So this happened! I'm very happy and proud to announce I've joined the @GoogleDevExpert program as the first @angular GDE from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷

Thanks to all the folks in my life who had a role in making this happen! ❤️

Onwards to continue learning and sharing 🅰️

@Dimillian Not available for Enterprise yet or still rolling out? I can see it in latest Android app in my personal acct but not work

📣 Open call to agent builders: Let's read agent skills from `.agents/skills`, so people don't have to manage separate folders per agent.

Today we pulled the trigger for Codex to read `.agents/skills`. Goal is to deprecate `.codex/skills`.

Pls like/tag/RT for momentum.

@juristr @claudeai didn't know this either and have needed it dozens of times 😅 thanks!

We’re planning to make OnPush the new default Change Detection Strategy in v22.

Also, ChangeDetectionStrategy.Default would be renamed to Eager.

Check out the RFC and let us know what you think: https://t.co/4tk3U5biRH

"Transformer that didn't make the cut" lmao

I feel you, @openclaw...

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Just shipped in v2.1.19: rewind & fork message history in the Claude Code VSCode extension

PSA: You do NOT need to buy a Mac Mini to run Clawdbot 🦞

That dusty laptop in your closet? Works.
Your gaming PC you feel guilty about? Works.
A $5/mo VPS? Works.
A Raspberry Pi held together with hope? Probably works.

The M4 Mac Mini is gorgeous but Clawdbot runs on basically anything with Node.

Stop giving Apple your money (unless you want to, I'm not your mom).

Making devs finally write docs by calling them “skills” is a great arb

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

How about that for your next prompt?

>Find me all my dependencies, sort them from most to least important, and find me GitHub persons or repos that I can sponsor. https://t.co/gZTeMuc4u1

[Dillon Mulroy @dillon_mulroy]

my take on the code review tools that are coming out:

they’re solving real problems, but not the biggest problem: i need a way to review code effectively before it ever gets to github

[Rafael Mestre 🇵🇷 @mestre_dev]

@steipete @mario_meissner I had some really bad compactions this week (pre 5.2-codex). It almost never reaches that point though

[Liv @livgorton]

Claude hasn't been quantised he simply does not see why he should put in 100% effort the week before christmas

[Rafael Mestre 🇵🇷 @mestre_dev]

wait, what? I quit, updated, and resumed, and it says it was using 5.1-codex, but I had 5.2 selected the whole time... does it switch behind the scenes? 👀

[Rafael Mestre 🇵🇷 @mestre_dev]

reading a lot of complaints about Opus feeling degraded today, but I'm getting great results. GPT-5.2, on the other hand... (haven't tried 5.1 or codex models today)

[Andrés 'El Pana' Villanueva @villanuevand]

¿Tuviste problemas con los CVE de React?
¿Ya actualizaste la versión?

Con @angular no los hubieses tenido...
¿Quieres saber qué hay de nuevo en la versión 21?
Mirá el video que grabé para Ng-News en español.

¡Sorry por el bait! 😄

Custom controls in Angular: then vs now.
~15 lines of boilerplate → 1 line of intent.
This is what framework evolution looks like.

@realsanketp Really good write-up. Thanks for sharing!
