Figma’s Dylan Field will cash out about $60M in IPO, with Index, Kleiner, Greylock, Sequoia all selling, too

When Figma announced its initial hoped-for price range on Monday ($25-$28), it also revealed an unusual decision for its highly anticipated IPO. It will allow existing shareholders to sell more shares than the company plans to sell, by a high ratio. The company plans to offer about 12.5 million shares. Yet existing shareholders will be allowed to cash out of nearly 24.7 million shares, it said. In addition, should this IPO be as hot as everyone thinks it will be, existing shareholders will get

Discount available: Marshall's Major V headphones are worth it even at full price, but right now they're down to $111 -- or around 31% off -- on Amazon, which is still a great deal. I might not be a true battle-tested headphone expert like CNET's David Carnoy, but I still love headphones and I'm confident in what I like about them. My most recent pickup, the Marshall Major V on-ear Bluetooth headphones, quickly became a pair that I adore. What is Marshall? Marshall is a British audio hardware

Skygazers have a lot to look forward to over the next month. A couple of dueling meteor showers are gracing the skies later this month, and they will be joined by perhaps the most popular meteor shower of the year: the Perseids meteor shower. Perseids are known for their bright fireballs and plentiful meteors. The show started on July 17, and will run through Aug. 23. The reason the Perseids meteor shower is so popular is twofold. First, it takes place in the summer, so going outside and watch

Over 1,000 CrushFTP servers exposed to ongoing hijack attacks

Over 1,000 CrushFTP instances currently exposed online are vulnerable to hijack attacks that exploit a critical security bug, providing admin access to the web interface.

Debugging Bash Like a Sire (2023)

Many engineers have a strained relationship with Bash. I love it though, but I’m very aware of it’s limitations when it comes to error handling and data structures (or lack thereof). As a result of these limitations I often see Bash scripts written very defensively that define something like: set -euxo pipefail These are bash builtin options that do more or less sensible things. e: Exit immediately when a non-zero exit status is encountered u: Undefined variables throws an error and exits t

Microsoft SharePoint servers are under attack because of a major security flaw

Speeding up my ZSH shell

Super quick one I want to document here! I got myself on a side quest, again! No biggie, my ZSH shell was taking ages to load. When I say ages, more like 5+ seconds every time I opened a new terminal, that sort of thing can add up. This is just something I’ve lived with over the years, nothing has prompted this other than me wondering why it’s slow, then searching for how to profile it. So, what’s actually slowing things down? Zsh comes with this super handy profiling tool called zprof . Here’s

I tried vibe coding in BASIC and it didn't go well

With the rise of LLM systems (or “AI” as they are annoyingly called), the term “vibe coding” is all the rage recently. Vibe coding is when you rely almost entirely on these “AI” system to write your code for you via a series of drawn-out conversations. Putting on my cranky old man hat, I find most of it rather frustrating. Now I’m not some retro-sycophant who refuses to use modern tools. I’ve been a software professional for over 30 years at this point and I’ve used lots of tools throughout the
