    It's been a long few years of not being able to talk about what we're working on, so it's really strange to be able to say: "This is it."
    From award-winning game designer @helvetica and engineer @orta, along with @hearst_np (cc: @Hearst), Puzzmo is a fresh spin on a cultural mainstay: the newspaper games page. Be among the first to play at puzzmo.com #puzzmo #puzzmotoday #sneakpeek

    Wow, hey, so I’m gonna be working on @TypeScript at Microsoft. How cool is that?!? I’ll be working at the intersection of JS and tooling at industry scale.

    I feel like there’s a lot of clever under-appreciated design work going on in non-mainstream Linux distros nowadays. - CuteFish - Pop!_os - elementaryOS

    Hey folks, even if you're not planning on using Mastodon instantly, you should take some time this week to create an account and set up your follows. Twitter is starting to charge for API access to the migration tools in 5 days, meaning the migration tools will probably break.

    Hey folks, this is as good a time as any to announce that after 7.5 years - I’m leaving @artsyopensource Artsy’s in great hands with the rest of the team and I’m *super* pumped about what I’m going to do next, but I can’t talk about it yet.

    If you were interested in the classes @typescript cheat-sheet yesterday, here’s an up-to-date version, plus the rest of the set. Probably just a design pass to do now and ship for next week’s deploy. Latest versions always in Figma: figma.com/file/x8FJrNqj6…

    2018: The year JS tools help out other eco-systems. * @PrettierCode / @fbjest / @DangerSystems all have plugins for other languages * #webpack supports native code like @rustlang * @code / @AtomEditor are replacing general IDEs * @reactnative / @expo_io simplify mobile dev

    The new @code allows you to write some custom UI. This is awesome. I’ve just added support for @reactnative @storybookjs inline.

    Happy Monday folks, here’s a version of Wordle which runs entirely in the @typescript type system. Code is fully annotated. I made this to avoid answering an awkward question in the @RedwoodJS contributors chat. tsplay.dev/wQ5RZw
