Lol cool, a year and some change later this blog post made it to HN front page today news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4667...

Depending on how the winds of the future blow, a social filesystem could also be the foundation for an entirely new computing platform where your OS is portable / device agnostic Like @rsms.me’s Playbit, but anyone could come along make a Playbit competitor and still access the same filesystem/data

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

You may have noticed that search on the VS Code website has gotten a lot quicker lately. In our latest blogpost, João Moreno breaks down the engineering process behind docfind, a search engine we built that runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly: code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2026/0...

I like this setting for VS Code from Ben Frain. JUST show the vertical line for the current indentation, not all of them ``` "workbench.colorCustomizations": { "editorIndentGuide.background1": "#00000001", "editorIndentGuide.activeBackground1": "#ff9900" } ``` benfrain.com/vs-code-high...

Impeach, convict, remove.

Finally share a secret project I’ve been working on for literally a year Teaser: It involves having created one of the fastest reactive web frameworks ever made bsky.app/profile/hawk...

Quote posting for more visibility. We treat tool calling security *extremely* seriously on the team We use a no-trust-by-default model where every single tool needs to be manually approved. From there we have config for auto approving tools OR (conversely) marking tools as ALWAYS needing permission

👋 Hi! For those unfamiliar I'm Hawk, a UX Engineer on the @vscode.dev team. As 2025 comes to a close, I've been wanting to get a pulse on how folks are writing code. Genuinely curious: What tool(s) do you use? What do you like/dislike about them? What do you wish your tool could do that it doesn't?

First NYC winter has not disappointed so far. After 25 years in Seattle, feels like I’ve stepped into some kind of holiday movie — winter wonderland vibes go crazy

This makes me really sad. I absolutely *adore* my @frame.work laptop and have been such a big fan of the ethos and values that they have talked about striving for as a company up to this point. I feel so depleted by an industry that seems happy to ignore politics if a technology is cool enough.

Folks who know #atproto, I have Qs I still haven’t found answers to and would love any thoughts / opinions you have! 1. Given that most PDSs are hosted by @bsky.app, if an atproto app comes along that gets really popular, does that mean Bluesky is now covering the hosting costs of that app’s data?

put another way: i don't want your data—not just from an ideological "users should be in control" perspective, but from a pragmatic "this makes my app harder and more expensive to run" perspective we've been so focused on making it easy to scale up that we've accidentally made it hard to scale down

I made a Bluesky #CSS Feed 🤘🏻 (takes a lot of work to filter out the garbage… damn) but I believe I've setup a good system! nerdy.dev/css-bluesky-...

I created a new feed for trending developer topics on Bluesky. Go check it out! I've loved @hipstersmoothie.com's Web Dev Trending, but have for a long time felt like it could be refined and improved. So with @danabra.mov's "we can just do things" I felt inspired to just make the change myself!

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

Host your own instance of Dokploy and never be disappointed by *any* company and its leadership again. Worst case: Your VPS provider ends up being evil, so you pack up shop and find a new one — nothing changes about the day to day of how you host / deploy your websites and apps.

This is awesome 🥹 Major props to Preston for his hard work, but also kudos to @tur.so (and Maine) for their willingness to give him a chance. Makes me really happy to see folks maintaining some humanity during these less than forgiving times.

coming soon to a browser near you

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

🙋 have you ever _wanted_ to deploy a @nuxt.com site to some provider bc of their features/dx/price but decided not to because of a limitation in nuxt? (would love to know even minor nitpicks or frictions)

Lol not sure about fanfics but there are indeed people writing books with @vscode.dev! Most prolific example I know of is @jaypenner.bsky.social who’s written 16 novels using VS Code 😵

Has anyone been wanting @vscode.dev IntelliSense for #atproto lexicon json files? Cool. @slices.network will have that. Will work on any project though. 🔜

Video is WIP, but wanted to share a side quest I went on adding some of the ideas from @trueadm.dev's Ripple, esp the control flow I've never seen anyone support the execution of inline functions in an `html` tagged template (pls correct me), but this is a *really* cool and powerful primitive y'all

At some point, @vscode.dev made Image Preview the default editor for SVGs. Here's how to change it back to text. 😅

I need some help! I’m working on a YouTube video that explores what it would take to build a web app that, if built today, could last 100 years. It covers tech stack, dev strategies, DX, etc but I need help coming up with a demo. Any fun ideas for a full stack app meant to live for a century??

I’m moving to New York City tomorrow! (My wife starts grad school in September). Current and previous New Yorkers, have any tips, recommendations, do’s/don’ts, fun things we should check out as we get settled?

Super interesting refresh / redirect of Remix 👀 Will now be a @preactjs.com fork with the goal of zero deps, aligned closely with Web APIs, and little-to-no bundling/compiling/typegen Already a big fan of Preact and the work @developit.dev has done on it, so very curious to see how this plays out

First @rich-harris.dev, then @danielroe.dev, then @danabra.mov, and now @ryansolid.bsky.social Loving this theme of the web's experts making dedicated standalone videos about whatever they're interested in or focused on at the moment So much great stuff to glean from these

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

Congrats to @zachleat.com for expanding into the menswear business. Huge!! 🔥

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

ICE is a modern-day Gestapo

Looks I’m officially starting my @vuejs.org arc (🥳). What should I know, learn, read, watch, etc? Tips? Tricks? Lay it on me. *We (UXEs working on VS Code) have decided this will be our tool of choice for building interactive prototypes.

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...

i just don’t think i can be bothered with anyone in tech is sticking out on the nazi site. let alone those who come here to claim it’s “better”, for some unthinkable reason

Hey @castrojo.bsky.social curious if there's any openness to shipping Bluefin with VS Code Insiders? I work on the VS Code team and need to be able to use Insiders on the daily, so would love if Bluefin included this by default. 😁 P.S. Huge fan and happy user of the project!

The idea of web component “overhead” is overblown — to even my own surprise! Rendering 1000s of nested WCs is *more* than competitive with the heavyweight champs of the web framework world. We’re talking S/S+ tier perf depending on the initialization method. Cont…

Web Component folks: What’s the current thinking / guidance on how one can and should create a new instance of a WC in JS? Specifically curious about creating elements via `new MyElement()` — is that considered a no-no?

Cool to see `@scope` on this list and the inline style tag demo in this post is really clean, but I was always told that littering inline style tags in the DOM is a web dev faux pas. Are there any legit concerns (perf, etc) for doing this or is this “faux pas” just separation of concerns thinking?

Question for the TypeScript gurus: I have a function that is a factory for classes. The function accepts an array of functions that are attached to the class as methods at runtime. Is there a way to correctly make TS happy with the fact that those passed in functions are using `this`?

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Fun Friday update: I’m now a UX Engineer working on @vscode.dev 🎉 After years of working on/around the VS Code ecosystem, I’m stoked to get the chance to put some love, energy, and design engineering magic into the product itself!

Web components fastest. React slowest. 🤘

Y'ALL. Portable HTML Web Components are fucking cracked. It looks like they are **faster** than the fastest Vanilla JS implementation in the JS Framework Benchmark. I literally reran the benchmark 5 times because I didn't believe it, but every single time they came in first place 🤯

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that web components aren’t performant They can absolutely flyyy 😮‍💨

Does anyone know of any projects/people who are working on novel ways of organizing component/UI code *beyond* class components, function components, and single-file components? Guessing not since classes, functions, and files are the only (??) way of compartmentalizing JS but want to double check

staying focused on any particular area of expertise can feel pretty frivolous these days. i often need to remind myself why i focus on the web— the internet is radical together we can build tools and standards that make the internet more open, accessible, and decentralized
