📮 In the first feature-length article on the Bloomberg JS Blog... @jonkuperman.com explains: 🗺️ what are source maps ✅ how he worked with others to standardize them in TC39 ✨ the new debugging features this unlocks

very useful insight from The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter about what happened with Blocks 👀 🔗 newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pulse...

seems like codex's multi-agent is not quite ready for prime time 🐧 been hitting a bunch of issues mostly related to how the main agent and the subagents interact and their lifecycles (using 5.4 xhigh) (and yes well I guess it's to be expected, it's experimental for a reason 🙃)

been catching up with the AI world and was reading Simon Willison’s Weblog - in particular his Agentic Engineering Patterns section: simonwillison.net/guides/agen... decided to read through it and extract some improvements for to agentsparty.dev ... quite a beefy addition 🍿

ICYMI: I built a D&D-themed multi-agent orchestration framework and would love your help testing it 🎲 👀 it's got DMs, adventuring parties, journals, and a "throne room" for meta-orchestration (and its OSS) [bun, preact, astro + gemini 3.1] 🔗 agentsparty.dev

no shade on anyone but damn if you are doing agentic coding for webapps and you are not using the chrome-devtools MCP... why it's such a massively useful tool (this one github.com/ChromeDevTo... )

finally got access to codex 5.3 👀🍿 time to put it to the test and see how it does

soooOOOO I've been nerding out on multi-agent orchestration lately and ended up building something silly that I kinda want to share 🎲🤓 (beware, wall of text incoming 🧵) agentsparty.dev 👀

Regardless of your political positions, if you are not disgusted by the US and Israel bombing a school you should prob do a morality check. (yes, yes, we know that based on Israeli intelligence there were terrorists and nuclear weapons in the basement...) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

might be 🧑‍🍳 here 👀👀👀

big step recently: after 8+ years, I finished my therapy journey with my main therapist. It has run its course, and made me a much better human 🧘 it doesn't mean ofc that I'm perfect, but that the type of work i could do with them is... dealt with, for now. Next up? CBT 🍿

the most sustainable career advice i ever got: treat your energy like a finite resource, because it is 🔋 no amount of coffee or hustle culture tweets will change that 🙃

a couple things i added to my personal machine gemini settings 👀🍿

uhm i feel i lost complete touch lately with the London tech scene. what meetups are folks going to these days? or are we past that, and now there are other ways/places devs people to nerd out about stuff?

greenfield PSA: you don't need to maintain a huge project to "be an OSS person" - helping triage issues, reviewing PRs, answering questions in discussions... all of this keeps projects alive 🌱🤝 (and, if anything, make you more trustworthy over time U_U)

kind of bummed that codex still doesn't support subagents/agent team but happily surprised to find that gemini does have them 👀👀👀 🧑‍🍳 geminicli.com/docs/core/s...

doom running on an earbud? oh hell yes 🔥 doombuds.com/

who knew 15-year-old me DM'ing D&D 3.5 would end up being perfect training for agent orchestration 🤓🤓🤓

fully agree with this one: www.qu8n.com/posts/most-... communication skills are key and a true game changer even for devs

ULTRA SECRET PRO TIP to immediately become a better software engineer: when someone leave comments on your PR, reply to it explaining what you did to resolve them - don't just "resolve it" and leave the reviewer guessing 🙈

allright time to take Opus 4.6 for a spin 🧑‍💻 i'm doing my first session ever and it's already automagically running multiple subagents in parallel (i didn't tell it to do it) 🍿🍿🍿 a couple of relevant links: 🔗 code.claude.com/docs/en/age... 🔗 www.anthropic.com/engineering...

ok so i'll be honest, i mostly played around with the sortings and noticed some fascinating things like who has the most contributors VS the most stars and other OSS things 😂 but super interesting website zoo.js.org/#sort=-gith...

nice writeup on macOS's latest tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-... (also i am so not upgrading my personal machine as long as I can avoid it)

uhm not sure when this happened but google decided to basically kill the timeline feature? what? it's on device only on mobile and it doesn't have the yearly or monthly views anymore...? dafaq?

