.

Nearly All Cybertrucks Have Been Recalled Because Tesla Used the Wrong Glue
Tesla says it will fix the sticky issue—which could cause panels to detach from trucks while driving—with a new adhesive “not prone to environmental embrittlement.”

when i joined Bluesky, i wasn’t planning to take a job. but Bluesky fit a perfect intersection of my interests (react, open source, microblogging), and i couldn’t pass an opportunity to contribute. with the app being more polished and atproto better understood, it’s a good moment for me to move on.

For anyone curious about how I feel with the ban getting lifted half a day later: Mostly frustrated that we live in this timeline where oligarchs play tiddlywinks with our lives. Glad it’s back, but not excited about the implications. Restricting replies cause I don’t need yesterday all over.

narrowed down the issue with unintentional taps during feed swipe on Android to this minimal reproducing case. it has something to do with Reanimated? believe me or not, if i either: - remove `unused` state - stop passing `unused2` value - remove <Noop /> that renders nothing the bug goes away 🥴

10. Over time, the PM role shifts from being a team's most prestigious, well-paid job to being treated as "unimportant admin work" they shove onto underpaid women. And so, the cycle of systemic devaluation of women’s labour continues, while men are rewarded for refusing to step up. /end 🧵
