So let me get this straight, the Trump administration is going into a tax/business/legal battle with Harvard University? Isn’t that literally the best school in the entire world for law and business?

Just remember, every new lint rule you add is just another reason everyone should hate you. That’s right, you, the engineer that added 10–20 additional lint rules on top of the defaults, after enabling all the built-in rules. Everyone hates you. Even your immediate family. You’re the worst.

"Micro optimization" is an overused term. If someone's doing some hard-to-read trickery to eek out some performance that probably doesn't matter? Sure. "micro optimization" If someone wrote readable, more efficient code? That's just better code, not a "micro optimization".

Want to learn more about Observables in Chrome? Learn about it like we did, from @domfarolino.com himself! Shout out to @benlesh.bsky.social, author of the original proposal. Big love to Ben and Dominic, both for bringing this code to life and for teaching us about it! 🤩 youtu.be/IMIVmCkwOT4

Dear AWS: "blue/green" deployments are so weird. Was "odd/even" not available to you? Please stop being weird. kthx

RxJS 7.8.2 has been published. github.com/ReactiveX/rx...

✨Heads up! Observables are shipping natively to a browser near you soon! Huge thank you and congrats to @domfarolino.com ❤️ I've helped / worked on / watched this through different standards bodies for more than 10 years now. ☠️ (I'm going to have a lot of work now to adapt RxJS to this 😅)

Hey @bsky.app , why can't I click on someone's profile banner and view it enlarged? I want to get a better look at whatever they're showing off of up there.

"Good code is self commenting" 🙄 Sure. But even perfect code can't always tell you WHY it's doing what it's doing. Now with AI assistants, they're not going to git blame, and read PRs and issues to know the "whys" ...but they can read inline comments and jsdocs.

If you'd ask me in 2015 what will web dev look like one decade from now, my imagination would have gone WILD. Instead, we just got Next.js

Rx Visualizer Beta V1 out now. #rxjs #angular Check it out here: rxvisualizer.com

🚨PSA: When copying GitHub URLs, always hit "Y" first! Hitting "Y" adds the current SHA to the URL. This ensures your link doesn't break as the repository changes over time.

I'd kill for greenfield work. But the money is in maintaining 5+ year old, neglected spaghetti for very productive spaghetti farmers. The real reason to work on OSS is just to have a nice place of your own to enjoy coding.

I'm not sure why I never realized this, but it makes sense. JSX doesn't treat new lines in text the same way that the browser interprets them in HTML text content It's just interesting, in HTML the outcomes below would be the same.

Lmfao. Either a bug in the blue sky app messed up my upload, or I accidently selected this picture of a sloth named Choco that was "adopted" for me for Christmas. Probably the latter

This is the first oil painting I've finished in 25 years. A long overdue gift for my parents. Although there's a lot to improve, I've never been happier with a painting. I'm not really an "artist" anymore, but a hobbyist. So I'll take it

I LOVE telling my kids I love them. It's the best feeling I get every day.

This is probably the most concise I’ve ever been on signals in react

If you're an architect or team lead using RxJS and Angular, this video is for you! 😎 Featuring @synalx.bsky.social & @pkozlowski.bsky.social responding to the new Observable API from @domfarolino.com and @benlesh.bsky.social 🔥 Red rover, red rover, send @littledan.dev over? 🙏🥰 youtu.be/205cMTcQ82Y

Honestly, being forced to work with Microsoft Edge at work has me appreciating it a bit. + Optional vertical tabs + AI tab grouping + Solid AI integration with Copilot + A lot of the same goodness of Chrome in dev tools etc

Y'all, I've been playing Cooking Madness 2. I'm trained and ready to run around making burgers and sushi on a busy street or in an active volcano now.

um

Wrapping setState in startTransition will prevent 100% of the wasted renders for the old state. The problem is the unnecessary synchronous setState, not the number of renders.

Fuck this

OMFG!!! My children are members of the same assassins' guild! 😱

Coding and education about coding are completely changing. You can literally have Claude or ChatGPT walk you through best practices and how-tos in nearly anything code-related. Personalized. Free. Interactive. Directly in the codebase you care about. How could online tutorials compete?

One more video about @benlesh.bsky.social 🥰 #sorryNotSorry 😇🤣 cc @synalx.bsky.social Ben, love ya! Pop in again to nerd out with us anytime! ❤️ You too @littledan.dev, we would love TC39 updates! 🙏🤓 youtu.be/IvlJnXZjrOk

This is what happens when you try to use AI for professional art work. This is a Call of Duty: Black Ops loading screen. 🤣

Y’all what in the world is happening in South Korea right now? Do I know any South Koreans here? Can somebody explain?

FRIENDS STAY WINNING 🥇 Congratulations @devagr.bsky.social & @cmgriffing.bsky.social 💛✨🥳

I doubt this will be seen by large numbers of people. 🤣

Social media has ruined web dev the EXACT same way that it ruined politics. If there were elections in tech, it would be down to a few very popular but completely unqualified candidates who would each have their followers believing they were the "best", and then we'd elect a moron.

I'm still dying for #TypeScript to implement a feature that allows better messages for invalid types found with meta programming. Rather that "does not match type 'never'" or whatever happens now. Like this proposal: github.com/microsoft/Ty...

#TypeScript PSA: If you're using `for..of` to do all of your iteration, you don't need to pass/type things as Array, use Iterable! `for..of` does iteration, so any Iterable will work. Passing `Item[]` here would be a unnecessarily restrictive:

Big thanks to Dom, Alex, and Pawel for making time to visit our group and chat about what they're working on, thanks to @benlesh.bsky.social for the proposal and introduction to Dom, and thanks to @ag-grid.bsky.social for helping our community host cool discussions like this one! #WeLearnTogether 🥰

90% of what people are building with AI is useless or silly, where they took about 15 minutes to write a silly prompt and added some storage to the system. That said, it's still better than "Web 3" where 99% of it was useless and silly, but they spent years working on it.

Apple feature request: the ability to disable speakers on phones in your home for when your in-denial-about-being-hearing-impaired boomer relatives visit.

protobuf, and .proto files are too low-resolution to be the "source of truth" for generated types for other languages. Letting backend developers lean so hard on those for so long was a mistake. .proto files should be generated from strongly defined languages, not the other way around.

Haha. So like... None of them?

One of the things I like about the tech community here on BlueSky is that I haven’t seen as much self promotion. At least maybe the grifters haven’t figured out the algorithm here. Twitter was so bad I nearly walked away from it.

AI coding helpers still stink at assisting large refactors, sadly. They speed things up a little, but I'd like it to step through changes and have me validate and apply them over and over. For example, to convert a whole codebase from JS to TS, which isn't always easy.

I'm very impressed by Microsoft Edge's built-in shopping features. If you browse to an item on a retail site, Edge will give you price trend information and prices for other retailers! Super handy, IMO.

bluesky should *truly* innovate on block features by letting me add a note saying why the fuck i blocked someone, for my own future benefit

Only semi-related, but a common difference I see between real world usage of interfaces vs type aliases Always prefer to use properties with function types, not methods Methods are bivariant even with --strictFunctionTypes www.typescriptlang.org/play/?target...

After reading responses, I'm going to stick with defaulting to interfaces. It's the TS team recommendation. Even working on a TS library in a monorepo with 100,000+ targets, I never once saw a reopened interface cause an issue. I *have*, however, seen degraded TS performance from overuse of `type`.
