Big week: we officially moved into our new NY office 🗽 Now the fun part begins. I'm starting to build our engineering team from the ground up, and we're looking for talented software engineers who get excited about hard problems, tight loops, and shipping real things fast.

Introducing TanStack Hotkeys! Setting up keyboard shortcuts is supposed to be easy and only take a few lines of code, right? Well, there are enough small "gotchas" that can eventually add up to an annoying amount of complexity. TanStack Hotkeys aims to simplify the edge cases and bring type-safety

Lately I’ve been more aware of how much of engineering is decided before the code exists. It's shaped by things like the questions we ask or any assumptions we make. Even the tradeoffs that we don't really write down...

I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!

If you want to support Astro, one of the best ways is to hire the people behind it. There are amazing people on the core team looking for work right now—like me! You get a talented engineer on your team, and give them the sustainability to keep improving Astro for everyone.

Using AI felt clunky whenever I reached for it. I’d tweak prompts, add guardrails, repeat myself, and things still felt brittle. Prompts got longer, outputs varied, and it was hard to tell what actually caused a failure. What helped was realizing I was using prompts as a configuration system.

I was not aware of bags until today, but apparently there is also a TanStack coin. It goes without saying that TanStack has nothing to do with it, will not claim any money and does not endorse buying this! If you want to support open source, that's great, but not like this!

I'm really hoping this show of support for tailwind and such isn't just some temporary, performative thing but something that marks a shift for more support to OSS. It's great to see companies (and people) stepping up, but if it's not a long-term thing, it's not worth anything.

Sarah™️ @ladybluenotes.dev · 08/01/2026

it sucks that everyone defaults to thinking something is from AI. feels like we’re in the era of “AI til proven otherwise” which basically discounts everything people do

The Tailwind situation is a tough reminder: Sustaining high-quality OSS is incredibly hard when your focus is purely on making the open source part better, without a SaaS/business layer to fund it. AI accelerates that pressure by reducing doc traffic and paid conversions.
