I've been using @coderabbitai.bsky.social on a few OSS projects for some time, and it's awesome what it's able to catch. Can't wait to bring that pipeline to our momentum at @playfulprogramming.com. 🏎️ I'm also deeply grateful for their support of our efforts. 🙏

Excited to be part of the GitHub Stars program for 2026 again! 🚀

Angular 21.2 will bring support for arrow functions in templates; a massive improvement for TanStack Form users! github.com/angular/angu... Can't wait to change over our docs to show this.

There's many kinds of engineering personality. IE: Some prefer moving quickly, while others want consistency in their output As an engineering manager, it's critical to figure out how to balance these types of reports and work alongside them in their own way: playfulprogramming.com/posts/tradeo...

TIL, Chrome 144 ships some new pseudo-classes. 👏 Within limits, you can now style the matching strings of the "find in page" search. ::search-text { // matching strings } ::search-text:current { // currently matched string } More on the blog. 👇 www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-lear...

Just hit 1,000 followers on GitHub! Check it out for yourself: github.com/crutchcorn/ How exciting, thank you for joining me for my developer journey!

TIL there's ongoing work to add a native virtual file system (VFS) to Node.js!! Yes please!!! 😱🤩 github.com/nodejs/node/... @nodeland.dev you are a hero!

Exciting news—Clack v1.0 is here! 🎉 🫳 Dropped CJS distribution (the only breaking change) 🆕 Added autocomplete, taskLog, and more 🌏 Localization support 🐞 Dozens of bug fixes + performance improvements 🤗 Ecosystem alignment This release marks stable support for our current APIs

well this was fun to hack on for a bit! github.com/crutchcorn/r... got to learn a lot about glibc, libc in general, gcc, and zig!

i want to see how hard it is to use zig + c + rust together to support 3 different oses in a single rust codebase. let's figure it out together: twitch.tv/crutchcorn

This is a huge (and important!) change for the Angular ecosystem. One more step towards performant defaults in Angular. Next stop? Signal components! github.com/angular/angu...

Introducing Tab! Tab makes it easy to add shell autocompletions to your JavaScript CLI. Tab has already been adopted by the @cloudflare.social @nuxt.com and @vitest.dev CLIs. Are you next?

tauri, what is this??

I'm live on twitch doing some rust coding and other mcguffins twitch.tv/crutchcorn come hang out!

Today in the Web Fundamentals Bootcamp: JavaScript. No frameworks yet — just: – What JS is – The browser console – Variables & runtime types – Blocks {} – Conditionals Want a refresher or a clean introduction? Starting at 9pm ET / 6pm PT in our discord. Join us 👇 discord.gg/FMcvc6T

Rich text editors seem simple until you try to build one. They’re not just `contenteditable`, they’re document models, selections, transactions, and explicit control over user intent. This is why editors like ProseMirror and Lexical share similar internals, even if their APIs look very different.

Working on @tanstack.com Form's React Compiler support has taught me a lot about adapting libraries to support it. Here's what I've learned: playfulprogramming.com/posts/react-...

A sneak peek at the hero for my next samwho.dev blog post. It’s still very early so don’t expect to see this published any time soon. I want to talk about the enormous rabbit hole I let myself fall into, and why this post has taken longer to get off the ground than my others.

We are joining Cloudflare! astro.build/blog/joining...

Angular friends! @thvdnta.bsky.social has been cooking an awesome @tanstack.com Pacer integration for y'all. I'm unavail for a bit, anyone wanna snipe the review out from under me to help get this across the finish line? 👀 github.com/TanStack/pac...

`+1 -7` That was our diff for @playfulprogramming.com and our dev server has never been faster! github.com/playfulprogr... Try it out for yourself and provide the awesome Astro team some feedback 🚀

Courney has been an incredible engineer on our project and has a lot of insights to give on this topic. Can't wait to see where this series goes!

inb4 @zeu.dev and I are given our own PBS drawing show 😤

The process to become a @fastly.com Fast Forward member was impressively seamless. A lovely partner to work with through and through. I also want to give some massive kudos to James Fenn, our board chairperson and tech lead, for leading up the technicals behind the zero-downtime. He's amazing!

there is something off about this design - it's the vertical text alignment this new CSS feature just made aligning text 100x easier

In the Web Dev Challenge season 2 finale, the dev teams raced to build charming apps intended to connect people. Featuring @zeu.dev, @crutchcorn.dev, @tekgadgt.dev, Austin, @codingshaman.bsky.social, and Derek. Watch the full episode now: codetv.dev/series/web-d...

