I'm interested in the idea that signals are more complex to keep in your head. Do you feel this is the case?

What are the most controversial things about solidjs in your mind?

My list would be dont destructure props, no early returns in templates, calling state as functions, and using control flow components

Very excited to announce that I have joined @powersync.com as a Developer Relations Engineer!

Sync Engines are the future of app development on every platform, not just the web, and provide a necessary abstraction for AI applications and agentic engineers.

Some of the brightest minds, a heartwarming community, performance, simplicity, innovation, an ecosystem built on love for JavaScript, SolidJS has it all.

So lets be honest:

The only thing stopping you from adopting it, is that others will adopt it first. 1/3

I loved working full-time on @vite.dev hired by StackBlitz. High praise to companies hiring OSS devs!

But as I did when starting @vitest.dev with @antfu.me, for this new community adventure, as project steward of @npmx.dev together with @danielroe.dev, I'll be going independent. Here we go again ❤️
We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

My job involves keeping a finger on the pulse of web frameworks. I wrote about what I tracked in 2025.

Themes I saw:
1. So. Many. CVEs.
2. The Next.js team delivered!
3. Changes for coding agents
4. RSCs entered a new phase
5. Signals won... almost
6. 🦀🦀🦀

I made a post this week and what @katywings.bsky.social and @cyberspatialstudies.org said stuck with me.

Learning in public means being embarrassed sometimes. That’s not failure, it’s part of improving.
