    140: Cloudflare is Coming for WordPress

    One of the former React Core team members caused quite the stir last week when he released Pretext, a TypeScript library that uses math to make text measurement and layout super fast. Handy for niche use cases? Definitely. Controversial online? Extremely. Also this week, Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a new initiative bringing together all the biggest players in tech to reshape cybersecurity because Anthropic's latest frontier model Mythos has identified thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser. The orgs will use Mythos to up their software security before putting it in the hands of the rest of us. And Cloudflare, ever in our weekly news cycle, has released EmDash, an Astro-powered version of WordPress using Cloudflare's infra to securely sandbox plugins and prevent the hacking that WP has long suffered from.

    139: Claude Code’s Secrets Are Out

    This week, Anthropic accidentally leaked Claude Code’s source code to the world when it published a source map inside an npm release. While the offending file was quickly removed, the code was out there and folks got to work speculating about what’s next for Claude Code. Always running background daemons, something known as “undercover mode”, and a cute little ASCII animal next to inputs are some of the things we might see in Claude’s future. The npm hacks keep on coming as well, as popular data fetching library Axios is the latest victim. This particular hack delivered a remote access trojan (RAT) virus courtesy of a postinstall script, that deleted itself after execution to evade detection. Sneaky! Lock down your packages and dependencies, folks.

    138: Next.js Leans into AI Agents

    Microsoft dropped the last version of JavaScript-powered TypeScript this week with TS 6.0. TypeScript 6 bridges the gap between the TS of yesteryear and the soon to come Go-powered TS compiler of TypeScript 7 that users can fix now so they can smoothly upgrade later. Next.js 16.2 debuted this week with the usual performance improvements expected in a minor version upgrade, plus AI improvements to make AI-assisted development smoother and easier. In response to Cloudflare’s Vinext fork a few weeks back, Vercel’s released a stable of adapter APIs to make deploying Next.js apps to hosting platforms besides Vercel easier. While this is a step in the right direction, it’s still not exactly “easy” to get all the bells and whistles of a Next app running on other platforms.

    137: Netlify Enters the AI App Builder Race

    This week the VoidZero team shipped Vite 8. It’s using Rolldown under the hood and boasting 30x faster builds, full plugin compatibility, integrated devtools, and a searchable registry for all plugins. Co-host Jack has officially joined Netlify as a Principal Developer Experience Engineer and announces the launch of Netlify Start. Start a new Netlify project with a prompt on the site, and see it built and deployed in minutes, and keep iterating on it from there. The Node.js team is changing their release schedule so that every release now (both even and odd) numbers will be an LTS release, and beginning in 2027, it will be named release 27, just to make it easier for everyone.

    136: VoidZero Wants to be the Laravel of JavaScript

    JavaScript framework Eleventy has been renamed Build Awesome, 1.5 years after joining the Font Awesome stable. The name change precedes Build Awesome Pro, which will offer premium features alongside the features Eleventy users know and love. Today the Awesomeverse got a little awesomer. The VoidZero team also open-sourced Vite+, which is a unified toolchain and entry point to web app development that manages runtime, package manager, and frontend toolchain all in one. Since being acquired by Cloudflare, the Astro team had their first big release with Astro 6.0, which includes a new dev server and build pipeline powered by Vite’s environment API so it can run the exact same production runtime during development. Other upgrades include a built-in Fonts API, request-time content, and a new experimental Rust compiler.

    135: Bun is Back in the Oven

    This week's a non-AI episode! It’s been a minute since we last discussed Bun, but the team is back with a new release. In v1.3.10, the REPL’s completely rewritten in Zig, barrel imports are optimized, and the JavaScriptCore engine got upgraded for big perf gains. Npmx, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry has reached alpha version in less than 2 months of existence. Its goal is to make it easy for devs to find, evaluate, and manage npm packages, and boasts cool features like the ability to compare packages and even launch demo environments directly from package READMEs.  Solid 2.0.0 jumped straight from experimental to beta this week, and it introduces changes like: async is first-class, derived state is a primitive, dev guardrails to prevent foot guns, and a DOM cleanup model.

    134: Anthropic is Having a Week

    This week’s episode is all about Anthropic. First up, Anthropic unveiled Claude Remote Control, which will let users continue a Claude session back on their personal machine from a phone, tablet via the Claude mobile app. Watch out OpenClaw. Anthropic continued making news by refusing to bow to the Department of War’s request for “unrestricted use” of its AI for military purposes, including domestic surveillance and fully-autonomous weapons. We’ll let you know if those defense contracts get revoked or not. On a lighter note, a developer at Cloudflare rebuilt Next.js with AI as a drop-in replacement using Vite... in one week. That’s right! $1,100 worth of tokens, access to Next’s docs and test suite, and Claude Code, and Bob’s your uncle!
