Awesome! I was getting crazy. What’s the way I can debug such issues?

Awesome! Big fan, using it for all projects, OSS, and the company.

Agreed. The downside is that more ICs are increasingly working on their own, without sharing their experiments and discoveries with the team. It is almost like the thinking is that now I can do everything by myself, deliver K lines of code, and no longer care about team. I do not like it.

I am so fucking excited to attend this event!

I have the same impression. And every model has its own template, and I can already almost always recognize the specific model by the patterns in the generated texts. It is getting boring.

I would write on it “Aggiungi un artefatto con X/X” considering your OSS activity. Love this. 🤗

Understandable! Using Coding Agents helps raise confidence, though. Making the code changes is a minimal part of the process, and it is the most delicate one for sure.

100 times this! I’ve never been more empowered to refactor a large codebase with confidence

This is by far the best issue of your newsletter to date. Even if I am biased because I 100% agree with you, I still think that the arguments you use make sense to those who have the opposite view.

You mean the compiler's source code? 🌝

🎉 Author copies are in! 📚 Holding the 4th edition of “Node.js Design Patterns” never gets old. Months of work turned into something I can touch, and hopefully a guide to help you level up with Node.js.

Same grade of confusion.

Oh! This is amazing. I am still working with Claude Code opus/sonnet, and I do not need to try something different.

Another banger from Marvin on performance wins in the JS ecosystem 🔥 The theme across the series is that orders-of-magnitude wins are often sitting in plain sight purely from eliminating duplicate work & improving algorithms. These are language-agnostic principles.

I have been reading your posts about the LLMs for a few days, and I share your vision and concerns. I also agree with this midterm vision: “It is too early to go all-in and rely solely on th AI.”

I predict the AI bubble will pop in way similar to how Google products did in the 2010s. They were "too good to be for free", and eventually advertisements kicked in. Product quality stagnated (just marginal improvements), while monetization ramped up a lot, e.g. ads on YouTube.

This new human-AI interaction was transformative for me. My productivity skyrocketed, and the AI outputs started to be predictable. I might adjust the tone of my writing to be more about vibe coding -> structured interaction, and still publish it.

I was writing a blog post about how I started using Claude Code effectively a few months ago. Then I read this from you, and you used the same “persona” concept I have. Then, I checked your blog and found humanwhocodes.com/blog/2025/06... I guess my post already exists :)

I definitely agree with you, but not everyone agrees with us. 😔

We should complete the migration in the next few weeks and put it in prod on a big internal monorepo. I will end up writing something for sure. I also have a name for the references/starter: “monorepo amara” XD

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 09/06/2025

I discovered this feature by chance and went to update the readme. It is a killer feature for Nofe.js monorepos. If I find some spare time, I will create a reference repository to show the whole workflow.

AST based V8 code coverage is finally here! I thought of this feature first time over 2 years ago, but knew it would require so much work that I couldn't finish it by working on Vitest just on weekends. Ever since @stackblitz.com hired me to work on Vitest I knew I could finish features like this.

I reviewed this edition, and what was already a must-read book is now a mandatory read. I highly recommend it to seasoned developers as well.

📘 The new edition of Node.js Design Patterns is coming soon! After 9 months of hard work with Mario Casciaro, we're finally ready to share what’s next for one of the most loved Node.js books. But this is not “just another edition”...

Is it FE, BE or both? Depending on it, you have different options.

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 23/05/2025

Again, there is a way to generate correct releases and change histories, but I get your point, and I share the struggle (but not the hate :))

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 23/05/2025

You can point the npmjs link directly to the correct package in the monorepo, and that package is effectively what is published. The issue you are describing is misconfiguration on the repository field in the package.json 🤷‍♂️

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 19/05/2025

I noted the same. But I am also sure this wasn't the case with the “dumber” models from 1-2 years ago.

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 17/05/2025

I updated fastify and its dependencies to 5.x.x in our private monorepo. Buttery smooth. If you need to do the same, follow fastify.io/docs/latest/..., and you’ll be covered!

Node.js has had support for running TypeScript directly since v22.6.0. I’ve been wondering what a minimal Node.js with TypeScript starter project might look like. Here’s my first shot at what I think might work for me. And it's my first blog post in over 2 years! simonplend.com/blog/a-node-...

I think that the recommendation was more about not using top-level awaits, making the module async first. Yes, you are right: it works in *all* cases.

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 03/05/2025

It definitely is. Just bump a major. It is a solid reason for bumping.

Maksim Sinik @maksim.dev · 03/05/2025

Yeah, I am subscribed, so it is literally a problem of “finding time.”
