LocalStack used to be the golden standard for local AWS testing. Their upcoming changes mean CI now requires credits, and enterprise usage needs a paid license. That's why I've built fauxqs - a TypeScript SQS/SNS/S3 emulator. (1/3)

If you think that AI is useless for software development, it says more about you than it does about AI. It is very possible to do things with AI that you cannot easily do without. Skill level for "I can tell this is the right solution" is lower than for "I can solve it myself quickly".

Why we built a new Kafka client for Node.js The Node.js world needs better tools. Here’s what you need to know: Apache Kafka is vital for real-time data. It powers many businesses, especially in Fintech and Media. These fields see heavy data usage and need reliable solutions.

There is a popular idea online that "programming is just work, why expect people to be excited about it?". Imagine you are assembling a sports team. Would you get players that aren't really playing to win? If you aim to play in the top league, you can't avoid having standards.

For years, I’ve been asked whether I’ll ever write a book about @nodejs.org. I’m excited to announce the time has come. Presenting “The Definitive Guide for Node.js in Enterprise”, a labour of love by myself, and every single member of the @platformatic.dev team.

In your experience, what is the best way to let the world know about the new approach/framework? I'm putting finishing touches on "opinionated-machine" this week, which brings DX of building fastify backend services to the next level, and probably other people could benefit from knowing about it.

In addition, a new Turn-Based Combat mode is in development for Pillars of Eternity coming later this year. More details on how to participate will be shared once it's available, so keep an eye on our socials and the Obsidian Discord server! discord.gg/obsidian

I think mostly when people complain about TypeScript breaking changes, they mean improvements in the type checker and inference algorithm highlighting bugs that had previously gone unnoticed.

This video reminds me that I really need to play Saga Emerald Beyond. One of the weirdest in an already weird series. as he points out, what he thought was the lead character was just one of many possible options because it branches in BIG ways. Also wild that Romancing Saga 2 Remake was a huge hit

The other 'Blamelikes' (which I was musing on yesterday) are.. [Now] Lorn's Lure Bleak Faith: Forsaken Automaton Lung NaissanceE [Coming] Luna Abyss Dolls Nest Hypogea VA Proxy Radiosol Automaton Heart Radio The Universe It's a very specific vibe but increasingly in vogue, it seems. Any I missed?

Aw, tried making a Steam list of them but it doesn't accept pre-release or demo stuff. And there's a good chunk on the way, including Luna Abyss, Dolls Nest, Hypogea and VA Proxy. Any other 'Blamelikes' y'all can think of?

I strongly urge module authors to hold off on dropping CJS until better solutions than IITM exist for ESM instrumentation. The good news: I'm working on this! The bad news: It's very hard to get this right!

`require(esm)` got backported to Node 20! 🎉 When Node 18 hits EOL in less than 3 months, we can finally drop CJS builds and go ESM-only

I see The Power Fantasy is going to be one of those books like TNHotL or MTMTE or, unsurprisingly, WicDiv where every time a new issue comes out I end up re-reading half of what came out before
