State of JavaScript 2025 Take the State of JavaScript survey

Just took the annual State of JS 2025 survey!

Looking forward to finding out how out-of-touch I am with the majority, which is gonna be men that use AI to generate React code in TypeScript

ME, rn:

It is!

reading an obituary with great pleasure today!

Insane to me that I will see someone respond to a question on the internet with “ChatGPT says…” because LLMs are fundamentally not a reliable source on any subject. All they have been programmed to do is construct random sentences that seem plausible. They are literally just making things up.

Ahhh that’s what it should be like!

Less algorithmic feeds and more webrings!!

Totally. Two things we need to prioritize so everyone isn't helplessly reliant on Microsoft and Google for everything:
- how (and how much) we teach people about computers.
- better software to make running a personal server more accessible.

It’s shameful to see US government agencies act as puppets for the right-wing fascists. Hopefully there will be consequences for violating the Hatch Act, but until then click “subscribe” to block these accounts:

i’m only into activism when it feels like i’m a part of a cool, exclusive club. once it’s popular enough to enact meaningful change I’m out.

if we’re gonna exist in the Internet age, everyone needs to know how to own and maintain their own server

Does The Simpsons still start every episode with a perfunctory chalkboard punishment gag? Even though that hasn't been a thing in like 20 years? Are chalkboards even a thing any more?

I tried this recently and it did not disappoint!

If you want to guess Bari Weiss's take on any political issue, just assume whoever has more power in the situation is right and then write a condescending rationalization of why they are the real victim.

so accessible

I loved Tokyo Sonata! I gotta check out his other work.

There's no API endpoint so they have to physically mail the HTTP request to the business to unsubscribe

It's good to know that, even if Trump were to start assassinating journalists and implemented migrant slavery, there's a large subset of popular comedians and musicians that would perform censored acts at his propaganda circus show if they were given enough oil money.

Guadalupe!

We pronounce it “Town Lake” 😋

Try a different audio interface, try a different microphone. See if you can narrow it down.

looks insane I love it

this is like if the highest court in Ireland was nine people dressed as leprechauns

All the cryptocurrency influencers can't shut up about decentralization, so how come they're all on Twitter (centralized) and not on Bluesky or Mastadon (decentralized)? We know why.

I don't think LLMs have 0% utility but with AI infrastructure being twice that of consumer spending, maybe the bubble pops and takes the US economy down with it. That doesn't seem worth it to me.

Wouldn't it be cool if we spent $150,000,000,000 on trains instead? Think of the ROI!

Hot take: how we are biologically wired cannot physically handle hearing about all human suffering occurring on the planet, so the insistence of some online activists of “don’t you dare stop looking at or sharing horrific images” is great for social media addiction, terrible for mental health
