It would be hard to understate how large of a feat of engineering this was. PostGraphile is such a powerful tool and it's great to see such a great foundation for the future in v5 Kudos to @benjie.dev, Jem, and all who contributed to Postgraphile

PostGraphile V5 is here! New execution engine. New export system. New extension capabilities. Same focus on productivity and performance! This is the biggest release we’ve ever shipped. See what changed: postgraphile.org/news/2026-0...

Immediate impulse purchase. Josh's animations are SO COOL and I can't wait to learn his tricks!

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

Josh builds the highest quality educational materials I've seen in the world of web software development If his last 2 courses are any indication, I'll be referencing this for years. I highly recommend checking it out

C++ is much easier post-ChatGPT. Was grumbling that current project forced my hand into building a portion in C++, and now I'm breezing through building it Dependency management is also much better than it was in ~2016, but it is still very rough. make's pip look good

I'd love to see a post on React's useOptimistic from @joshwcomeau.com 😁 The React docs and existing resources out there are too high level. They don't actually explain how it actually works in detail - they just show an example of how it's used. In my experimentation, it seems sneakily nuanced!

Diving into Next.js and it feels like the cacheing primitives are designed more for semi-static sites than for dynamic ones e.g. it'd be huge have cache tags be dynamic. Then I can revalidate a single cache entry, not just the entire cache really hope they're working on this

Delightful little post on what happens when you don't understand the *why* behind copy-pasting a solution from the internet. Even more important in the age of vibe coding / LLMs smoores.dev/post/no_such...

🎉 Introducing my upcoming third course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you how to build top-tier animations and interactions using a variety of techniques. ✨ You can join the waitlist on the course’s brand-new site, which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve built in quite some time:

Whimsical Animations

Learn how to create charming interactions and delightful touches using the magic of CSS, JavaScript, SVG, and Canvas. I’m sharing all my tricks in this one!

I wonder how much economic output has been eviscerated debugging CORS issues

2 things I'd love to see from new cloud providers like Railway, Fly.io, 1 - an LLM to chat with that has the context of the state of your whole account. "Why am I seeing X?" "It could be because this setting is set over here"

uh, I think I found a bug in Chrome rendering today??

Anytime I am helping someone with CSS and they seem to have the wrong mindset in how they approach writing it, I tell them to watch this video by @miriam.codes As far as I'm concerned it should be required viewing for anyone who is learning CSS. youtu.be/aHUtMbJw8iA?...

rust is basically a really nice version of javascript

Someone should do a regular TypeScript “Packages we Love” inspired by @oxide.computer’s “Crates we Love”. It’s a delightful format, and I imagine everyone listening would learn something oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/cra...

Finishing up ESLint’s financials for 2024 and…it’s not pretty. ESLint ran at a nearly $60,000 deficit. We managed due to our prioritizing building up our reserves for several years prior in case of a rainy day. We can use your help closing the gap. eslint.org/donate

It's kinda wild how slow the F street car in SF is. Pretty sure it's significantly slower than a bike. Would be curious to see if ridership numbers justify its existence

Time and time again, I keep coming back to @joshwcomeau.com's CSS and React courses to refresh my memory on something. They ay very well be the best resources on the internet on those topics www.joyforjs.com

Manually managing focus state in a web app is not a fun time. Would not recommend it (also couldn’t find a better way for supporting keyboard nav through elements in a canvas??)

Kinda wild that we don’t have an HTTP status code for partial success other than 206, which seems focused on the range request I wonder what would break if the GraphQL community just commandeered a 2xx number and started using it. We’ve still got plenty of numbers, right? 😅

I know that ship has already sailed, but it’s a tiny shame that the term “query” is used in GraphQL requests to refer to the whole document and to the query operations. Could’ve calledthe request the “document” or maybe “queryDocument” to better disambiguate. Naming is hard

Somehow I made it 6 years working on GraphQL, and I never RTFMed. Turns out, it’s really well written and I learned a few new things! graphql.org/learn/

I sometimes think about my high school math teacher than said being a programmer was a horrible job and that I should not study computer science

Was hoping to use Neon Database for my Postgraphile (by @graphile.org) deployment, but event triggers are required for Postgraphile's "watch mode" Is branching worth forgoing watch mode 🤔

I wanna hear the untold stories of the huge architectural and data migrations that go into the “smallest” changes like when Slack added the ability to add someone to a group DM and *move past messages* to the new conversation or how Amazon no longer asks which Kindle to send your library book to

Playing with React again after being away a while, pretty stoked about this setup: - @bun.sh serving @tanstack.com start + router - @biomejs.dev handling formatting, linting - @tailwindcss.com styles - Wasm with Rust + wasm-bindgen + wasm-pack - All dockerized and deployed to @fly.io Very slick ✨

Collaborated with @benjie.dev on an updated version of the Graphile Config docs. It’s a pretty young project, but I think this is a valuable little tool for people creating large extensible Node.js libraries a la Postgraphile, Cube.js, etc star.graphile.org/graphile-con...

The Transit app is so much better than google maps for SF transit. Can more San Franciscans use it so the live updates are even more accurate 🙏

Super interesting project, and the first time I've been exposed to bootstrappable builds project trying very hard to not be nerd sniped

I know most software engineers hate writing docs, but I've always kinda loved it. I've really enjoyed contributing to the @graphile.org docs over the last couple weeks on the side. Turns out that contributing docs to OSS projects isn't so hard 🙂
