If you're using TypeScript with the Fastify web server in your Node.js projects, then check out typed-fastify (https://tfs.cooba.me). I'd say it's the only reliable solution I've found so far to achieve end-to-end type-safety using existing TS types.

According to the recent report from JetBrains (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2024/) #JavaScript is still number one in terms of usage globally. #Python takes the second place and catching up rapidly. #TypeScript takes the 6th place, following HTML/CSS, SQL and Java.

In case you didn’t know, since recently you can run TypeScript files with Node.js natively, without transpiling to JavaScript. It is still an experimental feature and has some limitations, beware of that. Obviously, too early for the use in production, but it’s a great step forward.

Consequent question: Deno or Bun? They both are great tools, from my point of view. Here I have listed how they approach different aspects of the web development. So it depends on you what to choose, but make sure you read it first.

After the recent release of Deno V2 I started seriously considering to migrate away from Node.js. Node still has a huge advantage in terms of ecosystem, but look at this 5 points: Deno is a game-changer from different perspectives. Built-in support of TypeScript is already a big deal. Are you thinking about migration too?

Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to share this absolutely ultra-cool CSS Flexbox guide from Josh Comeau. I've met him in person some years ago, when he was presenting some CSS stuff on a React conference. This person knows very well what he's doing, and he's extremely good in frontend. Just found this tutorial on his blog and it's amazing!
He also made a few courses that you can find on this website, in case you want level up your frontend skills.

So, here the link to the Flexbox tutorial - https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/interactive-guide-to-flexbox/

Thank me later ;)

The gRPC protocol and its tooling seem to have improved significantly over the past few years. I haven't used it yet but seriously considering it for my next projects. I've stumbled upon this article that gives a very practical overview of the current state of the gRPC ecosystem:

https://kostyay.com/grpc-5-years-later-is-it-still-worth-it-b181a3b2b73b

What's your experience with gRPC? Have you used it and would you choose it again?

I hear more and more the opinion that the frontend is more difficult than the backend. Just curious, do you agree with this statement?

This project has caught my eye recently – InstantDB. It’s a client-side real-time database with a rather interesting architecture. It’s built with a synchronization layer between the client and the server. The idea is that the client interacts directly with the “local” database, and it gets synchronized with the backend database in the background. This approach sounds quite revolutionary for frontend development and seems to offer significant improvements in performance and app optimization for many developers. Have you had a chance to try InstantDB yet?

[Web Dev] Redirects vs. Rewrites

This sounds like a simple question, but would you be able to answer it from top of your head? Here’s the quick summary on how redirects are different to rewrites when we talk about web development. Thank me later after nailing this question on a technical interview 😎

Scrolling GitHub is always fun...

A couple of days ago I've spotted this tool, that actually solves quite an annoying problem - monitoring a Docker container logs in real-time. Some folks built UI for that - https://dozzle.dev/. It explicitly mentions that the logs are not being stored anywhere and just being displayed in real-time for debugging (mostly) purpose, which is fine for many cases. So, if you use Docker you may find it useful at some point. I will definitely keep it in mind...

Found something pretty cool on the dev news. In-browser face detection and recognition! 🙈
I didn’t try it anywhere yet but the demos are very promising. Definitely will give it a try in some project…

I'm done with ESLint. Seriously.
I have been using it for many years but it has become a monster that is too complex. I've tried to migrate my projects to the latest version of ESLint (v9) and it was a disaster. Breaking changes, some extra dependencies, and a lot of configuration. It's just too much for a simple linting tool it's supposed to be. I got lost after a few hours of debugging...
I've done a quick research and found a much better alternative that I managed to set up in 10 minutes. Simple and fast, JSON configuration with schema support, TS support out of the box. Such a joy to use. Totally recommend you drop ESLint if you're still using it. This is the new hero in the linting world for me!

[Networks]: A bit of theory related to the low level topic in software engineering such as networks. It’s quite handy to have an idea about these network layers as a software engineer, even if you do not work closely with protocols.
