Introducing Tap: Repository Synchronization Made Simple | Bluesky
Just about every app built on AT needs data from a repository at some point. For many use cases – feed generators, labelers, bots – streaming live data through a Relay or Jetstream works well. But some applications need to go beyond what Jetstream was designed for, like tracking specific subsets of a repo, automatically backfilling a database when adding new repos to monitor, or even mirroring the entire Atmosphere.

Improving My Hardware Workflow With CI and Nix
One thing you might notice if you read my blog is that I do a lot of hardware projects. Generally, these include a board, some software, and possibly some extraneous components (like CAD design, such as a case). Software tooling is quite mature, but I find that hardware had traditionally lagged quite a bit behind. For a while, I just lived with this, but over the last few months I've put in a bunch of effort to improve my workflow.

Anatomy of a Lean Proof for Software Engineers
Intro I recently worked through a problem from a theory of computation textbook that asked me to prove a property of a language using finite automata. The informal proof is a simple constructive proof where you build an automaton and show that it recognizes the language. This is kind of similar to program verification, so I thought it’d be interesting to see what it takes to formalize the proof. Lean is a good choice for this, because its Mathlib has all the theorems for the problem.
Atlassian Enables Default Data Collection to Train AI
Atlassian will begin collecting customer metadata and in-app content from **Jira**, **Confluence**, and other cloud products by default on **August 17, 2026**, to train its AI offerings including `Rovo` and `Rovo Dev`. The change affects roughly **300,000** customers; metadata collection is mandatory for Free, Standard, and Premium tiers and cannot be opted out on those plans. Enterprise customers can opt out of metadata and in-app collection by default. Collected data will be retained up to **seven years**, with in-app data removed within 30 days after deletion or opt-out and models retrained within 90 days. Customers using customer-managed keys, Atlassian Government Cloud, Isolated Cloud, or with HIPAA requirements are excluded from collection.


Tips for building Bubble Tea programs
In the words of its authors Bubble Tea is a “powerful little TUI framework” for Go. It may be little but I found it had a steep learning curve before I could get truly comfortable with its power. I spent many a late night wrangling with broken layouts and unresponsive keys before learning the hard way where I had gone wrong. The result of my efforts is PUG, a full screen terminal interface for driving terraform:
Cognition | Agent Trace: Capturing the Context Graph of Code
We’re excited to join in Cursor, Cloudflare, Vercel, git-ai, OpenCode and others in support of [Agent Trace](https://agent-trace.dev/). As described in the spec, Agent Trace is an open, vendor-neutral spec for recording AI contributions alongside human authorship in version-controlled codebases.
