Simple tools, fewer abstractions—inviting everyone to tinker & build. What’s worth building? For me: empathy and reworking our urban environments for humans.

I've been hearing people say stuff like:
"You know @DelaneyGillilan isn’t like a professional front-end stuff. He just came in, uh, put up Datastar with the team of course, and the value of Vue, React, and all this stuff goes down to zero immediately. That was punk."
I’m incredulous, but thought I’d give it a spin: TodoMVC with Datastar + @nu_shell + cross. stream
nickchomey from the datastar discord caught me making up numbers. the above comparison is aws on-demand to a 12 month commit @ phoenixNAP
the aws price is on parity, so the comparison in this case is ~6x the capacity @ the _same_ price

phoenixNAP undersells itself with that _can_. @ChuckBoecking of chuck stack persuaded me to switch my projects from aws to phoenixNAP bare metal "cloud". similar story to other just use baremetal posts you've seen. for me, 6X the capacity at 2/3 the cost. they're kinda the hetzner of north america
"While our city has grown rapidly since 1989, the number of local neighbourhood retailers has dropped precipitously from 2,137 to 1,406."
I wrote an op-ed for @TorontoStar on what I think about the fight for local neighbourhood retail (and the grousing about Badiali's) means for the urban vision for the future of our City. Gift link here: thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

I use Nushell for everything scripting now. It has completely replaced Python for me and it much better to use & has great DX. And I don't have to learn one million different tools that don't compose to process data, I can just use Nushell.

Been using nushell as my daily shell for a month or two now, and the only downside is that I no longer have any use for jq, and I actually kinda like jq
The State of JS 2025 survey is now open!

it doesn't take much to make kids love math. You just have to make it multiplayer. This is the future of school we are building
our current designs are failing everyone. food for thought; if you walk, the consequence for a mistake shouldn't be death; if you drive, the consequence for making a mistake shouldn't be murder; everyone is just trying to get through their day, as best they can; it doesn't have to be this way; it's a design choice
Our street designs are so poor, drivers of personal vehicles are basically more dangerous than coyotes, so we send out warnings like this; and don't even blink and think.. what are we even doing?
This looks super handy; `data-on-keys` plugin for datastar:
