When I say mix, that just means like at least 5% of my work is each of those categories. 33%, 33%, 33% is fine. So is 90%, 5%, 5%. Or just about any other combination. Just enough to give me some variety
For me, partially yes. I need a mix of feature work, bug fixes, and refactoring or I go insane. But I love making a codebase more maintainable and adding docs, even though it is not visible to users. Unfortunately that is not easy to sell to management as beneficial and important
Hey, attorneys, especially litigators:
Read this thread and consider circulating it to your less online colleagues.
For clarification, the blog post/post mortem was published on 2026-04-10 for an outage around 2026-04-06.

The 2026-04-16 outage was not necessarily the same or a related issue as far as I am aware.
Personally, I would like some git-like features for law version control and comparison, but git is probably the wrong tool, partially for reasons you state.
As a software engineer, machine readability would be nice to allow development of other tools for comparison and analysis. Kind of like the different Bluesky clients that support various use cases.
I agree with your other points.
I personally would like to analyze bills/laws with "git blame" and "git diff" -like features. It would be an interesting way to compare versions and follow change history. But yeah, laws and programs are not the same

My local school district sometimes used a wheelie CRT TV with a LaserDisc player at least as late as 2017. Although most if not all classrooms in the district were using projectors at that point. The wheelie was used only for a few things.
Yes, I want this

I can access those posts. Hmm...
Verse 5: "We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected."
Adding on to this. This is part of canonical scripture that is also referenced in President Ezra Taft Benson's speech. Verse 1: "[God] holds men accountable for their acts in relation to [government]."

So, umm... As a developer, am I the elves in this situation? Or are the tools/code I built the elves?
It looks like this lets people assist in immigration cases if working with a Recognized Organization.
Is this a viable way for people with the time and resources to help?
Do you have advice for anyone interested in becoming accredited?
Is there any risk of the current DOJ changing the program?
Questions for #lawsky and especially immigration lawyers like @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social
I heard about programs like BYU's Community Legal Clinic for non-lawyers to become an Accredited Representative recognized by the DOJ.

Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.
This post has nothing to do with being pro or anti AI.
It’s about a concerning trend in which people with institutional authority are constructing gatekeeping standards around “normal” "human" behavior.
The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...
Dinosaur comics panels Narrator: Doing things... Narrator: And more things... T-Rex: What's mom doing tomorrow? Dromiceiomimus: I'm going to your father's hearing Utahraptor: So she can watch me argue T-Rex: She doesn't see that enough at home? T-Rex: Smiley emoticon
My brother thought this was a dinosaur comics strip, so I turned it into one. I was not sure what to do for the first and second panels

We put our founding date as our BlueSky birthday and got locked out of BlueSky last week during the heart of fundraising season.
Our budget for next year is looking tight and we’re trimming our agenda. If you can help us with a donation, we will put it to truly good use! free.law/donate/

As an aside, the Supreme Court did not take up Novak's case and let the decision that granted qualified immunity stand. So while it appears disclosure of parody may not be required, my efforts at parody should probably avoid probable cause for arrest.
So it appears deception is a part of parody. And this deception is lawful given a reasonable person ultimately discovers the deception. I feel like compulsory watermarks could struggle with this standard.
The Onion states "[T]he very nature of parody ... is to catch the reader off guard at first glance, after which the 'victim' recognizes that the joke is on him to the extent that it caught him unaware." San Francisco Bay Guardian, Inc. v. Super. Ct., 21 Cal. Rptr. 2d 464, 466 (Ct. App. 1993)