Four legit Open VSX extensions shipped credential-stealing malware after the publisher was compromised. The Eclipse Foundation/Open VSX security team confirmed it was consistent with leaked tokens or other unauthorized publishing access.

following up from what I was asking last week about changing therapists - I noticed "I'm Happy You're Here" has a whole new playlist of videos all around learning about therapy and the different schools! Nice 🧘🤓 www.youtube.com/playlist?li...

a bit late on this, but the Callstack team did a RN best practises skill for everyone to use in their agents! have you tried it yet? (and is anyone getting a bit of flashbacks when eslint configs started going around? like the airbnb one) 🔗 www.callstack.com/blog/announ...

to the colleague who showed me this... thanks, this is awesome! and I hate it 😂 🔗 cursed-lang.org/

with coding agents, do you add extra info/instructions in your prompts about what the agent should do "around" when the compacting is about to happen? ex. "when you are running out of context, please save state to this .md and pick it up again after the compacting?"

silly little QoL improvement: made a small bash that i run when switching up my laptop to start a few terminal windows and agents in dedicated folders with "startup" instructions (super useful especially for the "actual secretary" one I have) (YES, I shut it down every evening)

friends - any of you changed therapist because you wanted to try a different school/approach? any suggestions/tips for how to go about that? I'm curios about exploring some other approaches #mentalhealth

just tried creating a new Expo project over the weekend and noticed that they: A) in the template put AGENTS[.]md file (good) B) linked in it some txt version of their docs! this is very fascinating stuff! I wonder how many other projects do that

good quote on resetting expectations and how to fuel motivation in an healthier, more grounded way 💎 bakadesuyo.com/2026/01/mot...

allright time for a 🌶️ take now that it's been a couple weeks: this thing of the pen from OpenAI... I don't think it's gonna fly - there have been plenty of similar approaches to this one but it's so clunky to go from writing on paper and interact with those notes on AI 🫥

pnpm is such a good tool, happy to see it 📈📈📈📈 pnpm.io/blog/2025/1...

ok this is a seriously cool read 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (...i just wish napi was a bit less overloaded of a term since N-API is also a big deal with Hermes & RN) devongovett.me/blog/static...

*groans* I really can't find a resource that makes my brain "lock in" around MCPs, how to build them, how to use them, etc any links? 🙂‍↕️

pagination is hard, case #384813471 youtube history page just gives up after a while 🥲

another side effect of #AI shortening the distance between idea and something-that-works: for a long time I couldn't be bothered to make apps for things I felt I needed Now all the time I'm like "uhm I can probably get this up and running in a few hours from 0"

if you are a coder and need a goal for 2026 - make this one IT: Do the Work, and Tell People. great writeup 🔗 github.com/readme/guid...

brb gonna go cook up a variant of this for RN apps developer.microsoft.com/blog/jsts-m...

Takuya-san approach to code and content has always inspired me, and I love reading his posts - absolute 💎 🔗 www.devas.life/why-a-linea...

It's a brand new year and loads of y'all are looking for work, so here's a thread of tech jobs I've seen in my online wandering that have tech for good (or at least minimally evil) vibes:

Severe Weather Emergency Protocol activated in London ❄️ The temperature is due to drop below freezing tonight, and emergency accommodation is open across the capital for those sleeping rough. If you are sleeping rough or know someone who is, connect to support via StreetLink thestreetlink.org.uk

🥳 TypeSlayer is out! celebrate by posting what your type graph looks like! it legit has an actual leaderboard now: so bonus points if you win lol 🏆🏆 run: `npx typeslayer` source: github.com/dimitropoulo...

raising a glass to all of you, friends near and far, for a good 2026 🥂 2025 was messy and incredibly stressful. My hope for you all is that we'll look back on it like the COVID times - happy it's behind us and grateful we made it through 🫂

top 1% of ChatGPT users? kind of insane, considering that this is my personal account - all my work stuff is on a totally different laptop on totally different accounts and tools 😱 (but tbf I did play a bit with codex on this machine/account as well)

I've finished my report on burnout in OSS and how to reduce it! Read more (and find the link to the full report) on the Open Source Pledge blog! Huge thanks to all the OSS devs who shared their perspectives 💜 Let's keep shining a light on this under-recognised issue!
