I think of it the opposite way: you have to be good at reading notes while talking about a subject, which I can't do, whereas I feel more confident rehearsing a "speech" and delivering it without too much deviation.

I find if I don't have this controlled part, I stumble and digress easily.

I don't use speaker notes, but I was thinking you could use @raycast.com to have a shortkey that switches between mirror & extended modes as it transitions between slides & code+browser.

Could be messy with screen resolutions though.

I have been looking up to the @pmnd.rs collective for a while, the quality of the software they produce is inspiring.

Honoured to see them using @nuqs.dev 🫶

1/ 🚨 We just found a massive abuse of the npm ecosystem:

• Targeting 135+ orgs worldwide 🤯
• 175 malicious npm packages (26k+ downloads)
• 630+ HTML lures
• Weaponized unpkg as free CDN hosting for credential-phishing attacks

👀 More details ⬇️⬇️⬇️

That worked, thanks! 🙌

Well ngl, LLM hallucination-driven API design can sometimes give some nice ideas.

But this is just comical.

Very bad React code generated by an LLM that has no idea how useEffect works.

Also lol at the completely unrelated og:image 🙃

It also gets @tanstack.com router APIs wrong. No one is safe.

Nuqs v2.5: Debounce, Schema, and Key Isolation Explained

Nuqs adds a suite of refinements that feel less like incremental patches and more like a reconsideration of the whole search-state pipeline. By unifying debounce semantics, exposing a standard schema....

I spent 5 minutes reading an article about @nuqs.dev, it felt like AI-written initially, and then it predictably spiralled into hallucinated APIs & slop at its finest.

What's the point, seriously? More LLMs are going to feed-back on this slop. I hope to think humans have better judgement.

And I forgot that @biomejs.dev is still reticent to sorting @tailwindcss.com classes as part of the formatter 😓

François Best @francoisbest.com · 2d

I feel your pain. 😓

Python 3.14 is out today! Here are my notes on the new release: simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/8/p...

If you're an open source library maintainer who supports all current Python releases this also means you can drop 3.9 support now and start depending on features from 3.10, like match/case

Python 3.14

This year's major Python version, Python 3.14, just made its first stable release! As usual the what's new in Python 3.14 document is the best place to get familiar with …

Ah yeah I forgot about that thing.

Would you like to open a PR? 😁

Compressing a 30 min talk into 25 min is much harder than I thought..

Going to have to start from scratch for @reactadvanced.gitnation.org (which is 20min), and go deeper, faster.

I was watching @ricky.fm's interview in @syntax.fm and I had the same reaction!

The devtools are so cool, I found a screenshot of custom tracks I had made for @nuqs.dev back in April, but I haven't kept the code 😭

Chrome devtools showing React Performance Tracks (preview), and a custom track called "nuqs tq" (for throttle queue).

I need to sort that out.. 😓

I think my internet is too fast 😅

Try to log in if you have an account? Seemed to work for some folks.

Oh dear, I haven't kept up with local 🇫🇷 politics, apparently we lost another PM after *checks notes* 14 hours into office.

What a mess 😅
