We've just published Reanimated 4 stable. It took literally months to complete since we started working on it back in 2024. blog.swmansion.com/reanimated-4...

Once again I’m standing next to my car that’s on a train that’s on rails in a tunnel underwater What a trip! 8 countries, 2 weddings, countless new & old friends, and endless memories ❤️ So much love for the car everywhere I went 🏎️ Now to head back home 🏠

Yesterday I was on the @learnwithjason.dev show, despite me not being great at ... speaking... 😅 I really enjoyed the explanations we got to especially the signals part youtu.be/6pBMaaX4jIg?...

Last year we started filming a Community Documentary but I put it on pause as I wasn’t convinced of the narrative Now, I have a great narrative and restarting it! Who wants in? Shoot me a DM and let’s figure it out 😉

Felt Diorable might delete later 💁‍♂️

@willow.sh and I will be talking about testing with Vitest Browser Svelte at the next @sveltesociety.dev London event 2025 June 25, that's Wednesday next week! We're being hosted by Codat If you want to host the next @svelte.london get in touch!! guild.host/events/svelt...

I’ve put _so much thought_ into the holistic data architecture for @guild.host to be able to perform well in any geography, I’m glad it shows ❤️ Thanks @juanlu.space ☺️

Brb doing the Italian mountain monk side quest 🇸🇲

Alp! Charizard encountered a rock type! 🪨🇦🇹

Spent the day debugging the Autobahn 🏎️🇩🇪

🎊 Next up - the pre-party. I was busy talking to folks so the only picture I got is a “making of” when @tazsingh.com was doing much better pictures with his camera

Saying goodbye to the Netherlands with this racecar 🏎️🇳🇱

✨ Jun 25th at 6:30PM: Svelte London - June 2025 Svelte London June is happening at Codat! Come for the networking, food, and Svelte chat. 🍕🗣️ Talks include Vitest Browser Svelte testing & one more TBA! 🎤 Check it out 👉 https://guild.host/e/tsjmcb

So good hanging out with @svelte.dev developers like @danielroe.dev

It's possible you might even be able to claim your car converted into a submarine for the journey, just like 007's Lotus in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.

I came to Belgium to visit this filthy animal, and there’s also a dog in this picture 🐶 @jovidecroock.com

Does this count as “I took the train to Amsterdam”?

I’m standing next to my car that’s on a train that’s on rails in a tunnel underwater See you tomorrow @jsnation.gitnation.org @reactsummit.gitnation.org 🙌

GraphQL London is always a hit. Make sure to check it out if you're around!

Had a lovely surprise yesterday: @oliverdunk.com reached out to let me know that my talk at #SvelteLondon about building cross-browser extensions was featured on the Chrome Developer blog 🥳 #Svelte #WXT

🙋‍♂️ I was there to lol them off stage in Florida Silly Facebook mixing HTML with JavaScript and CSS. That’ll never work loooool *1 year later* So uh you’re using it too then? Ya pretty good innit 😒

Who's using GraphQL to power a Public API? What are your experiences? Would love to chat

👋 Who will I be seeing at JSNation & React Summit next week??

New lens who dis

Can’t wait for providers to just build SSR for React Native Web so everyone can get that capability

Let me also take this opportunity with Preact being a hot-topic now that I write about Preact topics on my blog! If you want to know more about the new diffing algorithm, you can look at the source code and read a few of my articles!

I love catching up with everyone at AppJS but particularly love hearing from other founders They all exist in a future state and it’s super exciting for me to hear more about what that is and how they’re getting there

This, we need more kindness around these ‘tribes’. All of us working on these tools put a lot of time and love in it, all of us have our reasons to prefer working with x or y. Let’s be accepting of that!

Making my yearly pilgrimage to Krakow for AppJS 🙏 See ya soon!

Excited to have played a role in bringing the biggest JS conference brand in the world to my home town ❤️ See you in Toronto! 🇨🇦

had a check of a @dadsintech meetup this month. if you are a dad in tech and want to not feel alone in raising your kids and want to bounce ideas off of other dads come hang with us next month! guild.host/dads-in-tech...

Conference organisers, if you have talks on AI, please make sure they aren't uncritical hype. Invite people from non-CS backgrounds: people who did philosophy, linguistics, arts, (cognitive) psychology and maths are all likely to provide very useful insights on AI.

Shipped a pretty massive front-end infrastructural improvement to @guild.host yesterday 😍 Been in the works for a little while. Took some additional effort and refinement to get it over the line. I'm happy with it, and it appears to be working well A few more things to come for this to enable more

Rick Astley finally gave up

On a custom PDS 😍

#camera Sky, should I get a 70-200 or the 35-150? I already have a 24-70 so 70-200 makes sense, but also like the thought of leaving 1 lens on at all time (i.e. 35-150)

I enjoy being stealthy at events/conferences/online 🥷 Some folks list every ex they’ve ever had, their full credentials, what they had for breakfast, etc I generally don’t even have a LinkedIn (have one now for ~~reasons~~) and prefer that my name badge just says “Taz”

Big week for React Native coming up. Still time to get tickets for App.js! appjs.co

The @svelte.london meetup group is looking for a venue! Do you know anyone that can help out?

tech hiring is not dead. i see so many startups looking to hire. you just have to know where to go to find positions. and positions just don't come to you anymore like they did in 2021.

A trait that I've been increasingly finding in good engineers is that they have a high mental pain tolerance. Whatever problem gets thrown at them they just keep going and reaching for the best possible outcome

This year, I will be giving a workshop at @reactsummit.gitnation.org in Amsterdam called "React Query - Beyond the Basics", where we will be refactoring an app together step by step towards providing the possible user and developer experience. Would love to see some of you there 🙌

I made it into @zeu.dev's talk at Svelte Summit fam 😂

Signed up for Stripe Managed Payments 👀 If this works like how I think it works, it could make community financials so much easier Right now, we legally require full KYC and you then need full accounting (sales tax in some cases, etc). If Managed Payments means less of that, then that's great 🚀