Bought an eInk Android tablet (Boox) for a friend around Christmas. While developing an app for it, we came to realize that only first-party drawing apps (using their C library) have acceptable latency. This is what a stripped down Jetpack Ink API looks like on it:

I was on a programming gameshow @codetv.dev with @zeu.dev We managed to build a PictoChat style application in 4 hours in the competition. Was a bunch of fun, check it out: youtu.be/qYx8NX49OS8

tadpole.social - Pictochat, but frogs? 🐸🎨 Watch as @crutchcorn.dev and I have the time of our lives building the wackiest chat room in only FOUR (4) hours 👨‍💻👩‍💻 Right now on @codetv.dev's Web Dev Challenge SEASON TWO FINALE 💻💙✨

Just caught and fixed a major performance problem in @tanstack.com Form for @solidjs.com We were accidentally re-rendering every field when a single value was changed. Oops! This has been fixed and everything is fine-grained as expected again.

Early preview of what my next blog post will be about: stackblitz.com/edit/react-c...

Another banger.

Mental health is important, and you never know what struggles someone is going through. This is a powerful story and I love the de-stigmatization of seeking help and inpatient care. On a personal level I don't think I'd be the same human I am today without Prozac. 💪

It should be way more normal to talk about this stuff. Thank you Corbin. Also, make sure to read the full series, playfulprogramming.com/collections/...

This was incredibly hard to write. I hope you'll take the time to read it. playfulprogramming.com/posts/psycho...

Safari 26.2 is here with 65 features + 165 bug fixes — including field-sizing, Navigation API, Largest Contentful Paint, command & commandfor, CHIPS opt-in partitioned cookies, scrollend event, random(), WebGPU in WebXR, scrollbar-color, hidden=until-found and much more! webkit.org/blog/17640/w...

I've been wanting an e-ink tablet to help me focus while doing writing... But then keep realizing all of the problems that would arise (window management, code editing, et al) So instead I wrote a shader for my Windows desktop that mimics the style. Looks shockingly convincing to my eyes

people taking the high horse on the react vulns really piss me off.. your tribalist low-effort dunks just show that you don't understand how pushing the envelope always comes with risks for new exploits! much love from the svelte community to all the react folks working overtime to keep people save

sounds fake but I'm starting a company with my nemesis David E. ArkType and our first hire is @andarist.bsky.social and our first product is now in beta :)

📣 TanStack AI Alpha is here! ✨ Framework agnostic 🤖 Provider agnostic 🧠 Type safe 🔧 Isomorphic tools 🛠 Devtools 🌐 Open protocol 📦 JS, Python, PHP ⚛️ React, Solid, Vanilla 🌀 OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, ++ Official blog post: tanstack.com/blog/tanstac... Docs: tanstack.com/ai

🧵 1/6 `for` loops in JavaScript are more complex than you think they are. Let's start with a basic `for (let i = 0;)`... Here we can see it counting from 0 - 2. But everything in the parens for the `for` loop aren't executed all-at-once.

THEY ANNOUNCED THE SAMSUNG TRIFOLD PHONE LIKE THIS???? news.samsung.com/global/intro...

help me social-wan-media: is there a Chrome extension that will alert me to what account I am currently logged into on GitHub? The more "in your face" the better.

Just released @tanstack.com Form 1.27! Comes with React Compiler fixes (for all edgecases AFAICT), React 17 compat updates, and..... The Svelte Composition API port! 🎉 tanstack.com/form/latest/... Try it out in your apps and let me know what you think!

BTW I know nobody was asking but if you wanna see Vue in Node.js sharing a single Redux store with a Vue SPA app: github.com/crutchcorn/v... GLHF reading THAT source code lmao

By default we don’t error in the Babel plugin because breaking builds is generally not preferred. But if you want to fail the build on errors, you can: react.dev/reference/re...

This was a great read! Particularly important to read if you are early in career or looking to get into tech 👀 Looking forward to the rest of this series!

We need more humanizing elements in engineering. As such, I'm starting a blog post series that outlines personal (and sometimes extremely vulnerable) experiences that I think touch on the interpersonal aspects of our field. To start? Survivorship bias. playfulprogramming.com/posts/surviv...

What does Svelte call reactive & functional APIs like `useX`? React has "Hooks" Vue has "compositions" I've been told that my usage of "runes" for these are wrong. What's the alternative?
