16,615 requests per second 🚀 That's as fast as it gets for a basic "Hello world" Wasm component that acts as a HTTP server. Now onto adding actual functionality to see how it impacts performance.

I keep telling myself that I'll use Bluesky more, but I can't seem to bring myself to do so. Gotta start doing so.

Us developers have learned the hard way that: 1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done 2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn - soon

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers. AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

Why do miserable people want to make everyone else miserable instead of making themselves less miserable. What’s the mechanism there.

i tried nix for the first time 2 years ago and I've given up on using it as a package manager locally (I just went back to homebrew), but I'm still using NixOS. Even though it's very confusing it still feels like the easiest way for me to manage a server

You might be wondering why tech leaders are trying to save Bluesky, and not Mastodon. Put simply, unlike Mastodon, Bluesky is not a mature de-centralized service. Almost everyone who uses Bluesky only uses the server run by Bluesky themselves. thelogic.co/news/quebec-...

This graph of Pixelfed instances is most worrying to Meta. A measure of a decentralized social network’s sucess isn’t new users, or MAUs, or even engagement. It’s the active amount of servers. In Pixelfed’s case servers have more than doubled within a month. fedidb.org/software/pix...

I’ve been coding since I was 8 years old. I often code on nights and weekends and I just… love it. I also have had a hard time feeling wrong for doing so because I keep hearing about work/life balance from folks and how I shouldn’t. I wrote a blog post about this tension. tej.as/blog/coding-...
