Wow, this is huge news for the SWC ecosystem!

I _love_ how fast SWC is, but updating plugins has historically been a huge pain. Glad it's getting smoothed out.

It's so funny watching kids pretend to be doctors. This morning, my 3yo fixed my "sprained wrist" by 1. sprinkling water on it, 2. squeezing orange juice on it, 3. drying it with a frying pan (🤷‍♂️), 4. using a hair clip to tweeze the sprain out, and 5. wrapping it in a sock to keep it clean. 😂

👀 Navigation API will be available in all browsers soon 🎉

Completely redefines the APIs used to build client-side routers / SPAs

🫤 History API: popState, link click.preventDefault() ...

✅ Navigation API: clean, centralized way to intercept navigation events 👌

Codemod tools like jscodeshift are great for extracting or analyzing a codebase too!

I needed to find out how we were using a number of components at Cribl. Using jscodeshift, I crawled our largest frontend repo, extracted usage data, and persisted it to SQLite.

Probably a good time to post a few links regarding food banks and aid:

Feeding America (www.feedingamerica.org) - find local foodbanks
Mutual Aid Hub (www.mutualaidhub.org)- find mutual aid funds near you

If you're able to donate to a foodbank (cash or otherwise), please consider doing so!

Feeding America is a nonprofit network of 200 food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States. Learn how you can help end hunger in America.

@crutchcorn.dev Anything we need to do to get the Plop docs site updated? I was on there today implementing Plop in a new project and noticed the most recent TypeScript updates (github.com/plopjs/plop/...) aren't in there.

Happy to help if I can.

Played my first game of D&D last night. It was awesome!

Here's a Midjourney recreation of when a friend leaped down an ancient well to save me from a giant centipede dragging me down into the depths.

Except we both failed our skill checks so I got kicked in the face and he missed the centipede 😂

I've spent more money on tech for myself in the last 48 hours than I have in that past 4 years 😂 Guess October 7 is The Best Day of the Year™!

Walked over 20,000 steps yesterday, many with a 40lb kid on my shoulders. Wasn't expecting to be this sore 😂
