JTW Blogs - CodeCabin26 When I first learned about CodeCabin, I was intrigued by the idea of an "unconference" as CodeCabin is described. Don't get me wrong - I love a good tech conference and you can't beat Codegarden as far as conferences go, but one of the things I don't like about tech conferences is how exhausted and overwhelmed I feel afterward. Enter CodeCabin!

Jen shares her amazing journey with us about what takes someone from attending CODECABIN to taking the deep dive into organizing it for 2026.

Follow along with her experience, and don't forget to apply - the deadline is in only a few days!

New Year, New Perspectives: The Importance of Togetherness A new year has a funny way of inviting reflection. December often finds us looking back at the path we’ve taken, evaluating what worked, what didn't, and what we hope looks different twelve months…

New years are full of new perspectives! Allen looks at how we reflect on the past year and how important community is - and retreats like CODECABIN are - in forwarding us towards our goals.

Inspired? Come to CODECABIN this March! Only SIX DAYS before applications close!

npm Author Qix Compromised via Phishing Email in Major Suppl... npm author Qix’s account was compromised, with malicious versions of popular packages like chalk-template, color-convert, and strip-ansi published.

A number of popular npm packages have been compromised and malicious versions published. Most of these have been removed from the registry. Astro indirectly depends on one that hasn't, so we have published 5.13.6 that pins a safe version.
