fantasizing about living in a competent country

Mythos' underwhelming results for curl are a great example of why Open Source is even more important now that we have access to these tools. curl is more secure because everyone can tinker with it. We should be doubling down on Open Source rather than closing projects in panic.

A year of work later and we can finally tie a bow on this series of web component perf threads. I built a fully declarative, compile-time reactive framework on web components. In the latest JS Framework Benchmark, Roqa is the 2nd fastest (unflagged) – beating Ripple, Vue Vapor, Solid & Svelte. 🏎️💨

Last year I prototyped a feature in VS Code where your entire chat thread was editable, meaning you could edit mistakes, cut out bad context, etc. It was fun to play with but from my experience it was kind of a wash for improving performance. Most of the time starting a fresh chat was better.

Congrats to the Zed team! Huge milestone

🌶️: If we were still writing all our apps in vanilla web tech in 2026, the state of the web would be at least 100x worse than what it is today. React's model won because good abstractions are good! Creating better abstractions is like kind of the *entire* deal when it comes to programming / software

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

allbirds language models (large) will offer both men’s and women’s (US, UK) sizing

Wow! Someone has literally already been building it, atproto community moves quick www.aetheros.computer

On my 2030s bingo card: ATProto eventually becomes *the* desirable and premium app ecosystem because if you enshittify your app you die The apps that win will win because they’re literally the best or most specialized at what they do

Can someone explain what the long term road map / vision for @npmx.dev is? I saw this post saying there's a 10+ year vision for it, but haven't been able to find more info Also super curious how the PDS work plays into this vision as well -- something I wouldn't expect from an alt NPM client

console.log("Hello, World!"); Follow for updates on every new release of @vscode.dev!

Yeah! Worth mentioning for those who may not have seen: The most recent @vscode.dev release shipped a preview for natively using third-party coding agents like Claude and Codex with the VS Code chat UI

Y'all are sleeping on VSCode's AI UX. Their velocity here is wild, they keep building so many great features that improves the agent experience. I also think GitHub Copilot is fantastic, but if Claude Code is more your jam, you can use custom agents now within VSCode's chat, which is pretty cool.

Got to watch IRL and it's easily one of my favorite talks / takes on AI-driven development I've seen so far Rich (as always) wonderfully threads the needle of taking a critical look at this topic without being AI-pilled or anti-AI. He's nuanced, funny, and treats the topic with respect

It's wild how much has changed in the last 100 days (literally) –– both in terms of LLMs and VS Code agent features. @vscode.dev release notes are now generated with a tiny custom web app. Took 1 day to design and build. I would have never considered even attempting this before.

Lol you got us. Fixed this release ;) bsky.app/profile/vsco...

You told us you’re running multiple AI agents and wanted a better UX. We listened and shipped it! Here’s what’s new: 🗂️ Unified agent sessions workspace for local, background, and cloud agents 🔀 Parallel subagents 💻 Claude and Codex support for local and cloud agents 🌐 Integrated browser & more...

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-...
