Nicolas Beaussart

I was one of the 16 devs in this study. I wanted to speak on my opinions about the causes and mitigation strategies for dev slowdown. I'll say as a "why listen to you?" hook that I experienced a -38% AI-speedup on my assigned issues. I think transparency helps the community.

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @satanacchio on landing Type Stripping support in upstream Node v22 🎉 This backport means the Node LTS will be able to run *.ts directly. No need to opt-in with a flag. No noisy console warning. It just works 👍

things I believe: - shipping fast beats the best strategy - speed is a superpower - create a bias toward shipping - small teams ship faster - ai-native teams will move 10x faster than those not willing to change - landings > launches (i.e. product adoption >…

Rolldown-Vite is ready for you to take it for a spin! Still lots of work to do, but we are seeing very promising stats in real-world applications. Help us battle test it and get it stable sooner!

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @satanacchio on today's landmark Node 22.18 release. It is the first LTS release to ship unflagged TypeScript support 🎉 This means Node can run *.ts files. It pairs well with TypeScript's "erasableSyntaxOnly" flag 👍 Many folk contributed 🙏

I ended my time at @Meta as a director. But I started as an engineer on FB Chat. Everything about it was broken — we had to rewrite it. And while the effort to fix it is one the projects that led to @reactjs, the most important fix was far simpler... Here’s the full story: —…

It's clear that Nicolas is great... But you can't see the unicorn he really is if you haven't worked with him. I was so lucky to have this opportunity 😍 great human and communicator that can, even alone, change entire engineering chapters' efficiency 🤯

And that 2h was from last October! Now we are at 20 minutes from branch pushed to deployed! Including merge, dev, staging, e2e and prod deployment! Read more about the story on the Nx blog

If you're affected by the stylus NPM fiasco (but not using stylus yourself), a local package override might help for now at least to unblock you.

In effort to support @rolldown_rs and @MetroBundler - we will be producing an official specification and architecture design documents for module federation 😘

When someone tells you the world has changed because of AI, you know, like as if somehow there's magic, somehow tech no longer is required. Just remember threads like this. Its all inflated right now - there is value, but the value is not matching the spend.

This is huge! Between js rules with eslint compatible api and type aware linting, oxlint really feels like it's the way forward! And with oxc parser in prettier, the oxc / @voidzerodev teams are on fire! Hats off 👏

please Cursor, keep supermaven alive and update it regularly. i'll pay you money i'll get a tattoo of it on my body i'll tell my friends about it i'll tweet about it i'll make yt videos about it i need it i need it i want it pls pls pls kthxbai

As a proud ultimate codeowner of big production codebase 10+y.o. I confirm that current AI assistants cannot [yet] reliably contribute big changes and productivity boost from using them is likely 15-20% @AndrewYNg is so right here

New video for the Nx YT channel. It's about Nx sync generators which are such an undervalued piece of tech IMHO. For this one I experimented having Claude Code do the implementation based off our Nx docs while I explain what's going on. Worked surprisingly well 😃

We're overhauling the upgrade CLI for monorepos. And it looks nicer.

fire all the delusional toxic positivity retain all the realists who call garbage garbage rebuild to where the realists say its amazing a huge problem is that companies create culture where its unsafe and unpopular to be self critical of first-party products: if apple…

📚 Finally found the time to write about what I think the best parts about @tan_stack Router are. Yes, type-safety, but there is so much more to talk about. Honestly, coupled with React Query, this is the most productive stack I’ve ever worked with 🚀 tkdodo.eu/blog/the-beaut…

🎉 Excited to share that I've been promoted to Senior Staff Engineer at @PayFitEng ! Proud to have helped transform our frontend platform into one of our best developer experiences. Here's to the next chapter! 💪

The monorepo vs polyrepo debate feels somewhat stale these days. But as always with tech, I don’t think a clear winner was announced. The thing is, most of the largest tech companies employ monorepos. The “why” they do it has been brought up countless times. They receive real…
