How I built a modern website in 2021September 29th, 2021 — 34 min read For over half of 2021, I worked on a complete rewrite of kentcdodds.com. You're reading this on the rewrite of this site! Are you using dark mode or light mode? Have you signed in and selected your team yet? Have you tried to call into the Call Kent Podcast? This blog post isn't about these and other features of the new site, b
Developers are increasingly relying on AI coding assistants to accelerate our daily workflows. These tools can autocomplete functions, suggest bug fixes, and even generate entire modules or MVPs. Yet, as many of us have learned, the quality of the AI’s output depends largely on the quality of the prompt you provide. In other words, prompt engineering has become an essential skill. A poorly phrased

I was continueing my exploration of React server components when I stumbled upon on this article about progressive JSON. Dan Abramov describes a technique for streaming JSON from a server to a client in chunks, allowing the client to start rendering parts of the data before the entire payload has been received. This can significantly improve perceived performance, especially for large datasets. So

In this post I’ll walk through the full implementation of a Virtual DOM in a bit over 200 lines of JavaScript. The result is a full-featured and sufficiently performant virtual DOM library (demos). It’s available on NPM as the smvc package. The main goal is to illustrate the fundamental technique behind tools like React. React, Vue and the Elm language all simplify the creation of interactive web
Today we’re excited to announce the release of TypeScript 5.2! If you’re not familiar with TypeScript, it’s a language that builds on top of JavaScript by making it possible to declare and describe types. Writing types in our code allows us to explain intent and have other tools check our code to catch mistakes like typos, issues with null and undefined, and more. Types also power TypeScript’s edi

On January 14, 2006, John Resig introduced a JavaScript library called jQuery at BarCamp in New York City. Now, 20 years later, the jQuery team is happy to announce the final release of jQuery 4.0.0.

It is the first major version release in almost 10 years and includes some breaking c
Object Structure in JavaScript EnginesFrom a developer's perspective, objects in JavaScript are quite flexible and understandable. We can add, remove, and modify object properties on our own. However, few people think about how objects are stored in memory and processed by JS engines. Can a developer's actions, directly or indirectly, impact performance and memory consumption? Let's try to delve i

Toggle dark mode What follows is a brain dump of everything I know about compiling Rust to WebAssembly. Enjoy. Some time ago, I wrote a blog post on how to compile C to WebAssembly without Emscripten, i.e. without the default tool that makes that process easy. In Rust, the tool that makes WebAssembly easy is called wasm-bindgen, and we are going to ditch it! At the same time, Rust is a bit differe

WebGPU is an upcoming Web API that gives you low-level, general-purpose access GPUs. I am not very experienced with graphics. I picked up bits and bobs of WebGL by reading through tutorials on how to build game engines with OpenGL and learned more about shaders by watching Inigo Quilez do amazing things on ShaderToy by just using shaders, without any 3D meshes or models. This got me far enough to

Use Thunder Client and VSCode as an alternative to Postman
Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a popular code editor that can be used as an alternative to Postman for API testing.

Using Thunder Client with VSCode for API testing can streamline the development workflow and save time by using a single tool for coding and testing, as this article will sho

Why People are Angry over Go 1.23 Iterators - gingerBill
NOTE: This is based on, but completely rewritten, from a Twitter post: https://x.com/TheGingerBill/status/1802645945642799423 TL;DR It makes Go feel too “functional” rather than being an unabashed imperative language. I recently saw a post on Twitter showing the upcoming Go iterator design for Go 1.23 (August 2024). From what I can gather, many people seem to dislike the design. I wanted to give m

I’ve been trying to write this post at least a dozen times. I don’t mean this figuratively; at one point, I literally had a desktop folder with a dozen abandoned drafts. They had wildly different styles—from rigoruous to chaotically cryptic and insufferably meta; they would start abruptly, chew on themselves, and eventually trail off to nowhere. One by one, I threw them all away because they all s

Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud
Cloud apps like Google Docs and Trello are popular because they enable real-time collaboration with colleagues, and they make it easy for us to access our work from all of our devices. However, by centralizing data storage on servers, cloud apps also take away ownership and agency from users. If a service shuts down, the software stops functioning, and data created with that software is lost. In t

Not only that, but when you're averaging 40 million r
Exactly ten years ago today, we published "Why We Created Julia", introducing the Julia project to the world. At this point, we have moved well past the ambitious goals set out in the original blog post. Julia is now used by hundreds of thousands of people. It is taught at hundreds of universities and entire companies are being formed that build their software stacks on Julia. From personalized me
Introduction: Density Is King (With a Tiny VM) I've previously come to the conclusion that there's little reason for using bytecode in the modern world, except in order to get more compact code, for which it can be very effective. So, what kind of a bytecode engine will give you more compact code? Suppose I want a bytecode interpreter for a very small programming environment, specifically to minim

The Alkyne GC · mcyoung
Alkyne is a scripting language I built a couple of years ago for generating configuration blobs. Its interpreter is a naive AST walker1 that uses ARC2 for memory management, so it’s pretty slow, and I’ve been gradually writing a new evaluation engine for it. This post isn’t about Alkyne itself, that’s for another day. For now, I’d like to write down some notes for the GC I wrote3 for it, and more
