PROFILE

Ben Blank

During January 2026, contributed to nushell/nushell by developing a new umask command that enables users to set default file and directory permissions on Unix-like systems using intuitive string formats, simplifying permission management for newly created files. The implementation was designed to be platform-aware, ensuring the command is only available where the umask syscall is supported, thus preventing runtime issues. Additionally, addressed a documentation issue in typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint by correcting a misformatted link for the no-useless-default-assignment rule. Work involved Rust programming, Unix system command integration, and technical writing, with clear release notes prepared to communicate these updates to users.

January 2026 (2026-01) highlights: Delivered a documentation fix for the no-useless-default-assignment rule in typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint to ensure accurate references (commit 3fb03817d66e274560a4ed115e53fb2d770bf6a1). Added a new umask command in nushell/nushell to control default file and directory permissions on Unix-like systems, using string formats for permissions to simplify handling (commit 5ab1be9c014c251e1ebe8d04bad184de478a823b). These changes improve developer experience, reduce support questions, and extend Nu’s capabilities. The umask feature is platform-aware and will be unavailable on platforms that do not support the umask syscall.
