@wesbos The total loss was ~2.8 million. Those who responded at 3am were able to prevent another 5 million from evaporating. The response time wasn’t too bad once we were aware of the issue, tops 20m. The hidden lesson is to not let your internal admin tools rot as your business grows.

@KidtheFlash Oof! What happened? Did they cancel the orders?

@venir_dev @andonov_t @ZachSents @passle_ @iLuvBridgeFires I’ve heard GitHub doesn’t know what deleted means so you could be in luck 😉

lol, removing is-number from this package saves 440gb weekly github.com/micromatch/to-…

@mattpocockuk I have always found it rather strange that the vscode extension api for reading an editors document returns the entire contents as a string rather than a stream.

Beware loading entire files into memory. If you can, use createReadStream and for await...of. So many folks don't know this API exists. This performs 1.75 faster finding a phrase in a 50MB file:

@meesrutten @JoshWComeau To the intern at Google who shipped the dark mode feature on Gmail, your intentions were in the right place, but you’ve created so much pain

@JoshWComeau It all went haywire even more once darkmode was introduced. Some clients have it, some don’t. And some just convert your colors when they feel like it.

@mootoday @71iQz @simnalamburt @luke_is Same when linting. Lint and format check a partial set of files, they run quickly, giving you feedback. Then lint and format check all files in CI to ensure quality is kept before the change lands. People break local environments 100x more than CI on main

@jlongster @kentcdodds In case someone can’t afford a flight out, you might want to check out Pointhound.com for cheap flights in sept, although full-warning I am one of the few people building it.

@kentcdodds there's a lot of people (including me) who'd pay out of pocket probably and you don't need to find too many

I'm considering hosting an in-person event at this location in Utah in September. - 2 days, 1 night (lodging provided) - Awesome facilitated activities - Workshop by myself - Talks by a few others (possibly) - Intimate (30ish people) - Snacks/coffee/meals provided Wanna come?

@mattpocockuk Can’t believe this is getting fixed after all this time. Dependency trees have been so much harder to manage because of this issue. I haven’t seen a single one with a top level await either.

CJS and ESM are friends again ❤️

@ryanflorence So many people here are misreading this. You said “They”. This was a group effort, and always is at an org as large as Google. The quality of the new login is poor, and this is just one example.

Somebody at google is learning flexbox and they let them ship their work 5 minutes in to the tutorial

@mattpocockuk Mind deleting this? You’re taking away my job security here

I was today years old when I learned you can do CMD-SHIFT-L to select all occurrences of a piece of text in VSCode. How many hours have I wasted repeatedly hitting CMD-D 😬

e2e tests continue to be underrated. Yes, they are slower to run than unit tests, and usually take longer to write, but a good e2e test lasts forever, no matter how often you change the implementation. It's the only kind of test I want to write anymore. It's worth the extra work.

@HaloSupport looks like you could use my help, your react app is crashing.

@kentcdodds I’d love to see some competition in this space. The current implementation from Next leaves a giant gap that is asking to be filled.

I'm excited for them to land in Remix! Still not convinced Next has it right.

I'm coming around to React Server Components

@mattpocockuk @edumaxsantos More on this here: github.com/tc39/proposal-…

@edumaxsantos Good point - I see this as different from a normal const, because it has a side effect.

The new 'using' keyword in TS 5.2 gets _really_ exciting when you combine it with 'await'. So many use cases. Database connections, file handles - any long-running connection that needs to be closed automatically.

@JLarky Now add `as Using`, since of course useUsing was typed as any 🔥

React 19 using Typescript 6

@tomus_sherman @BenKingNTU @acemarke I agree with you, this isn’t a breaking change. However, I consider most of what RSC offers today dead on arrival, as the majority of third party libraries aren’t able to develop for it. It’s clear work is needed, and the RFC for RSC even mentions this missing functionality.

@BenKingNTU @acemarke See this thread for some more explanation on exactly how it's not a breaking change twitter.com/dan_abramov/st…

As a library maintainer in the React ecosystem, I'm getting pretty frustrated by the churn around React Server Components. Really starting to question whether the touted benefits are worth the pain being inflicted on lib maintainers: #issuecomment-1594894341" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/apollographql/…

@sebmarkbage @rauchg Notoriously difficult to nail down issues, such as memory leaks, or cache invalidation bugs are in this category for me.

@sebmarkbage A bugfix for something hard to repro gives me butterflies

@acdlite In fact, it’s killing me

Suspense: it’s good
