It is definitely disheartening to see a substantial Discord community that you built and cared for over many years be completely abandoned by a company the second you leave it. Completely unmoderated and just full of spam now.

So turns out that if you have your own @github.com Copilot subscription and then are also given a subscription by an org, that org can then manage your access to Copilot features globally... I can't use Copilot for PR reviews in any org now because they disabled it...

So I’m flying to the US again on Monday for a week. This should be fun.

I'm actually losing my mind at how buggy @dependabot.bsky.social seems to be if you start doing anything remotely complex with it. Does no one actually use this at an enterprise level, or do they just have workarounds for everything?

Just emptied the bin on my Mac... macOS spent five minutes deleting 204k items, and it freed up 200GB on my disk. Oops.

Bluesky friends, is there a good way to get notifications when an account posts something new, similar to what a certain other site has?

I was planning to work on some fun projects during the holidays, but now I'm back to OSS maintenance, and there's a lot of it. So tired.. People think OSS is fun, but it's not—especially for low-level project maintenance. It's unseen, unappreciated, and constant labor.

Well, the verbal offer that I had was pulled, so if anyone is looking for fullstack engineers, I'm still looking for a new role :)

Has anyone got Dependabot working with a pnpm workspace on GitHub? Another fix was merged today but it seems to still not work for me and I can’t tell if this is a me problem at this point.

Just under two hours until Jingle Jam kicks off, when you can donate to receive this years collection of games as you watch Lewis and I go through your christmas-themed cat music videos

I need opinions, should I keep my handle as @v4.wtf, or should I switch it over to @mattcowley.co.uk to make it a bit more obvious that I'm me?

At least we might get an interesting Netflix engineering blog post on scaling live video out of this

If you haven’t heard, my time at DigitalOcean has come to an end. It was an absolute joy working with so many amazing folks over the last five years there. I haven’t quite decided what’s next for me, but if you have a role or a team you think I’d be a good fit for, do reach out.

Looks like more folks are staring to move over here. What’s the best way to find folks from the OSS + webdev world over here?

Hi 👋 I'm finally on yet another social media platform that is probably bad for me to be on.
