You've gotta patch your dependencies super fast because they're full of vulns (PHP, Node, eMudhra, etc), but not _too_ fast because they're full of backdoors (LiteLLM). Good luck!

Found something funny when reading Tailscale code. They use a Cyrillic letter "ж" (reads as "zh") for the variable which shouldn't be exposed to callers and mutated. This is an artificial barrier for human devs that should raise concerns when trying to type it. Apparently it looks like an asterisk meaning it's a pointer. But for me it's a familiar letter which I didn't expect to see in the code and was like Ж? WAT? Yeah, you can use unicode letters in Go code if you want. I now really want to use something like that in my code because I bet it'll make me smile every time I see it

The PHP internals team has voted 38-4 to deprecate all OOP constructs in PHP 9.0. The reason: LLMs produce 34% fewer errors on procedural codebases. SOLID principles cause context overload in 78% of tested models. `__construct()` is the #1 source of LLM hallucinations in PHP. #laravel and #symfony are assessing the impact on their roadmaps. WordPress is already compatible. How are you preparing your codebase? #php #oop #ai #llm

Viktor Tsoi is the major musical influence on my work that the most readers will never have heard of, let alone heard.
“Rock Concert” painting by Viktor Tsoi, Soviet Union, 1980s. 
Viktor Tsoi, a Soviet-Korean rock musician, songwriter, and lead singer of Kino, was a defining figure in the late Soviet Union’s rock scene. Born in 1962 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) to a Russian mother and Korean father, Tsoi became a cultural icon in the 1980s, capturing the spirit of a generation yearning for change. His music, marked by themes of personal freedom, youth, rebellion, and social struggle, delivered in a raw and poignant style, deeply connected with audiences. Tragically, Tsoi died in a car accident in 1990 at age 28, at the height of his impact.

PRO TIP: Store all passwords in one table and use foreign keys to reference them. Most users reuse passwords anyway. We went from 100GB to 3GB.

When you use a napkin do you mentally split it up into a series of single use grids with a decided order of usage to prevent cross contamination or do you just wipe your face haphazardly like a toddler.

After 18 years, this bug is finally fixed.
Request for @nikitabier. I see it on all social platforms. I load the app, see something I want to read. Then the feed reloads and I lose it… can we fix this?
