- I made a new thing! like the semver package, but for PURLs: www.npmjs.com/package/purl `npx purl $specifier` or `npx purl $purl` will validate, normalize, and provide parse info. add `--check` & it'll contact the relevant registry & verify the package and version exist (you can import it too)
- I made something new: an eslint plugin to validate your npm ecosystem lockfiles! It supports npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, and vlt, and it's already helped find a supply chain security attack vector inside a fortune 500 tech company. www.npmjs.com/package/esli...
- ran into my first webpage using developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... today, and i do NOT like it

- Excited to announce I've joined @socket.dev as an Open Source Architect :-)
- OH at @github.com Universe day 0, in a session on “beyond the bus factor”, discussing accidental leadership: “you didn’t choose the maintainer life…”
- I left @hero.dev earlier this month. It's a wonderful thing to be able to truthfully say it's the best job I've ever had (not even the first time I've gotten to say that!). I love the entire team & the culture… leaving is bittersweet. I'll announce my new gig in a week or three.
