@GergelyOrosz I read the OP and almost got mad because I thought you might've been referring to a friend's similarly themed product, which launched today. @alpine4work has been dogfooded from day 1.

This is their website and what they are building The questions isn’t why they are replacing Linear: it’s why did they use it at all, if their goal is to replace it?

A startup building a SaaS they hope can replace Linear (project management), Notion (docs) and Attio/HubSpot (CRM) announces they are not using these tools anymore Marketing at its finest - and yet people take it seriously… It’s as if Zoom said they are no longer using Teams

@AndaristRake @kettanaito @BookSpotlight I recently finished The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin and it was fantastic. Truly worthy of all the accolades. I could also say the same about the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy (Three Body Problem).

@lazytype @kettanaito @BookSpotlight If u have some other recommendations, I would certainly welcome them ;p

What books are you starting off 2026 with? Here are my current reads!

@AndaristRake @kettanaito @BookSpotlight I found the Night Angel trilogy to be fairly forgettable but the Lightbringer series left a greater impression!

@kettanaito @BookSpotlight I remember enjoying this quite a lot back in the day, I need to re-read it someday. I'm just wrapping up The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks this weekend... I definitely had higher expectations 😢 gonna push through the whole trilogy anyway though

@MetaOpenSource Link for those who don't want to waste bandwidth pyrefly.org/blog/pyrefly-b…

Announcing Pyrefly is now in Beta 🎉 Pyrefly is a super fast, open source language server and typechecker for Python. We’ve been working closely with our open source community to improve performance, add new features and address bugs. Learn more: youtu.be/4o0RLJJ-FAo

@robpalmer2 @jitl I can't speak to the frequency, but At Airtable, we wrote a custom lint rule that would automatically fix these to use an internal `pushIterableToArray` utility function with the same behavior as `Array.prototype.pushAll`.

@jitl Could you say more about the times when you have seen this problem occur? e.g. frequency, reasonableness of the use-case, what did the original coder think at the time, what was the response, etc

thank god im tired of having to fix people's stack overflow `array.push(...hugeAmountOfStuff)`

@rankintweets Don't forget ESBuild

Rich guy open source passion projects like Ghostty and Omarchy are the internet equivalent of building a library or school

@ChShersh The MacOS version of `patch` (2.0-12u11-Apple) actually silently applies patches incorrectly on large files

Isn’t it amazing that fundamental Unix tools like ls, head, tail, grep, xargs and others were written in C like 40 years ago and they still run the world without bugs

@mitsuhiko And it's quite terrible for module load times

It's fascinating how many Python libraries are implementing this OpenAI pattern of having a client that exposes sub-resources on it with methods. Eg: client.messages.create(). How this this pattern become so popular?

@typesanitizer As a mostly readonly consumer I find bsky posts to have much more engagement. The people I follow on mastodon sometimes feel like they're speaking into an echo chamber

I'm considering creating a social media account on Bluesky or Mastodon, might be more active there than here. Thoughts? If you've tried both, how would you summarize the differences?

@AndaristRake @sebastienlorber Did not expect to see an issue I opened after clicking into the PR 😄. Hope it goes through! 🤞

@sebastienlorber Ok, I opened a draft for this github.com/microsoft/Type…

Still wish TypeScript supported that pattern Quite common to implement "as" props in React

@SeaRyanC @drosenwasser @andhaveaniceday I think a valuable abstraction is something like a database of all the nodes. Not saying you can just stick them into SQLite and call it a day, but something that would facilitate arbitrary type queries would be good not just for building LSPs but also like type-aware lint rules.

@lazytype @drosenwasser @andhaveaniceday We could serialize ASTs, but I'm not sure where that cache would even go (maybe tsbuildinfo?). Validating up-to-dateness implies I/O cost would be unchanged. Serializing types is pretty gnarly due to the type representation having references to the global symbol table

So many people hung up on the new TS being written in Go. Problem solving is not forcing the usage of your favorite solution.

@SeaRyanC @drosenwasser @andhaveaniceday

The question I'd like to see answered is if this unlocks more efficient serialization of types more easily. In large composite projects the overall time spent parsing declaration files is non-negligible. Even if that step got 10x faster could it be 100x if it was a binary format?

@MichaelArnaldi @AndaristRake Can confirm

Nerd sniping @AndaristRake always works: github.com/microsoft/Type…

@robpalmer2 @TC39 I know things like polyfills depend on these mechanisms but I would think it's possible to introduce new blessed ways to do those things without relying on problematic functionality.

@robpalmer2 @TC39 It's been longer since now and when "use strict" was introduced than when "use strict" was introduced and JS was created. Like how about a "use resolute" pragma that prevents mutating runtime builtins and object prototypes? Is that unreasonable?

ECMAScript excitement 😉 F5 hosts @TC39 in Seattle on 18-20 Feb 🎉 Agenda: ⬆️ Curtailing Thenables ⬆️ Error.captureStackTrace ⬆️ Error Stack Accessor ⬆️ Float16Array ⬆️ Immutable ArrayBuffer ⬆️ import defer ⬆️ Math.clamp ⬆️ Redeclarable global eval vars ⬆️ RegExp Escaping

@AndaristRake Subtle! Thanks for the lesson!

@lazytype until i reminded myself about this annoyance above, deferring the property access fixed it immediately 🫠

I definitely still haven't really grokked reverse mapped types.
