As development teams expand to meet growing business demands, maintaining both technical excellence and security becomes increasingly challenging, especially with

This year has been a roller coaster in so many ways. Thanks everyone who has supported me and Micro.blog. I’m currently working on a slight redesign to our home page, fixing glitches and unifying the Micro.one and Micro.blog pages. I don’t usually make enough time to tell new folks what we’re about.

We live in interesting times. Never a dull moment! 😄

I'm communicating more with people in the WordPress community. There's so much to the story, we have to make up for 20 years or so since we turned in the direction of silos. There's a lot of catching up to do. I hope at some point people figure out that a lot of interop can be attained very inexpensively and quickly by hooking the input and output of each distinct network up to other networks that don't currently interop. Neither ActivityPub or AT Proto is suited for that. Too complicated and honestly too strange. RSS has has 20+ years to burn in. Lots of familiarity there, and lots of working code. When people get really serious about interop, and are willing to sacrifice a little personal glory, there's a very good compromise available. We've been here before. This isn't a new idea in tech at all.

This has been quite the month for “agentic” products. I had a good experience with Claude Code in one post

I've been looking for hard-hitting stories about yesterday's Supreme Court decision that gives Trump far more power than any American president has ever had. And unlike military power, which they are clearly not very good at using, the people running the show in the White House, are very much prepared for how they will use the new power, which appears to be unlimited.

I'm working on the next part of linkblogging in WordLand. I want to really switch over to the new routine. There was a question of whether I wanted to push the links to the social sites, Bluesky, Mastodon, etc. I've decided I do, but for the moment only to push to Bluesky. It's the only one with a simple enough-enough API or feels worth the effort to me. I'm basically focusing my politics on Bluesky these days. Also seems there are people there who are interested in the development I do. I have far more "followers" on Twitter, but at this point I think most of them are gone. And Threads just dropped off my radar a while back. I'm just not interested. For me now it's mostly Bluesky and Facebook.

Net-net: I would pay money to hear a podcast with Frum and Stewart interviewing each other. That would be very powerful stuff imho.

The latest David Frum podcast is about tech billionaires. Once again he talks about who he's willing to listen to. He's really smart, thinks about things, and speaks brilliantly, but cultivates his ignorance and speaks openly about it. In contrast, I listened to Jon Stewart's...

For over a year every time I restarted my computer, the internet didn’t work. The trouble was, and I forgot how I even figured it out at first, was that the DNS Server was set 127.0.0.1 on my WiFi settings (regardless of what network). I’d come in here, delete it, and they would default back […]

I’ve tried over the course of a couple of weeks. I’ve tried in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I’ve ensured there are no browser extensions at all running. I’ve tried changing little details on the forms in case one of them was tripping it up. I’ve tried on two different networks, neither of which has anything […]

Browsing stock.adobe.com, there’s a new problem with the flood of AI-generated artwork. I’m willing to pay more for art created by a human, just as I want to read words written by a human and not a robot. AI-generated art is abundant and cheap to produce. Yet they are both priced the same by Adobe.
