Lots of buzz about the ai bubble bursting these days. Deepseek R1 certainly bodes poorly for the likes of Nvidia and OpenAI. 1/x

Did you know it's possible to run CommonJS directly in the browser? No bundlers. It takes quite a few tricks to get it running. Blog post coming soon.

I love a good deep dive. This past week I've learned so so so much about Node.js internals, wasm, wasi, wasix, and quickjs. I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough.

Two big improvements for Easel today: 1. Adjusted our model so that code generation is faster and more reliable. 2. Implemented a changelog so that our users can stay updated on all the new features we'll be releasing over the next few weeks. #buildinpublic

Interesting that OpenAI is teasing o3 right now. The full o1 model was only released on December 5, around two weeks ago. Intrigued to see how it compares, especially on pricing.

A few of my users had some trouble with live previews today related to the recent React 19 release. I emailed them all individually to apologize and upgraded them to the Pro plan for free for the next month. Customer support goes a long way. With Easel, you get white glove service. #buildinpublic
