    119: Vercel’s Double Feature—Next.js 16 and Ship AI

    Another week, another new AI-browser. This time it’s OpenAI’s turn to introduce ChatGPT Atlas. As with the other AI browsers, Atlas knows the context of open tabs, has an agent that can do things for you, and (maybe its defining feature) it has "memory" built in so conversations can draw on past chats and details when needed. The team behind Vite reveals their path to revenue with command line devtool Vite+. Devs will soon be able to test, lint, format, bundle, and even view their apps’ stats with Vite+, with the performance we expect from a compiler toolchain built completely in Rust. Plus, it’s free for individual users and OSS projects, and has annual licensing prices for startups and enterprises. Vercel held not one but two conferences this week: Next.js Conf and then Ship AI. Next.js 16 was unveiled with improvements to Turbopack, a Next.js DevTools MCP, and updates to Cache Components. And Ship AI covered updates to the AI SDK, Vercel’s AI Gateway and Agents, and more.  Chapter Markers: 02:05 - ChatGPT Atlas12:38 - Vite+20:21 - Next.js conf and Ship AI28:07 - Claude Code on the web33:02 - The Louvre was robbed38:02 - What’s making us happyNews: Paige - Vite+Jack - Next.js Conf and Ship AI conf updatesTJ - ChatGPT AtlasLightning News: Claude Code on the webThe Louvre was robbedWhat Makes Us Happy this Week: Paige - The Diplomat TV seriesJack - Timers to limit doom scrollingTJ - Claude CodeThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

    118: Bun 1.3 - From Runtime to Full-Stack Powerhouse

    Back in May, the Remix cofounders revealed they were reimagining Remix v3 from the ground up, and this past week at Remix Jam, they gave a sneak peek of it. It’s fair to say this new framework shouldn’t be called Remix at all because it’s departed so far from its origins: devs manually update state, it uses signals, routes are defined in a TS doc, and it will ship with a component library, for starters. Will it catch on, who knows? Not to be outdone by React v19.2 last week, Next.js 16 beta debuted (with support for React 19.2 included). In addition to the latest version of React, Next.js 16 has also declared Turbopack, RSC support, and React Compiler all stable, and improved its caching system as well. And Bun is back in the news with the release of Bun 1.3, and it’s a doozy of a minor version release. Bun wants to be a full-stack JavaScript runtime as it now includes a full-stack dev server, built in support for MySQL and Redis DBs, routing, and the ability to package an entire project into one executable for cross-platform support. Well done, Bun team!

    React Goes Independent: Inside the New React Foundation

    It’s been a big week for React devs as the annual React Conf just wrapped up in Las Vegas.  The biggest news? React and React Native are moving out from under Meta to a new React Foundation with an independent technical governance structure. The React Foundation’s mission will be to support the React community and ecosystem, and a board of directors will steer it going forward. Also in time for React Conf, React 19.2 dropped, and it brings new features like partial pre-rendering, a new useEffectEvent hook, and an component that lets devs prioritize rendering  tomaintain state and make navigation faster. Not to be outdone, Cloudflare announced a new RPC protocol called Cap’n Web, which is a pure TypeScript implementation. What makes Cap’n Web unique is that it supports bi-directional calling, promise pipelining, and lets users design RPC interfaces that look like regular JavaScript APIs.

    npm Under Siege: The “Shai-Hulud” Worm Attack

    The supply chain attacks on npm continue and this week, Crowdstrike’s npm packages fell victim to the “Shai-Hulud” worm.  To mitigate the potential of downloading these malicious packages, consider pinning specific package versions in JS projects and using 2FA to publish new package versions to npm. Also this week, WebAssembly Specification (Wasm) released v3.0. This version dramatically expands the memory Wasm apps can use, supports multiple memory usage, and now allows garbage collection. It’s been a while since we last covered LLM options for folks who want to run their own models locally or in the browser, so Jack gives a quick rundown of some of the best options out today.  There’s WebLLM from MLC, MediaPipe from Google, and ONNX from Microsoft, and although none are easily interchangeable with another, if cost, privacy, or working offline are concerns of your LLM-enabled app, these may be good options to explore.

    npm’s Biggest Supply Chain Attack (and What We Learned)

    Just 5 months ago we covered how Storybook 9 was in beta, and already Storybook 10 is in beta. The biggest change is that Storybook is going all in on ESM and dropping CJS support, which is making for some big performance gains and smaller bundle sizes. This past week, npm suffered the largest supply chain attack in its history when a prolific OSS maintainer got phished. Luckily, the attack was noticed and reported within the hour and it looks like the hackers got next to nothing for their efforts, but it serves as another reminder to be extra careful before clicking links in emails. In the same security vein, browser company Brave uncovered a security vulnerability in AI-browser Comet where malicious instructions on a web page could cause the agent to “go rogue” while it was being asked to summarize a page’s contents. Perplexity has since added more guardrails to try and mitigate this sort of thing, but be cognizant of the data and site access you’re giving to AI agents.

    Warp Code and the Future of Agent-Driven Dev

    The Google vs. the US anti-trust lawsuit has finally drawn to a close, and (spoiler alert) Google doesn’t have to sell Chrome (or Android, for that matter). Going forward it will have to share certain search data with its rivals, and that’s about it, so this is definitely a big win for Google any way you look at it. The popular terminal company Warp just unveiled Warp Code - a suite of features for shipping agent-generated code “all the way from prompt to production” via the Warp terminal. Warp Code offers an agent-driven terminal-first approach, with visual code review of agent changes, and a native file editor for minor edits in an attempt to eliminate the context switching devs have to do nowadays between their AI agents, IDEs, and GitHub.  In a twist no one saw coming, SaaS behemoth Atlassian has bought AI-browser Dia (and its maker The Browser Company) for $610 million. Atlassian wants to position Dia as the AI-browser for users at work and time will tell if that bet pays off.
