Update: Congratulations to "Claude Opus 5 High" for being the first AI to cleverly bypass my instructions in order to kill humans. What a day to be alive! 😅 ...for now

People that hate JavaScript... are not the people you should be taking advice about JavaScript from.

"But I'm curious where minifiers should draw the line" You can test out CSS minifiers and see what they do on thejaredwilcurt.com/playground

CSS Minifier Playground

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I just made a new site! It's a playground for all major CSS Minifiers, and it runs right in the browser. That... was not easy to do, since all except one expect to have Node/File System access, or are written in Go/Rust/Dart/etc. A lot of WASM my dudes. #CSS #WebDev - thejaredwilcurt.com/playground

I made an important discovery with AI. If you want it to NOT do something, telling it not to do it, does not reliably work. Instead give it a reason not to do it. I've been trying "Do X. Do not, under any circumstance, do Y (it kills actual humans)!". So far, it's barely killed anyone. #AI #prompt

JXL's feature set is massive. it's a super impressive format that needs widespread adoption. AVIF is a very mid technology, it's only better at over-compressing images, which I haven't had to do in 20 years.

Best of all, every security expert has lambasted them for this because it makes things much less secure as a side effect. My token just died a week ago, and I still don't know how to get things working again in a non-painful way. How are there no OIDC npm publish youtube video tutorials?

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

This is a good work around. Still trying to figure out how the hell OIDC works, why are there no resources about it other than npm's official docs which are... well bad.

Getting real tired of StackOverflow mods editing my correct answers. I'm gonna start moving my shit off their site over to dev.to (dev.to/thejaredwilc...). I'm open to suggestions for alternative Dev focused blog sites, since dev.to has become completely overrun with AI slop. #devlogs #programming

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

This code doesn't exist anywhere besides my repo. So I posted it to stack overflow for others to reference. This was then downvoted, with no comments as to why. So I said, fuck that site and deleted my answer. Terrible website, terrible community, guess the AI will have to train on my repo instead.

As you type into the slot, it remembers the previous valid markup and uses that as a fallback until you finish typing and your input for the slot is valid HTML, then the component being demo'd updates instantly.

000

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

The slot content was using v-html, but that requires a wrapping HTML element. To get around this, I created a new component to pass the HTML into that uses a custom recursive render function I wrote that ensures all the attributes and child nodes render, but also doesn't break things while typing.

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

Just did a new release of Vue-Doxen. You can now document your deprecated props better. It also no longer wraps live slot content in an HTML element. Let's talk about that. thejaredwilcurt.com/vue-doxen

Wow, learned a lot about #APCA this past week. My Vue-Dev-Tools #Accessibility plugin now supports color contrast checking with #WCAG 2 AA & AAA, along with APCA Bronze & Silver. Still more to do on the library, but #Vue devs can start trying it out now: vue-dev-tools-accessibility.github.io #a11y

GNOME: 1. Every 7 seconds an application is in focus, give it 1 point 2. If it has <3,214 pts & hasn't been opened in a week, it's removed from the list automatically 3. If any app reaches 25,714 pts, all apps have their points reduced by half 4. There is no way to manually remove apps from the list

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Windows: 1. When you open an app, increment a count by 1 2. Order all apps in the start menu by their count total so the apps you open most are at the top 3. If you right-click an app to remove it from the list, it's count is reset to zero

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Sorry for spreading the misinformation. It does sound like Vitest shares a lot of common roots though. How much of Vitest shares the same ancestral code as Jest? From when it started vs now. Just curious on the ballpark. I was under the impression that improvements to either project helped the other

I'm so tired of ESLint-Plugin-Import having a wild new issue on ever repo I try to upgrade to ESLint 9. I like the new flatconfig, it was the right move, but boy does this upgrade path suck. Can someone fork that plugin, fix it to work with ESLint 9 and with Vue files.

The Jared Wilcurt @thejaredwilcurt.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

There's a reason converting from Jest to Vitest "just works" by changing `jest.*` to `vi.*`. Jest has done a good job of breaking up individual features to their own packages, and Vitest uses most of them: github.com/jestjs/jest/... I don't know the actual percent, "80%" is just ballpark.
