![]() 🎉 Welcome to issue 100 🎉 We were planning on doing an awesome giveaway, but after looking at $NET this morning, it’ll have to wait until issue #200.
Let’s rage 10 things we learned turning 100Just like real life, our old age has brought us a nice mix of wisdom, perspective, and IBS. We’ll try to share all three of those with you in this list of 10 things we’ve learned in the last 100 weeks. 1. Good frameworks borrow, great frameworks steal. And Next proved its greatness earlier this month when they announced that they’d be 2. If there’s an unintentional bug in our “Spot the Bug” section, we will get an email from literally everyone. Thank you (all 101,741 of you) for your vigilance. 3. Rust isn’t eating the web quite like we thought. Rust has been dominating the tooling space, but the whole “JavaScript is slow, so let’s rewrite our UI in Rust” hasn’t really panned out (at least not yet). 4. Having only high growth tech stocks in your portfolio is a bad idea. And it might be helpful to ask about the liquidation preference of the startup you work at 🙂. 5. Developers love writing CSS… as long as you can trick them into thinking they’re writing HTML. Hats off to Tailwind for figuring this out and becoming the most loved framework in the game.
Don’t be like Elmo. [sponsored] Sleuth.io can actually make your team more efficientTracking “developer productivity” is stupid. Two reasons:
That’s why Sleuth is the best. It doesn’t track developer productivity — it only measures team output. And it actually works. That’s because it captures your team’s DORA metrics — which multiple studies have shown are the only stats that actually matter. No worthless vanity metrics and no individual stats. Sleuth automatically collects all that data for you (including deploys), unlike most other services that only collect git or issue tracker data. So you can trust that the numbers are legit. It’s also worth noting that Atlassian uses Sleuth. That’s like being Chef Gordon Ramsey’s favorite restaurant — if it works for them, it’ll probably help you too. Try it free and help your team reach its goals faster.
Death, taxes, and us in your inbox every week. 10 things we learned turning 100 — part 26. There are exactly three ways to fund open source. 1) GitHub sponsors (lol). 2) Form a 7. We don’t talk about 8. Your kids grow up too fast. People try and warn you, but you blink — and all of a sudden Deno (which we wrote about in our first-ever issue) is turning 4 years old, partnering with Netlify to offer Edge Functions, and screaming to watch another episode of Daniel Tiger. 9. Anything that can live on the Edge, will end up living on the Edge. First it was JavaScript, and now it’s databases, thanks to Cloudflare bringing SQL to the edge with D1. We’re living through the glory days of the Edge, and like most things in life, Lady Gaga has already written the perfect song for this moment. 10. Making JavaScript memes in my mom’s basement is a lot more time consuming than we thought. But it’s worth the crippling anxiety we feel every Sunday night.
