Some personal news: I'm starting a job tomorrow Bloomberg Engineering. It'll be exciting to work someplace where JavaScript/TypeScript are key to the business. And more importantly, I'll be joining a fantastic group of people.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Next week's TC39 meeting has a packed agenda: 🔼 Amount 🔼 Array.prototype.pushAll 🔶 AsyncContext 🔶 Await Dictionary 🔼 Import Bytes 🔶 Intl Era Month Code 🔼 Iterator Chunking 🔶 new Global() 🔼 Non-extensible applies to private 🔼 Promise Adoption 🔼 Promise Predicate 🔶 Temporal

I've joined @whiskey.fm as a permanent show host! I'll be bringing #CSS content and overall more dorky nerdery to the pod. Tune in if you're into (web tech news || whiskey || whatnot) nerdy.dev/www-ep208

Between the time we launched the original Learn CSS course on web.dev and today, container queries landed in browsers and became Baseline Widely available! It was high time for an update, and we were lucky enough to have the team at OddBird work with us. Enjoy 9 new modules! web.dev/blog/learn-c...

terrific post, to which i'll add a couple of related thoughts. first: a lot of developers, especially juniors, tend to assume that other people's code is better than theirs, and so using a dependency (rather than a snippet) makes their codebase better this is very much not the case

gradient.style has finally - come out of beta - offers multiple background editing - is open source 🎉 nerdy.dev/gradient.sty...

TypeScript excitement 😉 TS 6.0 is planning a bunch of breaking changes to tsconfig options to deprecate some and change the defaults for others. This will simplify configuration and ease the transition to the Go-based TS 7.0 👍 The latest pitch is to enable strict type-checking modes by default 🎉

This is one I've been thinking about for a long time, and I do hope you'll read it, and share it. The stakes have never been higher, but it'ss never been clearer: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is exactly what NYC's entrepreneurial community needs. www.anildash.com/2025/08/20/z...

I spent hours and hours trawling through the sites of some of the world's best web developers, and despite the horrors I regularly experience in my daily work in Big JavaScript Territory, what I saw left me hopeful: infrequently.org/2025/07/links/

I have some questions about the capital structure of The Bear.

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

Tip: Chrome DevTools can override the content of Fetch/XHR requests! Useful for mocking APIs without waiting on backend changes.

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

@lostsubways.com has a good plan for future NYC subway expansion: - Extend the N/W trains to LaGuardia Airport - Integrate PATH with subway and extend to Newark Airport - Through-service for Metro-North, LIRR, and NJ Transit at Penn Station. www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/exp...

what's missing from Chrome DevTools? let's make a tasty list of features and goodies that would make our lives easier, and I'll aggregate it and bring it to the mother ship for 2025 potential work.

This goes hard.

LOST is streaming on Netflix—an excellent time to revisit the show, using the viewing guide I'm publishing in my newsletter (link in thread). Many think the story isn't coherent. I think it was. If you want to know why, read on: www.the-reframe.com/lost-001-obs...

"In January, as we covered an active criminal investigation into the alleged chemical spraying of pro-Palestinian protesters, University officials demanded we hand over Spectator’s photos and videos and intimidated journalists by telling us the NYPD was going to subpoena our organization."

A powerful and damning account of Columbia leadership’s failures this year from the undergraduate Student Council of Columbia College. This is basically exactly how I would tell it too www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have gotten a few questions about how to donate to student journalism outlets without supporting Columbia itself. The Columbia Spectator is an independent nonprofit with zero financial ties to the university, if you want to kick them some money.

Columbia’s page regretting its decisions in 1968 bears a banner reflecting some of the decisions it is making now. news.columbia.edu/content/new-...

Good for Slate for publishing this interview with two Columbia student newspaper editors. In all the endless discussion of the protests, the voices of actual students have been almost absent. slate.com/human-intere...

There is so much breathless commentary and speculation about what is happening on Columbia's campus. But we actually have some very good student journalists we can turn to with first hand reporting. I suggest everyone check it out. columbiaspectator.com

I'm the chair of the Spectator's board of trustees, and I cannot tell you how proud I am to see what they're doing while *also taking finals.* Volunteer your time to help young people in your industry; I can guarantee they'll impress you.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Just updated: Make Better Documents, a quick guide I wrote up with some tips on how to make your professional documents more effective. It covers many of the most common errors I’ve seen (or that I’ve _done_) and some suggestions on how to address them. anildash.com/2024/03/10/m...

OK, though, basically the situation is that 20–30 years ago we were ruled by a stultifying center-to-right-wing consensus and now the general public has moved left but also now right-wing extremists feel empowered to express and enact truly unhinged and radical messages and measures

Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_jM...

I don't think that's true. I think they're just far away

They’re just gonna Gamergate anybody they don’t like the look of. That’s what’s gonna happen for the next year. They’ll say you’re doing a communism or a DEI and come up with a reason the news likes later. It’ll happen to a lot of people. You’re just gonna have to hope regular people get sick of it.
