I have a very close friend in Gaza, a mother of three children, who has lost everything and is in need of donations for her family. 

 Please give if you can. No amount of donation is too small. And help others, there are many Gazans in need. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

I’m excited to share that we've added a consequential hint to the WebMCP spec! For site devs: set to true when WebMCP tools may perform a high-stakes action: anything that needs explicit user permission in order to execute. If you’re going to make a purchase, send an email, or book travel.

Hey all. I could really use your support. I'm trying to build up momentum before I launch my book about reinventing work. To do that I need to get on bigger stages. Here is where you come in. I need votes for my SXSW proposal. Can you vote for my session here: participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

I've been thinking about the debate over open and closed AI models. The more I think about it, the more it reminds me of the transition from alchemy to chemistry. History might have more to teach us about AI than we realize. I wrote about why. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-lab...

She doesn't say she's sad. She doesn't say he will be missed. Her emotions are pojnted to his family only.

Yes, but I'm surprised that this is the reaction no matter who it is. If Trump died I'm sure some people would cry. Those aren't MY people, but they would care. No one seems to care about this death. No one.

I've seen a lot of videos about his death and I haven't hear one person getting emotional. That's... Sad.

Erling Haaland♥️ * Vocal supporter of men cooking and cleaning * Self-aware of the historical context of the vikings ("Yes viking history is incredible. But a lot of things were not good... what they did. Let's be honest.") * Vocal anti-racist who used his platform to defend UK players from UK fans
Erling Haaland quote from Twitter:

"I don't understand why there is still room for racism and discrimination. We will never tire of fighting against any form of discrimination. Instead of being applauded for having the courage to take the penalties, these young men are attacked with racist insults. I am speechless."

@gottalaff.bsky.social Are you tracking that they may be doing this, allowing Russia back in, because the same case can be made against USA participation due to our aggressive actions against other countries?

I sincerely hope the DevRel Foundation is able to recover, refocus, and become successful in my absence. I wish the people involved the clarity, care, and leadership needed to move the work forward in a healthier way.

Wesley Faulkner @wesley83.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
I joined and served because I care deeply about DevRel as a profession and wanted to contribute to a community that supports, strengthens, and sustains the people doing this work. That commitment has not changed.

The environment has become unhealthy for me to continue participating in good faith, and I am not able to be effective in this role under the current conditions.

Wesley Faulkner @wesley83.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
Effective immediately, I am resigning as Chair of the DevRel Foundation. This was not an easy decision, but it has become clear that I am no longer aligned with the direction, culture, or spirit in which the group is currently being run.

I would suggest to not even reply to the post. Especially if you didn't read it. What would your suggestion be?

I'm sure they have a plan B, since it was a well planned event and they knew it was a possibility since it was outdoors.

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

Goodbye, forever, probably.
I’m leaving developer relations and developer education. Rather than disappear completely unannounced, I wanted to tell you why.

It would be interesting to see a court debate where both side are putting a number of how many kids Elon killed. Is the defense that he killed more or less than 4.5 million?

I propose a concept for a News Program called "One Question". The premise of the show is that the host asks a politician one question and the show keeps going until the person answers the questions.

What doesn't make sense to me is why there is a meeting at all with Trump. If we need more equipment isn't there someone else that can place an order on the government's behalf? What is the meeting even for?

I can see some very strong pros and cons to her being the Republican nominee for president. If it happens so many heads would explode.
