I loved working full-time on @vite.dev hired by StackBlitz. High praise to companies hiring OSS devs!
But as I did when starting @vitest.dev with @antfu.me, for this new community adventure, as project steward of @npmx.dev together with @danielroe.dev, I'll be going independent. Here we go again ❤️

We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

Today we volunteered in preserving the coast line of Bonaire. Together with 20 something volunteers we planted a lot of baby mangrove trees. These will root and will shelter the coastline as well as serve as a nursery for aquatic life. It's also a huge absorber of carbon. 🌱
Multiple eco wins! 💪

The web is still a playful playground: open a text editor, try something weird, learn something new.

Last year we bit the bullet and chose for better work/life balance. Time spent and people met during summer on #Bonaire sped this up, and now we started a new adventure: working remotely (and part time) from this tiny Caribbean island. More family time, more outdoor life, and doing work we enjoy.

Did a guest talk on "AI, what's under the hood?" for six graders. Boy was it fun! Lots of questions and good back and forths on the risks, how it's used and how to (try and) use it safely.
This was an absolute blast! Healthy critical audience, and super bright!

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work.

The majority of us are a bunch of self taught people with rather spotty knowledge and that's fine! Kilian (also self taught) is here to share some of the computer science fundamentals you probably are missing with the aim to improve your code in the long term.

Meanwhile, Tesla stockholders voted to pay Elon Musk approximately $2 million per child he’s killed thus far.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
