I'll share it soon. But basically its a "choice" prompt for jev where the question is: "Which sentence from the article directly answers the question? Pick the one containing the specific fact asked for." And the choices provided are every sentence from the article.

Jev is an extremely cheap and fast classifier that can replace long LLM prompts in your workflows with more deterministic answers and actions. I break down what that means, how it works and show several demos of Jev in action in my latest video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbYB...

We're at a point where coding without an isolation mechanism or sandbox is way too risky. Use containers at a minimum, VMs if you have enough resources or a remote machine with either of these if you can. Watch 🍿: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ulR...

Agreed. Hono is hands down the best for JS / TS APIs right now.

CJ @w3cj.com · 02/03/2026

The JS ecosystem leaves a lot to be desired. Most frameworks are just routing systems with a little bit of data loading sprinkled on top. Something closer to Laravel / Rails like AdonisJS would be ideal but many devs are already bought in to React/Next.js. Nothing comes close to combining the 2.

Nice! I haven't given it a try yet but it looks really compelling.

The lack of route level middleware in Next.js has always bugged me. Claude added the feature to vinext in under an hour! Unlikely to be merged in but vinext being vite based makes things like this possible! Code: github.com/w3cj/vinext/... Demo: vinext-route-proxy-examples.cj-syntax.workers.dev
