it was a lot of fun...!
whatever the past year has held for you, I think you have what it takes to make 2025 your year
looking forward to seeing what is in your future!
thinking outside the box, casting vision - and solving real problems
I can't wait to see where you end up!
It says a lot about you that the encouragement you impart means so much to people
you're funny too
damnn that means a lot thank you
you're personable and interesting and a positive force wherever you go
also, your avatar photo doesn't do you justice
(guess I should change the avatar pic then 😅)
I think I've told you before how much I enjoy your code health visualisations
understanding and exploring data is hard - but you enable other people to do that, which I love
always enjoy hearing you talk, and of course the inevitable escapades!
kind and thoughtful
and I miss your almost-daily photos of the river!
The river will be a more permanent fixture once the sun has the decency to return to us again!
But the meticulousness of your replies (even to folks you don’t seem to know) is beyond admiration. I’m humbled to know you.
Hope to see you more often in 2025 and hopefully hit the slopes (or at least boulder) together.
you're careful with what you say and kind when speaking about absent people
you are quite a gentle person and I think an excellent father and leader of people
you're one of the first names I often see recommended for programmers to learn from
I think I probably have a lot to learn from you too (I need to watch more of your streams for sure!)
cheers!
finding life and inspiration in these things is rare but it makes you so much more interesting of a person!
very approachable and you have a very nice, conversational approach to thinking aloud which I think must make you very easy to follow
and I really appreciate the way you are switched on emotionally, not just technically
I love your good humour and willingness to work together
I respect you and know you're going good places
in awe
nice work
I feel like I don't know many people with the same breadth of knowledge (hardware and web apis, iot and ai)
I keep meaning to dive deeper into some of what you've written.
multiple people have mentioned you by name to me as being one of the best/most helpful TS wizards
your reputation is considerable and the time you spend to help others is not unnoticed
A guy who worked/contributed heavily on changesets. By making it more awesome and reliable. To the point that to this day, we still can use it.
And for those two reasons, I'll co-sign too.
that's rare to see from a 'big personality' (which it seems you are as a founder of a successful consultancy)
Is this AI generated?
and I really appreciate your feed - I think this will be a good year for you
you're kind and generous with your time
you are also careful - you'd rather measure twice and cut once
really impressed by what you're doing with pruvious 🔥
i always find that helps me really learn and internalise something
Yeah a great way to understand and learn in depth..
enjoyed our time together in middlesbrough - what a conference!
I think sometimes you can just tell that someone is an expert in something from the moment they open their mouth - that was definitely the case for you
you're interested/curious and analytical enough to understand deeply
i love that you care about the natural world
Honestly you don't know me so you shouldn't have anything to reply 😂
I'm just here for the good vibes 😎
would love to know how you found your sabbatical
and I really respect the time you spend to help people via mentoring, videos, podcasts and so much more
Curious what you’d say 😅
I'm so pleased you're working on local-first stuff and hope to see great things from @localfirstacademy.com this year 🙏
i’m really glad you’re on board ❤️
you have such an eye for detail and create these delightful, beautiful sites
I'm always pleased when you build on nuxt
you have so many good ideas - you're so talented and you don't really seem constrained into any one area - from llms to component testing to so much more!
you have ambitions to make it a better place and I'm here for that
also very curious about zaneops!
But I definitely have ambitions about ZaneOps.
edinburgh, that is!
can’t wait to see more of what you post, and maybe visiting some of those spaces myself
Edinburgh is a bit special. There's always something new to see, no matter how well you think you know the place.
It really shows that you love coding, which I feel the same way about, and it's very nice to have the opportunity to talk to like-minded people.
I'd say the same about you - you're not just an excellent coder but a thoughtful one too
I'm always glad when I see your name on a PR
that's great! we need to think more of ourselves as artisans of the web, not tying ourselves to any particular framework
but.
you are incredibly funny. love your humour.
and your sense of style is _fantastic_. 👌
even now, browsing your blog, it was hard not to get sucked in
it's clear you also have the engineering depth to back up what you write
looking forward to seeing what you launch this year
Appreciate the kind words 🫶🏽
Seriously need to get back to writing…
Got some things lined up, so stay tuned!
