What if you took the core abstractions of Plan 9 from Bell Labs and put them in a WebAssembly module?

A highly satisfying and tense series finale! The @Victoriocity folk (bestselling authors @chrssgdn and @JenSugden) really are very good at weaving the many threads of mystery stories

Really enjoyed this talk about #ToolsForThought from @Mappletons youtu.be/yKjxhoavCRM?si=EkYK… The more we explore Domain-Driven Design @pensionbee the more I realise our cultural practices fail to adequately explore problem spaces

This quote from Doug Engelbart sums it up well - computers should help people approach a problem space, understand it and find solutions. Particularly in the context of group work, I would argue our tools and practices regularly fail that brief

Can't recommend this book enough! And with early access passes thrown in to the most excellent @Victoriocity podcast series 3, it should be a no-brainer :D

It’s High Vaultage publication day! 🎉
A tale of private detectives, kidnappings, unsolvable bank break-ins, and spiralling nefariousness in the chaos of Even Greater London, 1887.
We (@chrssgdn and @JenSugden) hope you love it. Happy reading 📕 👸 🤖

I don't read many books thanks to having a 1-year old, but after a recommendation for "The Culture Code" by @DanielCoyle from @richmarr (VP Engineering @pensionbee) I couldn't put it down. Psychological safety, belonging, managing for creativity vs proficiency #WorldBookDay2024

They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression.
That's kind of beautiful.
