I have no idea if cloudflare OS is going to be any good, but call it a sandstorm remake and I'm paying attention.

If I had to drop @jj-vcs.dev I honestly don't know what I would do with myself. The megamerge workflow is so incredibly powerful for me that my brain short circuits trying to do anything else isaaccorbrey.com/notes/jujuts...

I spent an hour today arguing to delay a feature launch, only to realize my fear was a one-way door that existed pre-agents, but now the cleanup project from this category of mistake is much easier. Never ceases to amaze me how radically the assumptions have changed.

I still believe code review is necessary for many reasons, but I don't think I'll be putting code in front of a human without running it through an LLM ever again. It would be inconsiderate to the reviewer not too.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
I showed Gas Town to my business partner Rich and he said “oh it's SOAP/WSDL for agents” and I am still processing that.
The #tokioconf speakers and talks just got posted: www.tokioconf.com Ticket sales are open! Since it is our first conference, it is hard to estimate how many people will come. We're starting conservative, only 200 tickets right now.
TokioConf 2026 | Be a Part of Tokio's Official Conference!
Join 300+ developers at the inaugural TokioConf 2026 to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and explore the future of async Rust. Hosted by the Tokio Project

We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat. We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.
For Rust people interested in async code at TokioConf, I'll see y'all in April!
