As a consultant for Enterprise Architecture, I am someone who has an eye on Business Continuity Management (BCM) and operational resiliency topics.
All the more reason to be excited for Chatto. Lightweight, easy to self-host, easy to spin up.
And: Bonus points for data-at-rest encryption. <3

It's been a couple of busy weeks for Chatto: emoji reactions, DMs, replies & threads, encryption-at-rest with per-user crypto-shredding, message editing & deletion, Markdown formatting (with syntax highlighted code blocks), and more.
Pretty good progress, hope to get this into your hands soon!

Unpopular Opinion: Arc Raiders has a thin cover of background story that thinly veils cynical design choices.
Somebody designed it, somebody gametested it, somebody published it.
I wonder who thought it nice to play out players giving other players a coup de grace after they tried to crawl away.

In our conversations about how software dev is evolving, @nklumpp.bsky.social refers to agentic AI as "engineer power armor", something that we wear to extend our capabilities; not an automaton that we stupidly interact with until it either deletes our hard disk ~or~ makes us obsolete. I like this.

I want to build something that works both for business as well as community/gaming/casual use cases. Gunning for the "typical" UX as a base and then try some things on top of that (particularly around threading, room types and the likes.)

👀 Some words about Chatto, my BIG project. It's a group chat app that
- is incredibly easy to self-host
- has very modest hardware requirements
- scales really well
- apache-2.0 license
- hosted platform launching in 2026
Looking forward to writing much more about this soon.
Let's do this. 🚀

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Money amplifies character. Don't be like DHH if by fortune and good decisions you're getting affluent enough. Your success never is your success alone. You're standing on the should of giants. Don't make them regret lifting you.

Heartbroken to see what a terrible place the Ruby/Rails community has become after spending the better part of two decades working with and teaching that framework.
DHH, instead of writing Rails because, y'know, he doesn't ever do that, is threatening people.

Okay, I'm going to help you understand what's going on here. The big tech companies aren't going to have a problem ponying up the extra $100k/year; what will happen is that smaller companies are going to have an even harder time competing. It's *exactly* what FAANG wants.
President Trump plans to add a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications in the administration’s latest crackdown on a system it says is used by tech companies to avoid hiring American workers.
Trump to Add $100,000 Fee to H-1B Visas
The move, expected as soon as Friday, would upend a program for foreign workers that the president says tech companies overuse.
