⛽️ npm-check-updates 18.2: Update package.json Dependencies to Latest Versions

That is, as opposed to the specified versions. Includes a handy -i interactive mode so you can look at potential upgrades and then opt in to them one by one. v18.2 adds a β€˜cooldown’ feature to help protect against supply chain attacks by requiring package versions to be published at least the given number of days before considering them for upgrade.

πŸ‘€ Give Your AI Eyes: Introducing Chrome DevTools MCP

The Chrome team has released an MCP server for Chrome DevTools, enabling agents like Claude Code or OpenAI Codex to use the DevTools to debug and analyze the performance and behavior of your webapps (or even just to automate the use of Chrome generally). Addy does a great job of explaining the potential here.

🀟 A Year of Improving Node.js Compatibility in Cloudflare Workers

β€œWe’ve been busy,” says Cloudflare which recently announced it’s bringing Node.js HTTP server support to its Workers function platform. This post goes deep into the technicalities, covering what areas of the standard library is supported, how the file system works (Workers doesn’t have a typical file system), how input/output streams work, and more. And you can use all of this now.
