Join at Ludovico Besana at #WMF2025 to explore strategies and tools for testing LLM-based applications, from designing robust prompts to handling non-deterministic output to validating bias and silent failures. An essential toolkit for those who want to put reliability back at the heart of AI ✨

In case you missed it, we published a book about using Node.js in enterprise, covering: ‣Node's history ‣Fastify ‣SSR frontends ‣Configurations ‣How to structure large apps ‣Running Node in the cloud ‣Building scalable and resilient apps Read it, for free ➡️ www.platformatichq.com/reports/the-...

LLMs are just extremely lossy and inefficient compression algorithms

Did you know that since Node.js v20, you no longer need to install third-party test runners? The built-in #Nodejs test runner simplifies setup, reduces dependencies, and eliminates common pain points like false negatives and inconsistent assertions. Read more >> www.nearform.com/digital-comm...

Why the hell JavaScript Error doesn’t have a .toJSON() method by default? 🤷‍♂️

Testing isn’t a final step—it’s part of every stage. Refinement, development, and code reviews all contribute to quality. Do we still need a separate testing column? #SoftwareQuality #DevOps www.nearform.com/digital-comm...

I don’t really understand why people want a VC backed company to win against an open governed OSS project run by volunteers. I guess people fail to understand that if the company win, they will extract their value.

Accessibility isn’t something you can easily just “bolt on.” It takes thoughtful planning, tools, and testing to get it right. That’s why we’ve reimagined #ReactNative AMA to make accessibility-first development easier than ever. 📖 Read more in our lastest post >> https://buff.ly/3E2rPnZ

Is there an alternative to the MoonBoard official app? Maybe an open source one? #bulder #moonboard

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle. We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal. It's time to #FreeJavaScript. deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

Pro tip: Not every problem is begging for more code. Hands off the keyboard! 😉

Looking to dive into the Hugging Face ecosystem! Any great resources on using their open-source tools, integrating with TensorFlow, or combining with the Node.js ecosystem? #MachineLearning #AI #Nodejs #HuggingFace

All you really need is a way to group and store variables, and a method to re-use logic. The rest is just legacy code waiting to happen.

Climbing is the natural coadjuvant activity of programming.

There are tons of little ways to make little bits of money. Don’t get sucked into this. Introducing money impacts your relationships and people start to feel entitled to more of you and your time. Determine what it is you make your money doing. Do other activities for free or not at all.
