Argh, Windows... The apps and windows seemingly random behavior opening and moving between monitors. *annoyed sigh*

I am the destroyer of useEffect. I ruthlessly cull the many instances in each component I touch. Also, please stop. I have enough on my hands making certain the node_module black hole doesn't kill us first.

I probably don't talk about it enough, but we made a package to help in building up a changelog and handling releases. We made it for @tauri.app as we needed to release multiple Rust crates and JavaScript npm packages all from the same repo, coordinated. github.com/jbolda/covec...

Went (indoor) rock climbing for the first time in probably more than a decade. Pretty certain I blacked out on the way out and got hit by a truck because oh my do I hurt... Brought the kiddos along though and they enjoyed it 😁

Looking through the TODO list and seeing those entries from 2022 🫠

There are a lot of incredibly talented people on the job market right now. Many of my friends in DevRel, OSPO, program management, and engineering are looking for their next role, some have been searching for months. If you’re hiring, please consider sharing a link to your open roles below. TY ❤️

It baffles me the number of things that appear in my head, but promptly disappear before I can even add it to the TODO list.

This tracks...

The ecosystem is coming along! Looking forward to try out more local-first libraries, and this is a great reference for it.

Surprise — we’re turning 20 later this year. We've impacted millions of users and 300K+ developers—from startups to enterprises to OSS. We never chased the spotlight, just the hardest problems— and after 20 years, boy, do we have stories. 😅 Follow along at #Frontside20

Less than 40 hours for this stream! Excited to explore more alternative rendering options in @tauri.app. Looking at chromium with Bill! www.youtube.com/live/6SO_hRD...

I added home row mods on my split keyboard weeks ago. And... have yet to actually try them.

I reread through the docs again this weekend, and saw a note about `--force`. That actually seems to work relatively well. I spun up a POC that I had been meaning to do. Made some changes in `node_modules`, stopped and started the server with `vite --force`, and did that for every change.

What is the vibe on `patch-package` or equivalent within Vite? It seems like it is still an expected use case, but with all the caching, it is rather difficult to muck around in `node_modules` to test things out. I feel like there is a flag or something that I am missing to improve that workflow.

Catching up on all of the DMs and messages today, and prepared to be overwhelmed tomorrow. 🙃 I suppose that is better than the alternative of forgetting about and accidentally ignoring folks! (Which if I have, sorry!)

the doge teens destroying the general services administration's magnetic tape backups because they think it's like a vhs of aladdin 2: the return of jafar might be the niche thing that kills me
