While it sounds amazign that Fable 5 can solve Pokémon, let's not forget, that a single regex could do the same. Watch this talk of Alex Clemmer www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-HT...

Al-generated slides are the new Comic Sans. A left-bordered accent on a needlessly numberes box is about as novel as a Studio Ghibli avatar. To me this reads as: The author didn't care about the packaging, so they probably didn't care about the content either.

A great article about why we shouldn't use the disabled attribute on input elements and what we could do instead to keep things accessible. Rethinking the "disabled norm": 7 patterns to use instead in your design system zeroheight.com/blog/rethink...
Rethinking the "disabled norm": 7 patterns to use instead in your design system - zeroheight
Chela Giraldo explains how disabled states harm accessibility and what to do instead to build clearer, more inclusive user interfaces.

I found a cool library that allows you to animate text of any font. It is called tegaki and I created a sli.dev addon for it: andreas-taranetz.github.io/slidev-addon...
Spending tokens as a developer feels like spending mana as a mage in an RPG 🧙 If you have burnt through your pool this early in the month I would suggest you'll take a long rest 🔥⛺
It's not a bug, it's a redesign... Am I the only one around here who notices more and more bugs in everyday software? I know this one is a minor thing that I have cause countless times myself, but some days it feels like the internet is slowly falling appart.
Big evolutions in hardware often come with new ways of input. This is **not** one of them, but the Surface Keyboard is still a really cool feature meta dropped in the public testing channel.
Meta cooked 🧑🍳 i just got their newest experimental feature for the quest called surface keyboard. It even works surprisingly well in travel mode on the train.
I whish I would have known about this git feature earlier... Maybe you are one of the lucky 10.000 today xkcd.com/1053/
My new favorite alias: alias gho="gh pr view >/dev/null 2>&1 && gh pr view -w || gh pr create --web" If there already is a PR for your current branch, open it in the browser, if not, open the create view. It even prompts you to push your branch to the remote in case you forgot.
This is not a typo: npm isntall-clean is a valid alias for npm ci Don't open an issue, it is intended behavior 🫣
Many software developers (myself included) dream of creating video games for a living. Sounds like a fantasy? Since video games are an art form, I guess what we really dream of is creating art all day. 👩🎨🖼️ Seems like a very human thing to me.
I know Halloween is over, but here is something truly haunting for you scope-creep.xyz
The Scope Creep
A chilling tale of deliverables, deadlines and doomed decisions

"... you have been put to work to make automation work. That's not how automation is supposed to work" - @edzitron.com We have started with prompt engineering. Now we are context engineering. Maybe we should just get better at actual engineering.
If you ever need to figure out what's going on in your system, check the /proc folder. Aivars Kalvāns walked us through the proc filesystem and showed us where to find everything from the arguments a process was started with to its open network connections. #CloudNativeDaysAustria
Finally a solution to the 💩 in 💩out issue all observability tools face. @dominik.suess.wtf showed us how OTel Weaver can ensure different teams use the same names and data types for the same kind of data. It uses metric defintions to generate code / docs / dashboards #CloudNativeDaysAustria
Another tool I need to check out: Sigstore - the Let's encrypt of supply chain security - as Stephan Kraft put it. #CloudNativeDaysAustria
How do you find issues that involve your service mesh's side car proxies? You need to make them less transparent and include them in your traces. Konrad Renner showed us how it's done at #CloudNativeDaysAustria
You might not need to build your own controller for custom resources. Instead you could use KRO and its resource graph definition as @yveshwang.bsky.social showed us. #CloudNativeDaysAustria
Day 2 of #CloudNativeDaysAustria was kicked off by @lauratacho.com She explained why DX still matters and how to communicate this to your management. Pro tip: use the venn diagram from her presentation 😉
Today @t-sc.eu shared his learnings from karriere.at about how platform engineers can actually improve the experience for developers (especially of microservices) instead of just forcing them to learn yet another tool. #CloudNativeDaysAustria
@adrianamvillela.bsky.social and @joshleecreates.bsky.social showed us why OTEL didn't follow the pattern of xkcd.com/927/ Great talk! It always helps to understand where the purpose of one tool ends and others need to take over. #CloudNativeDaysAustria
Sarah Christoff gave us a nice refresher about solving deadlocks. I wouldn't have considered the resources themselves to be part of a possible solution (by requiring certain procedures to update their state) #CloudNativeDaysAustria
I want more websites to have little whimsical touches, like @vitest.dev's feature overview. vitest.dev/guide/featur... Aligned with the vibe of the product, making the important things stand out without being distracting. 👏👏👏
I'm glad the weather was better on the second day of this year's #WeAreDevelopers World Congress, so I could give my talk on working API first on the Open Air stage youtu.be/OLPfuIfcwb8

I won 2nd place but all I got was new knowledge. Thanks to @lirantal.com for packing the dry topic of security into a fun quiz. #WeAreDevelopers
