Introducing TanStack Redact ๐ŸŒด A smaller runtime for your existing React app. Add it to your build config and ship less JavaScript without changing a single line of application code. Works with TanStack Start, Vite, Vinext, and Next.js. tanstack.com/redact

So its goodbye San Fransisco after a slightly unreal week in Silicon Valley. Last year I lost my father Tim Pollard to cancer. He was many things, Robin Hood, an omni nerd, a sci-fi buff, avid collector and gadget addict. We shared that love of science fiction and futurism.

Now Iโ€™m visiting it for the first time, as much more a part of this industry than I ever knew I would be and in some ways building out a future I donโ€™t think my Dad could have believed. I really do hope that I can hold to some of what made that future feel bright and aspirational

So its goodbye San Fransisco after a slightly unreal week in Silicon Valley. Last year I lost my father Tim Pollard to cancer. He was many things, Robin Hood, an omni nerd, a sci-fi buff, avid collector and gadget addict. We shared that love of science fiction and futurism.

And San Fransisco was a landmark in the geography of that as the โ€˜futureโ€™ site of the Star fleet Academy of Star Trek fame. It was wear the โ€˜goodโ€™ future would come from. And as I grew up and bought my first Mac that โ€œdesigned by Apple Californiaโ€ became an unmistakable sign this place was special.

this was very good and articulated a lot i've been feeling lately. in formalization, this effect is even more noticeable: decoherence is punished by the agent being stuck in the maze for days when otherwise it would've made progress in 30 minutes but i think this applies broadly to software

Maevyn@maevyn.codes

My thoughts on the current state of AI driven software development, why I'm no longer concerned about a runaway intelligence explosion, and what I think is a far worse outcome we could be walking into maevyn.codes/decoherence

Change my mind: there's no better stack than Vite+ (build/test/lint/fmt), pnpm, and @danielroe.dev's uppt (releases + staged trusted publishing) for developing and safely shipping Node/TS libraries.

Oldie but goodie: Don't listen to users (watch them!). I canโ€™t count the number of times I had to explain this to well-meaning engineers, who thought the way to good UX was asking users what they prefer. www.nngroup.com/articles/fir...

nngroup.comFirst Rule of Usability? Don't Listen to UsersFor good UX, watch what users do, not what they say. Self-reported claims and speculations about future behavior are unreliable. Users do not know what they want.

What do a port of Kubernetes to TypeScript and a high-priority bug in the kubelet have in common? They both feature in @samwho.dev's guide to probing, out now. We're experimenting with what next-generation k8s education looks like, and we hope you love it.

If you use a Logitech mouse and, like me, you don't love the official LogiOptions+, here is a good open-source alternative. openlogi.org I would suggest uninstalling LogiOption+ and its services agent first. That will make your life easier migrating from one to the other. #logitech #mxmaster

The @react.dev compiler landed in Oxc (thanks @boshen.github.io) ๐ŸŽ‰ It is 2x faster than the initial Rust port while being 2x smaller and comes with granular rule support for Oxlint, improved diagnostics messages, and an *optional* transform for @vite.dev (integration with the React plugin pending)

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

Wait, youโ€ฆ use libraries? Code that other people wrote for you? You justโ€ฆ download it? Do you even read the code? Do you not care about the craft, the knowledge that comes from putting in the work yourself? Arenโ€™t you afraid your skills will atrophy?

atproto has one big idea: apps should be lenses rather than boxes this idea is still unknown to majority of internet users. even to the majority of web developers weโ€™re still at a phase where, if you explain it to someone, you can literally see it clicking for them in real time
