@nummanali i wish there was a nodejs 1:1 replacement built on zig and jsc
is it time to author breadstick js?
English
It’s cool that Bun is adding these features but what is Bun turning into?
It’s no longer just a faster JavaScript runtime
It’s becoming a platform right?
Also makes you wonder how much of this is influenced by the needs of Claude Code
Observations, not judgement
Jarred Sumner@jarredsumner
In the next version of Bun `Bun.WebView` programmatically controls a headless web browser in Bun

@AdamRackis vague posting king
is this field for money? if so thats fine
is it distance in miles/km? also fine

There's so many small details AI gets horribly wrong
Median software quality is gonna drop so hard next few years

How we build software @intercom is unrecognisable vs 12 months ago. We're fully Claude Code pilled and seeing enormous productivity gains. Excellent thread here from Brian on some things we're doing.
Brian Scanlan@brian_scanlan
We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.

@rachpradhan how is it still so slow though? even the slowest nodejs framework (nest) tops 105k req/s

remix . run now uses the Navigation API for it's routing

I believe we've found the best AI-native coding interview
We call it the “Composer 1 interview”
Candidates get 1 hour to build a real, medium-sized project live
The only constraint: they have to use Cursor’s Composer 1 model

@SlexAxton @fat then why not just overflow ellipsis in a flex and call it a dag
English
@fat @frederic_ooo it's just css at this point, put whatever you want there.

Alex and team have been spending lots of time thinking about middot truncation for the new Trees library by the Pierre Computer Company.
Last night he came across a novel approach to truncation that leverages container queries in a css grid to detect the *moment* of truncation.
The solution works on first render from css with no js, fully SSR compatible. Even copy paste works.

ah yes it’s my favorite “iphone safari wraps every phone number with <a> → react has a hydration mismatch → it remounts the full dom → all images on the page flash. but only on iphone!” type of day
English
@thomascogez_ @josefbender_ @tan_stack ideally refetch the assets manifest client side and replace it, so the impact would only be a slightly slower navigation and a full page rerender
@tannerlinsley could we consider that?
English
@josefbender_ @tan_stack It seems to be a redeloyment while you are navigating and you browser trying to reach older assets, the simplest way to make it transparent for the user is to perform full page reload when vite emit preload error event #load-error-handling" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vite.dev/guide/build#lo…

In @tan_stack Start, there is a weird error that happens when a page is stale in the background.
I thought it happened only on my app, but I just saw it in the @tan_stack docs as well.

@threepointone you almost destroyed the open source ecosystem entirely
thankfully america saved the day again

hey you, uh, thanks for being so nice. I appreciate it. I find a lot of validation from work and mad sciencing and getting cool technology leverage into people's hands, and I was so worried I'd fucked up bad. y'all showing up for me is giving me the weeps. I'm very grateful.

@rachpradhan can you build a kanban board demo? i think this is the best way to see if a system works well for highly interactive UI
e.g.: github.com/remix-run/exam…

merjs just shipped with streaming SSR 🦁
the entire page shell hits the browser in ~5ms.
skeleton cards are real DOM, shimmer and all.
data resolves inline as each fetch completes.
no React. no hydration. no JS framework.
pure Zig, pure HTML, chunked transfer encoding.
Rach@rachpradhan
merjs just went from 2,400 req/s to 115,000 req/s. A 48x improvement. In one afternoon. working end to end fully on @CloudflareDev No Rust rewrite. No C extensions. Just better Zig. Here's what changed (thread) 🧵

@frederic_ooo @CursedVideos If you were to "upload" your consciousness to another body, YOU would die. That's it. Lights out, nothing after that. But your clone continues living on thinking it's still YOU.
That's the issue with "uploading" consciousness, as we currently understand it.
English
YOU CANNOT UPLOAD CONSCIOUSNESS BUT ONLY A REPLICA. YOU CANNOT UPLOAD YOUR MIND. IF YOUR MIND IS UPLOADED AND BOOTED UP WHILE YOURE ALIVE IT IS NOT YOU.

NEWS🚨: A man has uploaded the brain of a fruit fly into a computer and now it lives freely in its own simulation!
English
@TheEmployee2108 @CursedVideos why would it it be ME
what would make it not
it feels like there is a self preservation instinct hard coded into people to say ‘but the original!!!’
only to yourself you are the original, no one can tell the difference apart from you
English
@frederic_ooo @CursedVideos Ship of Theseus is s bullshit analogy in this case, because the thing that makes you "you" is the neural connections in your brain. You could make an exact clone of you, and it would be no less "you" to anyone else, but it wouldn't be YOU.
