Indeed, so always write it as simple for the reader to understand. Or you know, for yourself in 2 weeks.

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

It just dawned on me that "firm"ware is someplace between software and hardware.

The Cure were really onto something when they thought of JavaScript in 1979

Wow this is really nice. It’s a feature I’ve been missing that I used at my first programming job where they used SVN lol.

If everyone uses a release cooldown, do comprised packages get noticed in time? Or is it like the joke you hear during a safari: “you don’t need to outrun the lion, you just need to outrun your friend”? nesbitt.io/2026/03/04/p...

The topic of skills atrophy has been running through my mind quite a bit. Delegating cognitive tasks to an AI system could mean over time you lose some of those abilities yourself. Similarly to how you need to keep training a muscle or a sport: use it or lose it. But is this always bad per se?

The idea that technology, like AI, deskills us is not a surprise. I learned cursive at school, my father learned how to use a slide rule. Neither skill is widely mourned. What is important is whether we will make deliberate choices about what skills to keep & which they will be.

Yesterday I had my iPhone battery replaced after some years. I had forgotten what a great feeling it is to only have to charge once per day. It lessens the desire to replace this 13 pro, which is otherwise working perfectly fine still 👌

Wow and remember the io js drama?

From a token efficiency perspective I don’t fully follow why agent skills would be more efficient than MCP. Doesn’t MCP expose a short description of available tools in the same way skill markdown files have some meta details in frontmatter?

I have always been the kind of developer who only cared about outcomes. Give me the tool, the framework, the head start. I just want my website. A totally different kind of developer exists who cares about the *craft*. Getting that function just right. Those devs are in pain right now.

My girlfriend and I are taking Spanish lessons. We got a traditional book and studying goes well. So of course I’m working on a tool to optimize learning. Using spaced repetition algorithms, flash cards and good quality spoken output. Pretty much Anki, but more specialised.

Due to technical limitations there can't be two usb 3 ports. Awkward, but fine. But then the placement is a bit counter intuitive. When both ports are in use, it's probably most likely the port more to the back of the device is used for charging, keeping the faster port occupied.

Scraping bots are getting good. They can pass CloudFlare challenges. We’ve been fighting a 40k “random” ip botnet for a couple of days now. CF does mark them as “somewhat odd” with a lower bot score though. That helps.

We ran into a memory leak in a Node service due to a misunderstanding of Reselect’s createSelector memoization. Might be worth writing up, or is that too dry? 🤔

Can’t wait to try it out! 👌

We've got some updates on TypeScript 7! The new native port - can type-check any project - supports --build and --incremental - has rich editor features implemented - is still 10x faster and is ready for you to try today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/p...

👀 Future of JS This underrated upcoming JS feature is super useful 🔥 Soon, you should be able to import JS code as a string! This is super useful, in particular for docs sites! Similar to Webpack raw loader, asset query ?raw etc, but available everywhere natively!

It’s not explicitly required, but passing an Error object type as { cause } will display very nicely in error monitoring tools like @sentry.io. It will show the child and parent errors stacked together.

Every React hook has multiple levels of understanding a dev has to go through to get to most out of them. Hopefully at some point I fully understand Reacts concurrent rendering gotchas.

François Best@francoisbest.com · 11mo ago

TIL: the "sync" in @react.dev's useSyncExternalStore isn't for "synchronise", it's for "synchronous". As: it's not for synchronising against an external store, It's for synchronously (ie: disabling concurrent features) updating against a store's changes. h/t @tkdodo.eu 🤯

Having this exact same problem. In the Mac dock I'm trying to keep them far away from each other

TFW for a moment you can't tell which one is the code editor and which one is the web browser

About the React useEffect bug and the CloudFlare outage.. Of course devs just need to learn their tools, RTFM and understand the libs/frameworks they're using. But what's also true is that framework APIs should be designed in such a way that they're intuitive to use and hard to accidentally abuse.

Can't believe what I'm reading. Accidentally DDoS yourself because you fetch in useEffect in 2025 is so avoidable 😂 blog.cloudflare.com/deep-dive-in...
