It took almost 100 hours of Claude 3.7 Sonnet usage (via Sourcegraph Cody) for me to finally see it hallucinate. I almost forget that's a thing.

I just realized we can finally deprecate the ecdsa.PublicKey X and Y big.Int fields once NewPublicKey and PublicKey.Bytes land! If you use them for ECDSA or ECDH and can't migrate to NewPublicKey/Bytes or crypto/ecdh, now is the time to let us know. (If you use them for exotic things, use nistec.)

Gemini 2.0 Flash is comically bad compared to Claude. Don't believe the type, 3.5 Sonnet is still the best at coding.

The hardest choice you have to make when building in TypeScript is Bun @bun.sh or Deno @deno.land and honestly feels like you can't lose at this point

Introducing Bun 1.2 bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.2

10 years from now TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, & Kubernetes expertise will absolutely still be in high demand and used by successful tech companies. Why? They've already been around for at least as long (except Tailwind at '17) and keep growing/improving.

Vite 6.0.9 / 5.4.12 / 4.5.6 has been released with *breaking changes* due to security issues. I recommend upgrading it. Some users may need to update the config options. Please check github.com/vitejs/vite/... if you encountered any errors.

Conform, a client + server form validation library, which can use Zod/Yup/etc for validation schemas - definitely best option out there IMO for building forms in Remix/React Router 7. Nice work @edmundhung.bsky.social !

JSONC is one of the best configuration formats out there. I wish more tools supported it. Maybe someone needs to make it an official standard / write an RFC for it? Given the level of awareness and usage you would think Microsoft's node-jsonc-parser GitHub repo would have more ⭐

The Remix / React Router decision doc for Type Inference (#0012) is a fantastic example of the utility of decision docs. My favourite part is that they not only explored how others did things, but actively acknowledged when they were able to leverage the learnings. github.com/remix-run/re...

Here's what I'm most excited about in the Remix/React Router roadmap: Middleware, coming soon!

I am convinced 99% of websites should use magic links + passkeys. It bypasses all (debatable) portability objections to passkeys, it’s at least as secure as email-based recovery, as fast as a password manager, it’s available to all users… and importantly, no passwords!

We’ve been working on making the new Model Context Protocol from @anthropic.com *really* easy to build against 👷

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has reached out and asked for an extension to respond to the JavaScript trademark cancellation petition. We've agreed to a 30 day extension - Feb 3.

We just shipped React Router v7.1.0 which now support Vite 6 We also fixed a number of bugs and annoying dev behaviors. Checkout the changelog for more details We look forward to bringing you many more great updates in the new year! github.com/remix-run/re...

Latest SlateDB RFC surveys what SQLite, PostgreSQL, RocksDB, Pebble, and TigerBeetle do with file corruption. TIL: - SQLite silently skips corrupt WAL frames - PG doesn't preform checksum on reads from disk by default - RocksDB/Pebble truncate all subsequent WAL entries when a corrupt WAL is found

A helpful practice for designing dev tools with a nice DX is to write the documentation *before* building them. If I can't write succinct, clear docs which make the tool seem easy to use, I iterate on the design until it feels right.

Amazon’s latest container service. It can’t run your docker containers but it will deploy inventory to the nearest packer. AWS #reinvent Amazon fulfilment centre tour was super interesting.

People really love their dark mode huh 😂

Excellent post for any PostgreSQL users out there!

The best way to introduce your kids to Open Source is with these amazing #CloudNative @cncf.io swag items from #reinvent 👌 Although I may need another for my desk!

I’m literally here all week (AWS Re:invent) for the terrible puns. Find me and I’ll deploy a fresh pun for you. I can guarantee it won’t be good! Smile. #reinvent #reinvent2024

Did AWS just “reinvent” GKE Autopilot with EKS Auto Mode?

Being able to clone developer docs and run the sites locally is a huge win for international flights with limited/no wi-fi!

Cloudflare Workers now supports 3MB files (instead of 1MB) in the free tier! Also a neat thing about the Cloudflare docs is you can watch the changes in Github e.g. github.com/cloudflare/c...

I posted the exact same question on Threads, X and Bluesky, asking what IDEs devs liked the most. Despite having 10x as many "followers" on X, Bluesky, and a similar one on Threads, Bluesky is most definitely where the most humans respond to a technical post. I love it here!

Built in collaboration with @anthropic.com, it is now possible to create tools that can provide context to AI models wherever you need it, whether that be in Claude Desktop, in Zed AI Assistant or in your own apps. We're excited to see what you can build! zed.dev/blog/mcp

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle. We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal. It's time to #FreeJavaScript. deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

My advice to folks new to building software: simple solutions are better if they still meet the requirements - and usually when you see unnecessary complexity it's there because of a lack of time, understanding, or craft, not because the author was some "genius". Necessary complexity is not common.

If you thought RSCs were too complicated to be worth it, give them another look when they land in React Router.

One of the (rare) success stories of the web. 🧡 It's the 10th anniversary of Let's Encrypt! 🎉 letsencrypt.org/2014/11/18/a... #webDev #SSL

Linear is a startup punching well above its weight in the speed&quality of shipping, supporting a large number of customers (10,000+ co's) with a small team (25 devs). I sat down with Linear's first engineering manager, Sabin Roman. Our discussion: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/linear-mov...

If you really care about productivity, why aren't you examining the value of mandatory code review? I know this is my least popular take, but it remains unclear to me that it improves quality commensurate to cost, and it's the most unquestioned shibboleth in tech today

🥳 It's time to party! We have announcements, blog posts, videos, and livestreams scheduled throughout the week. ⚡ And we're getting things started today with an SDK 52 Highlight video: youtu.be/quZv3uKSEfY?...
