Ooo `tsdown --publint` builds and lints my packages: github.com/publint/publ... It could some missing types I wasn't generating!

github.com/bahmutov/sta... from is *so good* in CI 😍 { "scripts": { "start": "npm start", "test": "mocha e2e-spec.js", "ci": "server-test 8080" } }

better-auth is so good I wanted to support my old API keys, so I’m just making a new one on the fly when validating it. No need to do a DB migration or anything. Seamless.

Not only is Sam’s post beautifully illustrated, it’s the little details too

✨ 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.

It's easy to miss a key feature of Node's TypeScript support that was released on Friday: it's zero config 💥 Meaning you don't need to put anything in package.json. Strictly speaking you don't even need a tsconfig to run the code. nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

Did you know you can do `height: stretch` now in CSS? Works for `width` too. /via @patrickbrosset.com developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

Afternoon reset

Wife took a photo of me this morning

TanStack DB is now in BETA! We’ve been working on TanStack DB, an embedded, reactive client database for TanStack Query, and are proud to announce today that with the 0.1 release that it's now in BETA! tanstack.com/blog/tanstac...

🌳 Keep what works. Cut off the tendrils that don’t. 🪾 The “facade pattern” is it’s the most economical way to “throw away the prototype” and build the product the way it should be. (Also heard it as “strangler fig pattern”)

🔥 My friends at DMNO have a new devtool: varlock. It’s a drop-in replacement for dotenv, and adds a bunch of cool stuff like validation and type safety. It stores the secrets themselves in password managers or encrypted vaults. The landing page also has a very cool RPG vibe 😄 varlock.dev

The fun of being early-stage CTO is getting the company on the right engineering rails. There's a clarifying tension between what's wanted vs. what's needed, especially depending on the time horizon. A month ago, customer success. Last week, bug bashing. This week, QA. Next, 🏖️

A bunch of Cloudflare permission gotchas, but I was able to hack the Dashboard's network calls into alchemy.run 🧙 ``` await AutoRag("autorag", { aiGateway: GATEWAY, bucket: BUCKET, name: `autorag-${app.stage}` }); ``` 🎉

I started from 0️⃣ tonight with Inngest and finished with a working bookmark tool! 😍 🏎️ Powered by Cloudflare {AI, Browser, D1, KV, R2}

🦸 Being new is a super power - you can see what's invisible to everyone who's been there for a while 🙈

Welp. Maybe Workers are great, but not when trying to use them inside of Astro (or even locally) 🤷 You know what *is* great? Inngest. I wanted DO for WS & persistence, but It's probably easier to just do www.inngest.com/docs/feature... 🔨 💅

It totally makes sense that local DX strongly determines what solutions even make it into production. If you can’t prove something works in a local greenfield environment, good luck 👍 (This tweet sponsored by miniflare ☹️)

Wanna get punched in the gut this Saturday? Read this maalvika.substack.com/p/being-too-... /ht @chaddonohue

If everything goes well, demo videos TODAY 🙏

I’m cooked

🌶️ Doubling dependency size should be a major cession bump. (minor at least)

Teaching spellcheck that "Productionize" *is* a word

Haven’t been keeping up with politics so I thought this was Tim Robinson at first

Made the mistake of going to Costco on the weekend to just pick up some hotdogs and buns. 🌭 It took forever loading the Traeger into the car.

Andor (+ Rogue One) are my favorite Star Wars shows.

React Conf here I come. First tech conference in a *while*!

🚀 pnpm catalogs just got better! github.com/pnpm/pnpm/re...

Does anyone have @screenstudio presets they can share? Some of us aren’t ready to go full OBS or divinci resolver yet 😅

I’m struggling to look at effect.website/docs/require... and say “Hell yes” to adoption. I felt the same way when Redux was introduced. “Time-travel debugging looks cool, but my problems don’t need that solution”

Aww man. @cursor_ai doesn't work well with @gitbutler – it won't do anything because of the branch name being different. I wonder if this affects all git worktrees?

🌶️ BBQ is better *with* sauce. Bad BBQ needs it. Great BBQ transcends with it.

Rolling the ladder up behind us https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/rolling-ladder-behind-us/

Ok, I gotta try Claude Code now No fluff. No noise. All signal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eBS... (He even mentions using Claude as a GitHub Action to auto-label issues! 🤯)

I've been watching @convex_dev for a while and finally had a chance to check out docs.convex.dev/tutorial. Immediately sold that *schemas are optional*. 💖 Schemas encase the DB in concrete. Do that after you're done plumbing. 🏠

Surround yourself with ambitious tastemakers and visionaries. They "are right, a lot". Amazon has this as a LP for a reason t.co/P87vQT911t

Hung around with Dwight Howard in Vegas for a week. He picked up the tab at Morton’s steakhouse. But I didn’t know he would at the time, so my wife and I split a 15 dollar app for dinner because we were broke af.

For Father’s Day, I’m getting dropped off to have a day to myself and build stuff.

Design docs are best when sandwiched between the "Make it Work" and the "Make it Right, Make it Fast" phases of a project.

Ugh. Spent, like, 20 minutes recording what should be a 2 minute video on how I automated Cloudflare Worker Builds with Alchemy. But there are so many gaps and little pauses (or refreshing the page) that need to be scrapped that I’d spend more time editing. Descript time?

You know you live in a safe neighborhood when people leave their cyber truck out overnight.

Having the top hosting providers battle it out in my GitHub PRs 🥊

Scared to charge $5/mo for your SaaS, meanwhile a Docusaurus alternative is 30x that 🤔

Aww man AI is coming for my alchemy.run contributions

Imagine writing a test suite that can validate if your vibe coded product still did everything the v0 prototype that came from figma did

/me sees the Epstein tweet …. But we already knew that 🤷

“However, the leaked draft version of the Remix announcement (you can go find that yourself) forced our hand, and we had to get that post out quicker than anticipated.” 🙈

Feeling AI Fatigue, inundated by daily hype and “it’s so over” charlatans. So here I am coding without an agent or llm, reading docs like a caveman.

> Project manager checking in to see if I’m working on that task they just assigned me

Made a latte for afternoon standup with my desk mates
