With all of the AI-in-the-browser agentic tools there are, you'd think at least one of them would check what package manager to use instead of assuming the slowest one (npm).
The answer is not "add X to your repo"
come on.
Too many repos to work in.
Agents should do better.

AI likes to solve problems by adding code.
Sometimes (not even rarely), the best solution is actually removing code.
I know AI will remove tests to make tests pass, but like, has anyone actually seen correct coderemoval?

Stop using npx! I just had to use it to debug an issue and it's soooooooooo sloooooooooow 😫
Want something fast? use pnpx 🎉 And it doesn't take up all your disk space because of the shared store 😍

someone from npm needs to write a check to bjorn and merge his userscript into main
Some new stuff for my npm userscript. github.com/bluwy/npm-us...
Better versions tab, show vulnerability info, new package labels (esm, cjs, module replacements, has postinstall, etc), better settings menu, and more.

Can also start with FLAC, high bitrate/samplerate, if you know where to go :D
✅ You buy an album on vinyl
✅ The album comes with a download code
🚫 The download is 160kbps VBR MP3
✅ You digitize your records
✅ You store 192kHz/24-bit FLAC on your DAP

This is the most asinine thing.
No one is pouring ice on the roads. The roads are icy because we have a cold climate with lots of snow that melts occasionally and freezes over. If they can't handle driving here, maybe they should go back to their southern states?

More generally, years of the ends justify the means but-it-works-ism has poisoned the training data to the point that a divide is emerging between two groups of developers about LLM output.

Vibed a port of a game to Ember -- it went way better than any Vibe coded anything I do at work.

The contrast in discourse between the tailwind funding debacle and this report from @igalia.com is bleak. I would love to see 100 threads and YouTube videos about it, too. If you care about the future of the web and open source sustainability, these are the stories we should talk about.
64% of WebKit non-Apple contributions, 20% of Chromium non-Google, 27% of Servo, 39% of test262, and it goes on.
And doing all this as a worker-owned, employee-run cooperative. The world would be a very different place if companies like Igalia were the norm rather than the exception in tech.

We analyzed Igalia's contributions to some of our favorite open-source projects on the web and elsewhere and summarized them in this blog post! Check it out: www.igalia.com/2026/01/05/D...
