Blabbing a lot about fixing problems with JS.
Living the life at RebelDot.
I was so absorbed by yesterday’s topics at @jsheroes.io that I completely forgot to post about them - but fear not, I will blab about them in the following days 🤓

Until then, let day 2 begin!

OK, looks like I'm up next!

"6 Refactorings for Untested Legacy Code"

Let's step into the Dark Forest together and see what spells can help us with that 🪄

Just after the break… ☕

Even if I'm a NestJS fan boi, I just have to appreciate the titanic work done for Express 5.0!✨ Great talk by @sheplu.bsky.social
Next talk! We welcome Jean Burellier with "Reviving Express: A challenging road for Express 5.0" #JSHeroes #JSHeroes2025

I was never convinced of Vercel having good intentions for taking over Next JS. But it was just a gut feeling. Reading this article from Eduardo Boucas confirms me that maybe I’m not crazy after all. eduardoboucas.com/posts/2025-0...
You should know this before choosing Next.js
Picking the technology stack for a project is an important and consequential decision. In the enterprise space in particular, it often involves a multi-year commitment with long-lasting implications o...

@tannerlinsley.com I am experimenting with Tanstack Router and runtime feature flags.

Enabling/Disabling routes entirely is a breeze through pathless routes, but I'm kind of blocked when it comes to migration flags.

Oh we’re going to have a blast! 🥹

I’ve been having sleep issues lately so I’m quite grumpy at work. But I just came out of this wholesome 1:1 call with a colleague of mine and for the first time in 6 months I felt a relation of trust between us. Forever grateful for these kind of moments. 🙇

Idk why, but I was quite reluctant in trying Tailwind. I always said that code looks nasty.

Up until last month, when I gave it a try for a new customer. Being able to build good looking UI’s with such low effort is just brilliant…

This.
But nope! Mostly what we're witnessing is the compound interest of advantage.

If you run an engineering org, stop competing for the already pedigreed, and build an org that rewards curiosity, effort, hard work, teamwork, and caring, as well as brains.

Build your own fucking pedigree.

I was working on a longer thread, but then Chrome crashed 🫠 @bsky.app please give us the option to save drafts 🥺

I have recently learned about the existence of so called Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier or in short, ULID.
It could come in handy when you need a dataset that can be sorted chronologically by id, but I am curious if there are alternatives 🤔

I’ve been experimenting with @tanstack.com Start and for some reason the links described in createRootRoute are not being generated at all. Long night ahead ❤️

For me, writing works like a truth serum, as it always exposes cracks in the thinking process. This is why I advocate for constant note taking and documenting progressively when it comes to building even the most simple systems.
Documentation, the biggest pain point in enterprise software development as a programmer?

Joined RebelDot 3 years ago and it has been such a wise choice in my career. While we are still a relatively small company, we do a staggering amount of extraordinary work!

Here’s a small chunk of what we accomplished last year:

THIS!

To me it feels like @react.dev is applying the ostrich strategy on this matter. But wouldn’t it be nice for things to change, so that Next JS, Remix, Tanstack Start, Vite and others peacefully coexist in the React ecosystem?
"Framework" semantics get in the way of progress way too much with React and I'm really tired of the "you must be this tall" narative from react.dev. Tools that drastically aid you to be productive with React deserve a seat at the table. Vite is just the obvious start among many other tools.

At my first job, we had this deployed service that often required manual interventions via ssh for changing its configuration. That's how I first came into contact with vim. Since then, I have managed to impress a few people by knowing how to exit it 🤭

New in Chrome 133 – which goes stable on Feb 4 – is a new method to move an element around the DOM.

Unlike the classic way of removing+reinserting a node, this moveBefore method preserves the element’s state!

Iframes remain loaded, animations don’t restart, …

Been trying the whole day to create a mechanism for establishing a new connection to a PostgreQL db when credentials are rotated by AWS Secrets Manager. Failed successfully.

Maybe Nest JS is not that brilliant after all…

Just came back from a ski holiday. Getting back at work is so ughhh…

At least I got this cool photo 😜

A friend of mine nudged me some time ago to try Cursor. I refused at the moment thinking it would take me some time to get used with it.

I was quite wrong. I just can not believe how fast it is at scaffolding new apps.

The 2 weeks before Christmas were pure chaos with around the clock efforts to reach end of year milestone. Spoiler alert - we did not do it 🤭

After 3 days of rest, I still feel tired and tense, but damn it feels good to take a break…

Merry Christmas everyone!

Joy is when your terraform code for aws infrastructure works as expected! 🤪

Last month I have decided to go once again through @freecodecamp.bsky.social curricula and I saw a massive improvement from 5 years ago when I first went through it!

When all my colleagues are chasing cloud certifications, I am chasing a JS one.

And I am learning a lot of cool stuff!
