Oxlint: The Blazingly Fast Linter That Makes ESLint Look Like a Snail
import { Picture } from ‘astro:assets’; TL;DR: Oxlint is a Rust-powered JavaScript/TypeScript linter that’s 50-100x faster than ESLint. Zero config, 700+ rules, type-aware linting, and it’s from the Oxidation Compiler (Oxc) project. If you’ve ever waited 30 seconds for npm run lint to finish, this is your redemption arc. ⚡ The Problem: ESLint is Slow as a Snail Let me tell you about the time I almost threw my laptop out the window. It was a Tuesday. I made a one-line change to ...
Continue: The Open-Source AI Coding Assistant That Works Inside Your Existing IDE (No $20/Month Required)
Look, Can We Talk About Copilot’s Pricing Problem?I love GitHub Copilot. I really do. The code completions are solid, it integrates nicely with VS Code, and it saves me from typing console.log for the millionth time. But $10/month for each developer? For something that’s basically “send your code to OpenAI’s API and show the response in a sidebar”? That’s $120/year per dev. For a team of 10, that’s $1,200/year — just for AI autocomplete. And then there’s the privacy issue. You...
Umami: The Privacy-First Web Analytics That Makes Google Analytics Look Like Spyware
Let me tell you about the moment I realized Google Analytics is spyware. I was setting up a simple portfolio website for a friend. Just a single-page site with a contact form. Nothing fancy. I added Google Analytics (because, you know, “you need analytics”). Then I ran the site through a privacy checker. Result: The website drops 14 cookies. It sends data to 8 different Google domains. It tracks users across 97% of the internet (thanks to Google’s ad network). Oh, and it requires a Cookie ba...
Farm: The Rust Build Tool That Makes Vite Look Like Slow Motion (And It's Not Even Close)
The Build Tool Speed Hierarchy (or: How Fast Is “Fast Enough”?)Let me tell you about the day I discovered Farm. I was optimizing our company’s monorepo build pipeline (because who doesn’t love spending Friday afternoons staring at webpack progress bars?). We’d already migrated from Webpack to Vite, and the speedup was decent — from “go get lunch” to “go get coffee”. Then I saw a benchmark tweet that made me spit out my coffee: “Farm: 6x faster than Vite, 20x faster than Webpack. HMR in 10ms....

Hono: The Ultra-Fast Web Framework That Makes Express Look Like a Turtles 🔥
（Yeah, that’s a flame… because Hono means “flame” in Japanese! 🔥） 🐢 So, You’re Still Using Express?Look, I’m not gonna bash Express.

We’ve got: 🚀 Rocket ships going to Mars 🤖 AI agents writing code for us ⚡ Quantum computers (okay, maybe not yet, but soon!) And you’re still using a web framework from 2010? Bruh. 💀 🔥 What the Hell is Hono?Hono (pronounced...
Goose: The Open-Source AI Agent That Makes Claude Code Look Like a Toy
You know that feeling when you see an AI coding tool and think, “Meh, it’s just another GPT wrapper”? Yeah, that was me when I first heard about Goose. I was like, “Oh great, another ‘AI coding assistant’ that can’t even fix a missing semicolon without crying for help.” I was wrong. Turns out, Goose is the real deal. It’s an open-source, Rust-powered, general-purpose AI agent that doesn’t just suggest code — it installs dependencies, writes code, runs tests, debugs failures, and deploys y...
Superpowers: Make Your AI Coding Assistant Overpowered (Like a 10x Developer on Red Bull 🤯)
Look, I get it. You’ve tried using AI coding assistants. You’ve asked Claude Code to “build me a login page.” And what did you get? A half-baked React component with no tests, hardcoded credentials, and enough security vulnerabilities to make a hacker weep with joy. 😭 Here’s the thing: AI coding assistants are like junior developers on crack. They write code fast, but they have NO IDEA what they’re doing. They don’t write tests. They don’t do code review. They don’t follow TDD. They just… ...

TL;DR: Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework with memory and self-learning capabilities, built by NousResearch, with 155k+ stars on GitHub. If you’ve used Claude Code or Cursor, you know their fatal flaw—every conversation feels like talking to someone with amnesia, and you have to explain your project 50 times.
