IN BRIEF

📜 The Deno team just released fastwebsockets — but with a name like that, I have no idea what it does or at what speed it does it.

📜 Next 13.4 was just released to much fanfare. App Router is now stable, Turbopack is now in beta, and Server Actions are now in Alpha.

📜 Amelia Wattenberger wrote a good article about Why Chatbots Are Not the Future.
