Working at @figma.com on @payload.dev. If your rich text editor doesn't work, it's probably my fault
Finally! Command suggestions are now available in the VS Code Terminal!

I hate .reduce(). Traditional for loops are much cleaner and easier to understand, while .reduce() usually makes code harder to skim.

As of @payload.dev 3.24.0, you can now use block references to deduplicate blocks, resulting in up to 3× faster page loads!

Tested on a project with 600 blocks across 40 block fields (that’s 24,000 referenced blocks), it’s a massive performance boost for large-scale setups!

Turbopack is incredible - just tested out the latest Next.js canary in the @payload.dev monorepo and our compile times + memory usage have improved significantly:

Webpack Postgres: Out-Of-Memory
Turbo Postgres: 5.4s

Webpack Mongo: 19.3s
Turbo Mongo: 6.3s

That's a 3x speed improvement 🎉

"Checked Returns for Conditional and Indexed Access Types"

= Dynamic function return types dependent on the arguments, without requiring complex overloads

This is amazing! Solves one of the biggest pain points I had with Typescript
We just released the beta for TypeScript 5.8! This release brings support for Node.js' require(ESM), smarter/safer checks for functions using advanced types, a few great optimizations for editor scenarios, and more. Give it a try!

0 vs. null vs. undefined. Is this accurate?

Meet Momo. Every so often, she forgets to roll up her tongue before her daily nap

Fun Web UI for BabyAGI I found. Allows you to play around it without having to install anything (just need to provide an OpenAI key)

=> https://babyagi-ui.vercel.app/

My experience so far: it's actually not that useful

My strategy for taking a nap efficiently:

Step 1: drink red bull
Step 2: sleep for 15 minutes
Step 3: now the red bull kicks in and you wake up automatically after just 15 minutes.

No need for an alarm, no feeling tired when you wake up, and no need to be worried about sleeping in!

Idea: “Beg for invite” button for bluesky team members.

Huge time-saver!

Feature idea:

Ability to borrow invites & go into the negative, then “pay” them back in the future.
