We've got some updates on TypeScript 7! The new native port
- can type-check any project
- supports --build and --incremental
- has rich editor features implemented
- is still 10x faster
and is ready for you to try today!

@mattpocockuk My experience is mixed - AI has changed how I do certain tasks (for the better), but the vaunted "super speed up" seems imaginary. If AI builds your product 5x faster, it also takes 5x longer to polish the last 10%, ending up with exact same timeframe.
Better - but not faster.
@vaderonice @GailSimone Some of the best parts of Curb imo, didn't realize the RFK Jr connection until he became relevant recently.
On the flip side, Curb is still mostly Larry David pissing Cheryl off repeatedly, so now you can enjoy the same scenes a whole new way!
@tony_ohagan@RealDickmann@rasmic Not to say "AI can't write any of it" - just that atm might be "I'm feeding Sonnet 4.5 in Copilot a paragraph on the next function, then cleaning up what it generates", rather than giving a feature or even file to Claude, because at certain complexity it's not worth it.
My entry in the #js13k game jam this year is Ashes of Ulthar: https://t.co/VJNjgOlo0a
(It's barely hinted at in the flavor text but yes, it's a wink to the short story by Lovecraft and intended to be the same village.)
A full post-mortem coming... eventually!
We’ve wrapped the 14th yearly edition of the #js13k competition with 197 entries - thank you all so much for making so many tiny web games! Now is the time to start voting and picking the winners!

I'm convinced that gitflow is a psyop and no one ever done that in practice because it takes like 30 seconds of thinking before you realize this is completely unfeasible and a huge waste of everyone's time
My big complaint about NextJS: why isn't there a server-side "startup hook"? Whenever I want to do important stuff at startup before standalone server (let's say, grab secrets manager, maybe run database migrations, etc.), I need to make lame pre-startup or wrapper scripts.
