Man why are all these well-loved tech companies so desperate to give their money to Mr Kill All Immigrants in exchange for his dotfiles

Once again, this is not an important question, nor does answering it tell you anything about any useful moral question

Last day to pre-order @grimalkina.bsky.social's psychology of software teams. Based on the sneaks already think this will be a must have tome for software folk. www.routledge.com/The-Psycholo...

In @npmx.dev you can now view a package's changelogs currently only package's that use Github to host their releases or changelog.md are supported but support for others are planned

> In my experience, this argument missed another fundamental building block of learning software development - trial and error.

He explains why here, if any of you are interested. It is exactly what trans people have been saying the entire time.

its great seeing npmx as an output for a lot of the data and tools we have inside e18e visibility of these things goes a long way to helping the wider community improve their own projects very nice having a place to output this npmx 🤝 e18e💙

Comedian @karpi.bsky.social explores the possibilities and pitfalls of generative AI. He suggests ways to collaborate with these systems and, through demonstrations of specific model failures, builds heuristics to help us get a feel for the current generation of models 🎟️ frontconference.com/tickets

@valentinapy.bsky.social examines the spectrum of language model openness, from fully open to closed systems, highlighting what distinguishes truly open models like Apertus or Olmo from open-weights-only alternatives, while addressing the ethical and legal dimensions. 🎟️ frontconference.com/tickets

Together with @suesmith.lol, we'll explore the developer skills of the future, and work out how we’ll enable people of all experience levels to grow, building strong career pathways that will persist through this wave of automation. 🎟️ frontconference.com/tickets

Front Conference Zurich is coming up soon! On Friday, February 27, an amazing group of speakers will explore how AI is reshaping the way we work, from creativity and product design to engineering and collaboration 🤩 Our lineup: frontconference.com/schedule 🎟️ Your ticket: frontconference.com/tickets

i know a lot of the javascript community thinks that people who complain about frontend complexity are just being cynical but it turns out that caking on layer upon layer of abstractions can have real-world consequences

terrific post, to which i'll add a couple of related thoughts. first: a lot of developers, especially juniors, tend to assume that other people's code is better than theirs, and so using a dependency (rather than a snippet) makes their codebase better this is very much not the case

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on today's landmark Node 22.18 release. It is the first LTS release to ship unflagged TypeScript support 🎉 This means Node can run *.ts files. It pairs well with TypeScript's "erasableSyntaxOnly" flag 👍 Many folk contributed 🙏

This thread is incredible.

Node.js can do more than you think. Next week, it’s time to explore its multi-threaded power. Together, at our @ZurichJS workshop. June 18, 2025, 18:30 @ ORBIZ Josef, Josefstrasse 214a, 8005 Zürich 🇨🇭 We'll cover:

I'm happy because this change means TypeScript defaults and Node defaults are converging 👍 Node does not support Import Elision which means it's important to enable "verbatimModuleSyntax" vMS means the developer knows if an import statement/binding will be deleted - all via the `type` keyword.
