Next week, I'm traveling to Japan and Australia. My goal is to connect with the local #Drupal community in each country, discussing the future of Drupal, learning from each other, and collaborating. See dri.es/drupal-adventures-in-…. Hope to see some of you there!

Open Source Initiative has fought this battle many times now. Many companies have claimed that their new business case is “special” and needs more protections than Open Source can offer…but they also want the halo effect of Open Source. You simply CANNOT have it both ways 1/2
the industry came to a consensus on that over a decade ago. a consensus that helped open source grow dramatically and become the default approach across wide swaths of software. AI players have simply chosen to ignore that consensus because it’s inconvenient.

Have you ever built a site with a modern JS front-end with the content managed in markdown? If so, I'd love to ask you a few questions.

Woah. A new dawning of computing is starting to enter the scene. The next 10yrs will be awesome.
Built a command line chatbot in Python with the ChatGPT API. 16 lines of code. I'm not sure anyone's ever shipped a more powerful devtool than OpenAI.

Twitter does some things so darn well, like how their embeds work, the web app, the related tweets, how the app works when you don't have a good connection... if you're an engineer that worked on that stuff and want to do it again, HMU

Yes!!! City streets for the people!
Yesterday's election was a huge one for transforming streets and improving public transportation in San Francisco. Prop J appears set to pass by a wide margin (with I similarly failing) and L is on track to pass, too.

This announcement of Guac from Google is huge! This could dramatically improve development programs and security as a whole. Curious on the collaboration with @tidelift though - seems a perfect pair. security.googleblog.com/2022…
Yes, please!!

This is great news - love seeing well-used frameworks transition to neutral parties to help it grow!
BIG NEWS: @Meta has transitioned @PyTorch to the Linux Foundation 🔥 Since 2017, PyTorch has grown to become a leading #AI framework. To accelerate progress in AI, PyTorch is moving to a new, independent #PyTorchFoundation. Learn more: hubs.la/Q01m2S340
