docker just solved the MCP server chaos 🔥 ◆ centralized catalog with verified servers ◆ one-click setup (no more random uvx commands) ◆ secure credential storage + containerized runtime was tired of multiple client configs and this fixes things 👇

just discovered LiveStore from the Prisma founder 🔥 ◆ real-time sync across web/mobile ◆ reactive SQLite + git-inspired syncing the DX on this is incredible - local-first feels like its getting easier by the day

theres a lot of developers out there (mainly in YT comments) that need to get over React's popularity it won. stop being mad. its not perfect either. you can still use your other frameworks, and if your job forces you to use react get over it.

incredibly curious to see what "model-first development" look like... seems like the remix team will be inventing it time will tell but the team has a great track record so im excited

another beautiful javascript moment ✨ 2025/05/28 → Wed May 28 2025 2025-05-28 → Tue May 27 2025 why? every possible string accepted by the Date constructor falls back to local time EXCEPT valid ISO date-strings like '2025-05-28'.

new react component dropping (experimental) ✅ preserves state ✅ pre-renders at low priority ✅ mounts effects when visible, cleans up effects when hidden. good for pre-rendering UI for snappy load times and saving state in components easily 💪

oRPC is what I wanted tRPC to be 🔥 ✅ First-class OpenAPI (no more plugins!) ✅ Contract-first development ✅ Built-in file handling ✅ Server Actions support ✅ TanStack Query for React/Vue/Solid/Svelte The DX is *chef's kiss* 👌

Remix v3 just announced they're ditching React and forking Preact 😮 ✅ No critical dependencies ✅ Owns the full stack ✅ Lighter, faster, closer to the web ✅ Built-in component library (Reach UI is back!) The madlads are actually doing it 💪

ArkType features that made me fall in love: 🔹 TypeScript based syntax 🔹 Transform data while validating easily 🔹 Human-readable, easily customisable error messages 🔹 Pattern matching (like ts-pattern) 🔹 Zero dependencies = super lightweight Thanks @arktype.io

spent some time testing coding agents and holy shit ◆ Google Jules: solid but still in beta ◆ Claude Code: literally reads my mind (my favourite) ◆ Tasks that took me a WEEK now done in HOURS Claude Code is expensive af but it's like having a senior dev who actually gets me the future is wild 🤯

LLM's without Context7: - Let me use this deprecated method - Writes 50 lines of outdated code - Oh that API changed in v15 LLMs with Context7: - Checks latest docs automatically - Writes 10 lines of current code - Works first time The difference is wild. Use this MCP.

Takes TypeScript validation to the next level with @arktype.io, seamlessly optimized from editor to runtime. Here's the basics: Crafting a type is a breeze—just import the 'type' function from ArkType and pass in your schema, written in TypeScript syntax. 🧵⬇️

const user = type({   name: "string",   age: "number",   email: "string",   "platform?": "'android' | 'ios'", });

Decided to reset my Gaming PC as It had a lot of mess on it. Holy Crap @christitus.com's win utils is so handy Removed bloat by using English World, ran the recommended tweaks, and as a developer easily installed Docker, Python, Node, VSCode in a couple of clicks... Best windows experience yet

OpenTelemetry is probably now the cncf project with the most traction. For good reasons. Figuring out what to look for and how to do it in a way that don't lock you do a provider forever requires a lot of work. If you want to hear from contributors and experiences folks look at this starter pack
