@apisyouwonthate.com, latest newsletter is out. A jam-packed issue covering a terrible train API, how sustainable APIs lead to performant APIs, the Express 5 migration, and more. apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/b...

A very interesting thread from @willow.sh, why would you make a package called —frozen-lockfile?

Did you know there are at least 139 packages on npm that start with a hyphen/dash? Curiously some of them look like CLI flags! --frozen-lockfile --fix-lockfile --legacy-peer-deps --ignore-scripts --ignore-workspace-root-check You've also got the package with a single dash for a name `-`

I can’t wait to start sharing results…..

one of the most exciting projects we have in @e18e.dev right now is to measure/track perf of all popular meta-frameworks if you're interested in this or maintain a framework, reach out! its a fun, difficult project 😀 & we're very lucky to have @alexanderkaran.bsky.social leading it (no pressure 😂)

had a very good first @e18e.dev project leads catch up today! @willow.sh @fuzzyma.bsky.social @thealexlichter.com @alexanderkaran.bsky.social @paolo.ricciuti.me all made it along 🎉 these are some of the best people, so lucky to be able to collab with them 🙏 so many good ideas in the works

today we distributed some of our sponsors fund to a few people for their great work: - @hyeseong.kim - @webpro.nl - @devminer.xyz - @superchupu.dev - @lukeed.bsky.social thanks so much to you all for being part of the community and helping out so many of us. your work is incredibly valuable 💙

Astro 5.17 is now available! Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.

new release of the @e18e.dev eslint plugin! this plugin provides a bunch of modernisation and performance rules, categorised by purpose. give it a try and let us know how it goes 💙

I think the best part of open source is the amazing people you meet and learn from. Honestly been blown away and learnt so much in the last two months than I have in most jobs.

Come and help us do some digging, some testing and tell a great story with data.

the next version of `create-nuxt` will be 30% smaller thanks to this amazing work from @pi0.io improving `giget` 🔥 👉 see github.com/unjs/giget/...

1. if you use coding agents you know they struggle the more code they have to deal with 2. LLMs produce verbose code that's easy for a human to cut in half hard to dispute these two facts, put them together and you have the answer to "code doesn't matter ai can just fix it"

@e18e.dev is an amazing community with some incredible plans for this year. Take a read to see what we have got in store.

Can’t wait for the first @e18e.dev and friends edition! ✨ Honored to host the show 🙌🏻

exciting news! we're starting a new monthly live streamed show: e18e & friends. hosted by the great @thealexlichter.com! monthly we will catch up with friends from the community, with a focus on performance and what cool things they've been building lately first guest TBA soon, streaming 10 Feb 🎉

The web ecosystem is better because of communities like yours.

@e18e.dev is an amazing community doing incredible work in the JS ecosystem.

✂️ Knip v5.82.0 is out → Improved support for @svelte.dev + new SvelteKit plugin → In the Editor Extension, quickfix can directly install missing dependency (thanks @alexanderkaran.bsky.social) Enjoy your Sunday 🫖 ☀️

Upgrading OpenAPI.tools to Astro V6. Such a smooth migration, thank you for the great guide @astro.build

We are joining Cloudflare! astro.build/blog/joining...

I love @e18e.dev

@apisyouwonthate.com is back with its first Newsletter of the year. In this issue, check out the new version of openapi.tools we released over the Christmas period, along with a look at Postman's recent buying spree. #OpenAPI #APIs apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/o...

🌶️ take for 2026: If we don’t continue to invest in teaching junior software engineers, we will end up with the tech equivalent of TSA agents trying to review AI-generated code. They will have no idea what they’re looking at.

✂️ If you're not using knip yet and don't know what you're missing out, come to any of the confs I'll be at this year and I'll tell you all about how we used it at @sentry.io to remove almost 3% of our frontend codebase!

Knip is amazing and you should be using it.

✂️ 🆕 We're publishing on the Open VSX Registry as well → Get it here: open-vsx.org/extension/we... → Updated knip.dev/blog/for-edi... 🎁 Bonus feature: on hover of a dependency in package.json, usage locations across code & config files pop up

we released the new @e18e.dev ESLint plugin today! 🎉 this comes with 3 categories of rules: modernisation, performance, replacements it also works with oxlint and most of the rules have auto-fixes 🛠️ try it out and let us know any feedback/rule suggestions in discord/bsky/github!

What if we rely on AI for the one thing it’s definitely not good at?

Online recipes were already full of nonsense pre AI it forced me back to books. I love the cook books I brought. Got a dessert focused one and hot dam my lemon tarts are now a killer treat.

@apisyouwonthate.com last newsletter for the year apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/d.... In this issue, we look ahead to OpenAPI 3.3, Reddit's service migration, the transition from Laravel Vapor to Laravel Cloud, and AI in API design. #OpenAPI #apis #laravel

Digging through the in-laws' old computer stuff, I found good old Microsoft Office 2000. I kind of miss not having to subscribe to every piece of software. #microsoft #computers

Don't even know if I should build some LLM-powered tools to fight back magic with magic, or if I should just quit altogether. Agents create the illusion that you can accomplish complicated work with simple prompts, and people become less appreciative of the hard work behind the scenes.

Most things in tech are simply another way to sell ads lol! www.adweek.com/media/google...

A little troll at NestJS's expense, a killer web framework for APIs in Go, Bruno gets an uplift, and more in the latest newsletter from @apisyouwonthate.com. apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/n...

A reflection on my time with Stoplight and some great articles from our very own @philsturgeon.com in this issue of the @apisyouwonthate.com newsletter. apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/g...

"Let's hear it for the UN of Javascript! Vite: The Documentary is finally here. If you missed the premiere, it's OK!!! Here's the link so you can watch it again, and again and again. youtu.be/bmWQqAKLgT4 "

When running my own startup, we used to have a saying: A deal is only a deal when the money is in the bank. Handshake, contract or commitment mean nothing.

This could have been Australia, but thanks to John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison, the Minerals Council and the BCA, we wasted nearly 20 years subsidising gas and coal instead. What a waste.

After working with #Kotlin at Atlassian for backend development, I'd love to see this pattern make its way into JavaScript. es.discourse.group/t/array-prot...

OpenAPI 3.2 is finally here. Check out the latest @apisyouwonthate.com newsletter. #OpenAPI apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/o...

The State of JS 2025 survey is now open! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

Someone sent me the "Just JavaScript" course by @danabra.mov. It was a joy revisiting the basics with a well-thought-out mental model that made the learning journey fun. I would recommend this course for anyone picking up JavaScript. #javascript justjavascript.com

I have been using TanStack for years, but I got some amazing lightbulb moments during this course. Highly recommend. TanStack has helped me build lightning-fast tooling for FinOps at work, and I love using their libraries. #react #tanstack ui.dev/certificate/...

Today I’m a very proud and happy open standards maintainer: OpenAPI 3.2 is now available! The release notes are a good place to find out what’s new (it’s a lot!) github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-... Huge thanks to our contributor community, you are amazing!!

Slack changes its API rate limits, another sign that the web is becoming more closed off due to LLMs. Ktor is giving you even more reasons to use it, all that and more in this issue of the @apisyouwonthate.com newsletter. apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/a...
