We need to start normalizing that software engineering can be a 9-to-5 job. It's ok to not live, eat, and breathe tech 24/7. It's ok to be in tech bc it's a lucrative job that pays the bills. You don't need to be passionate about tech to be in tech.

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

@mityasmusin @pbakaus Oh god! So much doom and gloom - am I the only one not existentially worried? I have faith in engineers ability to always be in demand and stay relevant as there will inevitably always be new problems to solve.

Recording and minutes from the recent @nodejs Next-10 meeting, good follow on discussion to the Advocacy deep dive last week. Many thanks to @nomadtechie and @shepsheplu for leading that deep dive! - https://t.co/rJvGuw1aNj, https://t.co/KAnzVsWSfh

🚀 #100DaysOfPerf Day 50! This was due yesterday, but left it in draft. Two of my faves were on the @JSPartyFM podcast talking all things #corewebvitals. @anniesullie & @rick_viscomi were busy breaking down LCP, CLS + INP for 90 mins. Enjoy! #webperf

It was so much fun to chat about Core Web Vitals and Interaction to Next Paint with @nomadtechie, @nicknisi, and @rick_viscomi! If you're interested in Core Web Vitals, definitely give it a listen!

@DanShappir @anniesullie @nicknisi @rick_viscomi So glad you enjoyed it, Dan! High praise for Mr. Web Perf 3000 😊💚🙏🏾

The point is that would be a massive breaking change in the ecosystem and entertaining it and giving it’s space isn’t the way forward. Things don’t have to be binary - enabling other pkg managers doesn’t have to come at the cost of removing npm. Stoking useless fires in community is also not productive.

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

@karlgroves Fox sponsored Russian propaganda - very sad, but don’t let these morons rile you up.

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

@galstar @t3dotgg That’s pretty hot, tbh! I wish we made more space for control flow via generators. Super underutilized in the world of application development, and more commonly used in libraries.

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

Corpack works best for yarn and that makes sense the in wider context. Ultimately, the best best path fwd is to A) do nothing since this wasn’t a need being driven from the community. It’s been proven that not being bundled with node has not been a barrier to usage. B) Start bundling yarn, and pnpm bc unbundling npm or enabling it through Corpack isn’t a viable option.

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

And as for whether or not to enable Corpack by default (which is a separate but related issue) there are many valid technical reasons raised here by @darcy as to how this creates serious integrity issues, which is in turn will be a source of confusion and bugs for end users:

@kitsonk Makes perfect sense! And yes to this!! Thanks so much for sharing context ❤️🙏🏾

[Amal Hussein @nomadtechie]

This code is likely a very good read y’all! I’m sure it’s mountains more streamlined than npm’s legacy codebase. Very eager to dig in! Still not clear on the business model though, is this just a value add for the deno ecosystem, or is there some direct revenue stream?

JSR source code for frontend+backend, all of our cloud configuration, the docs, and everything else is now open source on GitHub:

@darcy @lcasdev @syntaxfm Thank you both for the share! And looking forward to the birth of vlt as well! The package management space continues to heat up with big bets - so here for this! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾

@brucel I know, that was the most duh and stupid response. Oh really, really??! lol

Jeeez, so glad someone other than an developer called them out on that.
