Just learned about Pine Martens , while listening to Tanya Reilly's "Staff Engineer's path" book. What cute little creatures they're!

I was originally going to call this post β€œWhat makes a programming language real?” because I saw some people picking a fight on the internet about this type of topic, yet again, and it got me thinking as to why we even broach the topic in the first place.

Inside Bluesky’s Engineering Culture A deep dive into how a fully remote, open source-first, tech company is building a challenger social media platform. What can small teams learn from Bluesky about punching above your weight?

Did a deepdive into the Bluesky engineering team: the history and how they work a few months back.

Back then they were 12 engineers, and growing very slow (headcount-wise.) The majority of engineers were former founders (!!!)

I love being around people who find it easy to be happy for others. Gaining the purest joy just from seeing other folks do well.

Unwinding support for the JIT compiler Β· Issue #126910 Β· python/cpython TLDR This is a lot of text because the issue is complex but if you want the gist: To not break a lot of tools that rely on unwinding, I propose to fix this by compiling the JIT stencils with frame ...

After a week of nightmares 😱 and long stares at the abyss that of gcc, llvm, libunwind, elfutils, several JITs and much more me and Brandt have a proposal to allow unwinders to work with CPython’s new JIT which will avoid breaking all the tools that rely on them ✨

A lot of folks have been lamenting that now so many people are here and their accounts are growing they can't shitpost anymore and I say: No, friends, shitpost harder! Be the shitposter you want to see in the world! Lean the fuck in!! Protect the Bluesky vibe at all costs!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
