[Sponsor] npx workos: From Auth Integration to Environment Management, Zero ClickOps

workos.com/docs/authkit/cli-installer?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q12026

npx workos@latest launches an AI agent, powered by Claude, that reads your project, detects your framework, and writes a complete auth integration into your codebase. No signup required. It creates an environment, populates your keys, and you claim your account later when you’re ready.

But the CLI goes way beyond installation. WorkOS Skills make your coding agent a WorkOS expert. workos seed defines your environment as code. workos doctor finds and fixes misconfigurations. And once you’re authenticated, your agent can manage users, orgs, and environments directly from the terminal. No more ClickOps.

See how it works →

Quoting Neurotica

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

Quoting David Abram

I have been doing this for years, and the hardest parts of the job were never about typing out code. I have always struggled most with understanding systems, debugging things that made no sense, designing architectures that wouldn't collapse under heavy load, and making dec...

Inflation Timeline

Depending what corners of the internet you hang out on, 'regular' may at times awkwardly coexist with 'sexy.'

It’s an Open Thread #2

Hey folks. The site is going to be very light this week and early next week — I’m spending some time with my family and accompanying my daughter on some spring break college visits. I’ll be back to full force mid-next week.

In the meantime, I thought the open thread we did a couple of weeks ago was so lovely that it should be a regular thing. So, what’s going on in your world? What are you working on? Reading or watching or listening to anything good these days? How can we help you with something that’s been weighing you down?

WWDC 2026: June 8–12

apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/apples-worldwide-developers-conference-returns-the-week-of-june-8/

Apple Newsroom:

WWDC kicks off with the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union on Monday, June 8. The conference continues online all week with over 100 video sessions and interactive group labs and appointments, where developers can connect directly with Apple engineers and designers to explore the latest announcements. The conference will take place on the Apple Developer app, website, and YouTube channel; and on the Apple Developer bilibili channel in China.

I’ve never before heard of Bilibili, which seems to be a Chinese equivalent to YouTube.

As usual, there’s a lottery of sorts to attend the keynote in person.

From the DF Archive, a Decade Ago: ‘The Industry Is Fucked Up’

daringfireball.net/linked/2015/07/09/ritchie-bad-ads

Here’s a post from 2015, linking to Rene Ritchie, then still at iMore, explaining how iMore found itself serving ever worse (and more reader hostile) ads. Not much has changed regarding the state of web advertising in a decade, and iMore — once a truly great site — is defunct.

The HTML Review: Issue 05

What a lovely thing to drop amidst my recent consternation over the state of web design.

To paraphrase Richard III: A horse, a horse! My kingdom for native app developers with the conviction of the artist-developers in The HTML Review.

Beats now have notes

Last month I added a feature I call beats to this blog, pulling in some of my other content from external sources and including it on the homepage, search and various archive pages on the site.

On any given day these frequently outnumber my regular posts. They were looking a little bit thin and were lacking any form of explanation beyond a link, so I've added the ability to annotate them with a "note" which now shows up as part of their display.

Here's what that looks like for the content I published yesterday:

Screenshot of part of my blog homepage showing four "beats" entries from March 22, 2026, each tagged as RESEARCH or TOOL, with titles like "PCGamer Article Performance Audit" and "DNS Lookup", now annotated with short descriptive notes explaining the context behind each linked item.

I've also updated the /atom/everything/ Atom feed to include any beats that I've attached notes to.
