incredible to see Andreessen Horowitz institute a jobs program for white men they admit are unqualified, after all that complaining that "DEI" was ruining their dreams of meritocracy techcrunch.com/2025/02/04/a1…

We use Heroku for a bunch of apps, and we've been unable to use review apps for nearly two weeks now. It's a disaster. I'm curious: Where are other teams (esp. in government) moving to from Heroku?
Heroku had a catastrophic security incident involving GitHub OAuth tokens on April 15. It's not resolved; Heroku customers still cannot use GitHub CI/CD integration. And hilariously, nobody is talking about it because nobody uses Heroku anymore 😂 status.heroku.com/incidents/…

It's important to know the context regarding the guy who just bought this place crowing about "Free speech online." The context is he has repeatedly gotten in trouble with the SEC for using twitter to manipulate stock prices. The free speech he cares about is securities fraud.

What web servers, platforms, and/or tools are folks using to manage large lists of URL redirects? Nginx, Varnish, HAProxy, maybe even Apache mod_rewrite? Or do you do this in your app server framework of choice? Hosted CDN?
You’ve tried surfing the web without images, but have you tried without text?

React Server Components seem cool. I'm wondering, though, whether anyone has designed a framework-agnostic rendering API that broadcasts (using a standard schema) which components are available and how to render them as HTML and/or embed + hydrate them on the client?

Lots of pitfalls to consider: * Security (sanitization/XSS, CSP) * Passing children (slots?) * Event handlers * Composition etc. etc.

So yeah, kind of a weird brain dump there, but if anyone has links to prior art I would be very interested in looking at them. Thanks!