You, yourself are also a great speaker. Also, you are one of the most kind, friendly, and down to earth person I’ve met.
You OSS rockstar!
I think the future is brighter for you than you might think.
You are kind and patient and I am glad to be working with you for many years now.
you are the real deal
principled, entrepreneurial, driven by a vision and negotiating the inevitable difficulties of startup life with aplomb
you have incredible empathy, which I think is why you create such amazing dx
beautiful and really solid under the hood too
you are very switched on and remind me of me (labelling issues while watching a film, for example!)
and wise enough not to compartmentalise yourself or pigeonhole yourself into one box
I think your thoughts on the world would be well worth listening to
I think you don't think as highly of yourself as you deserve though
You're improving people's well-being on multiple levels.
I love how nevertheless you see your greatest value is enabling others
would love to hear your unvarnished takes on any and all
I've been saying it's the year of wasm for a while - here's to 2025!
that's so hard to do - I hope you inspire many 🙏
i love the mix of guests ❤️
i think you’re going to author an amazing library or join in maintaining a great oss project
I think you are correct, just need to find my value and interest in the right thing
but what strikes me most is how helpful, humble and others-focused you are ❤️
and the quality of everything you put out is really 👌
really enjoyed meeting you (was it in Toronto?) and can't wait for the next time
i think you have the rare ability to understand and empathise with others in their dev journeys, wherever that is
I appreciate your concern for justice and your willingness to speak up
your website is also totally fantastic btw - I need a user manual too
my wish is that in 2025 you get all the things you hope for everyone else - you'd be set for life!
love your graphics work (you have a real talent!) and your ability to _advocate_ for the benefits of vue (and other tech)
I really hope to see more from you 🙏
I feel like you've got real skill in both design x engineering and I'm really glad to see you doing so much with @nuxt.com and @unjs.io!
I think you'll have a lot of replies to answer 😂
you take responsibility for difficult and boring work (like triage) whilst also building cool stuff (like forging ahead with server components)
you've made such a difference - thank you!
you’re technically capable, have real emotional intelligence, and can communicate clearly
the trifecta
can't figure out in what sense you're a hacker
and you have great taste in coffee
I know you know it, but you're going places!
(and thanks for being a force for good in open source yadda yadda)
great at explaining concepts
and you're not afraid to change your mind publicly - a great sign of an agile intellect and healthy ego
❤️
This is a Vue account now 😉
also, you’re a good leader and architect - i would love to see your 360 reviews!
and you look for opportunities to support open source ❤️
love this take
https://bsky.app/profile/ellyse7777.bsky.social/post/3lehihqawmc2j
you're also really creative - and when I look at your stuff I keep getting cool ideas to try (so it's contagious too!)
Would love to hear what ideas I’ve given you!
I love your ping concept - thinking maybe to get something that pushes a message to the home screen og my phone
I love the breadth of the tools you use to build things, too
well done.
but you've absolutely earned a seat at the table
thank you for all you've done.
at the right time, I'd love to see more from you - your projects + articles are really interesting ... ❤️
and maybe watch your streams
i like what you’re doing
you clearly have impressive knowledge and a depth of thought that is enviable
and I love your energy!
which might explain your skills in webperf and technical seo?
I would say yes, you're right. Actually, that's something that some managers have told me in the past.
So, do you have a crystal ball or is it your superpower? 🤩
And I couldn't resist to know how much left is in your pocket (or bottomless bucket?) of positivity?
(and I'm curious about where you live! I think often people living in a different culture have a keen insight into blind spots - their own and others)
Is quite a challenge to live where I am... Rewarding though! It's a journey that continuously teaches me lessons about my inner self. And like you wrote, others too!
