What if you could execute a @nodejs.org package without ever unzipping it? What if npm had no central server, just a peer-to-peer mesh with cryptographic integrity baked in?

Nice to see Sentry investing in TracingChannel so we can eliminate monkey-patches. 🎉

What features for sequins.dev should I work on this weekend? A Linux app, maybe? What do folks think a local-first Observability platform needs?

I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

Seems to me like “posts” is more a higher ranking taxonomic classification which groups “bleets” and “skeets” together, each describing more nuanced varieties of post. Further research is required to clarify what makes a post a bleet or a skeet. 🤔

I’ve got a Saturday in Barcelona and instead of being a tourist like a normal person I’m building a Redis-like thing for fun. I’m a huge nerd. 😅

Had a chat with @stephenbelanger.com about the import-in-the-middle library, and his team’s recent donation of it to the Node.js Org. We also discussed choosing Observability tools for node-apps, and the current state of performance in node itself. Enjoy! 📄: opensource.datadoghq.com/projects/node/
