The folks behind the “State of …” surveys have a new one, and there are zero questions about coding! Instead, the focus is on us. ✨

The questions are about developer interests, health, work preferences, stuff like that. I’m *super* keen to see the results!

I've recently talked on BlueSky about my vitest setup and I've decided to go over it in a video explaining how I test client/server code and make sure that generic code works in both environments.

I also love @vitest.dev!
