If you are interested in trying out Valibot to see how much it impacts the bundle size of your application, you can paste your Zod schemas into our website to convert them to Valibot: valibot.dev/guides/migra...
I think there is a misunderstanding. While Zod v4 Mini is much smaller than Zod v3, the bundle size is still ~80% bigger compared to @valibot.dev. Example:

Feature creep is like that friend who orders extra toppings on a pizza—always adds to the cost, and somehow you end up with pineapple on there too. 🍕💻

I opened-sourced @solidjs.com 7 years ago today. But I've been working on it longer.

Today I felt like reflecting on this journey.

I find it aggravating how Discord insists on downloading large updates seemingly every time I reopen it - especially when I'm on a mobile hotspot. 😒

Why no delayed background updates?

And of course, Discord steals focus 2-3x at unpredictable times when starting up. Just a little extra irritation.

🎊 Happy New Year!

I discovered a lot of very cool dev stuff in 2024, from libraries to devtools to educational resources. Thought it’d be fun to share them all, to help kickstart your 2025!

Let’s go through the list. 🧵

My god Gladiator 2 was bad. If you liked the first one don’t watch it. Just like Napoleon it’s so rushed, Ridley clearly lost it sadly.
