Big diff go brrrrr

Where can I find info about @tangled.org outages? Having trouble creating repos.

The more I experiment with AI the more convinced I am the real moat in Software Dev will be folks who still practice primarily coding by hand.

"Agentic engineering forces me to engage with my problem in both formal and informal languages." So does literate programming and that's been around for decades. But with literate programming someone else can read the informal train of thought after the formal construct is produced.

Alright, trying out @tangled.org I still don't really understand AT Proto, but looks like it's time to look seriously at getting off GH. An tips for a convert/newcomer?

Vite+ is open source under MIT and free for everyone.

I'm working on adding this to a certain stealthy OSS npm package browser. Would you use this? What's missing?

🔥 amazing PR just merged from @wlls.dev using @deno.land's docs package to generate docs for any package on the npm registry ....

Your project deserves docs. $ npx skills add nuxt-content/docus Then: "/create-docs" Full doc site with SEO, MCP, copy page, llms.txt, everything automatic. Your AI can now read your docs. Your users can search it. Google can index it. In less than 2 minutes, give it a try👇

when you collaborate in open source teams, you need to unlearn a lot of what your company work taught you

so we just added support for @tangled.org in our npmjs ui. plus: - bitbucket - @gitlab.com - gitee - @gitea.com - codeberg - sourcehut which others am I missing?

I'm asking because I'm building an alternative to npmjs.com, including the admin ui piece I have a working mvp, although of course it's very 🚧 if this is something you'd like to contribute to, and you've experienced any of these pain points, let me know - always more fun to build together! 🙏

Each year, I try to single out a word to mark my upcoming year. Last year's word was "craft", meaning "to make by hand" and connoting skill or excellence. An ironic word, given the times. This year, my word is "simple", in the Rich Hickey vein, deriving from "sim-plex" meaning "one fold".

If I didn't know better, I might assume that car websites are openly hostile to users.

I need to stay off of LinkedIn y'all. The amount of borderline web development hype-driven disinformation is getting ridiculous. I'm going to lose it if I see one more AI-generated comparison image of how the React `use` API CHANGES DATA FETCHING FOREVERRRR (no disrespect to the use API)

Testing server-rendered HTML: Make a request, look at the result. Testing React et al: Make a request. Receive HTML. Ignore it! It also contains a string. The string is attached to a bird The bird speaks latin Find an antiquities professor He can distract the bird While you build a fake browser

Does AI-assisted coding actually make you faster, or does it just feel that way? Tired of anecdotes, time to experiment. I built a CLI to find out. Define hypotheses, work in time-boxed blocks, track both feelings and git metrics. Now running my own N=1 experiment. wlls.dev/blog/devex

TypeGPU is so cool wlls.dev/lab/gpu/game...

just had to talk to a chatbot to cancel a subscription. the "cancel subscription" button (already hidden in some low contrast, inaccessible ellipses in a modal) opened a chat with a prompt for cancelling. no other apparent way to cancel and had to talk to an LLM to get the button. please, no.

This year I built a little holiday celebration app for my team in SvelteKit and Gleam. It was a blast! Gleam is really neat, highly recommend. I gotta try Lustre still. Read about it here: wlls.dev/blog/snowglobe Or try the (redacted / open sourced) version here: github.com/devdumpling/...

Big improvement to frameworks on Cloudflare! You can now deploy most frameworks from the CLI with zero config. No adding adapters. No editing configs. No wrangler.toml! It's all done automatically. Experimental now, with 10 frameworks supported today. developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/20...

⚡️ The first Vite 8.0 beta is here! - Powered by Rolldown, bringing significantly faster production builds and more consistency - New features such as tsconfig paths or emitDecoratorMetadata support - Bumping browser targets aligned with Baseline Widely Available Read more in our announcement post!

how many all-in-one toolchains should i have in my project

Announcing Oxfmt: Oxc Formatter Alpha oxc.rs/blog/2025-1...

Has anyone tried actually running experiments on how they develop with LLM-assisted workflows? I see many subjective takes (pro and negative) but think it'd be neat to record a significant stretch of: - no AI usage - "moderate" usage (e.g. autocomplete, lite chat) - heavy usage (IDE + agentic)

Got asked at Thanksgiving by a family member how to get hired in tech. Like many juniors I've interviewed, their resume/github is all toy projects, which is good for learning but not hiring. I tried to think about what I would do if I had no experience, but knew what I know now.

wlls.dev/blog/on-tail... Every so often I get into a debate on tailwind (mostly yakshaving, IMO). It goes back and forth, usually with people speaking past each other. I finally sat down and put my experience into words on why I like tailwind (and where I don't).

Frontend is failing. 75% of devices with browsers are smartphones, but not even half of sites pass Core Web Vitals on them. Why not? Too much JavaScript, added to indulge SPA fantasies the data is falsifying in real time: infrequently.org/2025/11/perf...

Gleam seems like a much softer entrypoint into the BEAM than Elixir or Erlang for frontend engineers more used to Typescript/C-derived languages. Has anyone made a component/JSX-like templating framework for it? Lustre is elm-y, which I like but is likely foreign to the average React dev.

Alright fine I'll try Gleam

A couple of weeks ago at @perfnow.nl I gave a talk called "Fine-grained everything". It's about @svelte.dev (obviously), and the new frontiers of framework-land, but it's also about some stubborn misconceptions in web performance circles Gift link: conffab.com/presentation...

Some reflections on emergent technology discourse: wlls.dev/blog/rethink... How can we have less polarizing discussions on new technologies/ideas in software? So often it seems we speak past each other, often oversimplifying problems in order to rep "our camp".

👀 Navigation API will be available in all browsers soon 🎉 Completely redefines the APIs used to build client-side routers / SPAs 🫤 History API: popState, link click.preventDefault() ... ✅ Navigation API: clean, centralized way to intercept navigation events 👌

last chance to take the State of JS survey if you haven't already, it closes in a day or two survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Someone explain Elixir / Phoenix LiveView to me. What do you like about it? The model reminds me of sync engines, except Phoenix LV is attacking the problem from the other direction: "what if server side rendering was reactive?" vs "what if client reactivity, but with server state as src of truth?"

Anybody managed to get a SvelteKit app in a Deno monorepo running on Deno Deploy? It can't seem to figure out that the root isn't where the dist is, and there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to override the build directory. Tried many things/am abt ready to throw my hands up and go back to CF.

I want to love @deno.land (as I think their vision is the right direction), but it feels like adoption is slow despite their advances since 2.0. Are there any medium - large companies / projects using Deno that can speak to it?

The duality of wanting to try every new sync engine on the block while also absolutely not needing a local data model for anything I'm currently building.

Was scratching my single brain cell over here trying to figure out how to turn streaming on on my new blog... which is a static site. I think I may have spent too much time "optimizing" SPA architecture lately y'all 🫠

So the joke goes "a platform engineer walked into a React conference..." infrequently.org/2025/06/conferen…

what the fuck is this contrast?

One of the bigger challenges I have had promoting @solidjs.com is assuming developers have a general idea of how their tools work. I'd show off fine-grained rendering, and be met with "Isn't that how React works?" I'd find myself educating them more about their existing tools.

I can't believe it's out, I hope you like it as much as I do, I put a lot of care and effort into that thing. Massive thanks to all my sponsors, small and big, I couldn't have done it without them ❤️

In @syntax.fm 889 they discussed instances where a media query would be preffered over or alongside a container query. I just ran into one such instance while designing a dynamic Search component... syntax.fm/show/889/pla...
