CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

🙋‍♂️ so, what are the git forges you are using - or want to be using? asking for … reasons. (would appreciate sharing for reach)

WHAT. A. CONFERENCE. 💛 It’s been a couple of weeks, and we’re still recovering from the high from our first ZurichJS Conf edition. With our dopamine resets comes a time for reflection and starting to plan the very loudly requested second edition.

Just watched the video by @kevinpowell.co about AI impact on our jobs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aW7... I feel like many of us might be having "AI burnout" - a new type of burnout that we in software industry didn't see before. The analogy of moving from hand-crafted to conveyor belts seems right.

Waking up 5:40 with no alarm is peak 30s performance in my book😅 Means I did it right to fall asleep when I should and that it's consistent enough that I can wake up naturally. Some wins feel different😁

Among others, 10 things I also can't stand 🥲 hereticpleb.vercel.app/blog/10-tell...

I just scored 49,308 on a game of at://2048 with a starting seed of 1402372882. Think you can do better with this exact same seed? Try it out here 2048.blue/seed/1402372... @2048.blue Thanks for getting me to waste time @danielroe.dev 😅

Highest rated talk in the CFP on stage right now @zurichjs.com Daniel Noel Davies 🔥

Still can't believe this is finally happening🥹 @zurichjs.com

Noticed in the train today with almost no reception: You have stale data and a small loading signifier Then you catch a tiny bit of a connection... The data you saw refreshes You assume it's all good Then full signal kicks in. Turns out that refresh.. was also stale 🫠

Having the frontier LLM providers down today came with a measure of frustration which then shortly turned into joy. Also great to get validation for doing hybrid AI work where i purposefully pick handcoding certain tasks and offloading others. No-AI days pay off when there's no AI

Today I left home at 05:30 and the sky full of stars hit me like a ton of bricks Not even close to the first time leaving this early, which is why it's so... sad to realize I've been so caught up... I didn't even look up in the morning. Conf organizing is a lot of work next to a day job 🫠

🇨🇭 ZurichJs Conf will be the event of the year for me. I cannot tell you how stoked I am to be there next week. Also, I will bring a surprise gift, so come say hi and ask me about it 🙌

If you’ve ever built a rich text editing experience, chances are you’ve come across @tiptap.dev. Open source, developer-first and built to give developers the freedom to create. That’s exactly the kind of work we love seeing in the JS ecosystem. Thank you, Tiptap, for supporting conf.zurichjs.com!

Most of us know, open source is about more than code. It’s about people helping and supporting people. Few embody that better than @santoshyadav.dev. His journey through life is remarkable, but so is how much he gives back to OSS. We’re very happy to have him as a panellist at @zurichjs.com Conf 💛

We have some of the best hoomans at the conf 💛

Some say @wts.rocks is why @zurichjs.com conf even exists 👀

It's Carmeeeen! 🫶

Building apps with lots of data? There’s a good chance you’ve used @ag-grid.bsky.social. What we find genuinely cool is that they started as an open-source project and have stayed true to that developer-first mindset. Thanks for supporting ZurichJS Conf as a Platinum Sponsor! 💛

🇨🇭 Schöne 1. August • Bonne Fête Nationale • Buona Festa Nazionale! 🇨🇭 Zur Fiiir vom Tag gits hüt 20% Rabatt mit SWISSNATIONALDAY. Mir hoffet, du nutzisch es! Und als Extra: CHF 50 uf dis erschte Workshop-Ticket mit CH_WORKSHOP + 3 VIP-Tickets.

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

For my network here: Know of any sponsors you'd love to see at the conf? Or companies that would vibe with what we've doing at @zurichjs.com? Would be nice to have some personal recommendations from awesome humans 🫶

Yayyyyy @leichteckig.bsky.social !

So much effort goes into keeping price down, especially considering Swiss prices for catering and co. But we're non profit, so we have no salaries to pay🙃 Best thing that can happen is to have you join and have a great time🫶

We found our speaker dinner venue for @zurichjs.com Conf!

