Very much so! It’s been added to our code quality CI check as well!

We used Knip recently to find and clean up a good deal of unused code and dependencies after a big component refactor. Great app!

Also, looks nice!

Heh we’re also pretty small (sole designer) but I’ll be doing some PDF work with Typst soon and I’m hoping the JSON approach will pay off when styling our reports.

Either way, if you run into limits it’s pretty trivial to write token conversion scripts with LLMs these days. 🤷

Interesting that you went away from the JSON route — In our design system I’ve gone all in on it (parsing with Style Dictionary) mostly betting that token authoring tools will continue to improve.

The custom plugin looks cool, I really like Biango’s Pinwheel but I haven’t tried it with Figma yet.

To be fair, the thing this diagram is intends to convey is a real and useful method of maintaining multiple software versions!

Just remember to morge continvoucly and you're good!

...But the original at least makes sense. I feel like it's worse that not only is the MS diagram bad, but also a ripoff.

It's morgin time

I'm still hopeful there's room for care and craft in this world... FWIW it shows on npmx.dev :)

A successful Git branching model In this post I present a Git branching strategy for developing and releasing software as I’ve used it in many of my projects, and which has turned out to be very successful.

woah now THAT is interesting!!

A lot of the design decisions I disagree with (time along Y axis) are still present 🙃

Yeah, trying to one-shot this with a diffusion model seems like a foolish workflow at this point. LLMs can generate Mermaid diagrams and check their work with pretty solid results!

You can accomplish this same task with AI in a way that makes sense! That's what makes this so disappointing to me.

This nonsense slop diagram in Microsoft's GitHub training guide is embarrassing. Maybe review things before unquestioningly publishing generated garbage? I guess that's too much to ask of one of the largest and richest companies in the world.

It’s fun because if you live in Canada it just IS expensive!

Stamen Maps We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Stadia Maps to provide tile hosting for Stamen map tiles.

I have always loved their watercolour tiles.

Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

When PGP is robustly integrated into applications (like Git!) it works really well. When everyone uses the Gmail web interface & mobile app, it isn't terribly useful. Building that bit wasn't Keybase's role, but the shared ledger of keys is only useful if the other half is widely implemented.

Yeah, I think part of why I liked the integration of PGP into Keybase is that it could help enable the "social" aspect of PGP which (in my opinion) is largely missing due to tooling failures.

...But it's only one part of the puzzle, and Keybase couldn't overcome the lack of tooling elsewhere.

the pre-LLM projects on my GitHub profile are like low-background steel

Heh maybe my "minus PGP" comment came off slightly snarky because frankly I have never had anyone send me a PGP encrypted email. I do sign my git commits tho.

I don't think a PGP key registry on ATProto (or linking to one) is dumb, seems like it could be handy?

This is exciting though! I don’t think the account trust linking system of Keybase really had that much product market fit. In the age of AI slop however, having a stronger signal for authenticity / identity seems like a good opportunity! Making it interoperable with ATProto doubly so.

Finally! Decentralized Keybase!!

…Well, minus the PGP so far

Neat! Looking forward to this eventually making its way into CSS proper but until then, pretty nice approach.

"Animated Bokeh" has been on my whiteboard for a long time, and this is the result.

I thought it would just be for cheesy novelty effects, but it also does lightfield manipulation that was cooler than I expected.

Label of a juice shot ingredients list consisting of orange, ginger, lemon, and oil of oregano. A label below the ingredients says: “Please consult your doctor before use. This is not a medical prescription” as if somehow this vial of juice is a pharmaceutical product.

Consult my doctor… about drinking juice??

The time I didn’t meet Jeffrey Epstein Last night, I was taken aback to discover that my name appears in the Epstein Files, in 26 different documents. This is despite the fact that I met Jeffrey Epstein a grand total of zero times, and …

After spending upwards of two hours trying to make my trackpad gestures work, I’ve decided that 2026 is not the year of the Linux desktop after all.
