Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Every few weeks, a security report lands that follows the same template.

Hey Everyone!

In recent months, I’ve shared thoughts on the human role in AI, the future of software engineering, what these changes mean for businesses, and why coding skills still matter.

AI-assisted development is already a reality, and the open source community is coming together to figure out how to manage it.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the human in the loop and why review is now the bottleneck in software development.

Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Every few weeks, someone shares a bold opinion: "Don't bother learning to code, AI will do it all."

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the human in the loop and why review is now the bottleneck in software development.

Like everyone else, I had to build something over the end-of-year break.

Mike Arnaldi wrote a thought-provoking piece titled "The Death of Software Development."

Hi Folks, This week I want to talk about something that might surprise you: the performance cost of optional chaining in JavaScript.

Today I'm announcing slow-redact, a new package that provides the same API as fast-redact but with a crucial difference: immutability guarantees.

URLPattern is a Web Specification, which recently landed in Node.js thanks to the outstanding work of Yagiz Nizipli and Daniel Lemire in Ada v3.

Hi Folks, A few weeks have passed, and I've been so busy catching up with my backlog.

Hi Folks, I have been silent for long, and I've lost the habit of writing my thoughts in this newsletter.

Hi Folks, This release features something I've been working on and off for the last few months, mostly adding feature as I needed them: a companion for the node:test module.

Hi Folks, This newsletter comes back to a theme I love: Node.js streams.

Hi Folks, Here is a short & sweet newsletter to show you the analysis I did on the performance of the HTTP clients of Node.js, as well as the burning question of the bond between Node.js and npm.

Happy new year folks!

Hello Everybody, I'm stoked by the impressive download growth we are seeing in Platformatic.

Hi Folks, I'm sorry that almost a month as passed from the latest edition of Adventures in Nodeland.

Hi folks, It's been a couple of weeks since the last email, and this is packed with updates.

Hi Folks, Last week was a big week for me and the team at Platformatic– we finally launched v1.0.0, and I could not be more excited to share it all with you!

Hi Folks, As I'm writing this, I have been working hard for the Platformatic v1.0.0 launch on Tuesday, the 26th of September (tomorrow as you are reading this).

Hi Folks!
