After seeing some responses to a Wikipedia post, I'm reminded of something which I'll use this account to say, because it should be said loudly and often — hate is disruptive, it has no place in software development, and standing up to it is not "political".
Thankfully, removing it from here is a simple defederation.

We're always able to improve, but our 'code of conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces' (https://w.wiki/_si2) is pretty well enforced.

Our goal is to lower the barrier to performance profiling. The WikimediaDebug browser extension for Firefox and Chromium, can now profile the backend MediaWiki PHP process, and turn it into an interactive flamegraph, powered by Excimer and Speedscope.

What are flamegraphs, when do you need it, and how does it work?

Some of the highlighted #MediaWiki changes:

• Citation and footnote editing can now be started from the reference list when using the visual editor
• Clicking on a link to Special:RecentChanges will no longer unintentionally change your preferences
• Bots will no longer be prevented from making edits because of URLs that match the spam blacklist
