Yessssssss, I remember dreaming about this feature ~10 years ago when we started using it for the content property. CSS is getting more powerful! ✨

recently, whenever the team needs to make a non-trivial design decision for any of the systems we develop, I advocate for writing a design doc that outlines the context of the change, the proposed solution and at least one alternative solution we’ve consciously discarded.

I bought an iPad recently and tried coding on the go with cloud development environments. Not the ultimate computer (yet), but it can work well enough for super light travel and light work.

I think I’ve found a valid use case to integrate some AI into saraos.tech. It wasn’t something I was explicitly looking for, but it came to mind while thinking about how to make a specific feature more useful. More details coming soon!

I'll be attending BilboStack in a couple of weeks, which also makes for a perfect excuse to visit Bilbao for the weekend :-)))

Who else is gonna be there?

The internationalization APIs (Intl) in browsers and Node.js are so good! Yesterday I added language-sensitive string comparison in just a couple of minutes and have been relying on the date format APIs for years.

You know we’ve reached a decent level of civilization when you can wear noise-canceling headphones, shutting off one of your natural senses, without worrying that something (or someone) will attack you.

I’m about to upgrade a four-year-old project to eslint@9. Any experiences on how painful it will be? Hoping the ecosystem has had enough time to catch up with the new configuration format 🙏

Unsolicited product review: I recently bought the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds and I couldn't be happier with them. The noise cancellation works great & the sound quality is very good. Currently on sale on Amazon (Spain)!

Over the past few days, I’ve been working to make @saraos.tech friendlier with social media links beyond X or websites. Organizers can now add up to five links, with automatic recognition for the most popular ones (and support for more coming soon!)

I’m on the hunt for a new office chair, and before I start browsing like crazy… do you have one you’re particularly happy with?

Okay, it seems like a good time to add support for links to other social accounts such as this beautiful one 🦋 into @saraos.tech 😌

Working in the JavaScript/TypeScript/Node ecosystem for a few years has reinforced my belief in the importance of not coupling too tightly to third-party libraries outside your control. The Node ecosystem is far more fragile and fragmented than, say, Ruby (Rails)

I hope I can find some time to write about a few things I've learned over the last few days about JavaScript proxies, Prisma, and Jest/Vitest environments.

yesterday, I migrated over 600 tests (unit tests, component tests, integration tests) from jest to vitest, unblocking the issues related to upgrading packages to their ESM versions and simplifying the overall test infrastructure. Truly a drop-in replacement for jest! ❤️

hey 👋 are you folks familiar with any good resources about i18n in a web app? I have a good understanding of what's required, but I usually enjoy reading in-depth posts on topics (book recommendations are also welcome!)

so… everyone’s here now, huh? 😌
