I lead githubnext.com 💫 I use bsky mostly for professional things. So this is my 🌶️ spicy LinkedIn. My thoughts are mine, not my employer's. Personal/political stuff on Mastodon: https://babka.social/@idan
I am wondering if in the future it will be: - my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space) - we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)
There should be a zero-width joiner that allows me to flip any emoji directionally. Like I want 🤞 to have a horizontally mirrored variant so I can emoji "both fingers crossed" but have it look like a left and right hand instead of two right hands
Lettermatic ✕ GitHub Next: the inside story of Monaspace, a truly groundbreaking advancement for how we display code. We knew that Lettermatic would go deep, but we were still amazed by their level of knowledge and craft. See their case study below, and get the fonts at monaspace.githubnext.com

This week on Overcommitted, we talk with Idan Gazit, the head of research at GitHub next. His team created the original GitHub copilot. He shares with us what innovation work actually looks like from the inside.
We're super jazzed to be launching GitHub Agentic Workflows into technical preview today! "Generative AI" kind of fooled us into thinking that AI is synchronous, but async AI can have so much more value for us as developers. 🧵 github.blog/ai-and-ml/au...

I have crappy vision. I bump up the text size on my phone to make it easier for me to see. Half of my apps have weird text overflow bugs as a result. Thanks, I hate it
I bought pumpkin spice Milano cookies and they were not worth it. Mint Milanos remain the GOAT

The Svelte 5 guide has everything from reactivity and how it works, when to use and avoid effects, events, bindings, components and composition, transitions and animations to using third party libraries and making external systems reactive. 🔥
Sensationalist news be like: "Octocat to be executed at dawn by firing squad" I've lived through integration apocalypses before at Heroku/Salesforce. This is not that. GitHub is still GitHub despite the gods playing musical chairs up there on Mt. Olympus.

This recording of Billie Marten's Crown is warm, reverby, lush. Three guitars, a bass, a muffled drum kit, and all of them are doing different things. I've listened to this on repeat just trying to make out what each instrument is doing and it's sublime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhKo...

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠 I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it! Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Website: ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon. To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction? Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !

In each and every generation, a person is obligated to see himself as if he left Egypt Happy passover to all ❤️
2024 was a year of endings for me. I stopped using tools like Twitter which have been central to my life and career. I stopped consuming sources of news that I've consumed for decades. These things ache sometimes like lost limbs. I think that maybe a lot of us are in this vibe, together but alone
The Verge is shitty journalism no matter how many readers it has. Some stuff is good, but their spicier takes verge on (badumtss) tabloid gossip and thinly veiled editorial agendas. Much like techbros pretend that their opinions are valid in fields they don't understand.
