I'm done with ESLint. Seriously.
I have been using it for many years but it has become a monster that is too complex. I've tried to migrate my projects to the latest version of ESLint (v9) and it was a disaster. Breaking changes, some extra dependencies, and a lot of configuration. It's just too much for a simple linting tool it's supposed to be. I got lost after a few hours of debugging...
I've done a quick research and found a much better alternative that I managed to set up in 10 minutes. Simple and fast, JSON configuration with schema support, TS support out of the box. Such a joy to use. Totally recommend you drop ESLint if you're still using it. This is the new hero in the linting world for me!

The gRPC protocol and its tooling seem to have improved significantly over the past few years. I haven't used it yet but seriously considering it for my next projects. I've stumbled upon this article that gives a very practical overview of the current state of the gRPC ecosystem:

What's your experience with gRPC? Have you used it and would you choose it again?

Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to share this absolutely ultra-cool CSS Flexbox guide from Josh Comeau. I've met him in person some years ago, when he was presenting some CSS stuff on a React conference. This person knows very well what he's doing, and he's extremely good in frontend. Just found this tutorial on his blog and it's amazing!
He also made a few courses that you can find on this website, in case you want level up your frontend skills.

So, here the link to the Flexbox tutorial - https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/interactive-guide-to-flexbox/

Thank me later ;)

In case you didn’t know, since recently you can run TypeScript files with Node.js natively, without transpiling to JavaScript. It is still an experimental feature and has some limitations, beware of that. Obviously, too early for the use in production, but it’s a great step forward.

To Next or not to Next?...

Next.js is a legendary web dev framework. Arguably, it's the most popular choice across web engineers for building SaaS and web projects. I'm not a deep expert in #nextjs, although I used it for a while and quite liked it a couple of years ago. I liked its flexibility in SSR/no-SSR rendering, and other cool features. But I've recently had several chats with web devs where we discussed Next.js. So I noticed more and more people complaining that Next became unreliable, too cumbersome and fragile. It seems like Next.js has really changed since then. Also, we have Astro, Svetle, Remix and other competitors around. The latter one in particular is the one I'm working with right now, and it looks quite interesting so far...

What is your favorite framework for building a SaaS or web project nowadays?

If you’re trying to catch up with MCP hype, this is a nice brief technical breakdown of what the MPC is and how its architecture built. MCP have great potential I think and will definitely stay with us, so we have to learn how to build and consume them. Do you build/use MCP servers already?
