The post said they would also still pay for their own internal team that would keep contributing code to React, so it feels more like their throwing in $600k in addition to what they already do. And they have brought inn other companies who hopefully also contribute money, seems like a lot more of an healthy situation than before.
The current problem with Gemeni 2.5 Pro is not that its not intelligent or can't oneshot problem, the problem is that its _terrible_ at tool calling and waste most of its context on trying to correct itself from mistaken tool calling. If they can solve that with 3.0 then they may have a useful model for agentic coding, if not its not keeping up with Anthropic and OpenAI.
I wanted to use Gemini 2.5 Pro, but couldn't, because their structured_data response is broken (doesn't support all JSON properties, or often simply returns garbage).
While sandbox-exec is officially "deprecated" it will be around for a long time, so building some tooling on top of it to make it useful seems valuable!
We use tldraw for playing D&D, yesterday it went down and locked our tldraw document forcing us to create an account, but when we made an account it just gave us an error. When I go to tldraw today and try and make a new document it still gives me "An unexpected error occoured".
Want to email me steve@tldraw.com? We're looking at an issue with new accounts today on tldraw.com but it sounds different from what you're describing.
Npm is owned by Github, which is owned by Microsoft. They could have put more tooling into making npm better. For example; pnpm require you to "approve-builds" so that its only running scripts from dependencies you decide on, and Deno have a bunch of security capabilities to restrict what scripts can and can't do. There is always going to be supply chain attacks, and the biggest package repositories are going to be hit the most. But that doesn't mean that Microsoft couldn't have spent more on building better tooling with better security settings on by default.
I've always thought CSS Modules was the best solution as well, having worked a lot with Tailwind its entirely okay, but "CSS in JS" was always a bad idea from the get go.
Do people contain themselvs to a POSIX conformant grep subset in practice, or do you mean GNU grep that probably doesn't behave according to spec unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is set?
If a workstation has Git installed on it, which I’d think would be the case for substantial number of engineers out there (…not just software engineers), grep is there due to Git BASH.
