I've never thought about it, but looking at the trend and the current outcomes from my personal experience, I can't agree more. AI is the large-scale distribution of code

Producing stuff cheaply, with a low quality and without thinking about the resulting pollution.

I cannot stress this enough: you must upgrade *now*, and assume everything available in your runtime environment (e.g. env vars) has been compromised.
Netlify and other platforms are tirelessly fighting off threat actors to minimize harm, but the only way to secure your properties is to upgrade.

A critical vulnerability was recently disclosed in React Server Components (RSC), impacting multiple versions of React, Next.js and other RSC-based frameworks.
This flaw could allow malicious actors to execute arbitrary code within an affected application. 🧵

It's merged! The next alpha/beta release @astro.build will support @vite.dev Environment APIs!
It took a long time because we had to re-architect the whole rendering pipeline. With this, even the @cloudflare.social Vite Plugin will work out of the box!

Engineers like to use and abuse the word "normalise" when it comes to... Everything!
Normalise is a word that needs context, because its meaning is situational. "Normalise a path", "normalise a URL", "normalise a string"
Next time you use it, provide some context, so everyone is on the same page

Don't sleep on Servo! It has great potential
Servo is a massive achievement. One of the more unknown but potentially very impactful things about the project is that its modular nature allows parts of the web rendering stack to be embedded elsewhere (in game engines and such).

We have reworked the @biomejs.dev architecture as generic as possible, so now these frameworks are supported. The new architecture will unlock:
- Angular
- Embedded formatting in JS files e.g. CSS-in-JS
- Cross boundaries lint rules
It will take a bit, but the basic bricks are there. Enjoy!

Hot take: Next.js has become overly complex, even for an enterprise. It lost its identity. Look for simpler alternatives (enterprise friendly)
Content with JS? Choose @astro.build or @nuxt.com
Fully SPA? Go for @tanstack.com
Roll your own? @vite.dev and its ecosystem got you
