Iโ€™ve typed this an ungodly amount of times into my browser while working on it

Fortunately this varies from place to place, sometimes itโ€™s the opposite and the maintainers are very active and super helpful. Hard to tell which one youโ€™re going to get ahead of time, but I recommend looking at project activity, how recently changes were merged, and what changes are merged.

I had to do this recently, and it was extremely painful. I had to do the first one manually, and then let CI publishing take the reigns from that point. Of course none of this was documented or even discussed online.

You are in good company. They merged my first vue PR ever today!

I tried to fight this fight recently, and failed. Itโ€™s a sticky issue

I want the whole thing to be nuked from orbit.

But now that I got that out of the way:
- I wish version data could be grouped by canary vs stable etc
- publishing wasnโ€™t practically identical to carrying the one ring to rule them all to Mount Doom

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ so ... for reasons:

I would love to know people's frustrations with:

- the current npmjs.com
- admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally)

I already respected your takes, and didnโ€™t realize I could respect you even harder

Iโ€™ve had success with Codex and Claude. Sonnet 4.5 all day though tbh

My favorite LLM feature is taking photos of my glass whiteboard and having it instantly transformed into a digital diagram that I can share, iterate on later, annotate etc.

I have read this a few times, as well as how people prefer CCs multi model approach.

Iโ€™ve not seen anyone mixing models across the aisle. Such as using Claude Sonnet 4.5 for most tasks, but then switching to Codex 5.2 for coding. Curious what the results would be. Maybe OpenCode will build it.

To let me DM you, you will need to either modify your chat settings to allow Everyone to send DMs, or follow me

Looks exactly like what happens when someone fails to fold steel rods properly in a forge while blacksmithing

Is there a large and reputable LLM developer survey? Would love to know about code review and other developer lifecycle automation.

How many of you are even planning the project you are working on rather than delegating that task to an agent?

Emails that tell you to respond directly to the email, and then respond by telling you the inbox isnโ€™t monitored and to go down other rabbit holes are the worst

Everyone is excited to discuss how well LLMs can program, but I just want to know when theyโ€™re gonna clean and climb my stairs

Does anyone have an invite they can share for lobste.rs ?

๐Ÿ˜† It looks like โ€˜26 will be a tempting year to upgrade my hardware. If only iOS devices were more useful as servers in their old age like Android devices, I wouldโ€™ve already retired it for a hobby project.

The English language is missing a term for โ€œgeneric youโ€, so as to avoid confusion. Gyou are doing it wrong

Iโ€™ve seen this discussed so much online, perhaps ESLint is not the right tool to 100x perf. Even a entirely new tool would be welcome if it greatly improved the situation. Is anyone actively working on this?

npm made publishing so annoying you said screw it and abandoned OSS ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Jk and congrats, hope it is everything you are looking for

I hope to someday write this much Elixir at work, I miss it

My takeaway is that I need to write more OSS

Looks delicious! No one has taught me how to make sausage rolls yet, but I am a big fan of my grandfathers Stromboli recipe I made a couple of recently

What many Staff Eng fail to realize is that the amount of ambiguity you must deal with greatly varies depending on who you work for. Find the people that see eye to eye with you, and youโ€™ll be set free.

Closest takes precedence is what Iโ€™d expect since so many of my other tools work that way these days.

โ€œWe will acquire you, but only if we get to destroy everything you built and tell you what to doโ€.

Iโ€™ve been through it a few times as you can seeโ€ฆ

The fact that when Iโ€™m going for a walk and I have an idea pop in my head, I can fully prototype that idea to review later by submitting a message on my phone and putting my phone away while touching grass is surreal.
