Have you heard of Ralph Wiggum loops? Have you used them?
We cover their bizarre brilliance in @front-end-fire.com this week, along with npm’s staged publishing proposal and Vercel’s AI-driven UI tool. As always, it's a fun, interesting look at the latest in web dev.
In our first @front-end-fire.com episode of 2026, we cover how AI’s impact on OSS gets real as Tailwind lays off 75% of its team, if folks are leaving Next.js for TanStack Start, and the libraries getting the most love on GitHub according to the JavaScript Rising Stars report.
In our final episode of @front-end-fire.com for 2025, we look back at our past web dev takes, debate AI agents, SolidJS, outages & supply chain chaos, and wrap it all up with what kept us sane and happy this year.
The holiday episode is LIVE 🎁
RSC security is still a mess, Anthropic gives MCP to the Agentic AI Foundation, and CSS Wrapped 2025 is packed with upgrades devs are already hyped for.
We break it all down on this week's @front-end-fire.com.
Good reminder whenever I think “oh I’ll just make one quick change to that repo I haven’t touched in years”
Anthropic bought Bun (?!), TanStack joins the AI wars, security melted down with Shai-Hulud 2.0 on npm + a big React Server Component vulnerability exposed.
The new episode of @front-end-fire.com covers all the chaos!
AI IDEs, Tailwind for RN, and Rust getting booted?!
In this episode of @front-end-fire.com, Google launches the Antigravity IDE, React Native devs get Tailwind-style classes, and Prisma 7 goes all-in on TypeScript, dropping Rust.
🔒 CI your npm publishes with confidence: in my blog, I show how to use GitHub Actions + reusable workflows to deploy to both beta & prod, and authenticate via OIDC (no more exposed npm tokens).
