I’m looking for the right remote role for the next five years. Not because I’ve stopped building independently. Because I want to experience what becomes possible when the range I’ve developed is combined with an ambitious team, global distribution, serious resources, and problems operating at scale. Today, I: β€’ Lead Sails.js, actively maintaining the framework, shaping its direction, and growing the ecosystem around it β€’ Build The Boring JavaScript Stack β€’ Build Slipway, a deployment platform for Sails applications β€’ Run Sailscasts, where I teach developers to build full-stack JavaScript applications β€’ Publish The African Engineer, covering how technology is built across Africa β€’ Build Hagfish, an invoicing product for creators and independent professionals β€’ Consult with companies on engineering, architecture, products, and developer experience β€’ Write, teach, speak, lead, and build in public I have spent years operating across software engineering, open source, infrastructure, education, media, product, community, and business. Now I want to bring that experience into the right global technology company. I’m looking for a role where I can build software, lead technical initiatives, improve developer experience, teach developers, write, speak at conferences, shape products, and help grow an ecosystem around important technology. I do my best work in an environment that is: β€’ Remote and async-first β€’ Low-meeting and high-trust β€’ Flexible rather than rigidly 9-to-5 β€’ Built around deep work and strong written communication β€’ Focused on outcomes, quality, and impact β€’ Compatible with responsible open-source and independent work I don’t want to perform productivity. Give me meaningful problems, clear context, ownership, talented teammates, and the freedom to deliver excellent work. Above all, I want to work on something I’ll be proud to attach my name to. I’m especially interested in Developer Experience, Open Source, AI Developer Platforms, Staff Engineering, Developer Relations Engineering, Developer Education, and Technical Ecosystem roles. If your company needs someone who can build the technology, understand the developer, explain the product, teach the market, and grow the ecosystem around it, let’s talk. Reposts appreciated.

I've prepped for this summer's plumbing course by fixing a leak (as mentioned), then went on to change two shower mixers, and got the sewer pipe back into the sewer pump πŸ’ͺ Entering my handywoman era!!

When I put the two side by side, the difference wasn't in the facts. It was in the framing. Jennifer’s volunteer work was "community service." Jeff's was "leadership". Jennifer "assisted with" and "collaborated on." Jeff "engineered" and "architected."

MY GOD...this is so good. @ryancvet on surveillance childhood: "The baby isn’t sleeping in the parents’ room, but the monitor tracks oxygen, heart rate, and breathing. "The parent isn’t at daycare, but photos arrive in their app every hour. "The parent isn’t asking how their child slept, because the sleep score already answered. "The child walks home alone, but their location is live-tracked. "It looks like independence. It feels like freedom. But it isn’t. "Imagine this moment: β€œ'Did you hit your brother?'” β€œ'No.'” β€œ'Hold on, I’m going to check the camera.'” ryanvet.com/collide/the-futu… - Ryan Vet | RyanVet.com

I'm in New York! Anyone want to meet up? Just send me a message to let me know. I'm free to meet you from Monday through Wednesday (May 4th to 6th). Whoever manages to find my phone number on the web archives and send me an SMS gets a free drink 🍹

Another example of an AI agent taking down a production database. It's time for database branching to become not only a best practice, but a requirement for data safety. We offer database branching at xata.ai. Adopt it easily without moving your production database, and create thousands of branches without multiplying costs.

Today, we’re open-sourcing the core of Xata under the Apache 2.0 license. It’s built for agentic workloads, where databases need to be created, used, and discarded continuously: Give every agent its own database branch, with real data Instant database branching (copy-on-write), regardless of whether you have 50GB or 5TB of data Pay only for compute, storage is shared with the parent Branches hibernate when idle and wake up on the first connection (scale-to-zero) 100% vanilla Postgres (no forks, full compatibility) You can adopt branching without moving your production database, and we’re excited to see teams run it in their own environments, build on it, and contribute back.

OMG we (@OlaHolstVea, the Pirate Princess, and I) are joining this πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
Yesterday we had the first call with all the families joining us in September for the Revillage popup. We have had 41 families apply and we have 21 families fully signed up. We helped the majority find housing and we also secured a super cool community space for the whole month! revillage.com/popup

It's been a couple of weeks since my awesome CTO mom passed away from early-onset Alzheimer's at 67 😭 I'm happy to report the good memories from the before times are starting to come back. The concerts, the large dinners with friends & family, the travels... We had so much fun! ❀️
Last week, @raae tells us about a little event they've planned to celebrate her mom's life.

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep. Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
Replying to @npmjs
@npmjs @GHSecurityLab there is an active supply chain attack on axios@1.14.1 which pulls in a malicious package published today - plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 - someone took over a maintainer account for Axios
