@devdevcharlie.com any interest/availability to coordinate a meetup while you're in Portland?

The Government™ has made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Ugh! Wrestling with dates and timezones again. How do you store date values from users in a DB? HTML date input sends values as YYYY-MM-DD. This does not include timezones and is not ISO format. When converted to a Date object, it defaults to GMT, which means the user sees the wrong date

@drizzle.team is awesome

The AI Resist List, actions, initiatives and selected projects to illustrate how anyone can shape the future of AI development, if we accept to fight and not let it in the hands of giant corporations. airesistlist.org/

Anyone using @zed.dev editor? Any issues with intellisense/code completions just not working? Tried using JavaScript and TypeScript.

Chrome shipped an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. Here's why:

Where do folks find @svelte.dev / sveltekit jobs? Seems like everything these days is React.

I need to do a deep dive on this tomorrow, but the Trump administration basically dismantled the US Forest Service last week, and did it so quietly I don't think anyone even knows that it happened or what it means. morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

I've never found anything artificial to be as good as it's authentic counterpart

What a waste of legislative time and money. Pennies are already round.

Lots of activity lately on CSS color-contrast() in Chromiums bug tracker lately 👀 issues.chromium.org/issues/40142...

Feels like a lot of devs are choosing to adopt AI Anyone else actively avoiding it? What are your reasons?

How do y'all @svelte.dev Kit users style active nav links? Seems like page.route.id is not reactive on nav changes

Friends, I'm on the search for some contract work. If you or someone you know could use the help of a web developer with experience leading teams, building full-stack applications, adhering to accessibility guidelines, and being pleasant to work with, please let me know. :)

I was going to ask y'all to donate to @signal.org but I had to do it first. Now that I have, please consider learning about Signal, and why privacy is important, even when you don't have anything to hide, then consider donating to help Signal continue their work. signal.org/donate

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Fuck ICE

Regulators can take many lessons from the Grok/Twitter undressing scandal, but one of the most important is that Apple and Google are gaslighting when they claim store monopolies are necessary to protect us. Nothing could be further from the truth: infrequently.org/2026/01/nake...

Trying out @vivaldi.com. Happy so far. Thanks for the inspo, @brucel.bsky.social.

Immigration makes our country great.

Is there a way to ensure certain files that aren't in the app tree make it into the @svelte.dev Kit build output? I have a background process that pulls a file from a relative import. Works fine in dev. Can't find the file in prod :/

Having your own website is not always easy, but it's always worth it :)

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.
