I have to say it… I miss Blockbuster.

OpenAI will never get dollar out of me.

"Bugonia" is one of the most amazingly bizarre movies I've seen in years.

Pretty stoked for an evening of music! This is my son’s first time and my second time. #finalfantasy

Nice to see node-gyp@12.1.0 with support Visual Studio 2026 #nodejs

Today on the pod, Node 24 goes LTS, Nuxt Image V2 brings TS goodies, and Anders shares insights on TypeScript's AI era rise. Plus community takes on engineering practices! share.transistor.fm/s/b87c759b #typescript

Vitest 4 is out! The added support for spying on classes and that sounds pretty neat. The only problem is they dropped support for Node.js 18. It uses 'node:inspector/promises' which was introduced in Node.js 19. So I guess I have to remove Node 18 from my CI matrix?

If you think npm's architecture is good, go watch @darcyclarke.me's talk. The dependency graph is complex and @vlt.sh is reinventing it in a smart and unique way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8nG...

✅Announcing Vitest 4.0 ✅ Our latest Vitest update brings Browser Mode to stable, allowing you to test your UI in real browsers like Chrome. Also new: - Visual Regression Testing to catch unintended UI changes - Playwright Trace support for easier debugging voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

Yo! SnoopLogg 6.1.1 is out with support for log level filtering! const logger = new SnoopLogg({ logLevel: 'info' }); Show some love and drop a star: github.com/cb1kenobi/sn...

Yo! Did you hear? SnoopLogg has been receiving a lot of love from the homies at the @typescript.fm, check 'em out!

I would love to go to Tokyo, but I'd love it even more if someone hacked together something super cool in Harper and took the prize! Let's go! #javascript #nodejs

Yo, did you hear, the new SnoopLogg just dropped! v6.0.3 with official support for Deno and uses @rolldown.rs to speed up bundling by 8x and reduce ESM bundle size by 2%. Check it: www.npmjs.com/package/snoo... #nodejs #typescript #javascript

Titanium SDK is officially on Bluesky! For those of you that have never heard of us, Titanium allows you to build native iOS and Android apps using JavaScript! Real native apps, not a webview. We're open source and just celebrated 15 years. Check us out: titaniumsdk.com

Node.js You Don't Need a Dependency Slides for my @jsconf.bsky.social talk are up. Thanks to everyone for listening and the many great conversations after! noti.st/brianmuenzen... #nodejs #jsconf #opensource

One of my favorite pictures from JSConf is the three Chris/Kris’s @voodootikigod.bsky.social @kriszyp.bsky.social #jsconf

My friend @brianmuenzenmeyer.com wrote a book about the world of open source! Take a sec and check it out: approachableopensource.com

JSConf isn’t just about JavaScript, but the friends we make along the way. #jsconf

It just wouldn’t have been a JSConf without Ethan Arrowood and @ruyadorno.com. The work they do for the Node.js world is appreciated. #jsconf

🎉 Congrats to Ethan Arrowood for winning the Leading by Example JavaScriptLandia Award from the @openjsf at #JSConf 2025! Ethan’s impact spans the JS ecosystem — from @nodejs, Undici, and WinterCG to his leadership within OpenJS and contributions to Harper’s open-source efforts. 👉 buff.ly/YnbgF5o

We 💙 our friends at @harperfast.bsky.social!

Huge thanks to the @vlt.sh team for building something new and refreshing in the world of package managers and taunting me with LEGO to try it out. Join me and check them out: www.vlt.sh

Ezekiel Keator giving a great talk about feature flags! Check him out: ezstack.dev #jsconf

Here are the slides for my Node.js year in review talk: speakerdeck.com/ruyadorno/no... #nodejs #javascript #JSConf

@vlt.sh Yo! Building my next projects with vlt!

The weather is amazing! Perfect for a little mini golf! #jsconf

Behold, the infamous $29 nachos! #jsconf #hyatt

Bryan Hughes talking about JavaScript performance. C is really fast compared to JS, followed closely by Rust. Just learned Rust has a swap operation, but it’s slow? #jsconf

Finally get to meet my good friend and AST parsing guru, @pvdz.ee!

Harper crew at JSConf 2025! #jsconf

The one, the only, Dr. Hughes!

Yippee yo, yippee yah, today I’m thrilled to announce the maintenance release of the most badass debug logger for Node.js: SnoopLogg! www.npmjs.com/package/snoo... #jsconf

Hello from JSConf! #jsconf

Lit is joining the OpenJS Foundation. Apparently it’s the 5th most popular framework on npm? Does anyone actually use it? #jsconf

I’m not sure who puts on a better show: Sleep Token or the fans. I’ve never been to a concert before where nearly everyone sang every word to every song. #sleeptoken

Ported my website, chrisbarber.dev, from SvelteKit back to Next.js. Now I have a comfortable base to work with. I'd like to add a blog of sorts. I have hundreds of posts over the past 20 years sitting in MySQL backups.
