v0.71.0 🚀 New: WorkerLoader binding, LogPushJob, bun‑spa → multi‑entry. Fixes 🛠️: CF bindings (duplex + R2 jurisdiction), CLI init cleanup, on‑demand containers, dev assets/buckets, DLQ, stricter IDs. Less friction. More shipping. ⚡️
Oh I forgot to check here in awhile, what's up fam!?
I think this reduces to an adjacent yet similarly interesting question: When, if ever, will Software Engineering have its “Tacoma Narrows” incident? *Can* we possibly make such a grave error that the entire industry is forced to rise to a new level of professionalism and rigor? If so, what is it?
how many times does AI have to fuck up production systems, expose secrets, or give unintentionally elevated access before the majority of folks think it’s a bad idea? looking for a ballpark estimate, because I know we’re past my threshold already
pumped to hang with @JacobMGEvans tomorrow on the showwwwww to talk about how he leveraged x to find a job!! going to be a great one especially if you want to learn more about how to use x to network!
Got a job! Staff Software Engineer at Whop looking forward to working with everyone!!
Been continuing to iterate on ideas, and inspirations from Cyberpunk aesthetics for my website, less visible I moved everything from SSR HTML templates on a CF Worker to Worker + Vite + React for some future features with Durable Objects and live map jacobmgevans.com

I'm so incredibly proud of #SlowWays! ❤️ @slowwaysuk.bsky.social Here's a short thread of maps to show what we've achieved so far - thanks to the efforts of thousands of volunteers. This first map shows 5,500 routes that have been given good reviews 👍 or are verified 🐌✅
Watched Spirited Away yesterday because Studio Ghibli has been on my mind. If No-Face isn’t a perfect characterization of genAI, I don’t know what is. The sooner we recognize that we will never satisfy an insatiable beast and their apparent gold rush is a mirage, the better.
this “more” button alignment is killing me, can something be done about it pls
Hey you know, just a gentle reminder. These are tough times. They’re tough for everyone in different ways, in different spectrums, because SO many important things are under attack. Let’s try to be kind to one another, ok? It doesn’t cost much. We’re stronger when we show each other grace.
Just checking in on any fellow Veterans with everything going on. You good, need someone to talk too
NEW: Tesla will recall nearly all the Cybertrucks it has produced to repair a stainless steel trim panel that the carmaker said could become detached from the vehicle while driving. It’s the eighth recall for the distinctive all-electric pickup, which hit US roads just over two years ago.
Nearly All Cybertrucks Have Been Recalled Because Tesla Used the Wrong Glue
Tesla says it will fix the sticky issue—which could cause panels to detach from trucks while driving—with a new adhesive “not prone to environmental embrittlement.”

CLAUDE AI CAN FINALLY SEARCH THE WEB! The best part, it includes CITATIONS! Love seeing this. Cloud 3.7 has become one of my go-to models, especially for coding-related questions. I feel like it has been really good at what it does. Plus, its UI capabilities are incredible!
Neurodivergent Senior software engineers, how do you go about the interviews? Any advice you learned the hard way?
Just finished the impl of node:crypto ECDH for Cloudflare workers. Once that lands, node:crypto support in Cloudflare workers is generally complete modulo some small nits for stuff we won't support.
This was 💯 % my goal when working on 🔮 query.gg. You shouldn't need to re-learn everything just because some APIs change in the future. The concepts we're teaching - observers, staleTime, hierarchical keys etc - are what matters to work effectively with @tanstack.com react query
The Official React Query Course - 🔮 query.gg
Master React Query with mystifying ease. Built in collaboration with the React Query core team.
query.gg
No good course becomes obsolete because its dependency changed. If it does, that is a bad material and you should probably reconsider it for the future. Good education uses tools to teach you patterns and techniques, and those still apply no matter the API changes.

when i joined Bluesky, i wasn’t planning to take a job. but Bluesky fit a perfect intersection of my interests (react, open source, microblogging), and i couldn’t pass an opportunity to contribute. with the app being more polished and atproto better understood, it’s a good moment for me to move on.
bittersweet news: today is my last day at Bluesky. 💙 i’m very thankful to the team for letting me learn many new things on the job (including React Native). i’m wishing them luck in the improbable — but inevitable — task of making decentralized social media usable and competitive.
✍️ I did an explainer on the CPU and GPU and how they coordinate tasks between them. Going to a series on rendering💥

I sense a niche and challenging market for products...
Why does the Venn diagram of "tech products that bring in revenue" and "products I find interesting enough to overcome my ADHD" tend to be two separate circles? Most people I share this struggle with can't relate, but if I'm bored just reading the job description, I can't fathom succeeding at it.
Anyone in the government sector (preferably state or county level) that wants their stuff rewrote, maybe still CRM features?
Yep! Not that uncommon either. Here's a post from 2020 that says WH dot gov moved to WordPress in 2017. publishpress.com/blog/us-fede... At the end, they link to a few more lists like this one.
For anyone curious about how I feel with the ban getting lifted half a day later: Mostly frustrated that we live in this timeline where oligarchs play tiddlywinks with our lives. Glad it’s back, but not excited about the implications. Restricting replies cause I don’t need yesterday all over.
Welp going through this thread has made it acutely obvious that all the toxicity and trolls are starting finally make it into this app
Think the TikTok ban is gonna crush me. TT has been an important space for me the last 2 years, it’s helped me understand myself so much more with all the content from the ND community. If you think I’m overreacting, then you don’t get what’s great about TT, and this post ain’t for you.
