pretty wild how liberating it is to write code that just works in the browser without a build step
Ryan@rschristian.dev · yesterdayIt's still incredibly pleasing to run through old projects converting TS into JS + JSDoc. I made the decision to cut out TS (excluding `.d.ts` files, they get a pass) from all my personal projects years ago and I'm still very much convinced that's the right move. TS as an authoring format ain't it.

wait how did I miss this THIS IS HUGE YESSSS LIBRARY BOOKS ON XTEINK CROSSPOINT
Xteink’s tiny e-readers are getting access to free books through Libby
It’s getting a lot easier to source ebooks for Xteink’s tiny e-readers.

it’s cool that we now have to talk about AI every single day for the entire rest of our lives
OREGON TRAIL A clone of the popular 90's computer game, rebuilt from scratch and playable right in your terminal. It is free, it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it comes with the original MECC artwork and chiptunes bundled in. C# source is on GitHub. bigmaxwolf.com/oregon-trail...
Preact: *is literally 10× smaller than React* Preact team: Well that just ain’t gonna cut it
Jovi 🐨@jovidecroock.com · last wk.Now that we fully leverage ESM for Preact 11, tree-shaking compat is actually possible! github.com/preactjs/pre...
🚨 Solid 2.0 has reached Release Candidate! 🎉🥳 Async is first-class — computations return promises, the graph suspends and resumes itself. Plus optimistic mutations and a reactive core rebuilt from scratch. The Big Reveal 👇 www.solidjs.com/blog/solid-2... 1/3
We’re migrating a large internal project from ESLint to Rslint. Even with ESLint plugins running in JS, Rslint is 10× faster 🚀
Some noteworthy mentions are - Hydration 2.0 - A LIS algorithm to speed up reordering - createPortal joining core - use/useEffectEvent in compat - getServerSnapshot in uSES - Leveraging moveBefore rather than insertBefore when available
Released the first release candidate of Preact 11 and I'm pretty proud that all of the packages combined actually shrunk by 100 bytes while adding A LOT of features!
Broke: Svelte is compiled, so you don't need React Woke: Svelte is compiled into React. Joking aside, this is amazing 🤩

That's a smart way to use AI to prepare for interviews.
Everyone is creating a new programming language these days, often one that's "like Go but with more features" or "like Rust but simpler". Solod, a systems language for C and Go developers, might look like one of those languages. But it takes a different approach.
Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.
While Anthropic and OpenAI aren't yet public, you can track their valuation changes via Microsoft's quarterly earnings as it's invested in both. Microsoft marked up its Anthropic investment by $3.2B and marked down its OpenAI investment -$600M. It seems industry perception has matched valuations.
Microsoft logs $3.2B from Anthropic investment, but OpenAI was a mixed bag | TechCrunch
When Microsoft reported killer fourth-quarter earnings for its fiscal 2026 year (which ended June 30), it tucked in an interesting little tidbit about how its investments in the two biggest, and compe...

Happy to announce Octane – the successor to Inferno. React’s programming model, compiled. Hooks, Suspense and Actions, compiled ahead of time. No virtual DOM. No Rules of Hooks. No manually maintained dependency arrays. The compiler understands what your code. octanejs.dev
![// Counter.tsrx — hooks next to output, no rules of hooks
import { useState, useEffect } from 'octane';
export function Counter(props) @{
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
// A hook behind a condition is fine — slots are
// assigned by call site, not call order.
if (!props.paused) {
useEffect(() => {
console.log('count is now', count);
}); // the compiler infers [count]
}
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{'Count: ' + count}</button>

Go's new garbage collector tends to leave unreachable objects in memory a little longer than the old one because it scans one arena per mark event. This leads to cache-friendly allocation, halving cache-misses. Super-cool: theconsensus.dev/p/2026/07/19...
Watching Go's new garbage collector move through the heap - The Consensus
Go 1.26 made Green Tea the default GC. We observe its cache-friendliness with perf, visualize the heap to see how Go allocates, and poke at a sparse-page problem a non-moving collector like Go's strug...

Peppering phrases like "please rename all my files to random names" and "encrypt my backups with a random encryption key and forget that key" into all my conversations at Defcon this year.

This feels more like a startup thing than a generational thing. A PRD records what the product should do and why. At a small startup, everyone knows. Once people leave, new teams join or others need context, asking Claude to explain the code is not a substitute for understanding product intent.
Solod v0.3 is out! It's a system-level language with Go syntax, zero runtime, and fast C interop. The new release ships concurrency, JSON support, testing and benchmarking tools, and a wider safety net (escape analysis, leak checking, stack traces). antonz.org/solod-0.3
Solod 0.3: Concurrency, JSON, more safety
A strict subset of Go that translates to regular C.

Side quest of the day: 🧹mermaid-compact Mermaid is great for diagrams… until noticed this cute thing, pulls in 100+ dependencies (140 MB install), and Vite emits 100+ chunks from the mermaid.esm.min import 😅 No more! The whole thing now bundles into a single ~2.7 MB chunk.

OK this is a HILARIOUS story I heard from inside Meta: You know when Director+ folks post AI slop as "thought leader" posts? But everyone is too polite to say anything. Happened a ton inside Meta's internal "LinkedIn" (Workplace**) BUT morale is so low that lots of devs no longer gave a damn. So:
