I'm stoked to talk with the lovely folks at e18e about open source, performance, linting, and all sorts of things!
very excited for our first guest of the e18e & friends show to be @joshuakgoldberg.com!

He's done so many great things for open source already, so we're super happy to have him join us to chat about what he's been up to lately!

tune in tomorrow 🎉

one of the most exciting projects we have in @e18e.dev right now is to measure/track perf of all popular meta-frameworks

if you're interested in this or maintain a framework, reach out! its a fun, difficult project 😀

& we're very lucky to have @alexanderkaran.bsky.social leading it (no pressure 😂)

its great seeing npmx as an output for a lot of the data and tools we have inside e18e

visibility of these things goes a long way to helping the wider community improve their own projects

very nice having a place to output this

One week for the e18e & friends show! This would be an amazing series if you care about the JavaScript ecosystem. @43081j.com and @thealexlichter.com are awesome, and they have such a great pool of folks close to the e18e community to tap into. Follow @e18e.dev to listen to the show once it is out!

Happy to have been included as an npmx maintainer 🙏

A few people had the same idea around the same time, and now they're all working together on one very cool project. Hopefully I can help them make good progress!
