This is great news! GitHub will require use of passkeys for 2FA when publishing to NPM. What a huge step up in security compared to other phishable 2FA methods that were historically supported 🎉 github.blog/security/sup...

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

"Today's package managers still optimize for the last decade's problems. In 2025, the real bottleneck isn't I/O anymore. It's system calls". Deep dive into Bun's architecture, that treats package installation as a systems programming problem.

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for pointing out Kirk’s hate speech while Fox keeps Brian Kilmeade after he said killing the homeless via lethal injection would end homelessness. A perfect example of how right-wing extremism is tolerated, but even pointing it out gets punished. The media reinforces this.

TypeScript nostalgia 😉 TS 1.5 is now 10 years old and was a huge release: 🔷 ES6 🔷 ES Modules 🔷 tsconfig introduced 🔷 `namespace` keyword 🔷 Experimental Decorators 🔷 All star credits Best Quote: "One of the common points of feedback we’ve heard ... is that the modules are a bit confusing."

✨ Big O ✨ Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o. With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

i've finally got a new blogpost out!! this one talks about modern CSS, it's new features, and practical real world uses as usual, the visuals are css-only and have lots of cool interactivity and easter eggs :3 have fun! lyra.horse/blog/2025/08...

Obviously, please don't open AI slop PRs on open source repos, but also please don't open AI slop issues. If there's a real issue please write it yourself using the template from the project, using your human words. Also please don't vibe code your reproductions. Use the repro instructions provided.

we've just launched the replacements docs on the @e18e.dev site! this is part of a wider effort to document how to make your projects more performant. for now, just the replacements - but in future, perf tips and much more 🎉 all feedback much appreciated! ❤️

@nikomatsakis.com explains why Rust, Python, and TypeScript are going to become dominant languages going forward. It's due to increasing use of AI coding. We're moving towards idea-oriented programming which weakens people’s loyalty to programming languages. smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/bl...

✨ New post Every year when the new version of ECMAScript is confirmed, I like to summarise the new additions with easy-to-follow, practical examples. Here you are, the one for 2025. Enjoy 😘 pawelgrzybek.com/whats-new-in... #javascript #ecmascript

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Node.js has added many features in recent years, and this blog post summarizes it pretty well If you're writing a Node.js application in 2025, you should consider using these. kashw1n.com/blog/nodejs-...

So many release announcements just enumerate new features without connecting them to real use cases, essentially just a fancy changelog. A good release announcement should excite users. And it should NEVER include the phrase "various bugfixes and improvements." refactoringenglish.com/chapters/rel...
