As someone involved in #oss and #javascript but never directly on Vue/Vite, that community always looked healthy and interesting - at times inspiring

I'm looking forward to see how Vite+ project & its licensing approach will succeed 🍿

it's always such a relief to see that there are still creative and fun and silly projects hidden in the corners of the WWW - good stuff 🧑‍🍳

(if you have any that you super like, pls send them my way!)

ahhh yes fellow people of culture always thinking about the roman empire too 🤝

jokes aside - this article about Signal’s post-quantum makeover is SUPER interesting. Did I understand everything at a first read? heck no. but well worth the time

the fact that as little as 250 documents are enough to poison an LLM is 🤯🤯🤯

Security still need to figure out the right way around AIs, uh? 😅 not concerning at all

ngl I've been asking this very question myself for quite some time. It's very, very hard to feel joy when using something this messy and inconsistent 🥲

btw not a work thing but I just wanted to give a shoutout to R-Tools Technology for their Data Recovery Software 'cause thanks to it I managed to salvage a 5TB (!) external hard disk that literally none of the other softwares were able to recover 🫡

add to the list of reasons to never accept homework in hiring pipelines 📝

(on a more serious note, HOLY S*** this is actually a surprising approach to try and hack someone - and with AI all around... YIKES)

...and perfectly spoOOoky 👻 for today 👻

at the risk of sounding like one of those life-influencers, I think Eric Barker wrote another post well worth learning from 💎

Oh wow - given that the latest (early Oct) put the weekly active users in the range of the 800M, this means that 0.15% is over 1M... AI chat companies really need to be on top of their game around this

great blog released by OpenAI about their efforts

ok i've tried to give #Codex another stab but I have to say, it super bothers me that it shows the "pre-pending" commands it runs to run the actual things that are relevant
October 23, 2025 at 3:58 PM
I think I mentioned this strategy already in the past, but it's good to see that there's more and more signalling that making your AI coding agent write notes outside of itself is an important way to make it effective 📝📝📝

WOAH Arduino is joining Qualcomm 🤯

I really hope that they will *really* retain their #opensource DNA

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay once again - and I can't stress it enough: take care of your #mentalhealth.

We are living through unprecedented times that just keep on being more and more

even just living can feel like a challenge

don't give up

ICYMI: last week Amazon dropped one of the most 🤯 projects in the #reactnative space, SPECIFICALLY because of this: they have integrated *in the OS itself* common RN components and libs

I'm so glad its out of NDA ahaha finallyyyy we can nerd about it

I've been using heavily #ClaudeCode for coding over the last month or so, I think I found my groove and approach to make it work consistently decently - here's a quick&dirty graph that shows my current flow:

(ofc feedback super welcome 🙏)

kind of wild that #ClaudeCode is made with TS + React + Yoga 🤯

The more I play with #ClaudeCode's subagents, the more my ⚙️ spin - I think even more than ever being great at context engineering and apply that to subagents will really unlock the next "phase" of ai coding

Zach Wills has a great post for inspo:

this is one of those genuine hack projects that deserve the spotlight for the straight up creativity 👏

(I miss going to events and hear about these things... like that time Joe Hart made AoE2 with React)

I totally missed it but depcheck (no, not rnx-kit's align-deps 😂) was archived earlier this summer!

and the devtool they recommend as replacement seems super interesting, will need to tinker with it 🧑‍🔬 knip.dev/
