Welp it's official, I'm on the hunt for my next role. I learned a lot in the past 8 months, and I'm ready to get back out there for my next role. If you're looking for someone for devrel/devrel-adjacent roles, I got over a decade of experience in developer relations and ready help your team!

TypeScript 6.0 is now available! This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more! But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

Three months ago, I got some not so great test results from the doctor. Nothing major, but trending poorly. Made me rethink my physical health. I changed up my nutrition entirely, improved my sleep hygiene, and added consistent exercise – a mix of strength training, yoga, and cardio. 1/3

Sadly had to cancel today cause of sickness, but going to reschedule once I'm feeling better. Love hanging with @tdesseyn.bsky.social!!! bsky.app/profile/torc...

We've got some updates on TypeScript 7! The new native port - can type-check any project - supports --build and --incremental - has rich editor features implemented - is still 10x faster and is ready for you to try today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/p...

@raygesualdo.com is pulling up as our Guidance Counselor 2.0 and it’s gonna be chef’s kiss 🍿 If you’re into honest advice on cold outreach, finding a team that actually gets you, and building value that maps to business goals — you should be here. Dec 3 • 10:30 AM EST Host: @tdesseyn.bsky.social

It's November 5th so obviously watching V for Vendetta. This movie hits different in 2025...

Wow, this is huge news for the SWC ecosystem! I _love_ how fast SWC is, but updating plugins has historically been a huge pain. Glad it's getting smoothed out. blog.swc.rs/2025-11-4-wa...

It's so funny watching kids pretend to be doctors. This morning, my 3yo fixed my "sprained wrist" by 1. sprinkling water on it, 2. squeezing orange juice on it, 3. drying it with a frying pan (🤷‍♂️), 4. using a hair clip to tweeze the sprain out, and 5. wrapping it in a sock to keep it clean. 😂

👀 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 👌

Say it with me together everyone (US-based at least): "The left lane is for PASSING."

Codemod tools like jscodeshift are great for extracting or analyzing a codebase too! I needed to find out how we were using a number of components at Cribl. Using jscodeshift, I crawled our largest frontend repo, extracted usage data, and persisted it to SQLite.

Probably a good time to post a few links regarding food banks and aid: Feeding America (www.feedingamerica.org) - find local foodbanks Mutual Aid Hub (www.mutualaidhub.org)- find mutual aid funds near you If you're able to donate to a foodbank (cash or otherwise), please consider doing so!

Huh, turns out regular exercise helps you feel better. Who knew?!

Pulled up next to someone blasting Chevelle's This Type Of Thinking (Could Do Us In) album so naturally I'm now listening to Chevelle 😂

@crutchcorn.dev Anything we need to do to get the Plop docs site updated? I was on there today implementing Plop in a new project and noticed the most recent TypeScript updates (github.com/plopjs/plop/...) aren't in there. Happy to help if I can.

Played my first game of D&D last night. It was awesome! Here's a Midjourney recreation of when a friend leaped down an ancient well to save me from a giant centipede dragging me down into the depths. Except we both failed our skill checks so I got kicked in the face and he missed the centipede 😂

Rocking some dope Cribl swag today. Bonus points cause I'm rewatching Chuck right now 😂

Today was a good day 😁 Hardwired speeds are bonkers!

Wrote a quick bash/zsh function to make creating worktrees easier.

Used `git worktree` for the first time today and I'm loving it!

I've spent more money on tech for myself in the last 48 hours than I have in that past 4 years 😂 Guess October 7 is The Best Day of the Year™!

Oof, BitBucket's REST API is absolute hot garbage 😬

Just found out there's a dad jokes channel in the Cribl Slack. I have found my people 😂

I think I officially work at Cribl now 😂

Excited to share that I've joined Cribl.io as a Staff Software Engineer working on their Platform UI team! Can't wait to do great things with these great people! #LetsGOAT

Walked over 20,000 steps yesterday, many with a 40lb kid on my shoulders. Wasn't expecting to be this sore 😂

Taking some much needed relaxation time with the family this week. Then gearing up for a new career adventure! Will be able to share more soon!

This is beautiful 🤘 I know what I'm going to be adding to my Astro site this weekend...

The earnestness with which a 3 year old implores you to not step on the lava is next level!

Another circle around the sun in the books! Time for some 🎂!

It's easy to miss a key feature of Node's TypeScript support that was released on Friday: it's zero config 💥 Meaning you don't need to put anything in package.json. Strictly speaking you don't even need a tsconfig to run the code. nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

I've been vibe coding for a decade. If you define it as cranking some tunes and slinging some code 😂

Taught my 5yo "anthropomorphized" 🤣

Respect for everything the Rspack team has been doing the past year and a half. If you're interested in the Rspack/Rsbuild ecosystem, check out the Awesome Rspack repo for links to great resources courtesy of @rspack.dev. github.com/web-infra-de...

I haven't been able to spend much time in the Elixir ecosystem as of late (sadly; it's a great language), but this project is really neat. forums.swift.org/t/introducin...

Well, my grill was just on fire. Wonderful.

OK @jason.energy, the Broken Earth trilogy was amazing! Just finished it (had to wait for holds at the library) and loved it. Thanks for the rec!

oxlint + tsgolint = no slow down! no-floating-promises completes 4.4k files in 3.2 seconds, in the vscode repo. typescript-go is the future, all credits to the ts-go team! We just glued everything together 😀 github.com/microsoft/ty...

Ray's Donuts (no relation) are the best!

The world wide web at its finest.

There were so many great skits, it's hard to say what peak Flight of the Conchords was. But this is definitely a contender. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BcF...

My 5yo keeps saying "hookers" instead of "hornets" and, since we're dealing with a hornets nest in the back yard, hilarity has ensued 🤣

Go to bed before it's fully dark outside? Why yes, I think I shall 😴

Went code golfing and realized I didn't have my `Map.getOrInsert` iron in my bag. Very disappointing.

Finished The Pitt over the weekend. What a show! Best 15 episodes of television I've seen in a while (and I've watched some good shows). The ensemble casts is great, but Noah Wyle in particular absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Loading the workout equipment in the house IS the workout 😮‍💨

Upgraded my personal site from @astro.build 4.5 to 5.11 over lunch. Expected the worst, scars no doubt from the days of upgrading Gatsby and Next.js. Took 30 seconds. Ran the `@astrojs/upgrade` script and everything Just Worked™. My production build times dropped by 45% too. Love Astro so much!

Another day, another instance where do expressions in JS would make things easier...

Finally got back to writing last week and talked about the internal livestreams I ran at work. www.raygesualdo.com/posts/how-to...
