If you’re curious about compilers, @pikuma’s course is a must - clear, extremely thorough, and inspiring from start to finish. I highly recommend it.

I built a compiler that emits raw WebAssembly bytecode from the Pinky scripting language. Was a challenging project and took a few long weekends, but finishing it was very rewarding. I wrote it in TypeScript + Wasm. You can play with it here:

I implemented the #WordPress block parser in rust mostly following the spec (handles some failures differently). It's not faster than what's in core but maybe I can optimize it in the future. Was a fun weekend project.

Added some tooling to the Pattern CSS #WordPress plugin to make adding custom animation to blocks (and synced patterns) easy and intuitive. Search "pattern css" or see it on GitHub.

Really sad to read about @ljharb being bullied here and accused of "possibly" landing a supply chain attack. Not only has he dedicated well over a decade of his life to open source he's been helping and mentoring others on IRC for just as long, including myself.
I dug in to the history here. Folks, @ljharb is legit as an #OpenSource maintainer. Backwards compatibility impacts so many things and I admire those who maintain it.

The #WordPress Docs Raycast extension set up by @tillkruss just got an exciting update. We've added an action (use ⌘ ⇧ ↵) to generate an AI summary of any function/hook/etc in the WordPress documentation. Including a code usage example. (Raycast Pro only)

I'm primarily a JavaScript developer but something about the Laravel community has always resonated with me, and I'm always happy to contribute back.
Laravel is nothing without the awesome community around it constantly building awesome stuff ❤️.
