Hi there!
I'm a developer @speakeasy.com working on OpenAPI code generation. I'm obsessed with @typescriptlang.org, Go and building high quality developer tools.
Also into mechanical keyboards and gaming 👋

Hey @sockpuppet.org @fly.io, just wanted to flag that the flydotio Twitter account appears to be hijacked and is spreading crypto coin spam. I can't DM on bsky sadly, sorry for the public message.

Ghostty is great but I am too reliant on iTerm's tmux integration so I'm switching back for now :|

It would be so cool if @pnpm.io could support single file scripting the same way `uv` does including specifying dependencies in at the top of the script file.

I now firmly believe that the zero value concept for structs in @golang.org does more harm than good and have taken to running the exhaustruct linter through golangci-lint to prevent me from ever accidentally relying on it. I might write a post about this some day.

Pleas hire Adam so he can keep making incredibly content and educate the rest of us. If I’m at all good at CSS, it’s because of him.

I actually have a proposal for something like that. github.com/golang/go/is...
proposal: spec: anonymous struct literals · Issue #35304 · golang/go
Currently it is not possible to write a struct literal without mentioning its type (with the exception of struct literals in map and slice composite literals). This can make it extraordinarily hard...

No corepack? No problem, mise and aqua are here to make life easier. You can have different versions in different repos and mise will switch to the right ones automatically. And I haven't gone into how useful mise tasks are - so much better than `make` and npm scripts.
oh super, node voted to drop corepack from the distribution
incredibly disappointing
there goes my convenient setup 😞

Amazing… One of our competitors just copies our docs for features we’ve built and they haven’t yet. Basically selling through.

Who’s the best Python developer you know that’s looking for a job? You know… the sort that sets all
linters to strictest and has their finger on the pulse of the ecosystem. I want to meet them.

I wrote about the main feature of @typescriptlang.org enums that I'm going to miss: TSDoc support on enum members. I hope the TypeScript team can port this over to union members as more folks migrate towards string unions instead of enums.

I love TypeScript so effing much. I’m laughing so hard at the commitment to the bit.
Doom now runs in @typescriptlang.org types. What a journey this one's been.

Excited to share what I've been working on! All @speakeasy.com TypeScript SDKs are getting MCP servers bundled with them for free. We think it's far too useful to have your API available to agents on day 1. We've been playing with a few from our customers' SDKs and it's magic. Stay tuned for more!
🤖 How do you make your API AI-ready? With the latest acronym hot off the press — MCP: Model Context Protocol. It's about to permanently change how we build software 🚀

I still find it amazing that my brain can run Go, Rust, TypeScript code albeit slower than a computer but also faster in other ways. Like every bit of a program is reentrant in my head. You can be working through one sequence of code and then you can just jump right over and resume at another.

I wrote about how the `using` keyword in @typescriptlang.org helps you move off the clumsy beforeEach / afterEach hooks in your test code when setting up databases and mock servers. Read more about it here:

Nothing is as simple as adding Expressive Code to an @astro.build project. If you use code blocks then do yourself a favor and install it to supercharge them with titles, copy/paste, line focus and more.

I decided to investigate whether @nodejs.org, @bun.sh and @deno.land supported HTTP/2 in their `fetch` implementations. Deno came out on top here by supporting it out of the box. Hope folks get behind WinterCG to formalize this so we get closer to true interop.

I don't think the @typescriptlang.org module / moduleResolution confusion is going to subside until the TypeScript team drops obsolete configurations and refreshes `tsc --init`. Like `classic` and `node` being default module resolutions is actively harmful nowadays.

My goodness Rust projects just eat up disk space. I know it's fashionable to ridicule node.js / npm but I think this is on another level.
