Cool Things - August 2, 2026

It took me 6 months to catch up with my mail. And just 1 week of a new job to start to lose control of it again….

From Safari

• A Tour of WebAuthn – I still don’t get the Passkey hype. I know I should, but…
• What are git worktrees, and why should I use them? – worktrees are a must with agents
• Stacked pull requests – I only just learned of this feature last week. Another of those things I think we need to likely understand to effectively use the robots
• i-have-adhd – I appreciate the need to optimize token burn, but I dislike caveman mode, etc.
• The Laravel Scheduler Under the Hood – File under ‘know your tools’
• PHP Attributes: What, Why, How and When – Again, thing I know I should use
• UUIDs, ULIDs and Sqids: A Practical Deep Dive – This site is on fire with the articles.
• Multi-Account AWS Is About Ownership, Not Accounts – I like this framing
• Release on Demand – Is this oversimplified? Maybe. But also, this has been true for at least 25 years.
