It was two days of sharing knowledge, answering questions, and identifying areas for improvement.

This quiz uses V8's Date parser to demonstrate that the JS Date spec is unintuitive in many ways.

Thankfully work has been underway to fix this for several years πŸ‘

Temporal is the replacement for the Date API. It shipped in Firefox 127 in May 2025 πŸš€

Yep, @atinux.com came by in October, and now @thealexlichter.com is partnering with us to bridge @nuxt.com with fairly big projects like the @backmarketofficial.bsky.social web platform.

We can't be in a better place!

I regularly encounter two limitations with Nuxt's useAsyncData: it lacks reactive caching keys, and it's prone to request cascading since you need to await useAsyncData to block navigation during the request.

And... I think there's some very good news recently ✨🧡

An official package to handle RSC in Vite is a cool news! I assume this will make it easier for new Vite-based React frameworks to appear.

Building Windsurf with Varun Mohan YouTube video by The Pragmatic Engineer

Interesting interview with Varun Mohan, CEO of Windsurf. It is very technical, discussing the challenge of code LLMs that need to β€œfill in the middle” and how they evaluate models automatically. He also shares his take on what the future looks like for software engineers.

"migrate all systems off COBOL quickly" is a funny concept. If it were possible without breaking anything, it would probably have been done already.
