The affected package has been removed from npm, over 5 hours after it was published. Whew, what a ride.

maybe I’m being sensitive but I’m giving a bit of a side eye to deno.com stating that it’s “Backwards compatible with Node.js”

When leadership (in a software company or community) shows you that it is not a welcoming space for productive and critical discussions (critique of LLMs in the flavor of today), it’s time to take some advice from @dasharez0ne.bsky.social.

Toxic spaces aren’t worth your time.

I went to figure out why the gatsbyjs.com lighthouse performance score had jumped up ~10 points in the last 24 hours and found that Google Tag Manager was 404-ing 😅

@danielroe.dev I’m curious if you would be interested in making the lab data on page-speed.dev more visually prominent?

just as an example I would argue that the 56 perf on nextjs.org should have more visual weight here

TIL Chrome and Safari support dynamic creation of Import Maps in script 👀

Firefox does too but with a few *hefty* limitations:

1. “Import maps are not allowed after a module load or preload has started” (separate non-module `<script>`)
2. “Multiple import maps are not allowed.” 😭
