💥 New Changelog interview!

This week we’re joined by @drewdevault, talking about the Hare programming language 🐇

We discuss Hare (of course), why he’s so passionate about all things open source, the state of the language, fostering a culture that values stability, and oddly enough — what it takes to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich 🥪

There’s a power to that. I think that’s been a key to its rise, but also a key to it being so troubling, in reality…”

? New episode of The Changelog!

@evan is back to take @jerod & @adam deeper into the Fediverse ?

As many of us reconsider our relationship with Twitter, Mastodon has been by-and-large the target of migration. It helped popularize the idea of a federated universe of community-owned, decentralized social networks. And, at the heart of it all is ActivityPub ?

Today, Evan shares the details behind this protocol and where the Fediverse *might* be heading ?
