Zsh is a shell program for Mac that lets you interact with the operating system. And in this article, @yaxdotcom teaches you how the different Zsh config files work. You'll learn about their use cases, and how to avoid complications when using them. freecodecamp.org/news/how-do…

Updated the website railsapps.org to announce the RailsApps project is no longer maintained. Important 2012 to 2018 but no longer needed. Bless you all!

Avoid PBT Premature Build Tooling This should be a mantra of every developer/team, alongside avoiding premature optimization and insisting on progressive enhancement. Nobody’s going to thank you for choosing TypeScript over JavaScript…when building a one-off sales dashboard.

Web components encourage *evolution* instead of *revolution* — no need to throw your components away or rebuild them when a new framework comes out. #useThePlatform

With buildless #javascript, you'll be giving up hot module reloading, JSX, and tree shaking, but improving developer experience (you can jump into a project and just start working), according to @chriscoyier of @css. Can you live with the tradeoff? reddit.com/r/stackless/comme…

A subreddit to discuss stackless web development. Where we ask, can you live without frameworks or build tools? A tie-in to my Stackless Newsletter. reddit.com/r/stackless/

Thanks @chriscoyier and @css for mentioning the stackless.community approach to web development without frameworks or build tools. It's great to ask: How far can we go with this?

Chrome 89 is here, and with it, import maps! github.com/WICG/import-maps/… We're working to prioritize external import maps (i.e. src="importmap.json") and would like your input... how important is that for your use case?

I wish I could share with each of you the sense of hope and wonder we felt in the early days of the web, our dignity, and the respect we had for each other. It’s buried now under a crust of snark and betrayal and despair but it can reveal itself to those who open their hearts.
The delicious history of how the Worldwide Web came to be from a first hand account by @danielkehoe Worth remembering that @timberners_lee invented WWW in CERN, an institution funded by European taxpayers money. Public sector is invaluable. #100DaysOfCode blog.yax.com/posts/early-day…

Yes!! Import maps are the key to unlock our bundler-less JavaScript future. I seriously hope we can get @webkit and @firefox to follow suit this year. It’s a huge level up for simplifying JavaScript development. Bravo Chrome 👏

A breakthrough for #JavaScript from @jspm and @guybedford. This import map generator makes a version lockfile so the browser becomes a native package manager without Node, NPM, or additional build tools. jspm.org/import-map-cdn

Yes, a tool is required to generate import maps. But only as the last step of a workflow, as an optimization step prior to deployment. Eliminating Node and NPM as development prerequisites. So this is build-less JS not build-free JS. @tolmasky @43081j @jtaby

The biggest problem I see: "Currently Chrome 89 only supports import maps written inline ... Support for <script type="importmap" src="external.json"></script> is specified but still a pending browser feature." @domenic is there a timeline to release this?
