Tested native type-stripping in Node yesterday, on a package I did. This requires you to specify `.ts` file endings on any TS files you’re running, which causes conflicts with your tsconfig file, that now needs the `allowImportingTsExtensions` flag, which is only allowed in comb. with `noEmit`.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I've become somewhat stubborn about not using twitter so haven't been there for a while. Had a quick look this morning and was greeted by 50% AI generated videos, 30% questionable commercials and 20% videos I didn't need to see. Of course you can just switch to the follow tab, but man it's wild..

@sanity.io and @mattpocock.com you discussed getting feedback in the recent interview, so I'll give you some. Wonderful conversation! No idea how you'd only have 8 likes on YT for this (Bumped it to 9 now..). Keep it up!

TIL about the e18e.dev initiative, from the amazing @devtools.fm podcast and @43081j.com. Really cool stuff! Go check out the resources section e18e.dev/guide/resour... which is a treasure trove. I've been a happy 'Knip' user for quite some time, but lots of other things I didn't know about already.

Bluesky comments on personal blogs made the rounds a few months ago, and I finally found the time to do my own spin on it. Built with Astro & SolidJS for rendering and data fetching.

Thanks to @emilyliu.me (and by extension @samuel.bsky.team ) for the inspiration!

@danabra.mov When I try navigating to my profile, I always end up slapping my face at the top-left corner, only to realize it opens the account settings, and I need to use the profile button. Stupid idea to make a split button, where the avatar acts as a link to the profile, the dots for settings?

's work, when I had a "Hal fixing a light bulb" moment (reference www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSe...), and it inspired me to write a post about his exploded/3D layer effect used in some of his demos.
