Oh I don't. But it's clear.

YouTube Music UI is 100% vibecoded. Brutal

Oxlint is making a huge step forward! Two new updates:

JS custom rules, with ESLint compatible API are on the way. The first prototype gives a good speedup already! 🔥

Type-aware rules. Full coverage no-floating-promise through tsgolint, integrated like the other oxlint rules and extremely fast.

If it worked through TS and re-exports this would get most of the value of TS const enum inlining but for all scalar values.

Looking at the code, this makes me wonder how difficult it would be to implement scalar export inlining.

import {X} from './const.js'
console.log(X)

console.log(42)

FWIW Signals in Preact (in particular when using the helpers) has optimizations for these cases in addition to others. Most updates become either single node diffs or direct DOM property/attribute assignments.

The GraphQL Asterisk Problem: When Benefits Come with Caveats An exploration of the trade-offs and considerations when using GraphQL and its alternatives.

Spent 7 years in the GraphQL ecosystem. Here's what we got wrong:
