This long transcript of a speech by @pluralistic@mamot.fr is worth reading. He talks about the #enshittification of work though AI and explains that the wet dream bosses are having about it means turning us into reverse centaurs: an all powerful machine riding a tiring meak human towards exhaustion.

https://badeplasser.fjordcleanup.org now shows the most recent water temperatures in #Oslo directly on the map.

No, this is not me how I feel when I deal with a legacy codebase without tests, but showing what we find in the water in and around Oslo. Trash from the last 100 years.

Journalen came to visit us last Sunday and wrote a great article about our work at Fjord CleanUP: https://journalen.oslomet.no/nb/innenriks/2026/04/dykker-etter-soppel-foler-vi-rydder-lordagens-festing

There is also a 3 minute podcast about it: https://soundcloud.com/radio-oslomet-514628695/rydder-akerselva-det-er-litt

#NPM 12, released on 8 July 2026, ends arbitrary code execution from your dependencies at install time as a default. I consider it the most important thing to happen to the npm CLI in years. It does not make your dependencies trustworthy. It just stops them from running before you have decided whether they are.

#NodeJS

On Monday (2026-07-27) Node.js will release new versions of 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x that fix HIGH security vulnerabilities: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2026-security-releases

"it appears that the tech industry's under-investment in people – its willingness to discard them – is being made worse by over-investment in AI. With more and more code being created, committed, and run on cloud services, we need more and more people checking the work and keeping the infrastructure up and running."

This is a really interesting summary of the work @thoughtworks@toot.thoughtworks.com has been doing to remove the source code review and enable LLMs to consistently produce high quality results: they built a review agent that codified the recurring PR feedback: mine the last 1,000 review comments, cluster them, turn the repeat offenders into invariants the agent enforces.

Today we went to the place in #Oslo that actually looks like Netflix depicts it in the #harryhole tv series: under water; where we found a lot of trash.

#TypeScript 6 is here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-6-0/

I'm sure™️ we're just holding it wrong:
#AI promised supreme productivity, but it’s actually straining workloads for employees—time spent emailing has doubled, and focused work sessions fell by 9%

You have to see this! Bernie Sanders talks to Claude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3AtWdeu_G0

Great to read that #TypeScript 7 is ready to use for type checking and brings a massive speed improvement!
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/progress-on-typescript-7-december-2025/

I've updated the @codefreeze@discuss.systems website and it's registration form. It's now open for your 2026 profile entry!

So, #Trello is changing their pricing plans and limits the number of collaborators in the free plan to 10. This will impact @codefreeze@discuss.systems, where we have been using it for the last years, with 80+ collaborators this year.

We are looking into options, like using Deck from Nextcloud, GitHub projects, or https://github.com/wekan/wekan (which is made in #Finland)...

Do you have any alternatives that you like?

Board game time!

What can we personally to do improve equality and opportunity for everyone?

• Check your biases (and for that learn about unconscious biases in the first place)
• Take the time to listen to stories from people affected by discrimination and make an honest effort to take it seriously
• Use your position of power to start the change for a more fair work environment, because everybody will benefit
• have the talk with dudes that trust you about what #feminism is

Now we worked on a #hexagonalArchitecrure kata guided by Aki: https://github.com/martinsson/Refactoring-Kata-Lift-Pass-Pricing

RE: @coderbyheart@chaos.social

This made my buy a ticket for Øyafestivalen in #Oslo this year, where they will play.

That's why you should migrate to #NPM v12, it prevents exactly this kind of attack: https://www.aikido.dev/blog/keyv-and-friends-compromised-in-npm-supply-chain-attack

Every package in the family received two new files, setup.mjs and Math_Symbol.js, along with a "preinstall": "node setup.mjs" entry added to each package.json. Anyone who ran npm install against an affected version would have had setup.mjs execute automatically before their install completed.

What a fun performance!
