so great. Fun to see a breakdown from someone like @jasnell.me so deep in the weeds of JS implementations.

I was asked to speak about parenthood in tech, and it's... very hard to do. So here's a brief attempt at some words. youtu.be/oOTuz3UUn1o
Tech parenthood is great, and weird, and exciting, and tiring, and...
I'm a mom in tech and love it... and yet it's really hard to talk about! There's so much to say and yet it's so hard to sum literally any of it up. So here's a partial attempt at that. --- Website…

Those benchmarks from @t3.gg revealed some interesting issues in Workers. Happy to say it's all fixed now, save for some lingering next.js-specific stuff we're continuing to work on. Thanks for the reproducible test cases, @t3.gg. Excessive details in blog post: blog.cloudflare.com/unpacking-cl...

I gave a talk not to long ago about React Router 7's new way to configure routes (routes.ts) I think it's a lot better than what we (and most JS frameworks) had before, without actually preventing you from using our old file-based routing convention(s)

Cursor has me legit having fun with side projects again. Lots of vibe coding. LLM debugs itself with tests. Even with 7.5 minutes of free time on a given night (typical w/3 kids), the LLM has all the context it needs vs me, who would normally have to ramp up for 30 minutes
Is @aaronfrancis.com an LLM? @austcr.im and I chat with him about Fusion, Solo, and building courses on this week's episode of the pod!
Gave this a shot tonight in Cursor, and I was not disappointed. I've never built a react-three-fiber app before. Epic Games dot com, here I come. Play: luna-game-production.up.railway.app Code: github.com/jplhomer/lun...
Say I wanted to find a way to get a flat `d.ts` of any public NPM package's types. Does something like this exist? I think Skypack's `?dts` thing comes closest but still doesn't get it perfect: docs.skypack.dev/skypack-cdn/...

I want like a small cozy chair or couch in my home office. For reading, podcasting, etc. But not too big. Any recommendations?
