Knip is a cracking-looking open source tool for trimming unused JavaScript.
From the report, we could improve the situation if we stop sending unused JavaScript. @webpro.nl is doing an incredible job growing the usage of knip.dev, and that should hopefully make a dent in the future.

Gotta say, @sanity.io + Opus 4.5 = 🔥
Also, do I happen to know devs with solid Sanity experience here? Looking to connect and line-up someone for possible stand-by/future work. Ideally Dutch and based in NL 🇳🇱

So here's a short write up explaining what happened today and what I'm going through, at a high level. It does include some history too, but I tried to keep it brief.

Serious question: in the upcoming weeks I'll release *my* version of what could have been the Web Almanac CSS chapter on @projectwallace.com. My goal is to tell a story about CSS as it's being used in the wild and to be a canonical reference for many.

knip.dev by @webpro.nl is like Ozempic, but for code.
Great little tool. With little effort we managed to trim loads of dead code from a large repo.

Today, we published a security release for @nodejs.org that fixes a critical bug affecting virtually every production Node.js app.
If you use React Server Components, Next.js, or ANY APM tool (Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry), your app could be vulnerable to DoS attacks.