I somehow imagine you in my mind as conan o brien of the aws world
you are hilarious + your quips can be trenchant and really insightful
🫡
also you're remarkably humble and we need to tell more people about what you do
it was really nice to meet you - feels like you might have something to do with the amazing community feeling in perf now
one of the few people I looked to
thank you
Maybe I will try bouldering next time 🧗♂️
love how you think
and your projects look so genuinely useful, like a Swiss army knife of cool tools!
* I'm copyrighting this
plus you are an irrepressible entrepreneur and you take pride in what you build 👌
You are the most welcoming and generous of your time person of OSS. You make the other feel safe.
And damn you are an impressive developer.
You are the best. The world doesn’t deserve you 🥰
not to mention i love your sense of style and ability to put back a beer over good conversation!
love your design x data
Happy new year!
you're such fun to talk to, and a joy to build something with
and despite your experience + influence, you are so approachable
I love shelve
would love to climb together sometime!
very impressed at how you've managed to balance newsletter, maintaining docusaurus, and your consultancy work
Docusaurus is my only consulting work atm. Half newsletter, half Docusaurus 😄
You are low-key one of the funniest people I follow here.
it was a real pleasure to meet you in Toronto and I've mentioned https://blokk.li to more than one person subsequently!
you came across as a friendly, genuine person and I bet you are a real asset to the dev scene in Canada
I can only aspire to be such an asset, whether or not the dev scene here is aware of it is a different story, haha.
Here's hoping we meet again!
you’re a thoughtful and considerate developer, and i really appreciate that
That “regolith.sh” script we wrote (for “un-Bedrock”-ing a WP site) was truly one of my first collaborative open source experiences I had and it encouraged me about what’s possible when you share your ideas.
you care, and do a great deal to help others
you have a passion for welcoming and getting people involved - and challenging assumptions of frameworks
I think that's how we find better paradigms
next time I'm in nyc!
and also you appreciate even what random strangers have to say online ❤️
I've loved seeing you build stuff and share it
even if evil 😆
your opinions are good. sharp sometimes but sometimes they need to be
you make good stuff 👌
But you are very kind! Too kind perhaps. I genuinely believe the sharpness is necessary at times, it is intentional, but balance is important. I think I misjudge sometimes.
Your positivity and generosity cut through everything and I always enjoy seeing you pop up in my timeline.
Your work speaks for itself!
you are fiercely loyal to your beliefs and have rare expertise where it matters
2 days working, 5 days off
always with good takes
no idea who you are
I'm The Queen of Blades, ofc
(JavaScript is the Zerg's most used language!)
you have amazing friends, and I think that's probably because you _are_ one.
you look at the world in a profoundly humane and good and wholesome way.
but I'm hoping you got the job at pwc in the end ... 🤞
would love an excuse to work together sometime
you have a genuine goodwill and friendly approachability that I really like
you experiment - try new things, abandon old assumptions
vcs bet on people, not companies, and I'd bet on you.
and you have a great sense of fun too, paired with good insight on leadership
'scrum dad'?
it was really nice to meet you - hopefully we can do something together at some point!
I like that idea. Cheers!
... and I'm glad to hear that ❤️
you're such an effective and interesting advocate for svelte
... and it probably will eventually end up with me writing some svelte 🤣
I hope effective and interesting doesn't translate as annoying for someone lol
We should absolutely meet again and take a photo while you write svelte and I write Vue 🧡💚
I love that you have this musical strand to your bow - I think many tech folk are musical but we don't marry things up
very considered. balanced. mature.
