Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@kettanaito.com any thoughts on the best way to test async React Server Components these days? I know Vitest Browser Mode may not make sense for this (as tests run in browser). It'd be a shame to need separate tools just for RSCs though. Here's what I currently have: gist.github.com/aaronmcadam/...

Man, the upcoming network source architecture in MSW is so good. Everything has its own place. Everything is extensible. Your network, your rules (sounds like a freaking footwear slogan but whatever).

I can hardly believe the day has come, but I’m beyond thrilled to say that my new book is out! In theory, if you walk into a bookstore today, you should be able to buy or a least order Fine Specimens. Just published a post on the blog about the book, the book tour, and the book tour newsletter:

There’s few folks as reliable, thoughtful, and no-nonsense as @bell.bz. I’ve known him a long time and I don’t endorse people lightly. If you’re looking for a studio/agency to get your project going, I couldn’t recommend Set.Studio enough: set.studio

I think it's been proven time and time again that people only care about things when they have to pay for them. They'll eat the slop if it's free.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

This isn't even "UX vs UI". It's "the purpose of the fucking thing" vs "it sounded cool in a stakeholder meeting"

the more you learn about genAI, the less likely you're to use it!!! www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a... I've repeatedly said in the past that meaningful change to the current disastrous reality is via combating big tech narrative & rhetoric and critical public awareness, which enables refusal/resistance

Hey Artem, curious if you ever get around to this one? If so, how did it go?

he says this cause he is more than ever reliant on AI usage for profitability; it seems that he needs shame people into using AI cause otherwise he won’t have *his* career

With the support for custom events, this library has finally become what I think type-safe event emitter should've always been in TypeScript. Check this out. github.com/kettanaito/...

Build. Measure. Learn. Long ago, the three phases lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the feature factory attacked. Only the Product Manager, master of all three phases, could stop it. But when the world needed him most, he was double-booked.

he's become a crybully basically "if I cry everybody thinks what I say is realer" manhood is broken, manhood is fundamentally broken. he's literally saying nothing: he's dancing around topics and avoiding real things he's cosplaying; he's cosplaying as meaningful And its very tragic
