the replacements.fyi site now lets you drop a package.json into it to see which dependencies can be replaced with native functionality, or more performant choices 🎉
I started from an empty directory, and built a project with Tempest in an hour. It was super fun: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3u...
Did you know:
We are managing 21 variants of our Laravel starter kits 😵💫
That's a lot! And there's a good amount of overlap between the kits.
Internally, we've been using a new tool to manage all of them, and now it's public for all contributors:

Delighted to be launching Fraude Design: the AI-free site builder for genius founders.
For too long, making bad decisions with horrendous amounts of technical debt was limited to founders with an AI license. No more! Now you can make slop without the token usage!

The intrusive thoughts overwhelmed my last two brain cells
I wanted a way to explore Unicode by visual similarity, not just by name or codepoint, so I built Charcutrie.
It lets you browse characters that look alike, search across scripts and symbols, and even sketch a shape to find matching glyphs. (pretty badly for now :D)

Legacy code is like aging: it's a privilege denied to many.
Legacy code means the business model worked for a long time, feeding employee families and keeping the business running.
There's an entire graveyard of modern stacks out there.
Just a reminder: AI doesn't replace workers.
AI just gives executives an excuse to lay off workers, while forcing everyone left to do more with less, for the same amount of pay.
Same game it's always been, just with a new uncritical framing.
