SO MUCH went into TypeScript 7: thought, care, and really *really* cool engineering. Congrats @jakebailey.dev & the rest of the team, this is a huge step forward for web dev folks everywhere!! 👏👏🔥🔥

I will be giving a talk at the @zurichjs.com pre-conf warm-up meetup about my experience of being a maintainer of Babel 🎉 It'll be on the Wednesday before the conference: see you all either there or at the conf :) And if anybody is getting a conf ticket, I have a 10% discount I can share in DM.

Trying out both agentscan and anti-slop on the @typescript-eslint.io repo. 🤞 github.com/typescript-e...

Astro 7 is here! A new Rust compiler, a new Rust Markdown/MDX processor, Vite 8 and more. Get ready for 60%+ faster builds. astro.build/blog/astro-7/

I'm going to add automations to all my personal repos to auto-close seemingly-AI-authored issues & PRs (slop/spam). What is the latest and greatest for this / what is everyone using?

a story in two acts

I look forward to the day when I no longer have to see issues and pull requests with blatant obvious AI slop. I hate it so much. It makes me not want to code anymore.

Bloomberg uses a lot of C++ & contributes to the standard as well as various industry conferences and libraries. I’m looking for an experienced engineer to join a distributed systems team in New York working on our core Deployment Infrastructure for the Bloomberg Terminal 🗽 🧵

This interview was a real pleasure and treat!

A friend of mine is looking for places to host a (non-AI!) developer meetup in NYC - ideally a local software shop / coworking space / makerspace that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Does anybody have any suggestions please? 🙏

I really, really like this approach: If you're requesting human attention, demonstrate human effort. tombedor.dev/human-attent...

Happy pride month 🌈

did some contributions today. the babel team are the best 💙 super nice interaction

"We should lint for that" is a sentence I keep saying lately 😅

We’ve been working on a new site for Changesets with a lot of new docs! If changesets has been confusing before, hopefully some of these will help, or let us know what else could be improved. Check it out 👉 changesets.dev

🙋‍♂️ do I know any oss friends who are facing unwelcome LLM-generated PRs or comments? .... want to fight back?

Thank you to everyone who attended our first meetup of 2026! We had a blast hosting you all and we can't wait to do it again next month. 💙 Special shoutout to Ondrej Kovarik for working with us to be hosted at Capital One and Ryan Waskiewicz as our wonderful guest speaker.

💥 just released a github action: `uppt` it aims to be a very simple, secure release workflow for maintainers that adheres to best security practices ⚪ trusted, staged publishing on npmjs.com ⚪ github environment protection ⚪ generated release PR + changelog ⚪ automatic release + publish on merge ✨

1 day reminder: we're meeting today! 📆 Today! Thursday May 21st! 📍 Capital One Office - 314 Main Street, Cambridge See you there! 🙌 RSVP -> bostonts.club

Speaker spotlight: our guest speaker this week is Ryan Waskiewicz, senior software engineer at the MBTA. Ryan will tell us about a project of his that he explored rewriting in Rust: the pros, cons, and decision-making behind that whole process. 👏

This week! Be there or be square!

magnolia conf’s shop is back up and less sketchy now thanks to the great support folks at Fourthwall (and @richard.sween.dev)! we’ve still got plenty of anti javascript merch and we’ll put leftover code cauldrons cornbread conference shirts up sometime soon. shop.magnoliaconf.com

Talks may be over, but the community moments continued at our traditional speakers picnic. 🐻 🚀 #JSHeroes #JScommunity #tech #const #papanași #latteart

me trying to explain behind-the-scenes open source maintainers drama

We have the *Contributor* Covenant (code of conduct template). Has anybody made a *Maintainer* Covenant equivalent? Context: I'm writing a proposal for expectations of how a project's maintainers should act (basic civility, de-escalating conflicts, confirming perceived negative intent, etc.).

🚨 if you want to follow the amazing speakers/mcs from this year then may i submit this starter pack for your consideration? it has been such a pleasure to listen and learn from them all ❤️❤️❤️ thank you especially to the team at @jsheroes.io for making this incredible conference 🙏

1 week reminder: we've got a meetup next week, with two speakers ~ * What's New in TypeScript 6.0 by @joshuakgoldberg.com * Rewrite it in Rust! (Or Don't) by ducktyped.dev ✨ What's in your types? ✨ bostonts.club

npm is so messed up for me right now that visiting any package a few images triggers the Cloudflare DDOS protection, making the images unviewable. Is anybody else seeing this?

The amazing Oana is illustrating all of our talks this year. Here are her illustrations for the first day of the conference.

In this episode we cover open source sustainability and the challenges of maintaining critical dependencies. @abbycabs.dev and @brianmuenzenmeyer.com join @joshuakgoldberg.com for a wide-ranging conversation. softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/05/14/o...

haven't seen many projects structure their ci like this, so i wanted to share! @bomb.sh has a single repo with reusable workflows that every other repo references. it's pretty nice.

oxlint now supports 100%* of the eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y rules! final rules will be in the next release. github.com/oxc-project/...

A very telling chart. Open Source funding has been frozen for the past four years, while everyone's needs for our shared commons infrastructure have continued to grow exponentially. Pay maintainers properly if you want your dependencies to stop feeling like a minefield.
