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 😓

I feel your pain. 😓

Git log (most recent first)
chore: remove prettier check step
chore: replace eslint with biome
chore: gaaah
chore: explicit path to eslint
chore: alias eslint bin

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.. 😓

François Best @francoisbest.com · 1d

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 😅

Agreed. And make it consistent across web & mobile.

It has limits, there's a cap at 12:

And this is my favourite part:

You can set the tab width on the GitHub web UI with the ?ts={width} search param.

URL state FTW 🙌

Using ?ts=<value> on github works even if there's a .editorconfig file present. All that file does is set the default.

🗣️ My talk "Decluttering Sentry - One Knip at a Time" from @react-prague.bsky.social is now available on YouTube

✂️ This is a real-life story (with ups and downs) about how we used knip by @webpro.nl at @sentry.io to delete 20k lines of unused code and now run it in CI so it never happens again 🎉

TIL you can feature-detect require(esm)

$// To feature-detect require(esm) and fall back accordingly import process from 'node:process'; if (!process.features?.require_module) { // require(esm) is not available, do something less fancy }$
