G'day @storyblok, it might be nice when someone tries to sign up with GitHub that their username could be accepted as is or ask for a username if you have internal constraints. Github supports from 1 - 39 chars for usernames, mine is 4 chars but Storyblok requires at least 5.
A screenshot showing the Storyblok signup page and browser developer tools open with arrows going from the "Sign up with GitHub" button to a generic error message in the UI, and from there an arrow to the more specific error message in the developer tools that states "Username is too short (minimum is 5 characters)".

No @DocuSign, bad @DocuSign.
Screenshot of DocuSign's "finish signing up" screen with a highlight below that says "Must not contain the characters <, > or spaces".

Why do people insist on spilling the tea? Can you just drink it like civilized people?!

MELTDOWN: Right on schedule, Peter Dutton and Sky News hopelessly try to change the subject from Robodebt to nuclear energy — a subject they only ever seem to want you to talk about when jaw-dropping scandals plunge the L-NP into meltdown. They are taking you for mugs. #auspol

I took some benchmarks with Vite 4.3 beta on my Windows machine. Vite 4.3's cold start time is 3 times faster and also the hot start time is 1.3 times faster🏎. What's more, Vite 4.3's cold start time is now 1.5s faster than turbopack when using SWC plugin.😮

I know we get caught up in our micro preferences for frameworks. But let’s not lose sight of the fact that truly: @reactjs is a phenomenal framework @vuejs is a phenomenal framework @nextjs is a phenomenal framework @nuxt_js is a phenomenal framework @sveltejs is a phenomenal framework @remix_run is a phenomenal framework @solid_js is a phenomenal framework @MarkoDevTeam is a phenomenal framework @preactjs is a phenomenal framework @astrodotbuild is a phenomenal framework @angular is a phenomenal framework @QwikDev is a phenomenal framework ... and honestly many more that i can't possibly list with just two thumbs I know JS framework fatigue is a thing. But unlike many years ago, these days it’s really hard to go wrong with any of these great options. I hope my excitement for new frameworks and developments doesn’t cloud away from the fact that overall, these are *all* incredible projects made by amazing people pushing the industry forward and collectively benefiting us all

Atlassian used to share big company changes in "town halls" then follow with written info. Recently swapped - share company updates in Confluence 2-5 days ahead of the town hall. Staff asked much more informed Qs this way around. We will do it this way going forward.

HEARTBREAKING: Software engineer has to turn around, take out one earbud, and say "huh?" when someone asks them a question even though they finally got in the coding groove

I asked an AI to describe a cat and then I put the AI's description of a cat into an AI image generator.
"a small, furry animal that is commonly kept as a pet with soft, silky fur that comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. They have slender, agile bodies and sharp claws, which they use for hunting and climbing"...apparently.
