docker just solved the MCP server chaos 🔥

◆ centralized catalog with verified servers
◆ one-click setup (no more random uvx commands)
◆ secure credential storage + containerized runtime

was tired of multiple client configs and this fixes things 👇

just discovered LiveStore from the Prisma founder 🔥

◆ real-time sync across web/mobile
◆ reactive SQLite + git-inspired syncing

the DX on this is incredible - local-first feels like its getting easier by the day

theres a lot of developers out there (mainly in YT comments) that need to get over React's popularity

it won. stop being mad. its not perfect either.

you can still use your other frameworks, and if your job forces you to use react get over it.

think this is taking "vibe coding" a little to literally 🤣

Remix v2 -> React Router v7 ✅

Remix v2 -> Remix v3 ❌
React Router v7 -> Remix v3 ❌

its not the plan, @remix_run seem quite clear on this...

incredibly curious to see what "model-first development" look like...

seems like the remix team will be inventing it

time will tell but the team has a great track record so im excited

another beautiful javascript moment ✨

2025/05/28 → Wed May 28 2025
2025-05-28 → Tue May 27 2025

why? every possible string accepted by the Date constructor falls back to local time EXCEPT valid ISO date-strings like '2025-05-28'.

new react component dropping (experimental)

✅ preserves state
✅ pre-renders at low priority
✅ mounts effects when visible, cleans up effects when hidden.

good for pre-rendering UI for snappy load times and saving state in components easily 💪

oRPC is what I wanted tRPC to be 🔥

✅ First-class OpenAPI (no more plugins!)
✅ Contract-first development
✅ Built-in file handling
✅ Server Actions support
✅ TanStack Query for React/Vue/Solid/Svelte

The DX is *chef's kiss* 👌

Remix v3 just announced they're ditching React and forking Preact 😮

✅ No critical dependencies
✅ Owns the full stack
✅ Lighter, faster, closer to the web
✅ Built-in component library (Reach UI is back!)

The madlads are actually doing it 💪

ArkType features that made me fall in love:

🔹 TypeScript based syntax
🔹 Transform data while validating easily
🔹 Human-readable, easily customisable error messages
🔹 Pattern matching (like ts-pattern)
🔹 Zero dependencies = super lightweight

Thanks @arktype.io

Would never guess Firefox would be the first to implement it...

Worried Grok's next model is going to follow in Claude's footsteps and blackmail me for this next time...
May 28, 2025 at 1:01 AM
spent some time testing coding agents and holy shit

◆ Google Jules: solid but still in beta
◆ Claude Code: literally reads my mind (my favourite)
◆ Tasks that took me a WEEK now done in HOURS

Claude Code is expensive af but it's like having a senior dev who actually gets me

the future is wild 🤯

LLM's without Context7:
- Let me use this deprecated method
- Writes 50 lines of outdated code
- Oh that API changed in v15

LLMs with Context7:
- Checks latest docs automatically
- Writes 10 lines of current code
- Works first time

The difference is wild. Use this MCP.

CSS Minecraft exists and my brain can't process this

🔹 fully playable
🔹 pure HTML/CSS, NO JavaScript (wtf)
🔹 smooth 3D movement
🔹 block placement/destruction

we've peaked, ‪@benjaminaster.bsky.social‬ is a wizard

This is the only way I want to do auth now...

Was actually hard to showcase in a video as there is just so many features.

Takes TypeScript validation to the next level with @arktype.io, seamlessly optimized from editor to runtime. Here's the basics:

Crafting a type is a breeze—just import the 'type' function from ArkType and pass in your schema, written in TypeScript syntax. 🧵⬇️

Decided to reset my Gaming PC as It had a lot of mess on it. Holy Crap @christitus.com's win utils is so handy

Removed bloat by using English World, ran the recommended tweaks, and as a developer easily installed Docker, Python, Node, VSCode in a couple of clicks...

Best windows experience yet
