Told an LLM what it did is not accessible. It said it's "also weighing Heydon Pickering’s alternative" without me ever mentioning him. Way to go! @heydonworks.com

furifont.antfu.meFurifont: furigana built into the fontA Japanese font that shows furigana by itself.

I want to learn Japanese now because of... a font??

Anthony Fu@antfu.me

Hey Japanese learners! I built a font that renders Furigana or Romaji on top of Kanji, with ligatures to support words. It can be applied everywhere to get furigana notations for free. Give it a try, and I hope it will be helpful :) furifont.antfu.me

Updated my website! New colors, less Javascript, smaller bundle.. But importantly had fun writing code (and blog posts) without AI, and writing some nice surimi Styles. Check it out: Janis.me

Hardware upgrade! Compiling things is fast now. As is switching windows.

Been on nix home-manager and nix-darwin for a long time, and this change felt even better. Managing disks, drivers, themes, compositor, keymaps... all in a central place, synced across all devices. Awesome!

btw the @divriots.com stuff is awesome and should cost thousands of dollars but it's got a free tier. Give them your money.

Like, figma has image-to-design. Claude design has that. And both are MUCH worse.

(I guess it's not an advertised feature and LLMs suck at that)

Wait. When submitting a stack though github cli, it doesn't set the remote tracking branch? I'm sure the cli submits the code via git, since I had to unlock my SSH key. If I had push.autoSetupRemote enabled and gh cli would have chosen a different branch name, I'd have two remote branches?

10 Sept

Like, how does it push via git but not set the tracking branch? Even if that's possible, it doesn't make sense?

18 Sept

Realized now that If you submit a stack, create PRs in the TUI but then pushing fails (e.g SSH keychain not ready) all PR changes are gone.

Now that everyone is moving to stylex I feel like surimi.dev was a good idea after all.

brettcodes.comI'm done using AIWhy I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

13 Aug

Coding used to be my hobby. For a long time now, it's been my job and it's really hard to treat it as a hobby (even with fun side projects). BUT: I feel like "coding without AI" could become my hobby again. I really crave hand-crafting code without AI but that's hard to justify in my day job.

Literally 100% this blog post. Exact order of tools used as well. bsky.app/profile/bell...

Andy Bell@bell.bz

I'm p confident a lot of people will resonate with this brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... We need more perspectives from people with lots of experience as developers!

13 Aug

Love it how Andy posted the same thing the exact same time

In any case, I really need to code without AI more. Even without auto complete. Or else I'll go nuts and my brain will rot.

Anyone feels the same? It sounds like I'm a Taxi driver who also drives race cars for fun? (Or the other way round?)

They also have an SDK, programmable instruments, effects and so much more. Super inspiring! #BTConf

Tangled will take over the world (GitHub). It'll take years but I'm willing to bet on it. I never made that bet on bitbucket, gitlab etc. But I have a feeling. Today vitest overtook jest in weekly downloads. Something I wouldn't have bet on a few years ago xD

zeu@zeu.dev

omg are the rings based on the repo's languages? this is so cute!!!

I mean GitHub but run by nice people and the community, integrated into THE social media network for developers? That's a setup for success.

POV: you discovered docker multi-stage builds

Stuart Robson@sturobson.com

Emptied a variety of antiquities and rarities from one shipping container into two, much smaller, shipping containers.

A couple of years ago that unicorn was considered an Easter egg. Only a handful of people in the company even knew about it. Now it's a meme. And a bad one.

This post is unavailable.

I love that Github is finally building UI features again, but did they have to hire the team that built the AWS web console UI to do it?

I mean. You cannot even re-order your views on the pull request page.

I had so much FOMO about Atmosphere conf. But now that everyone talks about how great it was... yeah no. I missed out. Hope everyone got home safe :) Maybe next time!

p75 and p90 JavaScript bytes on the web have exploded since May, 2025—easily the largest 10 month period based on HTTP Archive data since 2023. The long-tail is getting worse, very quickly. Gemini, what happened in May 2025?

27 Mar

It's super hard to comprehend how big of a deal this is. Everything on the web is so opaque to people, even most "developers" today, it doesn't matter to them. It's "kinda fast" for a single request and "kinda small" as in, not multiple gigabytes. But it's getting worse and worse.

The Cursor editor is getting worse and worse for me over time. I'm discovering more and more bugs every day. And they're all stuff unrelated to Vscode but rather things that seem to be the cursor extensions like agents.

So what do we think about edge.js by wasmer? github.com/wasmerio/edg... Being known as the WASM guy amongst my friends, I'm still a bit skeptical. But if this can evolve into an open source alternative to WebContainers/Nodebox, I'm sold.

Hey @npmx.dev folks! Wondering if the package size badge on npmx considers the size of dependencies that must be installed? E.g does it check the actual install size via bundlejs or similar? (I doubt that but you never know with npmx xD)

17 Mar

E.g for the library pcm-convert: Version 2.0 is a zero-dependency, pure ESM version where the index.js file got larger, but it doesn't require any deps. Yet npmx report the size grew by 200%+. So wondering if that's just measuring the bundled code

The Error code property proposal looks super promising. I wasn't aware just how well aligned the ecosystem is when it comes to error codes. Using instance-type based error classification is more elegant, but not really applicable for Javascript.

15 Mar

The "absent by default" approach is understandable, though personally I would LOVE to suddenly get error codes for all default errors. Not sure if that'd break anything for me, but it sure would for all custom error classes that implement a "code" I guess

Anyone here knowledge in how vite and Vue/nuxt work together that can review a PR? I can donate some money for the effort, but I can't go down a rabbit hole to understand the entire environment API thing with the vue vite plugin.

14 Mar

Specifically custom Vue blocks in SFCs. I'm not really a vue person so that's new territory for me.
