This is the reason I refuse to give Amazon my money in any way, shape or form it takes. I will never condone this behaviour.

Have you noticed that most former Agile coaches are now AI coaches? Make of that what you will. 😅

To avoid future problems, I can recommend using a password manager. I personally recommend @1password.bsky.social

Using AI tools to generate, suggest or refactor code is fine, but you are fully responsible for every line that ends up in the codebase. Do not merge AI-generated code without reviewing it, understanding it and verifying that it meets the same quality bar as hand-written code.

🚨 Emergency DevSec Station Drop There's an active npm supply chain attack happening right now. Compromised packages are stealing SSH keys, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens, browser passwords, and crypto wallets on install. Then using your publish token to infect every package you maintain. 1/2

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com
Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan

This is a nice overview of why I prefer wolverine over other alternatives. Especially the support for the A-Frame pattern. The features about side effects, cascading messages and compound handlers really complement this pattern.

I enjoy the insights. If you can do that in a short post, great. If you need a series to convey the insights, then it's a delayed great because I need more time to read and digest it. So I enjoy both formats.

I follow what is happening in the AI/LLM/agents space as closely as I can. Lately, it sometimes feels like backstepping into the last millennium: "We need a correct, complete specification so that agents can then implement it." Replace agents with developers, and it sounds like pre-2000. 1/3

I've been wondering the same thing. The concept is cool, but I can't find a practical use case. And what happens when you have multiple copies of a browser open and you restart the machine. Do they all open the tabs from last time, does only one and you lose a bunch of tabs.

This is why I love @vivaldi.com, they take security and privacy seriously. I bet they have a decent password manager, but I want to use @1password.bsky.social (not sure if it's the right account) and this browser lets me do just that.

Submitted 2 security issues to NuGet and GitHub last year, finally heard back that they are low priority and not a big deal. I did manage to publish this package to NuGet. A bunch of unicode in there, but it looks genuine, right? Nobody would discover this via search because of the unicode.
