Typescript became the #1 programming language on GitHub. Who better to talk about this new ranking than creator, Anders Hejlsberg? 👀 Get his thoughts on this year’s Octoverse findings. 💭 ⬇️ github.blog/company/type...

Today on the pod, TypeScript wins as #1 GitHub language! Learn about type-safe regex with ArkRegex, Biome 2.3's Vue/Svelte/Astro support, and Elide's mind-blowing polyglot runtime. share.transistor.fm/s/2cd63947 #typescript

People talk about LLM non-deterministic behavior like it's a bad thing when it comes to MCP. But... we've always had to deal with non-deterministic behavior from users. Have you ever done a usability test? Human users are WILD. We adjust UX to accommodate. Same with MCP servers cuz LLM is now a user

always

This last week was busy: @deno.land Deploy revamp, @vitest.dev 4, @nuxt.com 4.2, @nextjs.org 16. And don't forget React Native 0.82! Plus community insights on TypeScript casting & type-safe API clients. share.transistor.fm/s/e0ee2a5f #typescript

@riversidefm.bsky.social did something happen, the editor feels a lot faster (like, a LOT faster) this week Did you turn on the React Compiler or something? 👀

Big news in this year's GitHub Octoverse report: TypeScript is now the most-used language on GitHub! We are thrilled and grateful to see the TypeScript and JavaScript community continue to grow and thrive. 🚀 Read up more at github.blog/news-insight...

In This is Strategy, Seth Godin talks about how to make change/increase impact by understanding how systems work. Problem: How do you get people to adopt DMARC to increase email security? People don't care about it, it's too technical/intimidating. Saying it's more secure doesn't motivate anyone.

This is hilarious and a good feature. I'll have to test it out. I don't exactly mind bots consuming my game detail/release pages but that's about it. I separately plan to optimize anonymous pages like that for SEO anyway, so I don't want to block them from crawlers.

What an awesome enhancement to @vitest.dev v4. It includes standard schema integration, but also browser mode is no longer experimental!! 😁 vitest.dev/blog/vitest-... Seriously try out browser mode!

Gotta say this is huge bummer @anthropic.com; why is this limited to Teams/Enterprise? It means I can't demo/test a remote MCP server without DCR. I can't sign up for a 5 member team plan when there's a team of 1. 🫠 I mean I guess I can make 4 more email addresses 🤷‍♂️ Also it's not clear *what* plan.

How the pros compare travel logistics lol. Honestly flying to Montreal might almost be cheaper, depending on price difference!

Dealing with Avis is like talking to a toddler. They don't understand how to modify a booking to allow drop off in Canada from the US, even though the site clearly states it's allowed with special authorization. They say the booking is cancelled even though I clearly see it on the site.

My app has no dependencies on cloud platform services for the frontend server, only in background jobs. That said, I'm still dependent on Vultr being up and Cloudflare not having an outage. But it does feel good not to depend on AWS/Azure/GCP when *using the app* normally.

Right now MCP client ecosystem is like early day browser landscape. Each one implements the spec a little differently. Claude attaches prompts as JSON whereas VS Code appropriately formats and can even attach embedded resources properly.

Hardware that still works 30 years later. 🤯 Have to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors for Halloween 🎃 I think I'll still need to get a AV cable at the local retro store but RF works for now.

I looked for a clear, modern guide I could share… couldn’t find one that matches how we write Node.js today. So I wrote it. Full article: nodejsdesignpatterns.com/blog/reading...

Why do I need to login just to download Nvidia gfx drivers? Why are the new gfx drivers 700mb? This is why I don't game on PC anymore, it's stupid, I'm too old for this shit.

I feel like it's cheating if I contribute to my repo for #Hacktoberfest but maybe I shouldn't feel guilty. OSS is OSS. I do have a task for @excaliburjs.com I need to do before the next board meeting tho.

More random thoughts on .NET and SSR. This is only a problem because of frameworks. The server code has to be written in JS because the frontend is in JS. When I used Knockout, I could server render most of the HTML because it used declarative markup and the client would take it over.

