Open source businesses are just different. You create way more value than you'll ever capture, but the trick was never to capture all of it. A slice of a massive pie can be worth more than 100% of a tiny one. AI agents dropping costs everywhere only make this model stronger. I wish more people knew about Mise and Mise tasks. Contributors to open source repos could just run "mise run" to discover what workflows are available. A simple, consistent developer experience across any project. 
Season’s Deployings. However you build, you belong here. 💚
Hoppy holidays! Our last Changelog of 2025 is here!

See you next year 💜 Production feels weird? Don’t panic. Run this:
• verify it’s real (not one user)
• check errors + top routes
• check p95/p99 (averages lie)
• compare before/after the last deploy
• segment by region + device
If you only do one step: compare to the last deploy.

yeah, we had sentry's SentryPropagator in there that was taking in the baggage header, removing that fixes this for the backend. wrote up the thing macwright.com/2025/12/22/s... typescript on both sides. (react router 7). just set tracePropagationTargets: [] in the ~tenth attempt today to get sentry to stop doing what it seems to be dead-set on doing

i appreciate that they wanted to expand the product to apm but doing it in a way that is super hard to turn off and constantly breaks other tools and ships a ton of extra deps has been a huge downgrade for me.
this is today's mystery only though, total time debugging sentry/otel this year is easily in the multiple days range
still kind of a mystery but what i'm starting to suspect is that sentry on the frontend sends a trace-id with fetch requests, which sentry on the backend uses as a trace.parent_id in opentelemetry, but then if you aren't doing frontend otel, that causes all my spans in hny to have missing parents
Build an agent that summarizes form submissions as they come in.
❌ No manual review needed.

Week off, so I dove into approachable Swift concurrency after years of postponing.
Thanks to @massicotte.org's impressive work + coding agents for analogies, I built mental models and made: https://fuckingapproacha...
Probably got things wrong, feedback welcome! Interactive examples coming.

AI Gateway with Gemini generates them on demand. Image CDN keeps them fast.
Netlify gives you the primitives to ship workflows like this.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7J-... Submitted a proposal for swift-build: external telemetry service integration via Unix sockets. No new dependencies, opt-in via env var, and compatible with OpenTelemetry backends like Jaeger and Zipkin.
https://forums.swift.org... Just submitted a talk proposal for Swift FOSDEM on how AI agents could become build copilots with the right structured data from swift-build. Fingers crossed 🤞
https://archive.fosdem.o... Most AI demos end at “it generated something.” This one ends at “it shipped.”
Prompt → live preview → refine → publish to prod (all inside Netlify).