I'd definitely reexamine an opinion on your suggestion
I think you are/will be a great dad
I appreciate all you do
you're pretty amazing
and it feels like you recently(?) hit the accelerator - maybe reaping the rewards of years of work
i love it that you’re also training others - not just creating tools but teaching what you’ve learned in the process yourself
Your work on Nuxt is nothing short of incredible. Extremely inspiring. I am glad to have stumbled upon you on Twitter, and hope to have a chance to meet in person in the future!
and likewise!
you’re definitely someone i listen to
it was really helpful
mind you, i still don’t have my first tech job so 🤷♂️😆
i think you're also one of the people who can transform personal experience of pain/difficulty into empathy. gold.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot coming from you!
always enjoy hanging out with you and I appreciate your offers of help - looking forward to seeing what next year brings
love the breadth of your skill and interest too
I think that gives you more empathy + ambition for your work
I love that
rare empathy, humour, and skill
i always have time to listen to what you have to say
(good work!)
I love how you include and welcome people
not to mention you're an impressive engineer
but it's true, isn't it?
I'm delighted you're in the nuxt ecosystem and I think you'll make a huge difference in equipping other devs to follow in your footsteps
You’re one of the nicest people in the tech ecosystem as far as I have experienced and observed from afar. Nuxt ecosystem is lucky to have you 🙌
and you speak five languages?! you must have a really remarkable perspective on the world - following ✅
Yes but not fluent in all 5 of them (arguably there is more but I don't dare to say more than 5)
also you're very non-serious and often bring a chuckle
would love to meet sometime!
(more than I originally expected before meeting you)
... and the twinkle in your eye is great 👌
I love your slight British accent even though you are from the states 😅
you're very thoughtful - humble enough to seek to learn and improve - and I think that is what will make/makes you a good leader
you always pleasantly surprise me with the level of spice you can bring to your posts
it also feels like you have such an incredible breadth of skill and interest - from the coder to the entrepreneur to the community builder
That was so nice of you (especially the hair part).
I am taking queues from you and other community builders, thanks for leading by example!
which is a great thing
you always have time to spare to look after others
people love to lift you up, and rightly
thank you
a micro optimiser
plus you have a great eye for minimal design
i think you’ll build something we’ll all use (maybe you already have)
Thanks 🙏, hopefully i will
you're making such a difference for good in the js ecosystem (and inspiring others to join in!)
also would love to meet up some time!
And for sure I'll sort a meetup out 🥳
I've seen you around for a while and it seems like your skill arc is 📈
you care for other people
a great person to grab a pint with or head to an after party
thus you transcend any particular technology - no need to worry about ai 'taking your job'
you’re also prolific - touching lots of projects and making a difference to lots of people
I really appreciate your work and also your positive online presence - thank you
Your encouraging and friendly personality is very unique in the developer community. You help not just Nuxt to grow and not just others as programmers, but you help others to become better people.
you're a great person to keep poking at what's possible
I love your focus on performance and your sense of design
I also think you have a strong sense of justice and believe in standing up for what is right - which is a rare quality ❤️
You're one of the best human beings I know over in our virtual world! Stay awesome man 🔥
you're also a great person to hang out with!
the group of us chatting afterwards was genuinely such a nice evening
you seem like someone who would be a good friend - and also useful to know in the apocalypse
you approach challenges as learning opportunities - probably why you have such a fantastic upward trajectory
(Original quote Oscar Wild)
wish you the very best this year 🙏
of the 'needs no introduction' variety
really looking forward to seeing some of the cool things you're cooking
I like your background in cognitive psychology - I bet you have a lot of valuable insight for 'tech twitter' 🔥
I love your energy and vibes
you have such incredible quality I'm always in awe
I probably also need to buy some of your courses to find out how to do it
you're a power in the industry. using your reach to stop a mistake at the react framework level 💪
you're doing great stuff and not just in the react world
thank you
Had to look up the PR 😂. But you're still 2:1 🙌
an appreciation for the good things of life (offline!)
i’d love to share a meal or a drink
I can't wait to hang with you
I feel like you've shouldered a big burden largely alone and done so with incredibly good grace
social media can be toxic but I feel you bring good things to other people on it
you are truly a remarkable community builder
without you and your inclusive, welcoming, encouraging spirit, i do not believe vite would have been successful or have the current unique feel that has driven it to such huge adoption
