The #OSS RunJS #MCP server lets your #LLM calls safely generate and execute #JavaScript including `fetch` calls to remote APIs. Now it includes a built-in secrets manager that hides secrets from the LLM letting is securely access remote APIs autonomously.

Hacked this together last night: a quick and dirty C# #MCP server that let's #LLMs generate and execute #JavaScript safely in .NET. Use it to give your LLM super powers! 🚀

Went to share an essay to HN only to find someone had already done so...and that it was flagged as "Likely AI-Generated". I've written a blog since 2005, contributed several high profile articles in Medium, and my current blog is in GH with full commit history. The LLM is copying ME! 🤦‍♂️

Noticing an inverse relationship between how much an engineer "badge drops" and the volume and quality of code + system design that they produce. Once the engineer starts badge dropping, it's pretty much a sign that they have no objective ground to defend anymore. Hire builders, not badges.

Truly feels like some folks have a very visceral reaction to #csharp #programming language like no other! Shared my guide for #typescript and #dotnet devs interested in learning the other to #Reddit r/webdev and the reactions are rather...

Really interesting seeing the #csharp and #dotnet hate leaking into this #hackernews thread on HTTP/3 implementations. As far as I know, .NET is one of the few platforms that is shipping HTTP/3 support and @microsoft.com has an open source C library for HTTP/3

Been working on this on nights and weekends for a while! If your team is feeling #typescript / #javascript / #nodejs burnout, give #dotnet and #csharp a look! As far as #programming languages go, C# and TypeScript are remarkably similar (no doubt to their shared designer).

The impact of #AI on how teams select for software engineers largely has not been translated to the #interview and #hiring process. It's probably time for a rethinking of things like the take home coding project; skip the coding and just focus on the review instead: coderev.app/blog/improvi...

I've been working on 3 new features for CodeRev.app to help teams that want to easily incorporate #code reviews into the #tech #interview and #hiring process with less friction. Check out this 60 second intro! With #AI generated code becoming more common, more teams should consider code reviews!

Two trending threads on #hackernews on #AI and #interviews motivated me to make a quick intro video for CodeRev.app. It's a free, lightweight, #opensource tool to incorporate code reviews into interviews. With AI coding assistants being mainstream, #leetcode is not the way! youtu.be/280_4NKvHlw

An addendum to @t3.gg's excellent and concise video on "Why is every React site so slow?". What many #reactjs, #vuejs, #javascript developers may not realize is that React's model of reactivity is completely inverted from everything else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ohy...

Topic comes up once in a while when devs switch to/from #reactjs. Devs that have been working exclusively in either React or "not-react" may not realize that React's model of reactivity is inverted from nearly everything else out there (including vanilla #javascript). chrlschn.dev/blog/2025/01...

My daughter wrote a paper and used #ChatGPT to "grade" it before submitting. It occurred to me that there are teachers out there using GPT to grade submitted work. And in turn some of that work could be written by GPT in the first place. So in some cases, it's simply #AI grading AI #aipocalypse

🧵1/2 Interesting things happening in my inbox; curious if this is happening to anyone else. Two days ago, I got an email form a dating site CoffeeMeetsBagel that I most certainly did not sign up for and the email was addressed to "Michael":

A brain dump of some lessons learned (from an engineering perspective) from working at #startups big and small over my career: chrlschn.dev/blog/2024/12...

One of my favorite artifacts I've seen. Found in the HQ of a Danish multi-national.
