@thebodyserve.bsky.social Matt Futterman did issue a full-throated apology on the @tennispodcast.bsky.social and I believe also apologized to Coco directly. This doesn’t excuse or undo what he said, but I thought it deserved mention, as not every clueless white man would own up to what they did.

So far, I've had a lot more luck getting LLMs to review and help me fix issues with my code than generate or fix code. GitHub Copilot specifically sometimes generates suggestions I like, but it can also be very insistent when I know I don't want it to suggest something. So, it's kind of a wash.

@feross.bsky.social Hey Feross! Heard you talk about Socket Firewall on a podcast and was about to install it when I noticed that it only scores a 77% on supply chain security and quality on socket.dev. Also, the package was created 8 years ago but you said it was new. Should I be worried?

The same amount early as it’s okay to have breakfast after usual breakfast hours.

He forgot Taylor Fritz, who also kicks his ass on every surface these days too.

@pzuraq.bsky.social Enjoyed learning about Signalium and our chat about how it compares to atoms/Jotai. Excited to learn more about it.

@syntax.fm, Hey Scott & Wes, are you guys planning to be at any upcoming US conferences?

One really annoying habit of Copilot autofill in VSCode is when I delete the thing it recently auto-filled, and as soon as I lift my finger up from the Delete key, it re-suggests the thing I just deleted. Then I have to escape out of it. Sometimes twice. I hoped the UX would be more mature by now.

There seems to be only one beneficiary of this move to 12-day Masters 1000 tournaments: TV broadcasters.

It’s bad for players (no time to rest and train), bad for tournament organizers (more big-name withdrawals), and doesn’t offer any obvious benefits for fans (more early round (mis)matches?).

@thebodyserve.bsky.social, re Petra Kvitova reaching peaks of play that have not been surpassed, I’m thinking Keys at Australia this year should be in the conversation. Not to take anything away from PK!

Welp, I've been giving Arc Browser for Windows the old college try for a while now, but it's never really stopped being glitchy, and now The Browser Company has deprecated it, so I think the time has come to go back to Brave, but this time, with the "Use vertical tabs" option turned on.

One of the most amazing stats of the epic 5-set French Open final was that Sinner won 193 points and Alcaraz won 192. 385 points played and the loser wins a single point more than the winner. It’s representative of how close this match was. Alcaraz was literally millimeters away from losing the 4th.

One other comment. I was surprised you didn’t manage to find a role for LLMs in your conversion. I would imagine an LLM could do a halfway decent first pass at converting (adding types to) files. Interestingly, though, you did bring up MCP in your picks ☺️

@danshappir.bsky.social, Hey Dan, enjoyed the JS to TS conversion episode of JSJ, but I disagree with your choice of linter. I’ve been migrating all my projects over to Biome, and I find infinitely easier to configure. It’s also faster.

Wow, @twilio.bsky.social (SendGrid) ditched its free plan with only 60 days notice and claims this is ample warning. It’s not when you maintain web apps in your free time.

Anyway, I think I’ll move the non-profit web app I maintain over to SMTP2GO. Hopefully, it will stay free. 🙏

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com TY so much for “Why are Fundraising Texts SO annoying?”!!!

I admit, I thought the whole texting nightmare was ActBlue’s fault, but now I know better. That said, a lot of people don’t, so I think it’s on ActBlue to solve this. Perception > reality.

One example is business logic. If you have multiple copies of logic that determines whether a user is authorized to see a particular piece of data, then requirements change, multiple copies must be located and edited to ensure correct behavior of the system, an error prone process.

Hey Carl and Richard @dotnetrocks.bsky.social, regarding your discussion with Steve Smith about how DRY can sometimes backfire, I think a better guideline is “maintain a single source of truth”. It’s often okay to repeat code, but it’s not so okay to repeat things that should be consistent.

@maddow.msnbc.com Your segment on airplane incidents was riveting but left me wanting more. How does the rate of incidents since Trump 2 compare to normal? Is there evidence of a *causal* relationship between bad leadership and incidents?

I was the same for a long time but finally got an iPhone 12 Pro Max in December 2024, and the thing is still going strong. The hardware and battery are amazing compared to any Galaxy or Pixel I owned previously. I did prefer Android in some ways but not enough to overcome Apple’s hardware advantage.

Why is Vercel not deploying my latest commits? Information about why Vercel deployments may not be triggering or fail with 'Git author must have access to project' after a commit has been pushed.

This is actually mentioned in vercel.com/guides/why-a..., but I skimmed past it because I'm a solo dev on this project, and this troubleshooting step seemed to be for "teams".

Thanks for your quick reply! Jussst figured it out. Turns out, my git username/email did not match my GitHub username/email. After updating this info and committing a minor change to my repo, I could see this commit in Vercel and a deployment had been triggered.

To add to the mystery, I also have a deploy hook in Contentful that still works (triggers a new deployment upon publish). Interestingly, it also causes Vercel to requery my GitHub repo and build to the latest commit. So that's good, BUT this deploy hook is no longer listed in Vercel settings > git!

Hey @leerob.com, I am using git integration with a NextJS project in a private GitHub repo. When I push to Master (the only branch), Vercel is simply not notified. This has worked for years and suddenly stopped. No change in any settings. Tried all troubleshooting steps but to no avail. Any advice?🙏

I feel you. Front-end is so much harder than back-end, especially when forms are involved. You have to consider design, layout, style, validation, interaction logic, and communication with the back-end. And there are so many edge and corner cases when human beings are involved.
