Saving some snippets here but Dave Snyder’s article is worth reading, bookmarking, and internalizing (cached). Trees don’t pay off tomorrow. They pay off in a decade. They compound quietly, making everything around them better, shade, value, beauty, longevity. Most products? We treat them like s…
And a classic one at that (OS/2 and BeOS vibes). Amazing. Here’s how they did it. Gatsby!
He’s also written and published this amazing book.
A pretty comprehensive solution! I was looking for this when attempting to learn me some Bun and make a small script that would live-reload a single page (with SASS and Tailwind). And voila: a significantly better solution than the duct tapey thing I came up with 🤣
Lovely. Uses some kind of sharding to intelligently get ‘pages’ of relevance. The WASM size is only ~70kB, compared to SQLite’s WASM’s ~460kB.

It’s what all the Patagonia-clads are raving about. They tell me it solves all perf problems in a snap. Update Here’s an NPM package. And, of course, Java if you’d like to deploy this in an Enterprise™ setting.…
The Art of Node # An introduction to Node.js # This document is intended for readers who know at least a little bit of a couple of things: a scripting language like JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, etc. If you aren’t a programmer yet then it is probably easier to start by reading JavaScript for…
The key takeaways in no particular order. Use <noscript>. If you are using it, use it a lot more. There is no guarantee that chunks will load after the main one does; the user’s location and/or network access might have changed! Think CalTrain. ISPs, Corporate VPNs, and Browser Plugins1 c…

A handy-dandy visual guide to the <script> tag, its various attributes, and how they relate to HTML parsing. Source unknown.…
It’s very simple and clever. This is an example of what’s rendered from this giant Markdown file 💙…
The argument here being that, since the ‘general form’ of the conjecture is undecidable, TypeScript’s type system is undecidable. How does one even think of doing these things? I love Typescript, but it isn’t nearly ambitious enough. It would be vastly improved with an --extremelyStrict flag enfo…
Nexe and pkg are two compilers that create self-contained executables out of your Node scripts. Deno introduced this in a recent release, which got me looking for Node-based alternatives.…
This is a new personal record. Will go six months the next time 🎸…
In programming, it is also common to refer to the “NIH syndrome” as the tendency towards reinventing the wheel (reimplementing something that is already available) based on the belief that in-house developments are inherently better suited, more secure, more controlled, quicker to develop, and inc…
