I saw Project: Hail Mary last Thursday and it blew me away. Easily among my top 10 favorite movies. I'd listened to Ray Porter's amazing narration of the novel a few years ago, so I'd been looking forward to the adaptation for a while. I'm curious how it held up for anyone who hadn't read the book.

ECMAScript Excitement 🎉 This week, TC39 elected a new editor group for the ECMAScript specification (ECMA-262). Editors are: ✨ Linus Groh ✨ Michael Ficarra ✨ Nicolò Ribaudo (@nicr.dev) ✨ Richard Gibson ✨ Ron Buckton (@chronicles.org) ✨ Shu-yu Guo (@rfrn.org)

ECMAScript elections 😉 This week @tc39.es elected a new Editor Group 🎉 🔶 Linus Groh (Bloomberg) 🔶 Michael Ficarra (F5) 🔶 Nicolò Ribaudo (Igalia) 🔶 Richard Gibson (Agoric) 🔶 Ron Buckton (F5) 🔶 Shu-yu Guo (Apple)

After taking some time off and spending the summer with my kids before they go back to college, I'm happy to announce that I'll be starting a new role at F5 next week! Thanks to everyone that reached out over the past few months. I'm very much looking forward to what's next!

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

The storm that blew through PA knocked out power in my neighborhood and downed trees on the only two ways out. The trees have seen been cleared, but the estimate for power coming back up is *sunday*. No AC during the entirety of the heat advisory this weekend is not going to be fun.

4️⃣ Explicit Resource Management 4️⃣ Array.fromAsync 4️⃣ Error.isError 2️⃣ Math.clamp 2️⃣ Seeded Pseudo-Random Numbers 1️⃣ Keep trailing zeros in Intl.NumberFormat and Intl.PluralRules 1️⃣ Random Functions 1️⃣ Inspector, originally a part of the Comparisons proposal

After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @chronicles.org on advancing the Enum proposal to Stage 1 at TC39 today 🎉 This aims to bring the good parts of TypeScript enums to JavaScript plus enhancements such as new datatypes & potentially runtime performance improvements 👍 github.com/tc39/proposa...

New (and unfortunately expensive) hobby: Making dice. This was my first good set (though the third attempt) and was a gift to my daughter.

🚨 TypeScript just got 10× faster! The TypeScript compiler has been ported to Go and we had Anders Hejlsberg and Daniel Rosenwasser on to announce it and break it all down! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlGz...

TypeScript *earth-shattering* excitement 😉 The TypeScript team have rewritten the compiler in Go in order to optimize performance 🎉 🔹 10x faster type-checking 🔥 🔹 Uses significantly less memory This will hugely improve the TypeScript authoring & compilation experience.

FINALLY WE CAN SAY WHAT'S BEEN COOKING

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

My 3D printing hobby has now evolved beyond a shelf in my office to it's own space in the basement. Still a work in progress, but I just finished setting up a fume ventilation system for my new Elegoo Saturn 4. Also pictured is my old Ender 3 Pro. #3dprinting

I need to get a new smooth PEI build plate for my Bambu Lab X1C. Any other #3dprinting enthusiasts have suggestions for third party build plates? Bambu is experiencing shipping delays and I need to finish a few prints before Christmas.

I have been without power since about 10am this morning. Luckily my generator still works, so I was able to get internet back up to attend TC39 in the morning, but the rest of my day was spent installing a transfer switch so I could power my furnace and well pump.

Getting ready to put up holiday decorations. Just a few more pieces to print.

📢 TypeScript 5.7 is here! Now with ✅ Better checks for uninitialized variables ✅ Smarter tsconfig lookup in editors ✅ Improved startup time ✅ Stricter checks for JSON imports ✅ Extension rewrites for relative imports and more! Try it today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

Having gained 200+ followers in the last 24 hours, now would be a good time to reintroduce myself. I've been at Microsoft for over 17 years with the better part of the last decade working on @TypeScript and I'm thankful to have been a part of Microsoft's OSS journey. 1/2

Christmas tabletop gaming haul. This is just the stuff my wife and kids got me, or that my wife and I got for the family and doesn't include the games we got just for them. We like our games in this house.

Why would Paramount+ even bother to put a "Skip Intro" button on this episode of Strange New Worlds?

My hobby project for the next few weeks: an Arduino sensor kit to monitor my 3D printer enclosure for Temperature, Humidity, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and ultrafine particulates, as well as to control LED lighting and the fan to a HEPA/carbon filtration system. #3dprinting #arduino
