10 months in at www.summation.com. Working on our AI Analyst, but you know I always bet on great DX & tooling. So it's dang cool we're building AX, in the open. It's like pair programming with a group of models in a shared session. Supports Claude, Codex, Grok, OpenCode & Pi. Try it out! useax.dev

✂️ Playing a bit with a new "cycles" reporter in Knip to show circular dependencies. The data is available in the module graph already anyway 😎 Feel free to take a look and give it a 🌀 if you're interested: github.com/webpro-nl/kn...

✂️ Knip v6.6.0 is out A few neat feats and another 8 dependencies removed. Along with v6.5.0 introducing tinyglobby, this tidy graph wouldn't have happened without the @e18e.dev community ❤️ Changelog: github.com/webpro-nl/kn... Knip: knip.dev

🔖 Raycast Bookmarks Extension Simple text file. Focus on existing tab if already open. Using this for over a year now, so I figured might be useful for someone else as well. → github.com/webpro/rayca... Not in the @raycast.com Store either. Maybe one day..

If there's interest I could publish this @raycast.com extension to the Store, it's fuzzy search for your github repos to open in your default browser. Simple and effective, using this all the time.

✂️ Going to stop ignoring the ignores Knip will start chasing unused ignore/ignoreFiles patterns more Dreaming if the day you(r code generator) will get what `ignore` is for.. 😅 ..or put differently: how & why knip is different from the linters you're already familiar with knip.dev/guides/confi...

Screenshot of Knip printing configuration hints for unused ignore patterns in knip.json. For instance, because they're already covered by .gitignore entries.

This is a stub types definition. parse-path provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed.

So... how's your day going? 😂 Anyway, release-it v19.1.0 has improved support for local `npm publish` workflows with 2FA/OTP/whatever npm throws at us 🚀 github.com/release-it/r... (btw `pnpm run` is fine, but single-workspace only and still uses `npm publish`)

🆕 Knip for Editors Trust me, I've poured in A Ton of Love ✂️ This isn't just a plugin to show unused exports. It offers a unique way to view & navigate your code and connect the dots. Feels like there's so much potential here. Excited for you to try out the preview! 🙏 → github.com/webpro-nl/kn...

✂️ superposition 🤪

Ha! That's meta as hell — developing Knip while using Knip's own VS Code extension to help you develop it. 🔄

The ultimate dogfooding setup. If you find issues with the extension while working on the codebase, you can fix them in real-time since it's symlinked.

Interestingly, Array.from(set) with mapper arg is twice as slow (compared to spread/Array.from().map) in Node. In Bun it's faster. Passing in an [] is much faster than a set (but each item still has to be copied over). Here, Node is faster. Only in rare cases should you worry about this, I'd say.

const largeSet = new Set();

[...largeSet].map(mapFn);

Array.from(largeSet).map(mapFn);

Array.from(largeSet, mapFn);

Benchmark results showing that in Node.js v24.11.1, "Array.from with mapper argument" is twice as slow compared to both "spread + map" and "Array.from + map".

In Bun v1.3.2, the results aren't as varying, while Array.from with mapper argument is the fastest.

Set size is 1_000_000

Overall, Bun is slightly faster than Node.

Benchmark results showing array spread and Array.from with a large array is roughly 30% faster than in Bun's array spread.

Array.from in Bun is 5 times slower than spread.

Array length is 1_000_000

✂️ Knip v5.66.0 is out Comes with a neat little feat: ignoreIssues (don't try this at home!) → knip.dev/reference/co... → knip.dev

ignoreIssues: Ignore specific issue types for specific file patterns. Keys are glob patterns and values are arrays of issue types to ignore for matching files. This allows ignoring specific issues (like unused exports) in generated files while still reporting other issues in those same files.

Lars @webpro.nl · 04/10/2025

✂️ Knip has the machinery in place to nail all of this the solution is usually to improve or add a plugin (or a tiny bit of user config if not following conventions) 💯 so please file issues or open pull requests and have knip nail more cases for y'all from: johnjames.blog/posts/cleani...

excerpt from the linked article, it reads:

what knip nailed, and where it didn’t

Good at common React and server app entry points, and lots of config conventions. Not great when usage is indirect or only happens in scripts or CI. That’s fine. Humans still have jobs.
