Articles that I read lately and felt the need to share/ I agreed with them. The date corresponds to the time I read it, not the time article was published.
✒️ I might or not add comments, I only add them when I have something positive to say.
I try to keep them up to 70 words in length.
Vercel's official guide on building agents is surprisingly practical. It walks you through the LLM-tool-loop pattern without overcomplicating things. If you're already in the Next.js ecosystem, this is the smoothest on-ramp to agentic AI I've found.
This one hit home. The author's advice on hybridizing LLMs with traditional code and using Zod schemas for structured outputs matches exactly what I've been doing. Real battle-tested wisdom here, not just theory.
Mark nails it: agents are just loops that can do stuff. Sometimes we overthink this. Building your own agent from scratch—even a simple one—teaches you more than any framework ever will. Highly recommend actually coding along.
Cool article showing the two ways of writing full-stack React: Server Components and loaders.
I agree, TypeScript enums are crazy, it's good to know its pitfalls. This article talks about it and proposes a safer alternative.
This library looks very cool as I am a user of zustand and React-Redux, and this looks like a child of both. And compatible with any front-end framework! Recommended if you want to keep up to date with the latest state management libraries.
This article is about how Google does its indexing in the current era of artifical Intelligence content. I heavily reccomend reading it since it is great for those who need to rank their content in this search engine.
Article about the forking of redis because it turned propietary software. My opinion: It seems that the project Valkey is more focused on improving the project while redic has a more "free software philosophy" approach. I advice to do your own research before migrating to an alternative if you need to.
An interesting read about the history of the latest front-end frameworks and comparasion between their fundamentals.
A great read about the struggles of React Server Components on the Next.js metaframework.
Bun is a JavaScript (and TypeScript) runtime, bundler, test runner and package manager. A complete alternative to Node, NPM, ESBuild, Webpack and other tools. The amazing performance it has means a lot for me. I am super excited for this release, I want this tool to success and become the new standard. If you are used to Node and npm please check it out, it will blow your mind!
Excellent read that talks about the experiences of JavaScript developers that try to support both ES-modules and CommonJS at the same time. I really hope we can transition to only ES-modules soon.
I love SQLite, I think it is a great database, but I always been told that "you don't go to production" with it. Now seeing it becoming "a great option for the Edge" where people are aiming to deploy right now, it is surreal for me. I am very happy for the team that worked on it, and I hope that people can find more use cases for it!.
Deno is a fantastic tool that gives new breath to the JavaScript ecosystem, I like how you can just download one binary and start using it, no need to install Node.js or any other package manager. However, I still need to learn how to properly setup a full project with just Deno. Right now, I use it for small scripts and tools.
Agreed on this, tools fits needs, there cannot be an ultimate problem solver.
All you need to know about creating a blog, from choosing a generator to deploying it.
In this long article, the author goes through xer experience with cryptocurrencies and NFT. I must admit I have been a user of this technology, and it saddens me the amount of scams that are around it, transaction fees, third-parties and required KYC verifications. Overall, I enjoyed this article, I recommend reading it while taking breaks.
Agreed on this, people take for granted liability on Open Source software.
