just shipped a feature at @Sentry that notifies you of web vitals performance issues... and, more importantly, it can root cause and fix 'em for you. as a self proclaimed terrible frontend developer, I find this pretty cool. https://t.co/rPfk60VytK

Sentry now flags poor Web Vitals on your highest opportunity pages and helps you fix them with Seer. Spot slowdowns early and ship a faster, more stable experience.

can anyone recommend software for remote administrating a parent's laptop. I'm looking for the best cheapest option.

I built a retro adventure game for @getsentry hack week. You should try it out: https://t.co/ZFN53y6IIK Note, it doesn't work great on mobile yet.

had the realization this weekend that LLMs have gotten good enough for me to rapidly prototype snarky Sierra-style games.

I was thinking of this incident at @npmjs when I helped build Sentry's cache monitoring.
Our latest blog post highlights a real-world incident that almost brought down @npmjs servers in 2016, as recounted by our very own Ben Coe. Then, @nikolovlazar walks us through how this could've been caught + fixed faster with cache monitoring on Sentry 🧠 Link in next tweet

I love checking my dashboard, but it's rad. Jokes aside, I'm really excited to see my team's work at @getsentry coming together. If you build software, you should check it out.
"I love manually checking 7 dashboards every morning" — said no one ever 🧵 we just shipped a faster way to go from observation to action with new updates to Sentry Insights

In the newest versions of Node.js, did you know you can now require ESM modules? This has motivated me to do my first major overhaul of yargs in years. It will soon be ESM first: https://t.co/OFJghIZ5lX

See: https://joyeecheung.github.io/blog/2024/03/18/require-esm-in-node-js/ for what's motivating this work. Yargs build step to be dual-mode ESM / CJS had created a fragile build process th...

imagine you could do anything... what metrics do you wish you could collect to help understand and improve your production frontend app? some ideas: - component-level performance measurements. - a central collector for the User Timing API. - something, something, LLMs.
