New version of ts-loader published which will hopefully deal with some TS v6 issues. Had to migrate to npm trusted publishing to ship this. Wow the DX on trusted publishing could be improved. Tell me why it won't publish! Don't leave me to guess and read blog posts github.com/TypeStrong/t...

Along with the blog post there's a recording of the interview. Listen to the full interview OR the last 10 minutes (linked). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWx...

years ago I had this really uncomfortable moment where someone called me out for being so negative & suggested I could maybe have a vastly different experience if I focused my attention on different things I made a silly-feeling change & it literally made me into a different person in the best way

“Sentry is one of the few vendors that systematically maps its dependency tree and then actually cuts checks to the people maintaining that stack, as opposed to just talking about ‘giving back.’” He's not wrong, you know. www.theregister.com/2026/03/25/o...

📢 Last chance! Today's the deadline to have your say on the consultation to grant bathing water status along the River Thames at Ham & Kingston. Read my letter here tinyurl.com/4bvwaa8t & respond to the consultation here tinyurl.com/2nn5jc5a

Somewhere out there is dawn

Completed my post on migrating to Node.js subpaths, enforcing adoption and beauty. I remain on the fence about whether this is a good idea. I'm going to keep mulling it, but I'm probably not going to adopt this for now. Very interesting though

Dawn is a lot less magnificent today

Currently writing a blog post on an approach I think is cool, but maybe not wise. Enforcing subpath imports in Node.js codebase. Going to write it anyway whilst I mull my opinion

One week left to have your say on the consultation to grant bathing water status along our stretch of the Thames. Make sure to have your say by 23 March here:

A bench next to where I take my morning photo. I love the message ❤️

An incredibly red dawn this morning!

Had a lovely telephone interaction with a man called Andrew who had an incredibly strong Scouse accent. At the end of the call I was asked if I had any questions. Deeply regret not asking "are you EsDeeKid?"

JavaScript's new Date-Time API was standardized two days ago 🎉 Here's an interview with @ptomato.name @jason-williams.co.uk & Andrew Paprocki on the creation of Temporal 📮 www.bloomberg.com/company/stor...

The Temporal proposal, co-championed by Igalia, advances to Stage 4 at TC39 — replacing JavaScript's Date API after nine years of work. Congratulations to everyone involved! Here's to better date-time handling on the web and beyond. www.igalia.com/2026/03/13/T...

A stunning morning 🌅

Considering migrating a CLI tool I work on to Node.js subpaths. So all my imports would become fully qualified; `#src/path/is/fully/qualified`. Reason: as I move files around in the codebase the imports remain stable. I see little use of subpaths though - are there any reasons to avoid?

⚡️ Vite 8.0 is here! The most significant architectural change since Vite 2. ⏬ Powered by @rolldown.rs bringing faster production builds and more consistency 🛤️ New features such as tsconfig paths and emitDecoratorMetadata support vite.dev/blog/announc...

Source maps are a vital part of modern web development, but the lack of a standard made it impossible for us to add new features or improve the debugging experience. This is the story of how we standardized source maps and how we continue to ship features through standards 📜 🧵

📮 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

Look closely and you'll see sleeping 🦢

Some time ago, @jonkuperman.com & @tchetwin.bsky.social had a dream for the JS engineers at Bloomberg to be more public about the cool JS work we have going on. That dream has come true - now we have a blog platform 🎉 (You'll see more articles over the next few days) bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/

Leaves opening on my pear tree! 🍐

have been procrastinating forever on building a little OSS project. thought I'd do an experiment and see if I could prompt my way to it since I appear to be incapable of starting it by hand. early days but things are happening...

@johnnyreilly.com > I'm writing as I'm excited by npmx; I really want it to succeed. So I thought I'd share my own mini story of npmx. If you walk away from this post with one thought I hope it's this: "npmx is a welcoming community, doing good work and very open to contributions, however minor" 💯

I love how @npmx.dev surfaces potential @e18e.dev dependency improvements. From a package you are at replacement docs in only 2 tiny clicks!
