Russell Power provides software engineering examples and advice for the exploration-explotation dilemma:

How much energy should we invest into getting “just this next bug fixed and working” versus taking a sip of tea and then you should change your approach or change your job?

Mayor Matt Mahan wants to end homelessness in San Jose neighborhood by neighborhood.

When it comes to my proposal that we use a brief, targeted interaction with the criminal justice system to compel those who repeatedly refuse private shelter to instead engage with treatment, we’ve been talking a lot lately about the moment of accountability. The moment where things get so bad that we need to take action to help those suffering and the broader community. But we don’t talk a lot about the many moments that come before and the many moments that will come after because of our action at this critical juncture.

So let’s start from the beginning.

Matt Mahan is leading the way. Others need to step up. The County of Santa Clara has a responsibility to build out treatment beds. Judges need to make wise judgements. I hope this policy will free people from addiction and suffering. Go read the Mayor’s plan. Let’s make it our reality together.

Dan Abramov:

Your components don’t call your API.

Instead, your API returns your components.

Why would you ever want to do that?

Great long read which pairs nicely with today’s React Router RSC Preview.

RSC is mindbending, I won’t lie. Sometimes you have to think inside-out. But personally, I think RSC is awesome. The tooling is still evolving but I’m excited for its future. I hope to see more technologies thoughtfully blending the boundaries.
