Terminal output of Vitest's test run results. The results contain error message of asynchronous resource leaking. Code block pointing to a fetch call that is missing await.

In the next version of Vitest you can track leaking asynchronous resources via `--detect-async-leaks` option! Available in v4.1.0-beta.4 release. 🔍
(notice missing await in the example)

Just discovered "Annotator", a Linux app to annotate screenshots... actually THE Linux app I'd been looking for for many years. Super sleak, does the job.

We added a fixer for unused imports to no-unused-vars! By default it's a suggestion fixer - but you can swap it to an autofixer (for autofix-on-save or --fix).

Please try it out today!

Holy moly! 😱

Your TypeScript year in review

You "silenced" 417 errors with `as any` that turned into runtime errors as soon as the code ran

TypeScript printed 4,693 error messages. 26 of them made sense

You spent 98 minutes waiting for tsc to run. During this time you spent 544 minutes reading social media

I understand they can charge a fee to connect to your runner, but 0.002 USD/minute... that's 0.12 USD/hour. It's HUGE! A t3.xlarge instance at AWS (4 CPU, 16GB RAM) costs 0.16 USD/hour. The fee is almost as pricey as the machine itself!!! (or way more pricey if you host your runner at Hetzner !) 😱🤯

The Inevitable Evolution of the Developer Role For years, being a good developer meant one thing above all else: writing good code.

Je viens de publier un article sur l’évolution du métier de dev, cela fais suites à quelques réflexions que j’ai eu après des discussions sur ce sujet.

Hey! Look at the bright side! At least, no SQL injection. Legacy code is code that survived 😋.
And you are so lucky not to have an infamous "each()" call in there 🤣

Progress on TypeScript 7 - December 2025 - TypeScript Earlier this year, the TypeScript team announced that we’ve been porting the compiler and language service to native code to take advantage of better raw performance, memory usage, and parallelism. Th...

- can type-check any project
- supports --build and --incremental
- has rich editor features implemented
- is still 10x faster

and is ready for you to try today!

How Chrome 142+ broke the local scripting workflow and how we fixed it | WorkAdventure Chrome 142 introduced new protections against local network attacks. For most apps, that change is barely noticeable. For us, it broke a very specific, very common local development workflow.

Chrome 142 introduced a breaking change in the way to handles content coming from localhost. It turns out I'm relying a lot on this with WorkAdventure (to run local map test servers).

It took most of my time last week, so I wrote a blog post to share the knowledge!

My boomer trait is that I think it's ridiculous that I have to create an account for a corporation to play a video game I've already bought and installed on a separate platform.

Today is Red Dead and Rockstar on steam.

Before that it was AC Valhalla and Ubisoft on PS5.

It's bullshit

Strengthening npm security: Important changes to authentication and token management - GitHub Changelog As part of our ongoing commitment to securing the npm ecosystem, we’re implementing the first phase of security improvements outlined in our recent announcement. These changes will roll out over…

The npm portal has revamped its user authentication tokens.

New tokens will have a default life of seven days (instead of 30), which can be updated to a maximum lifespan of 90 days (previously unlimited).

The changes are going live this month.

If you do, I wonder how quick the agents will take to use this setting natively! That could give a good idea on the time they take to refresh the models 🤔

An altered version of the XKCD's Compiling strip: Title: "The #1 programmer excuse for legitimately slacking off" We can see a corridor, a door leading to an office on the left, from inside this room, someone is saying "Hey! Get back to work!". Two people are in the corridor, playing with office chairs and swords, and one of them answers "AI is coding". The first person from inside the office answers back "Oh. Carry on."

I don't know if it's been made already, but here it is.

True. In that regard, Javascript really cares about backward compatibility more than any other language ("don't break the web!"), but the ecosystem around Javascript really can't be ignored.

Just spent the last 3 days fixing code after a "npm update" on minor versions. The last one was maybe one year ago.
The JS ecosystem is just dreadful.
