Trying to hide my bitterness at not being at a music festival by watching it and declaring it unconsensual instrumentality AMA

Using bun in prod on a small, non-customer facing app. Holy smokes it's fast. It's 80 LoC with 100% test coverage and the CI completes in ~7s 🤯

After playing with the demo, all I can say is: hnnnnngggg

Slightly frustrating that Bun has no linter/formatter. Yes, there's Biome but I am not switching away from Node where I have a formatter set up, to set up another formatter. Deno _has_ a formatter but not too keen on the Postgres performance compared to Bun.

Guess I'll stick with Node then 😒

Had to post this somewhere as I'm mega proud. Back in September I weighed 87kg - heaviest I've ever been. Wanting to arrest the slump I made a few tweaks to my diet and eating habits, and am now 77kg. I've set myself the goal of getting to 75kg so that I can start strength training again.

The parallel/intercepting routes functionality in Next.js definitely needs bottoming out from a docs PoV but just made the best bit of UI I've ever made using it 😍

TL;DR - vitest is the nooch.

Got a hella small TypeScript repo which I wanted to add some testing to. Trying to add jest was a bloody nightmare, saw a SO thread suggesting vitest and it just works. No config. No setup. Awesome.
