The "SOTA" acronym is really starting to get to me. It's not even good jargon. Arguably, "frontier" is interesting and sorta qualifying. But saying something is "state of the art" _and_ using an acronym... you're telling on yourself.
I'll be here! find me on the edges, let's talk IaC and cloud functions.
Everything *[NYC] is back. Sept 9. Agents, content ops, and what it takes to build and run both. On stage: Vercel, Braze, Semafor, exe.dev, plus our co-founders. Closes with a live laser installation by Shohei Fujimoto. Free to attend, spots are limited: go.sanity.io/xoo4AtO
There's a 3-bay mechanic shop going up for sale in my small mtn town. I think it'd make a killer fly fishing + bike shop (summer) and ski/rental shop (winter). Right on the main road. Across from the reservoir/river. Put a coffee+taco truck in the lot...
Weird mountain town thing in 2026: be in hardware store, several phones ding with an ominous notification sound, look at each other, "that's downwind from here," relief. Wildfire weather.
Couldn't find an #opencode plugin for native system notifications that I liked, so I whipped one up to use OSC 9 sequences. Works in my favorite terminal, #Ghostty but should be fine in iTerm2, Wez, even Warp. github.com/tbeseda/openco…

If nothing else, GitHub outages are further proof you shouldn't deploy vibe-coded apps to Azure.
On the back of AI hype train someone should reboot Rdio. Shove some LLM story in there to get the funding and build the music streaming app we all deserve. Apple Music just queued up Nirvana and Black Sabbath when I started an _Arctic Monkeys_ radio station. I love those bands! But this is aint it.
Ken built a dog adoption app where you skip the filters & toggles and just type "fluffy, will love the stray kittens, won't destroy my small apartment." Sanity Agent Context does the rest. www.sanity.io/blog/better-...

Most of what happens in a given software ecosystem revolves around a core group of authors. Not necessarily the main committers to a platform, but the contributions downstream from those changes. The same names pop up a lot. That's the stuff worth following and learning from IMO.
If your daily playlist doesn't include System of a Down while the US is doing some stupid shit in the Middle East, what are you even doing?
Coding models seem to have the best results in languages where there's good tooling for reference + module discovery and the body of marketing materials used in training is almost zero. Go/Gleam/Zig: A+ JS: shit show
godammit Apple Music. I've got a good station going with RATM, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, A Perfect Circle, and then Puddle of Mudd gets tossed in! What's next? Hoobastank?!
Holy shit. He put the whole thing up on YouTube youtu.be/QKHGmFvzjJ4 Long live Sturgill

It's 2026, can we solve the everything bagel problem? I don't want to eat it over a napkin so I can funnel all the good stuff into my mouth after eating the bagel part.
I don't think of whistles as particularly clean. They get dirt in them and they go in your mouth.
Small browser extension adds a link to npmjs.com packages to view a on @npmx.dev Chrome: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xnpm/... Source and Userscript: github.com/tbeseda/xnpm... Firefox: still in review
npmx is already making my job - no, my life - better. do github next (only half joking).

Doing this again today? Node.js patch day still yeah?
We just refreshing nodejs.org/en/blog waiting for releases?
PSA: #AWS #Lambda nodejs24.x can run #TypeScript without a build step. index.ts (your handler): export const handler = async () => ({foo: '.ts'}) index.mjs (one liner): export {handler} from './index.ts' NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-detect-module AWS disabled this ↑ Other flags break execution.
Ironic having a home media server but the best way to play media during a power outage is streaming. Even if you've only got one bar of LTE and 10% battery, the server is down and out. Need to up my game on the home battery backup... Also, this playlist is aces music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

It's wild that the Xcel page to check on an outage's status (not even view the map) is 28 MB. And it doesn't even handle the return key when I enter my phone number. Like you don't have power, so usually no WiFi, and you have to load and evaluate 21 MB of JS. Total img size is 109kB btw...
Many UI libraries "support" #customElements, but has work been done to go the other way? Use case: Have a future-proof, web-standards-based UI with a series of shiny #webcomponents; but (for reasons) I need to slam in a #React thing. No build step. Slow is fine. Wrap a blob in <react-thing>? 😶🌫️

Gusts nearly hit 100mph today. Weird when your ears pop just sitting on the couch. Still waiting for the power to come back. Wifi on battery backup. Got a good book for when that runs out. Fingers crossed no wildfires.
