Seeing how quickly @npmx.dev came onto the scene and how many developers from different backgrounds came together to build it gives me hope for the future. The real value is always the people and the culture surrounding them.

Has anybody experimented with a bot that auto-closes PRs that are clearly (a) AI-authored and (b) not cleaned up by a human?
I'm thinking: if the person didn't take the time to clean up the code, I don't want to waste my time reviewing it.
(but if they did clean up the AI code, I do want to)

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 ❤️

In case you missed it: we published an overhaul of the old Mocha website. It's on @astro.build Starlight and has most of the same contents as before, just separated into granular pages. 🤎
Next up will be auditing those pages to be more comprehensive and correct.

I know I mentioned it before, but the more I work with ai, the more I feel like everything we do to optimize it applies equally well to humans.
AI has trouble finding things? Add a md file with a short description of the codebase. Like the exact same thing we do for humans.

Right now, if you use the recommended way to set up an ESLint config with eslint-plugin-import's recommended config preset, you get a false positive.
It's caused by the old 'resolve' package, used by eslint-plugin-import, not supporting 'exports' yet.

I’ve been thinking about open source work that sits between “side project” and “venture-backed startup.” Watching the atproto space has sharpened my thinking around shared, communal infrastructure.
These are some thoughts on why that middle path eroded and what it might take to rebuild it.
