I feel like the config file situation in JS-land has gotten out of hand. Tools check for {.config/tool,.toolrc,config.tool}.{cjs,js,mjs,cts,ts,mts,json,jsonc,json5,yaml,yml,toml} That’s 3*12=36 locations to check.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Mocha is donating $20k to more active open source projects: Knip, @nodejs.org, Prettier, and Unified. 🤎 mochajs.org/blog/2026-co...

After a week long struggle for her life, Impa has passed away.

The `using` keyword pretty much made `beforeEach` / `afterEach` obsolete

Reminder that reading code written by another is an order of magnitude harder than writing it yourself.

In React, array index as key is fine. Don’t let the linter fool you. But also, know when it’s not fine. The pitfall isn’t using index as key, the pitfall is not knowing when it’s ok.

2020: How thoughtful! A new contributor made a PR with a proper description with a summary, explanation of the issue, and reasoning for the solution 2026: Ugh, someone used an LLM to fix a typo

I just tried FireFox as a PDF editor and it’s really good! I think I will make this my default PDF editor. No more using a Windows VM to use Acrobat Reader. Editing PDFs is still a horrible idea though. Don’t make people do that.

It’s both sad and fun to see how poorly emoji are supported in SSIDs

Apparently Rolldown handles bundling to ESM better than esbuild. The mdxlint VSCode extension is now ESM 🎉

YES, Dark Mode Toggles _should_ be a browser feature. I wrote about this before: brm.us/dark-mode-ov... Find the link to the Chrome Bug in the post, and hit the star next to it to "upvote" the bug. (I even have a prototype extension to provide this for you: brm.us/chrome-dark-...) #cssday

Dark Mode Toggles Should be a Browser Feature

When implementing Dark Mode and ways to toggle it, developers currently need to duplicate code and roll their own toggle implementation. What if, instead, browsers would take care of all that?

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators ...

We really need the navigator.preferences web API. Even developer.chrome.com suffers from this missing API.

Hello friends and welcome to another “how’s ESM vs CJS doing?!” A big win this time, at a year of `require(esm)` available! 38.0% of the popular npm packages now have ESM, up from 33.4% half a year ago. ESM-only is up from 12.6% to 16.0%. Particularly this non-dual, “vanilla” growth is very big!

Random thought: You could add a shebang to test files and make them executable.

vscode-languageserver-types 3.18.0 was just published to npm. It looks like they’re releasing a new LSP version today.

Does anyone else find it weird that every coverage tool reports line coverage? It’s a pointless metric.

I published a fun little package to make VSCode-style disposables work with ES6 disposables. It might be useful, or not. I figured it’s probably useful for tests.

Functions called renderSomething (e.g. renderContent()) are such an anti-patten in react. You just want another component at this point!

Depite all recent supply chain attacks, this has been the biggest threat to my projects lately. I can’t leave my laptop unattended for 5 seconds anymore 😹

It’s great to see staged trusted publishing in npm. Now let’s push for the same for VSCode extensions too.

I installed a new script into ~/.local/bin/bun Hopefully this will fool some malicious scripts into thinking they ran succesfully.

Do I know any CSS wizards who can answer this question?

Trouble calculating HTML line wrapping positions

I’m trying to calculate where an HTML line breaks automatically. I came up with the following formula, which works fine. I found one off-by-one issue in this minimal example, but that’s not the iss...

An interesting thing about maintaining vscode-icons, is that we encounting issues related to all sorts of developer communities. And people assume that we know what they mean. It may be obvious to you what the zarknob framework for the zublang language is, but I’ve never heard about either before.
