I wrote up how I use this workflow daily: https://t.co/3cqwTVDY0W

Git's `fixup!` commits are undersold and underused. I'd love to see more people use them: create messy work-in-progress commits during review, then squash them cleanly before merge—without manually editing the rebase file.
Set `rebase.autoSquash true` once and forget about it.

The https://t.co/PG4hYwUlnu npm badge generator just got a big makeover. 🎨 No more rasterised PNGs - all vectors now. New shields-inspired styles. Download counts are back. Architecture much simplified for better stability & speed 🤞.

I picked up the domain https://t.co/zKFbq6dN4p a while back, intending to do something fun; but never did. I'm about to let it expire but would prefer it to go to a good home. Email me and make a case if you want it: [email protected].

My talk from @Speakeasy_JS

The`goingnative` workshopper, debuted @ NodeConf 2014 (IIRC), just got its first release in more than 4 years! @ccarruitero put in the hard work to make it work again with modern Node.js.
If you want to learn how to build C++ add-ons, take it for a spin.

Made minor improvements to my simple Node.js install script https://t.co/IYm7hvZ57M, I use this on macOS to stay updated; on Linux, https://t.co/fVnEWPnule magically keeps it updated for me.

Quite proud of Polendina, a tool for speedy and uncomplicated browser testing for JavaScript libraries from the command-line. Supports Mocha, Tape and even bare sync and async `throw`ing test runners, plus TypeScript compat & more. https://t.co/wc9nY1tO1J

The "Unofficial Builds" @Nodejs project ships some binaries that don't fit into official build set. In https://t.co/3yx1K9YR86 there are Node 12.1.0 binaries for linux-armv6l, linux-x64-musl, linux-x86 and an experimental win-arm64 that's making its debut.
