@starter_story @maubaron Imagine if Apple never released the Screen Time API..
The core concept was unimaginable years ago.

Very happy to see Rolldown progressing and reaching another development milestone ♥️

[Evan You @evanyou]

🎉Bootstrapping achieved!
Rolldown is now bundling its JS CLI with itself: https://t.co/5THMF6IX0e

Currently it's transforming TS using a simple esbuild plugin. With OXC TS transforms landing later this year, TS transform will become built-in and no longer require plugins.

Our understanding of AI is better than our understanding of the human brain. Which have we lived with longer?

@leemartin @Mapbox So how do you think this happened, someone just nabbed your key?

[John Hawley 🤔 @JohnHawly]

@ThePrimeagen @rblalock Working through my first go project and I felt like I was doing something wrong with how many of these I was writing,
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
It's tedious, but its prominence in GO has me rethinking a lot of JS I've written over the years now.

@Malcolm_fleX48 @KettlebellLife I light mode everything. I have eye astigmatism.
Light mode helps with text legibility.

Your weekly reminder that FFmpeg powers all online video - Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Disney+, Netflix etc etc, all run FFmpeg underneath

first time I genuinely said "thank you ai, that save me a bunch of time" — when I asked it to create a simple user token syntax renderer like HuBL https://t.co/5kigWk3wrl

@leemartin @vuejsforge @vuejsnation @NuxtNation @VueJSLive Really enjoyed your talk. The audience really dug it with all the musician name drops. When you mentioned you did a project for Jack White a guy next to me said, "of course he did" in an envious manner. Really inspired most of us just working in dashboard/form interfaces all day.

@MKBHD Wondering if this was a paid ad

[John Hawley 🤔 @JohnHawly]

would roll my own containers from a base os, but would still use docker-engine

[Ember Hext @EmberHext]

has anyone made a hot take that you should just roll your own containers instead of using Docker yet
