Yesterday, the International Space Station made contact with Artemis II, marking the first time in history that two spacecraft on separate missions communicated directly with one another. A first not just for space travel, but for humanity. Incredible.

Warning to open source maintainers: the Axios supply chain attack started with some
very sophisticated social engineering targeted at one of their developers simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/3/s...
I am. Will be good to see you there!
Urlbox got SOC 2 Type II attested in January.
It’s made enterprise deals much easier (even when they don’t require it). And while it’s a bit of a slog, all the competing platforms in the space have made the process much cheaper and more straightforward than it would have been a couple of years ago.
Similarly I’d rather 1,000 companies make it to £1 million revenue than one gets to £1 billion.
You two should talk. You have more in common than this problem!
Today’s rainy dog walk was one of the best I’ve had for a while thanks to the return of this: softwaresocial.dev/episodes/wer...
Thank you @mjwhansen.com and @leenyburger.bsky.social!
a few days ago i watched this video on the xz->openssl exploit and everybody with commit access should be forced to watch it, eyes held open by clamps if necessary
Maybe @olly.world?
I’ve been putting off doing that.
I’d approach this by first putting Claude code into /plan mode then giving it a prompt like:
“Upgrade this project from tailwind 3 to tailwind 4 follow this guide: tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade... and take before and after screenshots to ensure no visual impact.”
I also tried it today for the first time today. Was impressed without even changing from the default free model. The TUI experience felt better too - less bloated.
Later, he tells a story about impartiality. In Sarajevo in 1992, he saw the shelling of two children’s funerals. “I wanted to do a piece to camera saying, this is the most monstrous war crime you can imagine. I wanted to rant.” Then his BBC instincts kicked in. “I just described what happened.” Nineteen years later, the piece was used as evidence against Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić. “I remember thinking, if I’d got on my soapbox, would they be admitting it in the war crimes tribunal? I don’t think so.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
It’s so sad when 80% of applicants hardly make any effort. Especially now they can get free personalised advice that could get them into the top 90%.
Nice! I switched the last of the apps I have with a redis dependency over solid queue today. So much quicker and easier to make changes like this in this day and age.
Been putting off moving off asdf to mise for managing Ruby versions for months. I shouldn't have. It took two minutes to migrate and it Just Works™.
I’m not sure those are the things they should be coding up though 😅
Tweet by jot in on 11th November 2020: One day there will be more SaaS apps in the world than there are freelancers.
Wondering if this is more or less likely to be true now.
Might depend on definition of a SaaS.
Just found the video floating around, but didn't see it posted here yet. Here's hoping there'll be a next time :-). @friendlyrb.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUjV...

You’ll want to pay even more if/when you experience their support.
Did it a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back. Was a very smooth experience then - expect it only to be better now.
Sorry I don’t think I can give you any good reason not to do it.
Since meeting @jot.is at @friendlyrb.com last year, we've been working on cogrid.com, a competitor research and tracking tool for SaaS founders and marketers.
We're launching the MVP in a few weeks. Join our mailing list to follow our progress and get early access!
Excellent! It will be great to see you again.
Just booked my ticket and accommodation, probably shouldn't have put it off until now - not many rooms left:

It’s Alex’s first day.
You want to help them make a big impact fast. You let them use your computer, email address & app logins. They’re so quick you can’t even see all the steps they’re taking.
What could possibly go wrong?
Why can’t we onboard LLMs the way we would really onboard an employee?
Hey Ruby consultants, freelancers, and agencies! Quick reminder: we have the Ruby Consultants Quarterly Gathering (over Zoom) on Monday, 1pm ET! Come talk shop with other Rubyists. (It's not widely publicized, so if you don't have an invite, DM me and I'll add you.)
Thank you! Done.
