Engineers like to use and abuse the word "normalise" when it comes to... Everything! Normalise is a word that needs context, because its meaning is situational. "Normalise a path", "normalise a URL", "normalise a string" Next time you use it, provide some context, so everyone is on the same page

We've been receiving so many contributions at @biomejs.dev lately 🚀, that our (maintainers) time is solely spent at reviewing PRs 😅 The project's community is growing, thank you all

Don't sleep on Servo! It has great potential

@pnpm.io getting better by the day pnpm.io/blog/release... I still can't believe that a one-person package manager is doing better than npm CLI, owned by a corporate, where the resources of the two projects are incomparable. Draw your own conclusions.

Mozilla making mistakes after mistakes. The employee doesn't even acknowledge the mistakes of the bot and the concerns of a **20 years veteran in the field**.

Created an umbrella to track Svelte control-flow syntax works. Good (bad?) thing is, we can ship these in patches so people can try them straightaway. github.com/biomejs/biom...

On twitter everybody is losing their mind because Affinity is now free (www.affinity.studio). But then, it turns out you must have an account in order to download it. Turns out, you "sell" your email to them (and maybe more info?) Nothing is free, and people are gullible (no offence).

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Do I know someone that has some influence in the tailwind project? At Biome we're having the hardest time finding docs of the various grammar. I created this discussion hoping to get some visibility github.com/tailwindlabs...

Following Ghostty example, in @biomejs.dev we will require people disclosing if they used AI in their PRs github.com/biomejs/biom...

We have reworked the @biomejs.dev architecture as generic as possible, so now these frameworks are supported. The new architecture will unlock: - Angular - Embedded formatting in JS files e.g. CSS-in-JS - Cross boundaries lint rules It will take a bit, but the basic bricks are there. Enjoy!

Hot take: Next.js has become overly complex, even for an enterprise. It lost its identity. Look for simpler alternatives (enterprise friendly) Content with JS? Choose @astro.build or @nuxt.com Fully SPA? Go for @tanstack.com Roll your own? @vite.dev and its ecosystem got you

My two conclusions: - the CEO doesn't know how to manage the company - it's almost impossible making sustainable revenue using LLM www.wheresyoured.at/costs/

I just wrote an article for my new website. "Toolchains, the hard parts". I hope you'll enjoy the reading 💪 ematipico.xyz/blog/toolcha...

This is getting ridiculous by the day. They moved the conversation in an email thread, I talked to three different people, and they still used the term "closed" instead of "deleted". TLDR I can still log in, and I can't see the end of it...

Trying to delete my account from #stripe. The experience is dreadful. AI agent doesn't provide the info at the first try, their privacy portal doesn't work, and the human agent takes ages to address my request...

I'm at @viteconf.org and there's been a lot of chats about Rust, however we know only a small part of us web devs know Rust. Would anyone be interested in a workshop of mine that teaches Rust to web developers (TypeScript and/or tooling)?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

It's happening!! github.com/biomejs/biom...

Why do all LLM CLIs (Claude, Copilot, Gemini, etc.) are built and/or distributed via npm? Why not other languages and package managers? I'm very curious

We're reaching full support (experimental) for Vue, Svelte and Astro in @biomejs.dev! I just finished implementing the application of code fixes inside embedded languages :) If everything goes well (it depends on what the team decides), it will be shipped in the next minor.

I'll be there too! Let's hang out and talk about Astro, the web and more. And if you want to chat about @biomejs.dev too, I won't mind 😜

The amazing library sharp now uses @biomejs.dev in their repository 🫡 www.npmjs.com/package/sharp github.com/lovell/sharp...

Thrilled to announce Webflow's $150,000 donation to support Astro's open source development! PLUS... Webflow chooses Astro to power their just-announced AI app gen tool, coming soon.

You can try embedding formatting in our **next** playground! CSS works too 🚀 next.biomejs.dev/playground/?...

I finally cracked embedded formatting in @biomejs.dev ! Soon we'll be able to land proper formatting for HTML, Vue, Svelte and Astro. Angular requires some more plumbing, but we're there.

1/ Regarding the "chat control" debacle. I've spoken with parliamentarians of the country where I live. They all are so considerate regarding the objective of the proposal, which is protecting children from online sexual abuse, however here's a funny detail:

It is happening!!

I must admit, @typst.app is pretty neat! I used LaTeX years ago for my thesis, and while it is good, the grammar is peculiar. Typst has a different approach, and the grammar is as practical as TeX. Worth a try!

It's 2025, and I still need a configuration file to use @eslint.org

Did they just copied the **original** RSLint name? github.com/rslint/rslint Sure, there's no copyright involved, but it's funny! We're running out of names

Biome v2.2 is now available: 📝 JS formatter operator line break ⏫ are Many rules promoted to stable 🧠 More intelligent scanner 🔃 Added the ability to change the sort order algorithm ✨ Improved how folders should be ignored 💅 Improved summary reporter github.com/biomejs/biom...

If you live in Europe and you're concerned about the shit show "Chat Control", please spend a few minutes sending an email to your representatives. I did it, please do the same. fightchatcontrol.eu

this For You feed is straight up addictive

This is huge! Another good step towards removing these shitty restrictions

Dear websites, what's the point of the checkbox for "sending offers and newsletter", if you do that anyway, even when the checkbox is off? 😮‍💨

Here's a few reminders, folks: - OXC and Biome emit two different data. AST vs CST. CST requires more work - OXC uses a fork of Biome formatter infrastructure, same as Ruff (python formatter). At least, we don't repeat the work, and hopefully Biome will get some credits :)

Cheesesteak in Philly!

The mobile Website is even worse. They keep pestering the navigation with banners for using the native app. At some they even block you. Plus, the home page has been the same for a week now. That's just garbage

It seems there have been some regressions in @biomejs.dev v2.1. Those regressions involve unhealthy CPU/memory usage. Do the wise thing, and stay on v2.0.6 for now

LinkedIn is becoming utterly garbage. The mobile application now keeps suggesting posts, unrelated to my network, about topics I'm not interested in: politics, news flash, and more. Even setting "I'm not interested" doesn't help.

Biome 2.1 has been released! It's a relatively minor maintenance release, but still has some goodies: * Faster scanner * Improved type inference * New rules * Many fixes! biomejs.dev/blog/biome-v...

To developers that maintain libraries: how do you interact with users that use AI to interact?

I just tried Gemini CLI out of curiosity, and it needs some improvements: - it attempted to do the same task multiple times - it got stuck doing the same task, which didn't emit any actions - even when I exclusively told it to avoid those tasks, it kept trying even though they weren't necessary

We have started working on providing full support for @vuejs.org, @svelte.dev, @astro.build, and hopefully, @angular.dev as well. Subscribe and engage with the following issue github.com/biomejs/biom...

Follow this advice! It's not a genuine practice, because it adds a lot of work to your development dependencies (TS, Biome, eslint, etc.), and your downstream users too!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm looking for work! I'm a JavaScript/TypeScript expert with a ton of experience in Node, ASTs, Testing Frameworks, Docker, and more! - 10 years experience - Former core maintainer of Prettier - 315 GitHub repos, 198 npm packages suchipi.com/Resume2025.pdf

NEVER buy anything Adobe. Adobe is the example of what greed does to a company. No matter how outraged people are; no matter that the FTC is suing Adobe and executives for this practice; Adobe keeps doing it. I got scammed by this same practice in 2020 the same way: I switched to Affinity instead.

That's right, type-aware lint rules without the TypeScript compiler! It's been a wild ride, but we arrived there. Enjoy!
