Some projects ... just exist 🤷

If you have login data saved in @1password for a lot of subdomains or for localhost dev envs, you can control the autofill behaviour for each entry. Otherwise it will show all matching options for the TLD (without subdomain or port) which can get quite annoying.

#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!

“Your privacy is important to us.”

This is *brutal*...

"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."

This is by @stevendotjs, who absolutely nails a bunch of things I've been feeling for a while now, but had no idea how to articulate...

One or more person or persons may or may not have spoken, and in a voice funneled through a person whose professional success explicitly hinges on demand for this feature, cried out: “eight.” That’s web standards, baby!
