Will there be advent of typescript this year?

Here’s a question I get a lot: > “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?” I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself. But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

🆕 Knip for Editors Trust me, I've poured in A Ton of Love ✂️ This isn't just a plugin to show unused exports. It offers a unique way to view & navigate your code and connect the dots. Feels like there's so much potential here. Excited for you to try out the preview! 🙏 → github.com/webpro-nl/kn...

I could not believe what I saw in my emails today 🤯. Thank you so much @francoisbest.com 💖

I'm signing the @opensourcepledge.com, it's time to give back to the maintainers of the projects @nuqs.dev depends on. I just gave 2700€ ($3,212) to 18 maintainers & projects I use, love, and want to support. Happy Thanksgiving! 💖 nuqs.dev/blog/open-so...

🛫🇬🇧 London calling. I'll be there until Saturday for @reactadvanced.gitnation.org. Excited for the workshop on React Query I'm giving tomorrow and the people I will meet at the conf on Friday 🙌

📉 General trend on my blog (Year to Date) clearly points downwards - I _think_ fewer people are reading blogs these days and just get their summaries from AI. But those that do visit seem to read more and stay longer. It makes sense if those “How do I do X” visits are now missing because of AI.

📚 Have you ever seen a TypeScript type say: T extends any ? ... : never and wondered: why would you do that - that doesn’t do anything! Or does it? It does! I’m explaining it based on the `DistributiveOmit` type in my newest article:

I can’t seem to start a nextJs 16 project in @stackblitz.com, as it fails with: Error: `turbo.createProject` is not supported by the wasm bindings. at ignore-listed frames :/

What a great read! Also, this sounds like me 😅

🇬🇧 I'll be in London next week for @reactadvanced.gitnation.org, giving a workshop about React Query on Thursday. Who will be at the conf? Come and say hi 👋

📚 Great, I messed up the og:image and bsky won’t update it. Here’s the link again, this time with the correct image 🎉

I got a false positive error with `tsgo`, so I started `tsc` to verify. Then I noticed I haven’t updated tsgo in a while, so I: - looked up the latest version on npmjs - did a global pnpm install - verified the version - ran tsgo again and it was still faster than waiting for tsc to complete 🤣

Tooltip Components Should Not Exist, by @tkdodo.eu: https://tkdodo.eu/blog/tooltip-components-should-not-exist #tooltips #components

Trying to fix a flash of light-mode on my blog. It’s built with theme-ui. I visit the theme-ui docs. I’m greeted with a flash of light-mode 😂. Am I just cooked? theme-ui.com

💡For the first time in a long time, I have blogpost ideas lined up. Working on the @sentry.io codebase gave me lots of ideas to write about 😁

Path matching in a router? How hard can it be 🤷‍♂️. Hard to do correctly. Very hard to do fast on top of that. This is a great blog post about the recent core refactoring done in @tanstack.com router 🔥

I worked on this since Wednesday, only took me 4 refactoring PRs to get to a place where what I wanted to do is even possible. Please, let this be a reminder to only use a single source of truth for your state and don’t propagate it upwards from children in effects 😭. Future you will thank you 🙏

📦 [email protected] is out! 🚀 🐞 It fixes two bugs with @tanstack.com Router: - Trailing slash is no longer added on state updates - Custom history.state is maintained Try it out: pnpm add nuqs@latest

Tooltip Components Should Not Exist by @tkdodo.eu: tkdodo.eu/blog/tooltip...

I wish I knew this example before I had children so I could wander around saying that sentence 😂. If you don’t have children, do not miss this opportunity! > "All my children are goats" is a vacuous truth when spoken by someone without children

🔥 We’re so back 📢 React Vienna Meetup in December: 🗓️ December 4 · 18:00 CET 📍 @dynatrace.com · Wiedner Gürtel 13 · 1100 Vienna 💬 React Server Components in Kubernetes: Ship Happens by by Jan Peer Stöcklmair 💬 Reactive state management with Effect Atom by @fubhy.bsky.social

I just answered the State of React 2025 survey Now it's your turn! 🙏 survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Array.reduce where the accumulator is itself an Array should be linted against. There is almost always a different array function that is better readable and smaller scoped to do what you want.

Anyone else feel that way?

@arktype.io being absent from the options on validation libraries is the biggest faux-pas of the state of react survey @sachagreif.com 😔

Oh, someone is interested in my PR, who’s that? Oh ... every.single.time 🫠

📚 I haven’t written much at all about the “front of the front-end” on my blog, but since I’m now working on the design engineering team @sentry.io and also maintained the design-system at adverity for some time, I have opinions there as well 😬:

It seems that my blog is currently affected by the ongoing @cloudflare.social outage, at least for some of you. I can't even log in to the cloudflare dashboard atm.

You can't make this up. Like, literally.

maybe worth saying explicitly — i’m open to working on react again (react docs, or engineering work) if your company wants to sponsor me doing that work remotely from japan. meta definitely can’t (i’ve asked). at least one company comes to mind that can, but maybe there are others?

🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people. 🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event! 💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

i'm looking for a new job

What’s the latest take on checking `e.defaultPrevented` in event handlers of component libraries to allow consumers to override default behavior by calling e.preventDefault() onMouseEnter={(e) => { props.onMouseEnter?.(e); if (e.defaultPrevented) return; // do your stuff }} yay or nay?

People give `useEffect` a bad rap, but it isn't usually the source of the problem. The real problem is too many `useState`s. Devs fail to see how their data is connected and model it too discretely. As those connections appear, it is easier to synchronize than refactor the model. 1/
