Wrapping up my time at BrowserStack this week after 4.3 years.
Had the chance to ship a ton of features and optimizations, and lead the frontend Percy team. Learned a lot and worked with some great people.
Excited for what’s next. 🚀
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: https://t.co/wzNkwHs7IN
new post: collecting favours

a post on the idea of "reputation". tried writing it a few times as an abstract thing and I hated it, so instead I just wrote about my dad.
Tried Vite's bundled dev on @tldraw 's examples app.
One flag, no config change:
• 21x fewer requests per reload (1,048 → 49)
• HMR 2–4x faster
• Opening another example page up to 3.6x faster
• Reloads 1.8x faster
ECMAScript excitement 😉
Congrats to @acutmore from @TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @TC39 today 🎉
Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.
Vite+ 1.0 is here 🚀

I am excited to announce that I, along with my long-time colleagues (@JeffDean, @OriolVinyalsML, @quocleix), are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a public benefit corporation. We aim to automate the process of discovery and progress in machine learning, science, and engineering. The four of us have helped build some of the world’s most used products and infrastructure. We’re now excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor. ♾
