I would really appreciate a job since I have about 30 days left to survive. Nothing has worked out for a while now. Been living in hostels in SE Asia for over a year. Full stack js, Staff Engineer or PM, react, astro. Many senior positions, consulted for Apple Wireless on their data dashboards, etc

🚨 Solid 2.0 has reached Release Candidate! 🎉🥳 Async is first-class — computations return promises, the graph suspends and resumes itself. Plus optimistic mutations and a reactive core rebuilt from scratch. The Big Reveal 👇 www.solidjs.com/blog/solid-2... 1/3

We built a Playwright pipeline to auto-generate 585 product screenshots. Then I opened the output folder and accidentally discovered the best design QA tool I've ever used: just… looking at all of them at once. calibreapp.com/blog/screens...

If AI is writing software from now on, to any meaningful degree, React should be absolutely dead. The *only* benefit of React was that most human engineers already knew it. It's the worst choice in literally every other way. If humans aren't writing your code, your code shouldn't be in React.

Josh's interview was AWESOME! One big thing that I took away from his interview section was to build automations to simplify my life. I also loved how he thought about performance optimization while writing code. Check it out youtu.be/RSFDHyOt7R4

I’m in @shrutikapoor08.bsky.social’s latest video! It’s a super cool concept: me and @kevinpowell.co were both given the same technical interview challenge. We were tasked with building a carousel in 30 minutes, in a mock interview setting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSFD...

I’m not a big user of BlueSky (yet), but if anyone sees this I’m looking for work. I’m a front-end developer, with a focus on low-carbon, design-led, accessible, websites — often using Astro and headless CMSs like Storyblok. I’m open to freelance or possibly the right perm role 🤞

Great thread to get you caught up on CSS Layers

Stephen Margheim@fractaledmind.bsky.social

CSS cascade layers are the most underrated feature of modern CSS. They're why semantic classes work now when they failed before. Here's the 2-minute explanation:

Hello there! If you and your team are looking to level-up your Design System by introducing a bespoke Design Tokens workflow, I have availability in January. Let's talk! 🙏🖤

🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people. 🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event! 💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work. If you have a similar background to me, this article is your shortcut to more intentional programming.

The majority of us are a bunch of self taught people with rather spotty knowledge and that's fine! Kilian (also self taught) is here to share some of the computer science fundamentals you probably are missing with the aim to improve your code in the long term. piccalil.li/blog/program...

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

What happens when you run React Server Components on a custom Rust runtime instead of Node.js? 4x faster rendering, 10k+ req/sec, sub-50ms P99 latency. Same JSX, same component patterns. Zero Rust knowledge needed. The runtime does the heavy lifting, you write the React.

Hey Bluesky friends, good news! 📣 Starting next week I’ll be available to take on a new project. Anything frontend that could use a creative touch. Development, consulting, and anything in between. Happy to chat if you have something interesting. Shares would be appreciated! 🙏

Great read especially for non-Americans about the state of the US

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now
