I was laid off last week. I'm excited to start a new chapter where I can put my knowledge and dedication to work. I believe every chapter closes to make room for something more rewarding. I'm keen to discover the next opportunity. Learn more: www.linkedin.com/pos... #OpenToWork

I asked AI to write code. It did. I asked Git to help. It did not. Jujutsu, however, quietly stepped in and handled the situation. Now I have an AI native workflow that somehow works. Details here: ianbull.com/posts/jj-vibes

The Bun / Anthropic thing is fascinating to me, because I did something similar with Llama.cpp and Deno 2 years ago using Rust FFI. ianbull.com/posts/llamas...

LLMs are about to gain first-class, built-in computation. ianbull.com/posts/bun-an...

Building my deck with vibes... Vibe Decking? ianbull.com/posts/practi...

So I wrote a thing redmonk.com/jgovernor/on...

Time doesn't stand still. After 6 years away from J2V8 I took a stab and updating it, and that was a lot of work. I've published 6.3.4 (it was supposed to be 6.3.0, but there were a few failed releases today). ianbull.com/posts/j2v8-6...

The Jays were last place last year and they just came *this* close to winning The World Series. But the Dodgers won and that’s how it goes. I grew up in Toronto and seeing them win back to back World Series will forever be a one of my greatest childhood memories. I’ll always love them. Go Jays Go! 🇨🇦

I remember when it was 4-1. I remember when it was 8-1. And I was at game 7 against LA in '93... This was harder.

Current status. And I can't figure out if I'm the parent or the child.

Man, if Kiké tries just a LITTLE HARDER to catch that ball in the ninth, the Blue Jays win.

I decided to (re)build my deck. How it started (Oct 2024). How it's going (Oct 2025).

Back to building V8 from source. I miss you, my old friend.

Reallly @sportsnetpr.bsky.social. An outage during the World Series, right after you raised your fees.

@sogrady.org I assume you saw Pedro last night. Yankees Lose! Yankees Lose! And who's the Yankees Daddy... Vladdy Is Your Daddy.

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

@downgoesbrown.bsky.social It really does seem like it's time for Part Five. www.downgoesbrown.com/2014/05/mapl... In 2015 a new era began. It feels like that might have come to and end.

I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? if u see this post ur getaway vehicle

I'm old enough to remember the supply chain issues from COVID.

Canadian votes are counted using the metric system.

@downgoesbrown.bsky.social I assume you have to stay up for the late game and handle the Goalie Interference calls from the league?

@downgoesbrown.bsky.social Just getting ready for the playoffs. Is there a consensus on what type of chips to get? Do we eat them? Also, my daughter is getting into the superstitious, should she wear her Marner shirt to school this week?

I've built a number of LLM based dev tools, including a Code Review tool and Risk Analysis tool, and this matches my experience too. I've settled on Rust as my control language, but I wonder if @deno.land would be a good fit for these small, focused agents, especially with its permission model.

Every time I look back Didn't realize that I was better off than now

Bro is on point

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 vimeo.com/1056619122/f...

i’m old enough to remember when serving as a blatant mouthpiece for Russia would end a career. i miss those days. what an absolute craven display this is on Rubio’s part, on the President’s part, and, unfortunately, my country’s.

@kevin.mn Hi Kevin, sorry to bother you directly. Do you know if there is a way to file API Breaking changes with OpenAI? A string in the assistant API changed from snake_case to kebab-case on Friday, and broken a few libraries. Not sure if it was intentional.

A strategic reserve of very large numbers that were produced through a guessing game. That's a bold strategy, lets see if it pays off.

Want to play around with LLMs in 5 minutes? Check out this quickstart from @kitsonkelly.com with Deno Jupyter🦕, Ollama 🦙, and Deepseek 🐳 deno.com/blog/the-din...

if literally anyone involved stopped to think about this for more than two seconds, they might realize it’s based on the idea that all mistakes can be fixed. which is wrong. which is why move fast and break things should never be used anywhere near a government, where mistakes kill people.

This entire video is great, but this 30seconds in particular does a great job of succinctly describing the problem with the trajectory that we ALL are on.

That wasn't small. It gave the house a good shake.

At hockey practice this morning, the kids are all working on their pass from the boards to the wide open player standing in the middle.

Oracle justified its JavaScript trademark by claiming Node.js — now it wants that ignored #FreeJavaScript deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

I though Version Control Systems were a solved problem, and then I tried github.com/jj-vcs/jj. This is certainly a tool I didn't know I needed. It's pretty awesome!

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

I don't view this as something Trump has done, this is something the US has done. The US has kicked their best friend straight in the nards. The people of the US did this to the people of Canada.

YOU ALL WANT TO KNOW THIS. And yes, I realize I'm yelling.

I wrote a short tutorial on combing Axum, Tracing & Logging in Rust.

@downgoesbrown.bsky.social can I assume the Sedin twin episode is not coming out? Or should I keep this in my feed for one more year, just in case?

@sogrady.org I was cleaning my office and came across the new kingmakers. I wonder how things have changed in the 12 years since you wrote this. In the age of LLMs, mass layoffs and higher interest rates, are developers still the KingMakers? Have you thought about writing a follow-up?
