Ever wonder how much of modern @nodejs.org actually came from Deno? Luca and I did a whole session on it: the ideas, the features, and the friendly competition between the two runtimes. A really great conversation about how open source pushes each other forward.

Watching all the CVEs roll in....

Did you know that Node.js now has an integrated (experimental) benchmark runner? nodejs.org/docs/latest/...

Seeing this graph pattern a lot lately

I am planning to publish a @deno/doc (or @jsr/doc) cli to JSR, as JSR will continue to exist and as such any important crates related to it will have to be kept alive.

I mean, it's great to see the positive sentiment about Deno... but it *is* an open source project. It's not going away, it's just that the team that's been working on it will be doing other stuff. The ecosystem can easily pick it up and run with it.

Obviously I think Workers are the ideal migration target, but @netlify.com is a solid choice also. Options are good.

On-demand CPU and memory profiling for Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects is now available. Now you can generate interactive flamegraphs directly in production to quickly track down memory leaks and performance bottlenecks. https://cfl.re/3VZaOEd

One thing I'm hoping to come out of this is that Deno... or at least a derivative of it, is picked up by someone in the ecosystem and continued. We need choice and diversity in the ecosystem.

RIP to the world's first software engineer news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Companies have a deep rooted *obligation* to invest in human development and connection more than they do in AI development. Companies that fail to do so will ultimately not survive whatever we historically end up calling this transitional period we find ourselves in right now.

Had a few people ask about my new tattoo last week at NodeConf.eu. It's simple but meaningful to me. The "stars" are mini Node.js hexagons. The lines connecting them represent the people I've connected with through OSS. The intentional flaws in it represent how delightfully imperfect OSS can be.

The only correct response.

My biggest takeaway from the week in Italy is that Duolingo absolutely does not properly prepare you for a week in Italy. Devo studiare meglio! Quando provo ad aprire bocca per parlare italiano, il cervello mi si spegne 😭

@github.com @microsoft.com if you want to make a material improvement to agentic coding workflow in open source. This is it.

Would really love for GitHub to enable stacked PRs from a fork. It would help so very much.

@nodeconf.eu in Italy was remarkably successful. Absolutely wonderful week surrounded by great friends and open source colleagues, fantastic conversations, beautiful cities. And the best news? We get to do it all again next year. Should be announcing plans soon.
