I spent the past 3 days in Vienna at the @rescript-lang.org contributors retreat and we've got some awesome stuff shipping very soon! Tldr; AI ♥️ ReScript

Development of ReScript V13 is going well. We now have ways to make sense of a PR diff much quicker. We call it "semantic diff". Example attached.

I'm working on the LEGO Rivendale set. The thing is massive and I'm about 9 hours into the build, and I think I'm just about halfway done.

For the life of me i do not understand why more people don't use ReScript Better, simpler type system then Typescript. All the guarantees of a lib like Effect *and more* but compiles to fast, optimized JS. Compiler itself is fast and scales easily. Bindings are easy with agents. What gives?

These are still the best PRs.

Fear is the mind killer.

Waiting for the keynote to start at Apollo Summit!

Effect should be the standard library in any serious Typescript project.

I don't know how long it's been there but the interactive map of Golarion now has a timeline slider to show changes in the setting. map.pathfinderwiki.com#location=4.5...

besides being full of holes, DHH's latest keynote also had near nothing to say to Rails users. cool cool cool. https://jardo.dev/what-about-rails

LLM: this code is special it's impossible to test. I need to exclude it from the coverage reports. Me: No, it's not. LLM: You're right, I agree. I'll write those tests now.

Now I have the full picture. Wait, let me check.... Now I have the full picture. Wait, let me check.... Now I have the full picture. Wait, let me check.... Now I have the full picture. Wait, let me check.... Now I have the full picture. Wait, let me check.... Now I have the full picture...

That's weirdly correct! I lived in Portland for over 10 years, and now I'm in the Boston area.

Wake up! The new node_modules visualization just dropped

I'm starting a new job on Monday and it'll be my first time working with Next.js. Any tips? I'll be focusing a lot on performance and build times.

How did I miss this? I've been wanting to make a journaling app and this will be perfect! docs.deno.com/runtime/desk...

Death to the barrel files!

Good! I hope Massachusetts does the same, along with every other state!

📣 The moment is here. 📣 TypeScript 7 is officially released! 7️⃣ devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

The 2026 State of Devs survey is now open. This survey's goal is to take the pulse of the developer community regarding things like career, workplace issues, and mental and physical health, and I think it's more important than ever right now! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

I'm running the Pathfinder 2E beginner box on Foundry through @startplaying.bsky.social tomorrow night! I have 3 seats still open!

@zed.dev continues to get better every day! I love the worktree picket and the ability to quickly create a new agent thread in an existing worktree, or to create a new worktree. I'm experimenting with planning in one thread and worktree and then passing off implementation while I continue to plan.

Get ready for Free RPG Day next Saturday, June 27th! Support your FLGS next weekend by stopping by and playing our two new adventures, Starfinder: Rescue on Raxil and Pathfinder: Things Go To Hell! Read the blog: buff.ly/fJsbkyn

And here it is with most of the supports removed. "A warsworn is an animate mass of corpses composed of dozens, sometimes even hundreds, of victims of battle."

One of the greatest feelings is waking up to a successful 3D print that took 9 hours over night.

i thought they meant fable the video game

Does anyone out there have experience running or playing the Stormbringer or Elric ttrpgs? I love the setting. The Eric books are my favorite fantasy stories and I have a Stormbringer tattoo. I like OSR systems so I think I would like it.

Well this is crazy. Everyone started texting me asking if I heard a boom and I missed it because I had the kids in a McDonald's play space, which apparently is loader than a meteor exploding that could be heard in 3 states. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Celeborn: Tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him. I no longer see him on Slack. Galadriel: Gandalf the Grey did not log on today. His status has fallen into shadow. Legolas: He was laid off by the Balrog of Morgoth. Our roadmap needlessly prioritized a Moria-first strategy.

I'll be watching from this spot!

I haven't used Axios since 2016, and I've always questioned people who still use it.

This is why I love Zed. It's fast. I don't have the patience to wait 10 years to see a diff and hope the UI doesn't crash.

Is it just me, or is it idiotic that a fork can poison the cache of a repo? Shouldn't a fork be sandboxed?

I've discovered that ReScript's pattern matching can help create unit tests that are easy to understand when something breaks.

This sums up a lot of how I feel about AI. I'm using it and I do think it's helpful, but I'm sad that the art or writing good, clean code is no longer talked about or relevant. I am hoping that the hype and bubble burst and things go back to normal.

Got my little hex-grid to @rescript-lang.org v12. No idea if I'll work on it beyond that but had to see the new build system working 🤩
