React's model won because good abstractions are good!

I saw this post saying there's a 10+ year vision for it, but haven't been able to find more info Also super curious how the PDS work plays into this vision as well -- something I wouldn't expect from an alt NPM client [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Feb 2026 20:25 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfpjbhz5g226https://blacksky.community/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3mehrb4flvc2jYeah!

I would have never considered even attempting this before.

We treat tool calling security *extremely* seriously on the team We use a no-trust-by-default model where every single tool needs to be manually approved.

For those unfamiliar I'm Hawk, a UX Engineer on the @vscode.dev team. As 2025 comes to a close, I've been wanting to get a pulse on how folks are writing code. Genuinely curious: What tool(s) do you use? What do you like/dislike about them? What do you wish your tool could do that it doesn't?28 Dec 2025 03:43 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mazfqgpamc22https://blacksky.community/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3ma5v5hh2nk2cFirst NYC winter has not disappointed so far. After 25 years in Seattle, feels like I’ve stepped into some kind of holiday movie — winter wonderland vibes go crazy17 Dec 2025 05:04 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma5v5hh2nk2chttps://blacksky.community/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3m2rpglxk222iThis makes me really sad. I absolutely *adore* my @frame.work laptop and have been such a big fan of the ethos and values that they have talked about striving for as a company up to this point. I feel so depleted by an industry that seems happy to ignore politics if a technology is cool enough. https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/7598609 Oct 2025 17:44 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2rpglxk222ihttps://blacksky.community/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3m2o4cqmadc2lFolks who know #atproto, I have Qs I still haven’t found answers to and would love any thoughts / opinions you have! 1. Given that most PDSs are hosted by @bsky.app, if an atproto app comes along that gets really popular, does that mean Bluesky is now covering the hosting costs of that app’s data?08 Oct 2025 07:23 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2o4cqmadc2lhttps://blacksky.community/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3m2hsbmnofs2z[Pinned Post] Do you like this feed?

Go check it out! I've loved @hipstersmoothie.com's Web Dev Trending, but have for a long time felt like it could be refined and improved. So with @danabra.mov's "we can just do things" I felt inspired to just make the change myself!
