Exciting news: I’ll be code cartooning again soon! 🥳

With WebAssembly’s component model now becoming a Real Thing, I feel like I can step away from my current role. And now I get to explain things again! 🥰

@nicolaschevobbe Ha! Funny enough, I was singing karaoke myself at the same time!!

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@keithkurson d'aww, that's so sweet of you to say! And I'm so glad that it helped bring you here 😸

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@broccolinism @b0rk It's going to be a while until I have the site fully set up, so not yet. But it looks like the platform I'm using does allow me to configure one, so I'll likely have one in a few months once I'm able to fully make the transition out of my current role and have the time to focus

@EliGundry Aw, that's so nice to hear, Eli—thank you! 😊

[Lin Clark @linclark]

It was important work and I’m glad I did it, but as I told my team—middle management is not my love language 😝

But I know that there is someone out there who has a passion for management and can take this team to the next level. And I look forward to working with them!

[Lin Clark @linclark]

That does mean that there is a Director of Engineering role up for grabs at Fastly! Great for anyone who wants to drive the future of Compute forward 🚀

This time, from the Molly Maguires episode...

James McParland, a Pinkerton detective, was NOT a cool person. When PA mine workers were unionizing, he infiltrated the group and collabed with the private Coal and Iron Police to send members to their deaths

Nearly a decade of making stick figure cartoons… now I’m finally figuring out how to do faces!

Featuring a cool person from my favorite podcast: Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff

[Lin Clark @linclark]

(Gama is the "cool person", although Zbysko also seems like he was prob an ok dude)

[Lin Clark @linclark]

I'm really sorry to see all of the layoffs going across my feed... I know how much going through a layoff sucks regardless of whether you're on the departing or staying side 😔

For language runtime engs, we did just open a spot on my team if it helps: https://t.co/Rb8MXxiflT

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@IanColdwater We're hiring a Principal Software Engineer - Language Runtimes... in particular interested in getting languages like Ruby, Python, Go, etc working well as WebAssembly

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@rstephensme @luke_wagner aw shucks, thank you for such kind words 😊 It was great seeing you all again!

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@nektro I personally disagreed with this decision at first, as well. This decision came out of the RFC process. The idea is to increment Wasmtime major versions and embedding major versions at the same time to provide clarity to users. So I think this was seen as the least worst option

[Lin Clark @linclark]

It’s time for Wasmtime One-Dot-OHHHH!

Here’s how we made it:

- Super fast 🚀
- Super safe 🔒
- Super production ready 🦾

Plus: Why use a standalone WebAssembly engine in the first place?

[Laurie Voss @seldo]

This is fantastic, excellent, industry-changing news.

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@niviksha @_lrlna indeed! I actually have most of them cataloged on https://t.co/XtlA9rX9Ba (though I haven't yet added this one)

[Lin Clark @linclark]

@keithkurson Love to hear that! 😊 Let us know if you run into anything that we can help with
