Hugo

This fix for an O(n^2) -> O(n) is just moving a reduce() out of a map(), but it took years to diagnose (thanks to showsubmit.com for being the reproduction case).

Fed a repro into a coding agent (Jules) and it actually fixed the underlying bug Can we make a plan to solve it but in a way that i can take over from Jules if you cant solve it? (So probably include a reproduction, make sure it fails eg. automation tests, submit that code, then try to fix it)

I've aggregated some more advanced/non-obvioud TypeScript patterns in this new posts codewithhugo.com/typescript-t...

Was struggling to find a free product screenshot generator for Alpine Devtools Chrome extension For the Chrome Webstore you need to capture 1280x800 and I'm just not that accurate with drag and drop screenshot.rocks seems to do the basics of what I need (browser frame config, padding/background)

Interesting concept of a minimalist blog ostwilkens.se/blog/setting... To be honest for alpinedevtools.com/updates I went even further: use .md files and generate the HTML using the VSCode Markdown All In One plugin.

Trying something new (or maybe reviving an old project) I was part of the original crew that worked on Alpine devtools. Chrome has obsoleted the extension (granted, it has had no updates since Sept 24) with Manifest v3

Been trying to get my first newsletter issue in a while sent out, more on that at the end of the thread A lot has happened since I was regularly sending this out. I'm intending for it to still a place to learn about JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js in the real world.

I'm changing jobs in the new year so there may be a set of new posts about what the job search was like this time round Buttondown, which powers the newsletter has changed pricing tiers (stopping my send) and UI (hiding away a setting Ineed to toggle) let's see when the newsletter makes it out.

As I look forward to 2025, here's some recent things I've been up to: Published JavaScript Design Patterns with Packt: www.amazon.co.uk/Javascript-D... My take on design patterns in JS (you can, but should you?). As well as other types of patterns in architecture and building JS applications

Been playing with simple web components recently for some codewithhugo.com pages Found it a bit painful to do templating (`.innerHTML` or `.appendChild` friendly options) Open sourced 2 utils that I couldn't find a lightweight existing package for (`lit-html` seems heavy handed in this case)

`html-esc`: A template literal tag which escapes interpolated values github.com/HugoDF/html-... `render-tmpl`: A `<template>` based HTML templating library ("directives" to make it easy to inject values and attributes into your template) github.com/HugoDF/rende...

An example of Hyrum's law in JavaScript I encountered this week (or is it?) A `divide(numA, numB)` function implemented partial application `if (numB == null) return n => divide(numA, n)`
