Remember kids: weak systems attract exploitation from unscrupulous and unserious actors.

[Feross @feross]

I realized early in my career how fragile the foundations of modern software was. My mind was blown when I realized how many massive organizations were using my code—the code of a random 20-something.

I thought, surely these orgs are thoroughly vetting my code before using it?

[Feross @feross]

Nope! I soon learned that most organizations don't spend even 5 seconds glancing at the code in the 1000s of packages they depend on to build their apps.

It's crazy—we're building all the world's infrastructure on a teetering tower of open source risk + overworked maintainers.

They work for employers as varied as @MandT_Bank @MorganStateU @netography @VecTechAI. What unites them?

@wesbos 90% of what people in and outside of this thread claim is good about typescript is actually just a good IDE.

@nickhudkins Speak for yourself. I persoanlly work solely for the free supply of Sun Chips in the break room that runs out by wednesday. I could totally live without paying my mortgage but god forbid you come between me and free snacks.

@claviska @slightlylate awesome-config (https://t.co/boLt1woCJp) has its own format that can include json but has just about every other thing you need in a config language such as comments, variables, conditionals, etc.

Mix things up by putting framed quotes meant for the kitchen into the bathroom

[Jens Axboe @axboe]

"Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights."

Quote attributed to @cra, and I don't think I've ever seen anything more true posted.

[Seva @SevaUT]

An FBI raid on a former president sets a dangerous precedent by implying the rule of law applies equally to everyone.

Looking for a lady for a 3/1 Wildwood team for July 30/31. DM for details!

[Scott DaRos @scottdaros]

My wife and I made another cat #claymation! Magical Cat is a project we do between jobs to loosen up and enjoy #animation.

After a gaming-induced delay, another blog post! This one is about dealing with legacy systems that you hate for some reason, maybe even a good one. https://t.co/mMIQmgWS3I

[R. I. @areinet]

@ceejbot We live in a weird moment where we want to support content creators but we have zero interest in the current methods to do so. Its troubling…

[R. I. @areinet]

@quinnnorton @emptywheel Its probably not said enough, but I do so love your writing… from the pages of Wired to your current work. Please, please, keep it up.

[quinn.yoyodyne-it.eu,quinn social.circl.lu at mast @quinnnorton]

Seems like a good time to re-post my last piece for @emptywheel, What Comes After America https://t.co/Q99YGbiqwu