Time flies! Less than 2 months now before @zurichjs.com where I'll be trying to convince a bunch of JS devs that CSS is pretty awesome 😅 Lots of other amazing speakers as well, and there are still tickets available and only 3 days left until the price goes up! conf.zurichjs.com#tickets

This week’s meetup was such good vibes! Last one before conference week events in Sept!

Ready for another speaker? Welcome @danieljcafonso.bsky.social! Senior Developer Advocate at @pagerduty.bsky.social, @solidjs.com DX team member, @egghead.io instructor, React Query author and @jnationconf.bsky.social organiser. One of the kindest and most approachable people you’ll meet in tech.

Daniel Noel-Davies is coming to ZurichJS Conf. Founder of Pokélink, Principal Engineer & builder of one of the most unique OSS projects around. From game memory scanning & TypeScript-to-Lua transpilation to CQRS and distributed systems, Daniel loves solving problems most of us never even encounter.

I KNOW THIS DUDE 😅

Looking for an extra excuse to join the conf? Shoot us an email if we can sweeten the deal for you, we're happy to support health+learning

Ok folks I have an announcement to make I am coming to @zurichjs.com, I will be attending in-person, so excited to meet everyone 🤗

TypeScript 7.0 is out 🎉 It's the 10x faster Go-based port 🔥 🔷 `tsc6` is for side-by-side API access 🔷 --checkers sets checker thread count 🔷 --singleThreaded keeps parsing/emit/checking together 🔷 TS 6.0 deprecations are hard errors 🔷 API access is planned for TS 7.1

So happy to have @debbie.codes joining us this September 💛 Platform Engineer doing Applied AI at Zephyr Cloud, ex-Microsoft Playwright wizard, and just genuinely one of the good ones in this community. Come say hi and catch her talk!

I will be giving a talk at the @zurichjs.com pre-conf warm-up meetup about my experience of being a maintainer of Babel 🎉 It'll be on the Wednesday before the conference: see you all either there or at the conf :) And if anybody is getting a conf ticket, I have a 10% discount I can share in DM.

If you're a 2026 grad, you can win a ticket to ZurichJS Conf 2026! 💛 @namespacelabs.com is giving students a chance to turn a side project you're proud of into a conference seat. Submit by July 19. More details and the submission form 👉 conf.zurichjs.com/namespace We 🫶 sponsors that care!

Last month at JSNation, ZurichJS received the Global Community of the Year award for highest impact at the OSS Awards, the next person I want to speak about is Colin, because some people become part of a community long before there is any official title for what they are doing.

@acemarke.dev is coming to Zurich 💙 Redux maintainer, React educator, and one of the most thoughtful voices in our community. Whether it's React internals, architecture, performance, or AI-powered debugging, Mark loves a great question. Bring yours to ZurichJS Conf!

Huge gratitude to @nadja-hesselbjerg.bsky.social for making @zurichjs.com into what it is today

This month at JSNation, ZurichJS received the Global Community of the Year award for highest impact at the OSS Awards, and while that recognition still feels surreal, an award can only capture the outcome, not the unpaid care, time, and heart behind it.

I met @atila.io a year ago at I/O Connect and then again at WTS. He's such a good energy bundle ♥️ can't wait for y'all to meet at @zurichjs.com conf💛

The best conferences are the ones you would happily pay for out of your own pocket. I’ve followed @farisaziz.com work and collaborated with him long enough to know that @zurichjs.com will be worth every penny. So I just got my ticket. Any internet friends joining us on September 11?

Last week, @zurichjs.com won the highest impact community globally award at the OSS Awards during @jsnation.gitnation.org. What was so cool is that @tolin.ski was there to share the moment and will be speaking at our conference this year. 583 days ago was our first meetup. Less than two years.

Tired: This is the hottest June of the last decade 🥵 Inspired: This is the coolest June of the next decade 😎
