Either Claude van Code or Chad McGpt.

Given this is from Vercel and most likely vibe coded (hopefully not), I wonder how many zero-day vulnerabilities will be there... :^)

APL for talking to LLM when? Also, this reminded me of that episode from The Office where Kevin started talking like a caveman to make communication efficient.

Damn, I wish CloudFlare being down also affected local development, so I could take a break from doing frontend… :'(

I don't think this is the case with CloudFlare, but for every recent GitHub outage or performance issue... oh boy, I blame the clankers!

This wild `unwrap()` kinda took me aback as well. Someone really believed in themselves writing this. :)

While I agree that monopolies suck, I _absolutely hate_ having to waste my time adjusting styles and writing workaround code just to make everything look and work consistently in a multitude of browsers. This is one of the reasons — among a hundred others — that I grew to somewhat hate front-end, doubly so with the rise of mobile devices. And the more rendering engines we have, the more developers will have to fight frustrating battles with inconsistencies and quirks.

Janitor Engineers [0] are already a thing? Damn. Also, all links in this article starting from the "Why AI code fails at scale" section are dead for some reason, even though it was written only 5 days ago. That raises some questions...

EDIT: Not trying to offend anyone with this [0], I've actually had the same half-joking retirement plan since the dawn of vibe coding, to become an "all-organic-code" consultant who untangles and cleans up AI-generated mess.

It also has catalogs feature for defining versions or version ranges as reusable constants that you can reference in workspace packages. It was almost the only reason (besides speed) I switched a year ago from npm and never looked back.

As a TypeScript developer experienced in type-level acrobatics, this looks just fine...

Personally, I'd be annoyed by both the resource-consuming animations and the blurry GIFs/canvas. Infisical does use the latter (canvas) for icons in their UI, and I somewhat hate it. I'd rather look at crisp, but static icons.

Oh no, Keith was the only thing I liked about C++!

Ah, yes, that's totally fair. In case of JS (in browsers) it's sort of a big deal, I suppose, even if scripts being loaded are not render-blocking: the faster you lex and parse source files, the faster page becomes interactive.

P.S. I absolutely loved "Crafting Interpreters" — thank you so much for writing it!
