TIL evaoration. Jokes aside, google search for "evaoration" now returns quite a few results 🙃

I hope we'll see React move to ESM this year, and push all of its ecosystem to do the same.

I mean, look at this deps tree evolution. Art.
Storybook 10 is here!

✂️ ESM-only (the only breaking change!)
🧩 Module automocking for easier testing
🏭 Typesafe CSF factories Preview for React
💫 UI editing and sharing optimizations
🏷️ Tag filtering exclusion for sidebar management
🔀 Svelte async component support
Storybook 10
ESM-only, 29% lighter, module automocking, and more

This discussion between @reinhold.is and @43081j.com is great. The reduction in bundle size and deps tree complexity that @storybook.js.org pulled of is one of the best examples of why these efforts are worth the sweat. And when one lib improves itself, it slims common dependencies for all others.

Good to hear James talking about the e18e.dev community. Get to know the people behind the avatars as much as you can.

unfair that bigbuttboy42069 isn't yet verified

But the other is two months old, that should compensate. Also, counterpoint: people liked Luna two times more than Zorro.

Results are in: people here like cats ten times more than donkeys. I mean, this is almost the same angle and surroundings.

my take on what we need to teach devs to push the etiquette in the right direction

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

@tylur.dev wrote a good post about this, collecting experiences from a few other maintainers

This is a new sort of post for me. Trust in OSS is a thing I care a lot about. This post is my attempt to frame AI slop PRs as an attack on trust in open source.

I don't think I'll be able to uncrown my top cat pic. I still don't know how they stayed still enough time to take this photo.
Get down and push!

The second spot is so random. It got traction because of a combo of my poor english and people thinking I was commenting on the high price of eggs in USA a year ago.

I still can't get used to our neighbors raising pigs and chickens and being able to buy eggs and meat directly from them. Perks of living in a small village.
