Been working on a new microsite to teach Next.js patterns, and I just published a new one:
"Sharing data with Client Components"
See how to use promises to keep your page unblocked so it can be rendered (or prerendered) as early as possible.
Enjoy!

i'm highly enjoying using railway.app
i think instead of starting with serverless, it would be good for many developers to start with Railway and then try serverless. i feel a lot more comfortable understanding the tradeoffs now

Railway
Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.

Hello friends and welcome to a new “How is ESM vs CJS going!” 33.4% of the popular packages on npm now includes ESM. Up from 29.6% half a year ago. We have a third!
ESM-only is up from 11.5% to 12.6%.
This is also the impact of half a year of Node 18 being EOL, making `require(esm)` available

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I recently tried going back to git after using jj for a while, just to see if I'd miss it. 10 minutes later and I was back in jj. Using git felt painful, so I switched for good.

Shitty button components. We've all seen them, we've all written them. But they don't have to stay shitty! I wrote about building better button components, with simple patterns that I now use everywhere.
Also: the word "button" appears 181 times in it.

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you
