This happens almost every time when I use ChatGPT. Hydration is hard but if you allow inputs "before JavaScript" you better get it right! If you can’t, just don’t allow me to input anything. I’ll take that loading spinner over this experience all day any day ...

A workshop photo has spawned in my inbox. Thank you @kevinvancott.dev 🙏

Dominik giving his workshop, the big screen is split between a browser and an IDE. The TanStack Devtools are a the bottom right of the left half. It looks like Dominik explains something. There are at least 10 heads visible that listen to him.

@zurichjs.com was so special I can't put it in words. You have to experience the care, love and detail the organizers put into it first hand, hopefully in the NEXT edition of it 🔥

My wife also enjoyed the conf and she isn't even in tech! To quote her: "I understand the words, but the sentences make no sense to me" 😂 This was also the first time she travelled with me to a conf but @zurichjs.com left such a good impression that it hopefully won't be the last 🫶

🧗 Before we headed to the airport, @danielroe.dev took us bouldering. I think this is the only proven way to stop him from talking about taking us all bouldering 😂. We had fun (I wasn't very good at it):

In other news, @zurichjs.com was also the biggest ever gathering of @tanstack.com maintainers. We even managed to wake Harry up and take a proper picture 😂

Next day, the main event: @zurichjs.com conf 🔥. I didn't take many pictures because I was enjoying the conf so much, but as always, I was taking a picture of the lovely audience before my talk:

Then, off to the speaker dinner. Look at all these lovely people: speakers, organizers, panelists, MCs and their plus ones. We also did some bowling afterwards. I wasn't very good at it

In the afternoon, the ZurichJs Chill 5k run happened, with (amongst others) @tobbe.dev @mkrl.xyz @kevinvancott.dev @chudy.me and of course the amazing @jyc.dev. It was more than 5k 😂

On the next day, I was giving my workshop "React Query Beyond the Basics" to a beautiful group of 16 people. Sadly, I didn't take any photos, BUT there was @tanstack.com branded chocolate for everyone. Don't ask why it's the old logo though 🙈

In the evening, we had the @zurichjs.com pre-conf meetup, and it was @acemarke.dev's birthday 🥳. Naturally, @farisaziz.com told everyone and we sang him happy birthday:

I somehow got pretty good at knowing what the error is even if I only get a screenshot with console.logs and a half-baked description. Still, don't do this. Make minimal reproductions and file issues once confirmed that you're not holding it wrong!

You are right, I didn't set the `staleTime` to `static`. It's now working as expected.

Fck*n layout shift in GitHub made me mark a PR as “ready to review” which definitely isn’t ready, informing a metric ton of code owners 🙄 Thanks for nothing

This concludes my first ever full open source week. I had a lot of fun, but now it's back to paid work. I will try to not get this "behind" on OSS again. My contributions chart couldn't have been greener this week:

GitHub contributions chart to TanStack in 2026

330 contributions in 2026 in TanStack

114 of those were from this week, which is why it's so green in the chart

Cross-Posted this on the ugly platform, which I usually don't do, but this time I thought the "reach" could help with getting feedback. Well, this great AI interaction is something I can definitely live without 🙄

Me:
📢 I've decided to remove the experimental_prefetchInRender flag and the associated promise returned from useQuery. There are too many "gotchas" with this approach. This currently puts use(promise) off the table, sorry. We'll have to think some more how to make this possible...

Comment:
good call. pushing experimental patterns into stable APIs too early usually just creates more maintenance debt than it solves.

better to wait for a cleaner mental model than forcing React Suspense to fit.

👏 This is EXACTLY what a community should be about. Please, tell your agents one more time to “contribute” to open source by “fixing open issues”. This is SO helpful /s

I’ve waited a long time for this 🥹. That `require.context` has been the bane of my existence and I’m so happy it will be gone soon. That almost concludes our migration towards @tanstack.com Form 🏝️.

Apparently it’s very important to some agents that we have a “bugs” field in package.json. So important that they opened 17 pull requests to do that!

lots of closed pull requests about “add bugs metadata”

Dominik 🔮 @tkdodo.eu · 27/06/2026

I once again urge you (to tell your agents) to stop filing drive-by PRs to random issues you’re not involved in. Maintainers end up with multiple PRs to the same issue, all mostly identical.

The one thing I'm cautious about with atproto is that a lot of apps want a lot of access, even to namespaces that don't belong to them. Like why would @popfeed.social need to delete my @standard.site documents ? 🤨
