Finished "easy" version of Mina the Hollower, 18 hours of fun game play but got only 60% of the objects. Next step, new game with no modifiers !

Just published a new version of punyexpr : it now support hooks to modify the way the expression is evaluated. I need it for... reasons :-D www.npmjs.com/package/puny...

What’s amazing with AI is that I have tons of ideas but not so much time. With the help of LLMs I can go beyond my time constraints and develop way more than before !

I was today's old when I learned about this Node.js error : Warning: Detected unsettled top-level await Playing with streams & async iterator on a stream that does not end is a bad idea !

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Playing a bit with vibe coding and testing agents. It's funny to see how a specification you hope to be clear can be interpreted differently by the models. I end up writing ASCII wireframes to "fix" the look of the UI. I would like to apologize to PO & UX people I worked with... now I feel the pain.

Had some fun this week end… it’s been a while I didn’t play with LEGOs but my heart melted when I saw this set !

Got my first test report out of ui5-test-runner@6... Still a long way to go through but this first milestone is exciting

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Now I am questioning myself about which game I should play next ? I am looking into the Suikoden I & II remasters on switch or maybe one of the Dragon Quests ones. Any opinion ?

Finished the « bad » ending of hollow knight. 38 hours, 84%. What a ride !

Working with Node.js' WorkerThreads, I learned few useful lessons: * Only the main thread has access to process signals and native stdout * As a consequence, not all packages are designed to be executed in a WorkerThread 1/2

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

These days, most ui5-test-runner problems I hear of are related to the execution being stuck without any explanation... This is a real pain to detect and troubleshoot in the current version. Version 6 will address this very specific issue using a different approach !

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Useless? absolutely But I had to do it... new logo for the runner themed with UI5 colors.

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Forget about ts-node or tsx, Node.js 24 provides convenient ways to execute "natively" TypeScript, see nodejs.org/api/module.h...

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

I am looking for a code name for the next version of ui5-test-runner. My hope is to go with "FTL" but "FTK" (Faster Than Karma) will also do it ;-)

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

Wouhou ! I created a multithreaded logger in Node.js... The goal ? * free up bandwidth for CPU intensive tasks, * have a synchronous (hence thread blocking) compressed (hence CPU intensive) trace storage, * implement a nice console output which does not block other threads. was a fun ride !

Playing with Node.js threads (i.e. Worker)... It's a brand new world...

It’s a big responsibility when you decide to completely rewrite a component. Yet, I take this opportunity to improve all the little details that were bugging me over the last 5 years. It will take time but it should be rewarding.

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

More than 80 different options for the ui5-test-runner command line. Quite some work to clean the mess and make it maintainable...

I like refactoring: this is an opportunity to rewrite with the knowledge of all the faced challenges. Yet, this feels like a huge mountain to climb.

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Sometimes I feel like when I want to ask a question to the LLM, I spend so much effort to formulate it the right way that I almost get the answer by myself...

Tried to create a simple command line app with GEMINI to validate an idea... A bit disappointed (some mistakes) but got it to work. It certainly saved me a bit of time...

Using compression (& decompression stream) I was able to reduce the HUGE html report (168 MB) down to 9 MB... and it loads fine (& fast) in the browser !

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

So... you can actually decompress content inside a web page. Today I learned about DecompressionStream : developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

developer.mozilla.org

DecompressionStream - Web APIs | MDN

The DecompressionStream interface of the Compression Streams API is an API for decompressing a stream of data.

Got it, trying to open a 168 MB HTML report is not a good idea...

OK QUnit is old... but it is good ! Believe it or not but I am currently mapping jest APIs to QUnit... and it works !

From 6 min to 4 min with a simple trick... Sometimes optimization really feels great !

2 hours to enable my apple device on my Windows 11... I had to extract drivers from an old version of iTunes to make it work... Just why ?!?

Working on automating OpenUI5 existing tests with ui5-test-runner (since karma is no more maintained). Some metrics on sap.ui.core tests : - 600+ unit tests - 17 minutes to execute (10 parallel executions) - 29+ tests failing (need to check) - A 172 MB HTML report (!) Room for improvement !

Arnaud Buchholz @abubuhh.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Something big is coming soon to ui5-test-runner... I never thought I would be able to achieve a bridge between jest and QUnit. The reality is that both JavaScript and QUnit are powerful tools.

Learning about meta programming: a programming technique where programs manipulate or generate other programs as data. That’s what I am doing !

I am currently working with Abstract Syntax Tree to manipulate JavaScript code... I feel like a surgeon trying to transplant an organ : tricky but fun !

I don't know why it happens now but I like the trend !

Just updated punyexpr, it now exposes types definition and can be used in a CommonJS or ESM project. arnaudbuchholz.github.io/punyexpr/sam...
