A barren boxing day morning - I had company on the walk though. Birds cawing very loudly

Rob continues to relentlessly enrich my feed with interesting JS/TS stuff. Being plugged into what Rob is sharing keeps me educated and I'm grateful to him for it ♥️

It's Christmas Day. I could eat anything I like. I'm going to have some fruit. Fight the power

Merry Christmas one and all! 🎄🕯️

I expected many things from parenthood. I did not expect that my child would sign off phone calls by affecting a cockney accent and saying "lovely jubbly"

HUGE thanks to the AWS Open Source & AWS JS SDK teams for an INCREDIBLE $5,000 GitHub Sponsors end-of-year sponsorship! 🤯 This is the single biggest sponsorship intake I've ever received. It's about as much as I usually make on GitHub Sponsors in ~10 months. I am absolutely floored. 1/🧵

I started by watching Ryan Coogler espousing the wonders of different sorts of film footage, I've now randomly booked tickets for the family to see Apollo 13 at the IMAX. This is excellent

Woke up to this email, giving me the opportunity to get in on a developer employment scam; the sort I've read about on Hacker News. I feel like I should be report it somewhere. But where?

Greatly enjoying watching "The Man Who Invented Christmas" and encouraging others to watch with me. To the wife: "It's Downton's Cousin Matthew!" The response: "He ruined Christmas" and away up the stairs

Bumped into my German neighbour. She told me that when she was a little girl, they'd go into the woods on Christmas Eve. They'd cut down a tree and drag it home. Then they would mount lit candles on it and sit back and enjoy it. Health and safety be damned, I want this 🎄🪓🕯️

I know it achieves nothing, but surreptitiously leaving "don't leave London Zipcar" is all the recourse I have

What's the wittiest Christmas dessert? Punettone

It has been two days since I programmed for work. Teams has been closed, Outlook has been closed and shall not be reopened for two weeks. I give myself about 48 hours before I start working on non-work stuff. Know thyself

A sad day - my final @zipcar.bsky.social trip 😭

I couldn't express it better; the grief is real www.irishtimes.com/world/uk/202...

Finally getting into openapi-ts.dev/openapi-fetch/ and it's awesome! However I'm discovering that the default open API schema that ASP.NET surfaces doesn't lend itself to TypeScript client generation. Currently fiddling with schema generators, but I think this is going to end well 🤞

How do you lead 1,000 open source contributors without burnout? @danielroe.dev ( @nuxt.com lead ) shares his playbook: LLM-powered triage, open office hours, and governance with actual checks and balances. New Software is a Team Sport episode 👇 youtu.be/KzRL-b6dXAI

Think I'm quite ill. Finding myself muttering "oh my gosh", needing to pause and support myself on furniture whilst I wait for my eyes to focus again

Technically dawn. Technically

Now at Nantes airport heading home. Tragically foot and mouth disease prohibits transporting my wife's favourite foodstuff rillettes back home. She ate all she could at breakfast and offered the rest to the hotel staff only to discover they were that rarest of Venn diagrams: French and vegetarian

Really good advice from @dylanbeatt.ie ! I would actually add one tip, which is hidden in the first sentence: if you have the chance, host a meetup. It gives you regular practice by doing the event moderation. Further: really helps to build a network outside of your bubble.

After 5 hours of eating cheese and drinking wine with the French relatives there was an emergency: we ran out of bread. Current status: on a boulangerie run in Vertou. Got bonus saucisson as well

A bridge in Nantes. The day is a little grey

In Nantes visiting family. My gosh the French know how to eat. I've only had breakfast and now I need a little lie down

Went to my boy's end of year school concert. So heartwarming hearing them all sing. He was part of a barbershop choir singing Britney Spears' "Toxic". At the end the Head of Music gave a moving speech about the community of music and being part of a bigger thing. Not a dry eye in the house ❤️

ESLint lost 1/3 of its sponsorships in 2025 while downloads are up 62%. If every company where ESLint is used donated just $100/month, we'd have more than enough. Please talk to your manager about sponsoring ESLint: https://eslint.org/donate

Saw my son's school production last night; a well done but surprisingly harrowing Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Proud but stunned parents could be heard mulling afterwards what next Christmasses production might be. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest perhaps?"

The Reilly family Christmas tree is decorated! 🎄

Migrating from Swashbuckle to .NET Open API support has been good. The type information surfaced is better; less `string | undefined`, more `string` when it comes to codegenning a TS client. Generation of the Open API document at build time is hard work though learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet...

How awesome to be featured in @typescript.fm !

Community Highlights ✨ - @johnnyreilly.com shares how to build statically typed CLI commands with yargs - @hongminhee.hollo.social.ap.brid.gy announces Optique 0.7.0 for type-safe CLIs - @brad.zacher.com.au on isolated declaration perf - @softwaredaily.bsky.social ep on Doom in TypeScript

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...

@thameswater.bsky.social this leak on Amyand Park Road in Twickenham has been disgorging water for a week now. There's more than 10 reports of it. Fancy fixing it? www.thameswater.co.uk/help/report-...

Gosh the nights are long now

Nooooooooooooo!!!!! @zipcar.bsky.social you can't leave!

@profanity.accountant what will you tell me? I have posted when fixing CI so all bets are off

If you're using Yargs (and on older projects that's pretty common) and want to statically type your builder commands, here's how: johnnyreilly.com/yargs-static...

The therapy that simply getting out for a walk is tremendous. This week packed in much unnecessary drama and curved balls. I awoke feeling a little unjolly. But now I've walked around the river, and turned things over in my head, I'm feeling much better! Walking is brilliant.

Christmas decorations are appearing in Richmond! 🎄🦌

If this PR lands, then Open API TypeScript clients generated with NSwag will be compatible in a Browser context *and* a Node.js context. A tiny change with massive utility. (You can make it work now by adding "DOM" to `lib` in tsconfig.json but it's a hack) github.com/RicoSuter/NS...