I need to refresh my vanilla CSS knowledge because there's stuff in here I haven't seen yet, like `@layer` and :where frontendmasters.com/blog/the-coy...

What is "design"? Spoiler: it is not "just" about the appearance of something. www.theicod.org/en/professio... "Regardless of the application, designers follow design methodology and a set of fundamental notions, which inform their approach. 🧵

Alrighty, since the prototype works now in dev mode, prod mode, under SSR, with calling into .NET, I've made the repo public just for fun. There is no public API yet, and it's not wrapped up into its own package. But you can see how it works at least! PS. Don't use it! github.com/kamranayub/d...

OK, I have it working now calling into .NET from the SSR loader in both dev and prod modes 🔥🔥🔥 Here's the performance comparison on my machine: - Node (npm start): 120ms cold, 6ms warm - .NET (dotnet run): 235ms cold, 18ms warm So roughly 2X slower, but that's still *really good* IMHO.

This is a .NET C# server rendering a TypeScript React Router app with: - ✅SSR - ✅React Server Components - ✅Server loader - ✅Suspense (response streaming) With request times in the ~30-45ms range (warmed) with in-process calls and embedded Node.js youtu.be/_u2ia16_dEw #dotnet #typescript #react

Pseudocode for how I'm thinking of wrapping the SSR hosting code. I think this is all you'd need. Adding node would register the embedded runtime service. Adding React Router SSR would map assets and endpoint handler that is compatible with React Router server entrypoint.

⚔️🔥Excalibur v0.31.0 is out! TypeScript Game Engine! Tons of new features, QOL, and fixes! Now with NPM Provenance! * New SoundManager for managing groups of audio * ECS query enhancement for "all", "any", and "not" querys * Animation data storage * EX Playground! * Dev Containers! * And lots more!

HAHA WTF I got it working! 🔥

Suddenly have a great urge to try and see if I can get react-router to work with this 🤯 github.com/microsoft/no...

Today on the pod, TS 6.0 defaults, fresh ECMAScript proposals (no frozen privates, Array.pushAll, iterator chunking), Cap'n Web RPC, Python kwargs in TS, and running TS on DOS (and PlayStation?)! share.transistor.fm/s/db6f3035 #typescript

This is pretty mind blowing 🤯 Also, just the Worker Isolates tech itself is awesome. Much to talk about on the pod here next week.

Without having any extra context except for what's in this post, I'd say this is terrible advice. In fact, I'd say it's very harmful. This person needs to speak to a fee-only, fiduciary, financial advisor. world.hey.com/jason/what-t...

Well, this was the fastest merch I've ever bought, but then also the fastest to arrive, wtf

I don't know who needs to hear this but did you know ALL your travelers on an airline [can] accumulate miles? I just realized this, scrambled to make family accounts, and have reclaimed 5k miles -- but we've lost out on past years' trips because of the 12mo limit on requesting lost miles.

I've almost never had a use case for React Portals but today I did. I'm using React Router and have a layout for a subset of my routes that use a Modal container. The Outlet is within the modal body. However, there are times when I want to render a custom modal footer.

Guess what!? Pure @typescriptlang.org @github.com Actions with no build process now work! I made this demo at github.com/bmuenzenmeye...

#TypeScript continues to shape how teams build reliable software. Use this roadmap to level up your skills and stay ahead in the world of web development.

This will be good to discuss on the pod next week. There is a reason I stick with .NET on the server side and am not planning to go "full stack" TS. But I do love TS on the frontend. I wish I could have a more unified DX but there's a lot to be said about having a runtime type system.

I still use Redux in 2025 and I'm not even using the nice DX of Redux Toolkit or RTK Query. For debugging, Redux is awesome. stefvanwijchen.com/react-and-re...

You don't want AI coding tools to "get better." Because LLMs are already great at writing text, and then this happens. The first book is real, the rest are AI copycats wanting to get a piece of the pie. Don't think that won't happen to software. They don't have to work, as long as they get your $$$.
