i think in general we're moving towards the world where the most valuable software output is a spec (tests / types / api)

Props to @scott.hanselman.com for naming the elephant in the room in big tech.
AI coding tools boost senior engineers but create challenges for juniors who lack context to judge outputs. Cutting junior hiring for near-term gains weakens the future pipeline. We’ll need apprenticeship-style paths.
I worked on a few fairly prominent efforts in open source (Istio, OpenAPI), but I think of all of them, it’s gRPC that I think has the coolest story. Pull up a chair and set for a spell (any inaccuracies in what follows are 100% my fault for having a bad memory!).

The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees
🧵
Screenshot of a CNBC headline that reads: “How device hoarding by Americans is costing economy.” The subtext says Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever, which may be smart for consumers but can reduce productivity.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Recuerdo este mismo día pero de hace años, mi madre cocinando el pavo mientras mi padre veía el partido de football con mi hermano. Nunca me interesó demasiado el deporte, así que aprovechaba ese rato para estar leyendo en mi cuarto.

Welp, turns out it’s not real.
Just opening DevTools makes all timers 5-100× slower, due to the overhead of capturing stack traces. Even if you do nothing else (don’t record performance, etc)!
Guess who accidentally spent a weekend optimizing this 😅

Sí, ayer en @retrobarcelona.bsky.social le enseñamos a John Romero cómo era eso de jugar a DOOM con el mod de Chiquito de la Calzada.

A line drawing of the IBM 701's "main frame", showing its physical dimensions and how the frame swings open. The drawing is dated 3-4-53. The drawing is from the document "Type 701 EDPM Installation Manual", obtained from the Computer History Museum archives.
What is the origin of the word "mainframe"? Digging through archives, I traced it back to 1953. The IBM 701 computer was built from "frames": power frames, a storage frame, a drum frame, and the main frame. This 1953 drawing from the Installation Manual shows the dimensions of the "main frame". 1/n

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"
Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"
The transportation advisor from SimCity 2000, saying "YOU CAN'T STAY ON TWITTER! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"
My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

We just moved @khanacademy.org over to using @rspack.dev today for our prod builds, from Webpack 5. We saw build times improve by about 2min or so (approx. 3min -> 1min). It was extremely easy to move to from Webpack, highly recommended for anyone on the fence!

I'm going to copy/paste that thread from May 8, 2018 here:
I made the mistake of reading the comments on HN around Kubernetes and there is a common thread around Kubernetes being too complex. This is something that I've been thinking quite a bit about for quite a long time. /1
