Node.js's learn articles now have a new home! Check out github.com/nodejs/learn to see the learn articles, now statically built with our very-own github.com/nodejs/doc-kit!

The Node.js Userland Migrations (and node:test) team have been busy bees 🐝 In node 25.9.0, MockModuleOptions’ defaultExport & namedExports are consolidated into a single “exports” object. A migration is available alongside it to automatically update your code. app.codemod.com/registry/@no...

I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

Open Source Brunch success 😁 the weather really came through too for the terrace

We are looking for an open source product marketing manager to help us with WPE, Servo, Moonforge, Wolvic and other similar projects at @igalia.com More information: www.igalia.com/jobs/product...

A modern browser for the npm registry that nudges the ecosystem towards best practices and standards perfectly aligns with our mission: to make the next generation of JS developers more productive than ever before. We're happy to support our friends at @npmx.dev!

My company @igalia.com is hiring an Open Source Product Marketing Manager. www.igalia.com/jobs/product... Igalia is a worker-owned cooperative based in A Coruña, Spain. All positions are 100% remote. Igalia can potentially sponsor visas to emigrate to Spain.

From Chrome 145 (on general release next week!), DevTools we will start to show so called "soft" navigations and "Soft LCP" in the Performance Panel traces. These are for SPAs which don't do a full page load, but instead "fake it" by updating the current page and pushing a new history entry. 1/5 🧵

We're hosting our 1st workshop of 2026 at Framer! New and existing students and coaches are welcome, but space is limited to ~20 people. Food & drink generously provided by Framer. RSVP codebar.io/workshops/3612 Thu, 19 Feb @ 18:30 – 21:00 Rozengracht 207, 1016 LZ #DEI

it.expectFail is out for a test-case that should pass but can't 🙂

Okay, wtf Apple. Why is ⅓ of the Reminders widget is wasted space?? Also, why tf are there footgun tickboxes on the widget that dismiss the item. I just want to read it 🤬

Today's spark of joy

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a secure and reliable release. Updates are now available for the 25.x, 24.x, 22.x, 20.x Node.js release lines to address: - 3 high severity issues - 4 medium severity issues - 1 low severity issue nodejs.org/en/blog/vuln...

The heavy snowfall at AMS right now. Visibility is barely 100 km 😮

😮

The OXC folks are 🔥 I reported a bug and it was patched before my tea brewed (not a joke).

I’ve been playing with module loaders and node sea recently. Anthropic supposedly bought bun because of the ease of application bundling. Now the same is easily achievable with node.js using www.npmjs.com/package/@pip... Applications bundled and runnable directly from zip-archives or SEAs.

💡 TIL: You can highlight a JS template tag as another language by prepending it with a comment like /* html */ in at least VS Code and editors wrapping it like Cursor. How did I find out? Cursor suggested it when I tried to do a more convoluted const html = String.raw; const template = html`…

GitHub should add a 2025 recap, with things like: "Angriest commit message" "How often you added a separate commit just to fix linting" "Number of curse words added to the codebase" "What file caused the most bug reports" "Number of abandoned side projects"

I'm sure many of you have already been trying out the native preview, but if you haven't, now is the best time to start!

I'm <center> years old 🧟‍♂️

Uh, what da fuck EU “[The changes] allow AI companies to legally use personal data to train AI models”

Hell yes

My god, Google Workspace Admin portal is a masterclass in "don't".

LF Europe joined dozens of other orgs calling for an EU Sovereign Tech Fund. Through investment in #OpenSource sustainability, Europe can promote strategic autonomy, prevent future crises, & reduce strategic dependencies. Now is the time to act: openforumeurope.org/openforum-eu...

Still running on an old version of Node.js? We’ve got new guides and tools to help you migrate your code smoothly. Start here: nodejs.org/en/learn/get... Thank you @augustin-mauroy.bsky.social for the work here 🙏

If you have a codebase that uses an older version of Node.js, we have started to put together articles and tools to help you migrate your code. nodejs.org/en/learn/get... nodejs.org/en/blog/migr...

Nice performance benchmark on optional chaining by Matteo Collina and Simone Sanfratello on the nodeland newsletter:

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings! Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

Node.js 25 is here! We have upgraded V8 to 14.1, bringing major JSON.stringify performance improvements and JIT pipeline optimizations. This release introduces the permission model --allow-net, Web Storage is enabled by default, and more! nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

@jensimmons.bsky.social any chance the Shape Detection API (BarcodeDetector) will be fixed any time soon in iOS Safari?

performance.now() is coming! Every byte shipped carries a carbon cost. @inesakrap.bsky.social will present insights from the Sustainable Web Guidelines that result in a site that is not only fast, but also green and responsible. perfnow.nl/speakers.html#ines

OpenJS 🤝 Codemod Node.js migrations just got way easier. We're partnering with Codemod to help developers update apps faster, safer, and with less manual hassle. 🔗 hubs.la/Q03KHF260

Here's a quick and efficient way to remove `autoplay` from videos if the user prefers reduced motion codepen.io/jaffathecake... `animationstart` is one of my favourite hacks for monitoring elements appearing in the DOM.

We're launching a GoFundMe to cover legal fees to #FreeJavaScript trademark from Oracle. We need to raise $200k to make full use of the discovery phase in the trademark cancelation petition. This is a critical step in protecting the JavaScript name for the whole community. 👉 javascript.tm

🧵 It's 3 AM. Your app is making the same API calls thousands of times. Rate limits are hitting. Timeouts everywhere. Your makeshift Map() cache is eating all your RAM. There's a better way. Let me show you how we got 550x faster responses with undici-cache-redis 👇

Trying some new oxlint optimizations. This PR has gone over several iterations in the last few months and the core idea is simple: don't run rules for files if they don't apply (using an AST node bitset lookup). The result: linting is around 15% faster in practice.

Quick, someone fork github before it goes to shit

Holy shit, wut

Create a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without layout shift! How? Use a pseudo element with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px` Demo to play with: codepen.io/una/pen/gbaWdmy (Tip from dmytro on X, who I can't find on Bsky: x.com/pqoqubbw/sta...)
