Thanks to the constant reminders by our @e18e.dev friends, we just halved Babel's install size :) (note: due to how npmx.dev computes package size, if you look at it now it looks like the improvement was already in 8.0.0)

Firefox 155 is out (Sept 1) 🦊 I contributed to the await dictionary proposal: Promise.allKeyed and Promise.allSettledKeyed, an object of promises now resolves to an object of results. Thanks to Mozilla engineers Arai and Daniel for their guidance. #Firefox #JavaScript

I'm opening up 5-10 hours a week to work with folks on consulting, DevRel, content, speaking, open source strategy, and team training. If any of that sounds like something your team needs, let's connect: santoshyadav.dev/work-with-me/

(mu.social is a bluesky client with an edit button :P)

mu.social

And the problem is specifically people, not tools. The tools by themselves sit there doing nothing, somebody must use them to do harm.

The main threat is people being completely irresponsible and just spamming maintianers leading them to burnout, which now requires very low effort to do thanks to the LLMs they have access to. And that's not even their goal! They just don't want to spend any effort into educating themselves.

That picture is obviously a slide without context, but in that talk I explicitly mentioned that I myself am a user of LLM tools, ans that they do help me with maintainance.

So, which one of you just turned on a cache *again*?

Vite downloads count, showing a 30% drop in the last two weeks

Babel downloads count, showing a 30% drop in the last two weeks

Rect downloads count, showing a 30% drop in the last two weeks

I have been using both Codex and Claude to reduce this over the three days.

I have been working for three days on creating a minimal reproduction for another Rolldown chunking bug... So far I got it down down from a 300-modules test case to a 50-modules one 😅

mu.social works as well/badly as the main Bluesky app, but it allows you to have a little companion cat/fox/dog at the bottom of your screen

It's worth posting it here just in case, to avoid the "yes" "here is the number" back-and-forth :)

Nicolò Ribaudo @nicr.dev · 18/08/2026

The username is @gameroman; @rman.dev do you have the ticket number? :)

could someone at GitHub help us out unsuspending an account? 👀 seems Roman has been nuked so a whole truck load of e18e issues/changes have gone missing

The sixth Italian dude I talked with talked with their colleagues about how to solve my problem, and their conclusion was that I needed to talk with my *domain registrar* to get my email address unblocked from their servers so that then I could use it to cancel the reservation.

So the underlying problem was the Italians, a people whose goal is to make everybody's life impossible through useless procedural requests and whose willingness to be useful on their job is zero. I called the German customer service and the problem was fixed in one minute.

Thanks for sharing your experience there :) I'm indeed hoping it will just make it easier to close PRs without feeling bad for the fraction of a human that's behind them.

The code was medium quality, the description bad. Even if they were good, they can go maintain their agentic fork or whatever.

No, the problem is people not giving a fuck about anything other than their contribution stats

I ended up being too curious and googling it, it makes me hopeful to see that there are doctors that trick the system to get trans people the healthcare that they need.

I miss when open source was about collaborating with strangers online and having fun together.
