TIL: I can probably understand 95% Maltese, youtube.com/watch?v=beIHWz… it's literally Arabic! The 1-10 count is 100% the same.

Upgrading node requires updating @types/node, which requires updating typescript, which requires upgrading the app framework (and probably eslint, etc…)

And then we wonder why we see apps/services still running older versions of node or packages in general…

Fyi, Bluesky has a web app! It's https://staging.bsky.app. For an MVP it works great and is pretty functional.

Kudos to the Bluesky team!

Glad they did this. One of the main reason many didn’t use it (myself included) was the requirement to log in.

React Compiler is great but not like Harry Potter’s wand, You can’t just point it to a slow app and say “performance repairoo!!” And it magically turns it to super fast

If you have stories with it not being magical as it seems, please write it here, preparing a talk about it and would be useful

I have been using Nix for +4 years, which completely changed how I manage my machines and handle local dev environments.

This intro by @surma.dev is really great, because the term "nix" is overloaded and it can mean multiple things.
