back in my day vibe coding was just asking your smart friends what to do and acting dumb when they try to explain never seen someone take over my keyboard and type so fast

I honestly haven’t said WAT so much since Gary Bernhardt’s “WAT” www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

I really installed this with an open mind, but colour on buttons is important and there is no way glass controls should be inheriting the colour from behind. It’s a gorgeous control, but colour is not up for grabs for arbitrary use if you like UX

useEffect is the root of all evil and should be avoided react or dev tools should provide a mode to log all the effects which fire named by component/hook, it would massively shorten debugging journeys

Agents are too powerful for coding. They’re not great at everything, but for very specific or repetitive tasks they’re king. I just added a WAF to cloudfront in minutes to restrict IP ranges, that sort of terraforming task used to be a full afternoon of research and fiddling

My as an experienced dev trying vibe coding with copilot’s agent mode for the first time and seeing an actually very reasonable sourdough recipe generator and feature requests actually working

This investigation is the most exciting thing happening in JavaScript right now. Fingers crossed it can be fixed as it will completely change tRPC performance characteristics at scale

For those finishing up Severence tonight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s85E... Please try to enjoy each chord equally.

It's been a while coming but this is a huge release. My personal favourite addition is out the box support for FormData and File/Blob/Uint8Array in procedure inputs

I really don’t think copilot is coming for our jobs any time soon. It can’t even translate min(0) correctly from Zod to ArkType

This is the best thing I’ve read this year. So excited!

11.0.0-rc.814 of @trpc.io is out now, fixing a great many reported issues in the new @trpc/tanstack-react-query package! Keep the feedback coming, we also have a number of further codemod improvements in the works

Today I was automating some documentation generation into Confluence, and realised it just works off HTML under the hood with some custom elements for widgets. React's `renderToString` method plus custom elements type declarations and you have a familiar templating engine in 10 minutes 😙🤌

Fed up of the git checkout & pull dance, especially when you have repos that don't agree on master/main/next as your default? Here's an alias: ``` git config --global alias.sm '!f() { git switch $(git remote show $(git remote | head -n 1) | sed -n "/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p") && git pull; }; f' ```

Looks like some small oversights in the new TanStack client for tRPC. Nothing serious but a few small breaking changes may be needed before it’s fully stable Keep the feedback coming!

@trpc.io now offers an integration built on top of queryOptions. I'm pretty hyped about this 🙌

We just released our new TanStack Query adapter for @trpc.io powered by the `queryOptions` API. Codemod available (still a bit of a WIP but works quite well) for simple migration. Let us know what you think! trpc.io/blog/introdu...

Good things are coming to tRPC, please consider helping out by trying out the codemod to upgrade your code and feeding back or fixing any issues!

This is absurd, I love it! Execute your typescript types as if they were runtime code! github.com/betafcc/dtsr

Is it really the case that JavaScript generators don’t have a primitive in either the language or node.js to merge multiple generators/iterators into 1? I ended up using an EventEmitter, event callbacks, and node’s on() method to merge multiple websocket feeds, but it is grim

Suddenly had a burst of nostalgia for when installing a game looked like this

Building on React Native is essentially like balancing on top of an endless pile of vertically stacked dominoes Why do I miss it so much?

Mildly surprised that I can’t find a CLI generator for OpenAPI specs. Would be nice to interact with an API from the command line sometimes There’s one written in go but that’s not much of an ecosystem if you don’t have go in your team

2025 is the year of @tanstack.com router and trusting your CI

🌹Roses are red 🪻Violets are blue ⚛️ Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen when a component repeatedly calls setState inside componentWillUpdate or componentDidUpdate

Did react 19 just kill Gatsby and NextJS static rendering with 1 line of code?

Happy React 19 day!

There’s nothing like pulling apart a 700 line react component into multiple logical components, then sitting back and admiring the entirely new and unique ness you’ve made

dan what the fuck put it back

CSS is absolutely black magic sometimes with the number of incantations we just have to use blindly I just used position:absolute inset:0 to fix a datagrid not shrinking again during page resize Flexbox should have done the shrinking, but not this time

Fun fact, if you took out and laid all of your blood vessels in a straight line, they would still be shorter than the average line of Java

I’ll take it blueskyroast.com/roast/nicklu...

I'm going to speak about @trpc.io at Coruña this month :) www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-s...

Look I love Apple products, but seriously. How do you design a UI this horrible? There are so many bugs but not making logical decisions about how to swap and reorganise is a basic design decision

There should also be some classifier locally that detects toxicity and suggests you rephrase Design choices like these will shape the platform’s tone as it grows

But as a haiku do not useEffect but if you do useEffect do not call setState

Now that’s my kind of fix!

Finally getting to hang out with the legend that is @katt.dev

It's so over

Whatever infra issues Bluesky have had, they still do a better job than Reddit have ever managed 👏

@trpc.io is looking at deprecating our @tanstack.com Query Integration in favour of something simpler and more tanstack native Come give us some feedback on the plans!

This is the programming equivalent of "... good chat"

The fix to React 19’s suspense drama just dropped! Instead of dropping sibling renders when a suspense boundary hits, or letting all siblings continue render and delaying a fallback, they’ll now schedule a new render for siblings immediately after the fallback. Very tidy github.com/facebook/rea...

3 Body Problem is some insanely good hard sci-fi. In a weird way feels like it’s scratching an itch left by the ending to Battlestar Galactica

3 things are certain in life You will be born You will pay taxes vscode-jest will make another unnecessary breaking change and the extension will auto update derailing your ability to use it until you fix it

After 288 days, I have uploaded again on YouTube! I wanted to make this video for a very long time, the dilemma of setting up TypeScript in a monorepo is real so I show & compare 4 different ways of doing TypeScript in your monorepos. Give it a watch! 👇 link in replies.

Who should I be following on here? How do I find the react/typescript community?

Some karting with @samuel.beesky.social @danabra.mov @ahmedx.bsky.social @loisz.bsky.social “Nick Lucas dominance may bore racing fans” 😇
