The best job opportunities come through word of mouth 👀

It seems like quite a few people don’t bother going beyond checking ESLint, Prettier, and tests when refactoring with AI 😅

If you have a mature design system, you can pretty much forget about markup nowadays. — your capt’n 🤠

@frank.computer shares ideas that resonate surprisingly well with coding. Much of today's focus on speed seems to be driven by the feeling of progress rather than progress itself. 🙃 www.frank.computer/blog/2026/03...

A11y reaches a whole new level… even machines care about it now 🤖

When was the last time you used a search engine instead of a chatbot? 🤔

“If you’re feeling a little lost, I hope you feel some sense of solace in the fact that even Andrej Karpathy feels a little lost” Thanks bro, now I feel much better 🤣 youtu.be/ZugX7a99dLk?...

At least we still have something AI giants can’t take from us… wonder if the market still needs it 🤔 cekrem.github.io/posts/the-ta...

Readers spotted that compression was not applied consistently in our React SSR benchmarks. TanStack Start had it disabled while the others had it on. We disabled compression everywhere and re-ran the tests. Here are the corrected results.

Finally, TanStack Start now supports React Server Components! Start's RSCs are a truly fetchable, cacheable and composable primitive that work with your favorite tools instead of dictating your entire architecture. Oh, and one more thing... "Composite Components" 😉 tanstack.com/blog/react-s...

All my personal projects eventually drown in analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, and bikeshedding… is there a way to bypass it? 🤠

Trivia question - how many errors are reported by TS here? (:

I'm often asked why you would use a JS library like React Aria for modals instead of the HTML <dialog> element, so I wrote up a detailed response. One of the main features of <dialog> (top layer) is also one of its weaknesses. github.com/adobe/react-...

It took a while, but the State of JS 2025 survey results are now live! 2025.stateofjs.com/en-US Thanks to @danielroe.dev for contributing the conclusion.

The #JS utility you never knew you needed 😂 Create multiple Symbols in one go with this Proxy-based one liner.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Do you find “merging PR without review” to be a sign that a team is going in the wrong direction? 😅

Does Temporal have the same issues? 🤔

that’s a clever idea to use Proxy for UI updates, but in my humble opinion, using Observable gives you more flexibility 🤔 www.lorenstew.art/blog/reactiv...

A sad but true story — so many ideas have drowned in the sea of overthinking 🥲🫠 maalvika.substack.com/p/being-too-...

LeetCode’s runtime and memory usage rankings feel like rolling dice — one run you’re a genius, next run you’re a disaster 🤠🎲 #leetcode

what’s wrong with this code: if (props.wrap) { return ( <Wrapper> {children} </Wrapper> ) } return children

The suspension of my Claude account got me thinking — if you rely solely on vibe coding, one day you might lose your vibe, meaning you’ll need to learn how to cast programming magic the old-fashioned way. So maybe the future isn’t as dark as people keep saying on every corner. 🤠 #ai #vibecoding
