I’m closing down Attic but my Croissant project is staying online! It’s moving to a sub-domain: croissant.dbushell.com What does that mean? If you’re using the Tauri macOS app then nothing changes. If you’re using the PWA you’ll see a notice. ...
My AT Protocol side project Attic is closing down! Attic will go offline 31st December 2026. If you have bookmarks the best way to export them is to save the RSS feed from your bookmarks page. Otherwise, use a service ...
I had the pleasure to discuss and analyze the workflow of none other than Benn Stancil, legendary writer and storyteller in the data space and beyond, who started writing back in 2013 (with a seven-or-eight-year startup break in between). This ...
My ARSE® process for building apps with coding agents: [A]mbitiously create by handing an agent a HUGE task to do over hours/days [R]age at your computer as you uncover all its stupid decisions [S]culpt the app by fixing things in ...
A URL is a technical thing: a hostname, a path, a port, an origin, some query parameters, etc. But a link is a cultural thing: an invitation, a citation, a gift, a shortcut, a connection. All from a simple idea: ...
In Kubernetes, resource allocation has historically been a static decision made during a Pod's initial scheduling and placement. With the graduation of the core in-Place Pod resize feature to General Availability in v1.35, application developers and cluster operators gained the ...
The nasal greenhorn strategy gamer understands "strategy" to be about mastery of space by means of clanging offensives, shining shieldwalls, and brute attrition, but the true Napoleon of Drag-Select knows that strategy is always, primarily, the mastery of time. I ...
I didn’t think, when I saw the other day that Swedish furniture sellers IKEA had commissioned a group of modders to stick an advert for their wares in Skyrim as an official Bethesda-approved Creation, that I’d now be sitting here ...
How many files does your query read before it reads any data? On some data lakes, you go through JSON and metadata files first, just to learn which Parquet files matter. DuckLake asks one SQL question instead. The metadata lives ...
You'd expect a game called Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists to be on the depressing side, but this choose-your-own-adventure RPG anthology from the designers of King of Dragon Pass is an absolute tonic. It's a witty procession of Orphic descents, ...
"You're not the last Belmont anymore", Trevor reminds his daughter Rose, as they gently sail into a Paris ablaze and ripped apart by monsters. Rose knows it well, as do indie developers Evil Empire. Following their success with roguelike Dead ...
Mullenweg with more free time is not good for WordPress. He doesn’t need Automattic and they can’t stop his destruction, WordPress is owned by the Foundation (a board of Matt + two puppets). Or to put it in words prequel ...
A charcoal sketch of a faceless purple robot working the levers of a dense industrial machine, beside an empty office chair with a worker's cap left hanging on it/images/slow-path-to-ai-takeover.webp/images/slow-path-to-ai-takeover.webp There's a lot of conversation about how AI could go bad ...
I can’t believe I just unsubscribed from Smashing Magazine’s RSS feed. When I was starting my career Smashing Magazine was the hottest place for web development news. I published there myself. Smashing Magazine is unrecognisable to me now. The editorial ...
I think the iPhone Duo might serve me well in the Post-Programming Era. Now that 90% of my work is remotely coordinating Codex and Claude from my phone, I need a desktop-class browser more than I need a full-size laptop. ...
It's hard to believe it, but it's been a year since I started this crazy journey! I nearly missed it, as things have really begun picking up steam. A strong network One of the biggest sources of uncertainty coming into ...
Normally, the best way to watch an Apple event is the TV app on an Apple TV, but damn if their use of maxed-out HDR for visualizations combined with sudden cuts back to SDR footage didn't make it feel like ...
Speaking of being on the internet and finding things that make you go, “Hey! It’s not just me!” I scrolled across this skeet from Tyler Gaw: I just dug to the bottom of my Big Box of Cables to find ...
Kubernetes has many ways to describe what is happening on a Node. Readiness, taints, Pod state, labels, annotations, and provider-specific APIs each expose part of the picture. What has been missing is a shared, Kubernetes-owned way to say that a ...
Being a vampire is a pretty raw deal... or so the vamps inform us when they are not having freaky gothic sex, shapeshifting into wolves, enjoying the slimming effects of a uniquely low-carb diet, or enduring through marvellous future epochs ...
It's probably poor form to do another "what I said in a group chat" (this time, to culture critic Rowan Kaiser. Hermits can namedrop too, shut up) intro, but "Oh i already liked menace, that's why I hate it" feels ...
It's hard to know where to start when talking about Stupid Never Dies. An action RPG built on style, excess and punk ideology. I mean, within the first minutes of my demo starting, I am flushing undead protagonist Davy down ...
CrUX shows another fall in good INP experiences, making careful attribution more useful than a quick explanation.
Today's links Anti-vax/anti-trust: Remembering saves lives. Hey look at this: Delights to delectate. Object permanence: Disneyland prisoner; HOAs v xeriscaping; Copyright Office x regulatory capture; The women held a vote; Open licenses v uncopyrightable subjects; Largest prison strike in history; ...
Embedded C is something that I would only wish for my worst enemies. On the other hand, embedded Rust has matured to a point where many companies are now shipping
One year later and it feels like both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air could be announced tomorrow, not a year ago, and would seem fresh and exciting.
Over the past 6 months I've transitioned my entire dev workflow over to agentic engineering. I now have a set of tools I use for coding with AI for both work and personal engagements - across machines...
