We leverages programmatic Claude a LOT at Zipper. Disappointed to see it go away. Luckily our engine is unopinionated on providers. GPT-5.5 is a great headless model. GLM-5.1 and Kimi K2.6 are doing great as well. Maybe this is for the better.

@maxlynch We had great conversations with https://t.co/H62teei9yW. Looking to a migration in the future.

@maxlynch I've always had ambitions to build dev tools. I was never successful with it, and seeing nearly every dev tool founder I looked at expressing the frustration of this customer base, I've shelved that ambition haha

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@maxlynch Let me know if you ever need an interviewer to help haha. I have so many questions!

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@maxlynch Just saw you weren't at Ionic anymore🤯 If you ever do a blog/podcast/book, it'd be fascinating to hear about your journey and thoughts going through all the muck and mire of (a) building a company off OSS and (b) building a commercial product in the JavaScript ecosystem.

@lncitador @nestframework @remix_run Nice! Merged and will release shortly.

FYI I usually use https://t.co/gLfCROAcRK for internal testing of packages. Very handy.

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

I published a new NPM package, "nest-remix", this weekend. I am a huge fan of #NestJS and #Remix and this combines all the amazing backend tools from @nestframework with the awesome frontend tools from @remix_run. Super excited.

@lncitador @nestframework @remix_run Yep! I'd love to take a PR for that.

@kwuchu What prompt did you give it? I tried to get MIDI values but it just ignored me and gave me chords.

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@romainlanz @adonisframework Thanks for the rec!

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@ultrasamad 😭

Adonis is the closest one but not quite my taste. Maybe I am the problem :)

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@Ben05920582 @nestframework Nest is close, but no quality view rendering.

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@julioberina Thanks! SailsJS kinda dropped off many years ago. I keep coming back to Adonis - it's close but I really don't like the routing or the homegrown ORM and template engine. Worth giving a shot though!

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

@RobertBMenke @mwseibel @daltonc Great read. It always sucks to shut down a side project, sorry to hear that, but sounds like you learned a ton along the way!

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

Don't be like this.

Imagine walking up to an OSS maintainer who (for nothing or next to nothing) spends hours every day working on a framework that you write code in every day. And you say to them, "You didn't fix a bug in a package I use. Your support is failing me."

Come on.

I’m a big Cypress fan, so I’m shocked to say this: I just switched to @playwrightweb.

Here are 16 reasons I switched:

1. WAY Faster. ~2X faster with 1 core. ~6x faster with multiple cores (uses multiple workers)

2. Tests multiple browsers in parallel.

1/5

Comparison:👇

@notthegymnast @stlCITYsc yeah i was unfair to the pretzels. i'm all for the generic pretzels.

but i said what i said about stadium nachos😤

Unit testing React > unit testing Angular (in 2021)

Have we made significant improvements with the Angular testing toolchain since I left the Angular world?

[Kerry Ritter @KerryRitter]

Fun @remix_run thing I did today: splat param. Easily turned a search page ('/search') into dynamic routes for default filters with much cleaner and SEO-friendly URLs than query parameters ('/search/category/value' and '/search/category2/value2')
