Just because your project is open source does not make it acceptable to cold email developers for exposure and ask for contributions. Especially if that project is at the core of a for-profit business. Be respectful

Staff Eng @ Pointhound Open saucing your grandmothers tomato recipes. Some call me a Squishy Claude
I am casually considering taking over the world. No wait... I am making a button blue that was red.
My ISP just emailed me for the second time this year that they are “upgrading” my internet speed free of charge, I went from 300Mbps to 600Mbps to 1Gbps. At this rate we will achieve FTL in ~26 years
If you `! touch AKAMAI` and then prompt Claude Fable to `git status`, it will fallback to Opus as if you’ve just broken into the pentagon itself.
Every car should come with an open weight model that runs fully offline in case of an emergency and you have no connectivity and need to Macgyver yourself to safety. This is gonna be a thing even if you don't like it.
@ratatui.rs Started working on a BullMQ browser called bulltui using ratatui. Shockingly pleasant DX for building Terminal UIs
You heard it here first — 2026 is the year you can finally style a select!! It will be in all browsers by the end of the year 🎉🎉🎉 @jakearchibald.com #cssday
Rust is moving toward a formal LLM contribution policy after months of heated internal debate, driven by a wave of low-effort "slop PRs" straining maintainers. The proposal bans LLM authorship but allows private use. socket.dev/blog/rust-mo...

It should be more common to show a video of a demo as a fallback when sharing new browser capabilities (e.g. HTML-in-Canvas), rather than a “your browser is not supported”. I see it far too often and it’s simply lazy.

What's the problem this PR addresses? The rate at which supply chain attacks occur is growing, and given that we can't rely on the npm registry for good practices it means we need to beco...

Catalogs just landed in evlog Centralize your error & audit management in one place. No more magic strings scattered everywhere. Start small with a single file, scale to multi-package monorepos with full TypeScript autocomplete. You define it once, use it everywhere. evlog.dev/learn/catalogs
Everyone wants to call the environmentally friendly sendBeacon() method these days, but give sendBacon() a chance it is delicious 🥓
My favorite thing about @npmx.dev is it becomes obvious when my packages are following modern practices.
When you’ve been procrastinating all day, but aren’t ashamed to hide it.
Non tech people often make a strange assumption that humans can somehow have the entirety of a codebase perfectly in memory. Even worse when folks in tech make this assumption, even about themselves
A friend of mine, not in tech, is getting bullied by his boss on a Saturday for not using Grammarly. I am afraid to ask how many of us, in tech, are going through the same thing but with LLMs instead.
Every day of the week I’ve experienced a new GitHub bug. Today I even got two! Gotta catch ‘em all
Someone on my team just said they always tell Claude to “review pull requests like you are Vinny”. New complement unlocked
In the next version of Vitest you can track leaking asynchronous resources via `--detect-async-leaks` option! Available in v4.1.0-beta.4 release. 🔍 (notice missing await in the example)
When you spend half an hour trying to find a file, and an LLM can’t find the file, is it a good time to start crying?
🙋♂️ so ... for reasons: I would love to know people's frustrations with: - the current npmjs.com - admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally) 🙏
Emails that tell you to respond directly to the email, and then respond by telling you the inbox isn’t monitored and to go down other rabbit holes are the worst
Everyone is excited to discuss how well LLMs can program, but I just want to know when they’re gonna clean and climb my stairs
The English language is missing a term for “generic you”, so as to avoid confusion. Gyou are doing it wrong
What many Staff Eng fail to realize is that the amount of ambiguity you must deal with greatly varies depending on who you work for. Find the people that see eye to eye with you, and you’ll be set free.
