I think everyone who thinks that it is no longer necessary to understand software engineering principles because of AI should spend a few minutes every day browsing /r/vibecoding. It's so so clear that technical skills are still worthwhile.

Also I wonder if there's just a better way to handle these native packages, can't we just allow you to define the platform architecture combinations and have the client just download the correct one in the first place. Needing postinstall feels like a smell that there's missing functionality.

We deserve a better streams API for JavaScript
The Web streams API has become ubiquitous in JavaScript runtimes but was designed for a different era. Here's what a modern streaming API could (should?) look like.

npmx is good. There be noticeable dragons on first visit, but thats to be expected in a project this fresh with this many contributors, but I'm sure that'll straighten out in time. Looking beyond that, there's lots to like.
The browser-compat-data project (used by MDN, caniuse, and tools) now has: 20,000 commits 1,123 contributors 465 releases 19,148 data entries That's what comprehensive web compat data looks like. And it takes well funded teams at @openwebdocs.org and @mozilla.org plus amazing contributors.
Hey! I'm looking for my next thing. Could be contract or full-time. I build design systems, web apps, and design tools. If you know someone who needs a frontend/fullstack dev, send them my way 🙏 trysound.io/hire-me

Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.
Patrick Brosset@patrickbrosset.com · 9mo agoOn the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install. The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it. That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!
What do you think of this transform for TypeScript namespace? It’s meant to more accurately reflect the runtime it becomes.

Please stop inheriting the box-model. The supposed use-case for that is extremely out-dated, inheritance doesn't really help, and it actively makes real box-sizing use-cases more difficult! This #CSS best practice was never the best to begin with: www.oddbird.net/2025/09/04/b...

I'm always thankful that Babel exists. To me it's the unsung hero of the JS ecosystem. It's so easy to prototype something quickly with it!

Rewritten to use DSD to make the "structure" clearer. codepen.io/paramagicdev... :host() has some pretty annoying bugs, but this seems like the case where `:host()` doesn't get to hook into `exportparts` mappings 🤔 Also fascinating that chrome has divergent behavior from FF / Safari for me.
