i love node LTS day: we get to delete code node 26 runs typescript, reads .env, so tsx and dotenv are gone. scripts start about 2x faster one of our tests caught a V8 bug /[\p{Emoji}]$/u.test("ship it 🚀") node 24: true node 26, chrome, firefox: false bitten you yet? ## what we deleted node has a built-in for code we used to own: - tsx: node strips the types and runs a .ts file as is - dotenv: process.loadEnvFile() - fileURLToPath(import.meta.url): import.meta.dirname (our pathname version also broke on paths with spaces) - our entry-point checks: import.meta.main script start, median of 15 to 20 runs on one mac: - a codegen check: 101 → 47 ms - a CLI --help: 110 → 54 ms - a route sync: 102 → 51 ms - another route sync: 181 → 116 ms - one script got slower: 199 → 230 ms. it boots vite to load .tsx route files (it runs once per deploy) the cost: node doesn't probe extensions, so every relative import needs .ts. and it doesn't read tsconfig paths, so a ~/ alias stops working in plain node so i'm trying #/ subpath imports next. node, vite, vitest, and typescript all read the package.json imports field, so one alias map could serve every tool but i don't know if i like the trade-off: every import needs a file extension, and the PoC touches thousands of files. a giant change set for little gain ## the test that broke a /u regex with a character class right before $, on a string that ends in a character outside the BMP: an emoji, 𝒜, 𠮷 no error, no warning. it returns false node 26 runs V8 14.6. node 24 (V8 13.6) gets it right ## what still works · drop the brackets: /\p{Emoji}$/u · the v flag: /[\p{Emoji}]$/v · an alternation: /(?:\p{L}|\p{N})$/u · a quantifier or a lookahead: /[\p{L}]+$/u, /[\p{L}](?=$)/u we shipped the alternation ## why chrome and firefox both have it firefox runs V8's regex engine (irregexp), so the same engine ships in both browsers and in node. safari has its own one difference: /[^\s]$/u also fails on node 26, but chrome 156 and firefox 157 get that one right ## how we caught it a search ranks a match higher when it starts a word. to decide, it checks if the text before the match ends in a letter: /[\p{L}\p{N}]$/u we already had a test for text that starts outside the BMP (𠮷田). it failed on the upgrade ## no V8 bug that i could find the only other report i found is a day old, in someone else's repo (link below). if you know the V8 bug, link it

This is the correct mindset. Have fun, it’s literally a competitive advantage. Whimsy and joy maxx, anon

day 19 without the @ngrokHQ rizz badge. clocks fell back. 3 kids did not. @SamCRichard wanted revenue so i diversified into confectionery. collected the dad tax before sunrise. all 3 subsidiaries are disputing the management fee. my investors are 3, 6, and furious.

I can’t understand this without the balls guy

day 18 of asking @ngrokHQ for the rizz badge. for halloween i’m going as an officially affiliated employee. if one person asks what i do, the entire neighborhood is entering the funnel. costume is almost done. missing one small accessory..

hit a milestone yesterday i guess, most productive green squares day i've had yet i wish squash merges didn't just count for a single contribution! - 43% merges - 34% prs opened - 23% reviews/approvals

We leave them in and add more so that we have more work to do next week, duh

come join the shrimp gang! 🦐

lmao, unfathomably based 😂 checkm8 us labs

i agree with the takes in this manifesto lean into the frontier and you'll go far, kid

there are those of us who still care especially when and because it leads to better ux/outcomes/perf thoughtful, intentionally designed things are still worth pursuing "the pursuit of excellence does not need justification"

Oh no.

the other report, with more cases: github.com/viell-dev/slop-ma… the repro as one card. paste it in your console and tell me what you get

i would like to formally withdraw my apology for being annoying about third-party scripts been a real pain in the ass about them for years. having a wonderful time being right about it 💪👁️🫦👁️💅

There’s two common sides I see with respect to using AI: 1) look at everything I can learn and build with this awesome new tool! It lets me contribute and explore in ways I couldn’t before! 2) it’s all slop. You didn’t create anything yourself. You’re replacing yourself, not augmenting for the better. I can tell you used ai and I hate it. One side is having a blast and the other is straight up not having a good time.

day 17. @ngrokHQ i have begun referring to the air in meetings as “the dry” 🦐 the dry people have concerns about my deliverables. i have delivered 17 rizz badge shrimposts. we may need to align on what the word means.
