I'm back in SF and actively searching the streets for Wily. If you see her, DO NOT approach her, just call me: 4152185520.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Always the worst part of getting home from a trip.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Where can I find this stuff? Embarrassingly this is a serious question.

Big news! I'm available for hire! If you have JavaScript/TypeScript you want written, and you have budget for an ambitious and highly skilled practitioner with over 20 years of experience doing that, including leading teams, communities, and execs, hit me up.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Here's a little overview of my app PocketCal, if you haven't tried it yet!

ITS HAPPENING

Firefox 127 shipped today making it the first browser to support Temporal - the new API for working with Dates, times, timezones + durations

A noble cause!

This is the first 3D printed thing that's made me think that it's worth doing in general. Guess I'm all about utility 🤖

Evan is in front of a massive tv with his slides containing a diagram talking about Durable Execution.

Another exciting month of SeattleJS talks!

Starting us off today is Evan from GenSX telling us about durable execution for AI workflows. Unlike other durable execution approaches, GenSX uses JSX!

The Node.js Website Team has been busy 💪

Recent upgrades include pnpm adoption, API docs tooling migration, a new design system, and OpenNext deployment support.

Leading to better speed, docs, and dev experience. More to come! ✨🐢

Huge shoutout and thanks to our website maintainers. 🧑‍💻

Nah, this is great! 🌿

Node.js has had support for running TypeScript directly since v22.6.0. I’ve been wondering what a minimal Node.js with TypeScript starter project might look like.

Here’s my first shot at what I think might work for me. And it's my first blog post in over 2 years!

Node.js — Node v24.0.0 (Current) Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Node.js 24 is here and it's looking good 😎🚀

Featuring updates to V8 v13.6, npm v11, improved Permission Model and more new features in the blog.

Check it out and let us know what you think: hubs.ly/Q03lfLDC0

Happy to announce @nodejs v24.0.0 💚!

This release brings several updates, including the V8 13.6 and npm to version 11.

As a reminder, Node.js 24 will enter long-term support (LTS) in October, but until then, it will be the "Current" release

Check it nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

Hell yeah! 🙌

Yeah, that would be huge! Fingers crossed on the backport to v22.x landing soon.

Sure, it makes sense to pick whichever tool is best for you 👌

Ashley Willis – ashley.dev Developer advocate, open source champion, and maker of things.

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

After a few months taking a break from work, I'm looking for a job again.  Anyone hiring a software engineer with a penchant for low-level stuff?  I'm looking for something remote in the US (or, at the very least, something in the Seattle area).

(Reskeet for reach? Thanks!)
