some of us never left!

Next year, we will assign one issue to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Latest work on Vitest's istanbuljs fork removed Babel from coverage-istanbul. Instrumentation is now done with packages that Vitest dep graphs already have: magic-string and rolldown, similar to Vite's own SSR transform. Surprisingly this dep trim improved instrumentation speed 5-10x.

Wondering about the progress of Bundled Dev mode (fka. full bundle mode)? You can now track the progress on bundled-dev.void.app New milestone: 80% of tests (without SSR) passing 🎉

Void v1.1.11 is out & fully open source! Void is a full-stack SDK, CLI, and platform that unifies building & deploying apps. Build on @vite.dev. Deploy on Void. Watch the talk and learn more in our blog post

Ever wondered how a hashed filename ends up in your built JS, especially when the hash can't be known until the file is written? @sapphi.red of the @vite.dev core team starts from exactly that, and ends on what changed in 8.3. @viteconf.org starting in just one hour! viteconf.org

ViteConf starts in a few hours! Join us in the #viteconf channel at chat.vite.dev during the stream today, and help us invite others from your communities so we can gather a good group to watch the talks together 🙌

I deleted X long ago. There were enough reasons back then, and many more afterwards. And to be honest, this place has been way better for me (and I know for a lot of other folks, too). I had a ton of conversations, met new people (many IRL later, too), and it helped us build cool stuff together 🤍

🙋‍♂️ so, what are the git forges you are using - or want to be using? asking for … reasons. (would appreciate sharing for reach)

It’s sad to see Deno being discontinued. However, I think it’s not all terrible. Deno pushed server side JS forward for everyone - Node copied many the standout features Deno had at launch in 2020, bringing them to the masses. Fetch, web sockets, web crypto, direct TypeScript execution, and more. 🫡

If the cost of generating and maintaining code is going down, open source projects should double down on community, people, helping their dependencies and upstream teams, building trust that they are good stewards of that piece of the ecosystem. Some are sadly going in the opposite direction.

20 years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered for speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia. She exposed the brutality of war. She gave a voice to its victims. And she refused to be intimidated into silence. This cost her life. But her memory is carried by so many to this day.

If you'd like to contribute to an oss project, don't focus on creating PRs. Help the maintainers triage issues and review existing PRs. Test beta releases, and give feedback about new APIs and features. Join the community and be around to help others. They need your care way more than your code now.

We are updating our AI Policy to reduce maintenance stress. All pull requests are now automatically closed, unless they are created by maintainers or users from an approved list of contributors. The PR is not lost. If the team decides the change is worth pursuing, we will reopen it.

@typescript.fm podcast hosted me and my Oxc compadre Cameron talking type-aware linting, compilers, what VoidZero's acquisition means for Vite, and what the future of tooling might look like in the age of LLMs. A really fun conversation. typescript.fm/bonus83

With MSW 3.0 released this week, I want to try something new to make the project financially sustainable. I wrote an open letter about the project, its history, and impact on the ecosystem. I ask for five minutes of your time to read it. Thank you. mswjs.io/sponsor

Cancelled my Cursor subscription and finally started to sponsor @svelte.dev Cancelled Apple Music / TV and finally started to sponsor @kettanaito.com Thank you for the nudge and inspiration @santoshyadav.dev

I'm excited to announce MSW v3.0! 🥳 - Leaner dependency graph and smaller size; - ESM-only; - Granular entrypoints; - GraphQL subscriptions; - Socket-based network interception in Node.js; - And much more! mswjs.io/blog/introd...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social from TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.

If you're having some FOMO for @nodeconf.eu ... You can watch online! live.nodeconf.eu

Vite+ 1.0 is here 🚀 A single `vp` CLI for managing your Node.js runtime, package manager, and frontend toolchain. Built on top of Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and tsdown. All with a single config. Free and open source under the MIT license. Start with `vp create` or migrate with `vp migrate`.

This Thursday we'll be discussing about Visual Regression Testing using @vitest.dev and @chromatic.com. Join me and @kylegach.com to hear how you can get VRT that's stable across your whole team, not just on your local machine. 📸

My AI contribution policy has been improved and is now part of ai-policy.dev, an open-source collection of AI policies. It's not a silver bullet. You can't enforce a policy programmatically, but it helps you and everyone contributing understand where your project stands.

💜💙💜💙 happy bi visibility day, you don’t need permission to be who you are or like who you like ⭐️ and if u need a place to write about it, your blogs right there 😎 ily, pckt

I’m so angry I wrote an article: In Germany, fascist majorities are a real possibility again, but the centrist merger of a revived Red Scare with open racism shows that mainstream media & politics are unable or unwilling to comprehend the seriousness of the crisis tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/germ...

I am losing roughly $800 a month by working on MSW full-time while it's one of the most used projects in the ecosystem. Please, if MSW provides you any value, consider becoming a sponsor. I mean it when I say every contribution counts. Thank you ❤️ github.com/sponsors/mswjs

This is such a silly mistake and yet I see you making it all the time in your tests. ❌ Do NOT run cleanup after assertions ✅ Schedule the cleanup via hooks or use Disposable Objects A seemingly tiny change that'll have tremendous impact on your tests, especially memory-wise.

don't be nice.

🚀 Vitest 5.0.1 is out with more than 18 fixes Among them: `define` values are no longer double-quoted in browser mode! It also includes a focused Trace View layout which is used by the Vitest VS Code extension. Time to update 👀 github.com/vitest-dev/v...

Sounds like Putin when Ukraine was finalising its closer association with the EU in 2013

11 years ago, Node.js and io.js merged back into one project

This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

A Vite plugin allows MSW to have a single, unified, and automated integration that's pre-configured for the environment. A single "virtual:msw" is your entrypoint to anything network throughout the app. See this example of both client and server mocking in TanStack Start.

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

This is too real.

Big win! Migrated the whole @netlify.com build repo to @vitest.dev 🎉🎉 Also made heavy use of my snapshot diff tool since ava has binary snapshots (accounting for most of the 40k+ PR 😅)
