One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

This. Social media is a Fisher Price Toy Steering Wheel. Sure, the wheel turns and the horn works — but it’s not actually hooked up to anything important.
I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

I've been telling people "six figures does *not* mean what it used to" for a while but this video does a better job than I ever could of explaining just how much that's changed.

What’s $100k household income buy you? Not nearly as much as it used to. Certainly not security.

I'm a long-time follower of @gruber.foo and Daring Fireball and that's where I learned that Apple is getting a shakeup at the top of UX/HI. Here's hoping! Apple hasn't followed their own HI guidelines in many years.
Gruber's article is excellent.

Hey 🏗️,
It’s been a wild 24 hours. I lost a sizable new customer yesterday, which stings even though you understand it. Then today, I gained a customer worth more than 3x that amount.
Building a SaaS is an emotional ride🎢. The swings are real. #buildinpublic

I stuck this on my office wall a couple of weeks ago.
Even with this in my face every day, I still find myself reluctant to publish stuff I’m writing.
Best way to get better at dealing with this situation is to write and publish over and over.
