Building @yeoman & Inquirer. Frontend eng manager at @datadoghq Montréal 🛫 San Francisco 🛫 Beijing 🛫 Vancouver
Montréal
Joined July 2010
Inquirer.js launched 10 years ago. Since then, it reached ~30M weekly downloads, and an estimate 7.6M users! I started a rewrite of Inquirer ~5 years ago. Today finally I'm happy to officialize a cut-over to the new and leaner package! All details over at
github.com
Hi all, First of all, I want to say thanks for your support those last 10 years! It's amazing to see Inquirer still getting so much usage (7.6M users!) and so many downloads (~30M per week!) 5 ...

Stop asking AI to refactor one-liners. Start making it grind for 20 minutes while you move on.

Built https://t.co/iO2IPREjAl just so I could bump versions via an interactive select menu instead of typing major/minor/patch manually. Totally NOT over-engineering... 😂 Big shout out to @Vaxilart for the most amazing Inquirer.js library!

Exciting times for @yeoman: @kom_256 and I are taking on project maintenance! 🎩 Yeoman is one of *the* classic web dev tools. It helped pave the way for many of today's create-*s. We're resuming work to get through backlogs & dependency updates. https://t.co/sbj1WUzWcm 1/🧵

Avant de traiter qui que ce soit d'incompétent, M. Poilièvre devrait comprendre qu’au Québec, le financement fédéral en habitation ne passe PAS par les villes. Le « gros bon sens », c'est aussi de comprendre les mécanismes de financement propres à chaque province.
Chute massive de la construction au Québec, tandis que Trudeau verse des milliards aux maires incompétents, Marchand et Plante, qui bloquent des chantiers. L’argent fédéral pour les villes sera lié au nombre de maisons et d’appartements bâtis quand je serai PM.

https://t.co/6qzFb5p2SU Funny how this niche and relatively unknown library is peaking in downloads right now. I bet it is all the people experimenting with LLMs. CC @Vaxilart

This week’s Rational Reminder Podcast episode was really good. TL;DR; - investing in AI (or any other technological revolution) is usually a bad idea for individual investors but good for society; - using AI to try to beat the market is also a bad idea; …
