So I've been away for 3 weeks and came back to AI ads in my editor now? 🫥

Hello friends and welcome to a new “How is ESM vs CJS going!” 33.4% of the popular packages on npm now includes ESM. Up from 29.6% half a year ago. We have a third! ESM-only is up from 11.5% to 12.6%. This is also the impact of half a year of Node 18 being EOL, making `require(esm)` available

Merged! Vitest 4.0.14 includes a new tabbed view and slider for visual regression reports 🎉 This feature required a lot of work under the hood, including the creation of the new test artifacts API. Really curious to see how it'll be used by us and the ecosystem 👀

Been experimenting with a type-safe, function-based, framework-agnostic form generator and it feels… weirdly nice to use?

Code snippet defining a form using a function-based form builder. Inside a `stack` layout, it inserts a reusable `addressForm` for the shipping address, adds a `sameAsShipping` checkbox, and uses a `when` conditional to show another `addressForm` for billing only when `sameAsShipping` is false.

Wrote about how our testing strategy evolved to include visual regression testing and how we can generate hundreds of tests in a handful of lines of code Spoiler: turns out high school math can be useful after all 😶‍🌫️ macarie.me/writing/when...

When Manual Testing Becomes Unsustainable · Raul Macarie

At some point, checking every visual variant by hand becomes impossible. This is about that turning point, and what came after.

Potentially coming to a @vitest.dev browser mode report near you 👀 New view for visual regression testing failures with tabs for: - diff, reference, and actual screenshots - slider to compare reference vs actual (before/after style)

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

Totally missed this 🙃 Proud to have helped bring visual regression testing to a tool I use daily, and even more so because it started from something I needed as a user 🙌🏼 And thanks to @erus.dev for the support along the way 💚

Biome's been a huge win for my team - hands down the highest ROI tool I've used! So happy to finally see plugins and type-aware rules land in stable 🥹

Bought Timberborn just over a week ago, and I’m already 68 hours deep. Send help — this game is too addicting 🫣
