After some time, I am back with a new video: "My #Angular Stack in 2026."
I’ve taken a more opinionated stance on tools and on AI.
Let me know where you agree and where you disagree!

#AI #Frontend
And it seems I am not the only one with that opinion. Here's @younesjd.dev with his take on Vitest & Co.

Clarifying my chat with @brandonroberts: Analog is a NECESSITY for serious Angular testing.
Why?
✅ Full Vitest ecosystem (plugins/IDE support).
✅ No lock-in: Keep CLI for builds, use Analog for tests.
✅ It's the standard: Angular's Vitest move validates this path.
#Angular #Vitest
👋 @vitest.dev Browser Mode for #Angular is not just a switch — but a different recipe 😉
Let's dive into what's cooking under the hood:
⚙️ How it works (Vitest vs Playwright roles)
🌓 "Partial" vs. 🌕 "Full" Browser Mode
🔌 APIs: userEvent vs. page
🪜 Progressive migration

#testing
To avoid misunderstanding. Zoneless doesn't need OnPush, but for a safe migration from zone to zoneless, OnPush was and is a de facto "requirement"/best practice.
There's an RFC to make #Angular change detection OnPush by default. The "default" value will be renamed to Eager.
Given that OnPush is required for safe zoneless apps this is just a logical step.
Existing codebases will get an explicit Eager setting.

With the switch to #Vitest, there are many questions about modern testing in #Angular.
First, slides of my talk last week at Angular London.
For a much more intensive experience, our testing workshop goes all-in on Vitest. Happening in two weeks.

The latest version of the toolkit (community project) for #NgRx supports the
- long-awaited events integration into the devtools
- a safer resource integration (non-error throwing),
- and more (like improved redo/undo)

This was my second appearance on The #Angular Plus Show, and I really enjoyed the conversation I had with @laranewsom.com on Signal Forms. Always a great time!
Since it is an online meetup, I am pretty sure it will stay available online
My last talk this year will be a special one.
Together with @manfredsteyer.bsky.social, I’ll look back at 2025 and chat about the highlights of the year.
It’s less a classic talk and more two buddies having a public conversation about #Angular.
The meetup is remote.

🧵 Did you know? Angular 21 replaces Karma with Vitest — and this changes some essential details.
Here are the 5 key things you should know 👇 1/6
Well thanks, but I would bet a lot on the episode about Signal Forms.
Last-minute advertising: We’re running a Black Friday offer for the SignalStore Workshop by AngularArchitects
Already next week in the early afternoon (Europe TZ).
Perfect to dive into State Management patterns before the year ends.

Two speakers smile for a selfie on stage in front of a large, cheerful audience seated in rows inside a bright hall with arched walls and pink lighting. The crowd, many wearing conference badges, waves and makes peace signs toward the camera. A strong light beam shines from the back of the room, creating a radiant atmosphere.
Many thanks to the lovely #ngdeconf crowd for the warm welcome and the enthusiasm about @testronaut!
Special thanks to @jeanmeche.com for being the perfect accomplice while @rainerhahnekamp.bsky.social and I cooked up some trouble together. 😉
Stay tuned 📻

In today’s episode of “Complicated things explained simply” 😅 – @eneajaho.me breaks down why JSX in #Angular wouldn’t be the same as in #React.
Clear. Precise. Just three sentences - and you get it. 👏
Highly recommend taking a look:

Keeping up with the rapid pace of #AI is tough. I went from VSCode to a #Cursor license, moved on to #ClaudeCode, and now I'm back on Cursor - this time with #ChatGPT 5. What’s next, #Gemini 3?
At least the light theme lives on. Imagine someone invents a "dark mode". God forbid 😅
