HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY BUT TODAY I CAN SAY IT LOUDER.

My cats can sleep for most of the day and still act like they've had an exhausting week.

I'm still thinking about this.

Have you ever removed an abstraction and realized the code became easier to understand without it?

Remember when everyone kept saying PHP was dying? We almost forgot about that joke. Almost 😂

Experimenting with AI coding tools has become a new form of procrastination. There's always another agent to try, another workflow to automate, another model that supposedly changes everything. You can spend an entire day improving your development setup and feel like you've accomplished something. Meanwhile, the feature you were supposed to build is still untouched.

Me thanking everyone who engages with my posts

Some mornings I wake up ready to get things done. But not this one.

What customer really needs

GitHub is experimenting with a 24-hour waiting period for newly published npm packages. That actually sounds pretty reasonable for automated dependency updates. The interesting part will be how teams handle exceptions when a security fix can't wait. github.blog/changelog/2026-1…

I wish we stopped pretending that the number of commits says anything useful about how much work a developer actually did.

Saying "Coca-Cola" to me is the same as saying "walk" my cats

Sometimes my phone shows me a photo from five years ago and I spend next minutes trying to remember what my life was like back then.

I wonder if AI agents have made Mondays easier for you

I think we've become way too comfortable treating every free minute as an opportunity to consume more content.

When your model is free, you can afford to be a little less polite 😂

My side projects have a very predictable lifecycle. I get excited, build the interesting part, and then remember that software also needs all the boring parts.

FINALLY! JEP 543 (Structured Concurrency) has been integrated into JDK 28. After 2 incubator rounds and 7 previews, I was starting to think it would stay in preview forever 😂 openjdk.org/jeps/543

Friendly reminder to check your beard trimmer length settings before you start. Don't ask me how I learned this 🥲

What's something good that happened to you this week?
