There are a number of useful little functions in node:util besides util.inspect() that I’m only just familiarising myself with after admittedly rolling my own versions for a number of them. Hmm, should’ve read through this documentation page more carefully sooner.
e.g., util.deprecate(), util.diff(), util.debugLog(), util.isDeepStrictEqual(), etc.
New Kitten release
• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).
PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.
PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

The usual end-of-something/something-is-doomed article on Medium.
I wonder why a lot of people insist in considering dead some technologies which are calmly and peacefully around since ages and with no intention to die, thanks to a reasonably percentage of devs and users that depend on them happily.
I have a couple of suspects, but for the usual click-bait strategy. Promoting new stuff at all costs is one of them. #dev #foss #fomo
“On a décidé de le faire en interne pour économiser.”
Dans 90% des cas, cette mauvaise décision te fait perdre de l’argent :
Quand tu es en entreprise et que tu veux répondre à un besoin, tu as deux choix.
Le faire toi-même (investissement en temps) L’externaliser (investissement en argent)
Quand tu as un service IT, tu es tenté de tout faire par toi-même.
Tu as besoin d’un outil → tes développeurs vont le créer.

Mulla on nyt itsetehty markdown-editori johon lisään erillisiin kenttiin frontmatterit ja päivämäärä tulee automaagisesti jne. MD tiedostopäätteinen filu ladataan tallettaessa sitten blogitekstien kansioon ja Astro tekee sille sitten taikoja.
Onko jotain muitakin MD-editoreita jotka handlaisivat frontmatterin tai voisi tehdä jonkun templaten jolla voisi tehdä saman. Editorini on hyvä, mutta lisätietämys aiheesta olisi rok.
New Kitten release
• Fix: messages that are promises are properly awaited before being sent.
Kitten automatically and transparently handles asynchronous content in your templates for you so you don’t have to worry about it. One place where this wasn’t working properly is if you addressed `this.component` to stream a custom update of your component manually instead of calling the `this.update()` method of Kitten component instances.
e.g.,
```js
export default class AdminPage extends kitten.Page {
// …
onSelectedPost (data) {
this.send(kitten.html`<${this.component} postId='${data.selectedPost.postId}' />`)
}
}
```
Une très saine lecture si vous êtes développeur ou développeuse et êtes tenté(e) par les fausses promesses des outils de développement qui utilisent massivement l'intelligence artificielle.

Let's introduce the BSSG dev blog!
https://blog.bssg.dragas.net/2025/04/13/welcome-to-the-bssg-dev-blog/
Stay tuned, as a new release is just around the corner!
“slopsquatting, a new term for a surprisingly effective type of software supply chain attack that emerges when LLMs “hallucinate” package names that don’t actually exist. If you’ve ever seen an AI recommend a package and thought, “Wait, is that real?”—you’ve already encountered the foundation of the problem.
And now attackers are catching on.”

Feel like I really not updating a lot of my old project but today is the day I do!
finally updated my fork of imgs (A simple image sharing platform) imgp to support account, image management and API creation besides the original S3 storage modification
New Kitten feature: Icons!
You can now make use of a subset of the icons in the Phosphor icons set by @minoraxis and @rektdeckard.
https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#icons
Search through them in your editor by referencing `kitten.icons.categories` and `kitten.icons.tags`.
Add this to a file called index.page.js and run `kitten` to see a large duotone pink cat (because why not?):
export default function () {
return kitten.html`
<${kitten.icons.c.Cat}
size=40%
weight=duotone
colour=deeppink
/>
`
}
(And yes, the set includes icons for the fediverse. This one of the reasons I chose it.) ;)
Enjoy!
How to simplify integration testing in C# in 2025 ?
Integration tests are usually seen as slow, fragile or cumbersome. In today's article I present 2 techniques that will mitigate these drawbacks : snapshot testing and containers. I will describe each of them along with tools that can be used in C# and of course a sample project to illustrate my points.

Coming tomorrow to Kitten… Kitten icons!
Kitten will have built-in support for the Phosphor icons set with full authoring-time language intelligence where you can search for icons via category and tag (in addition to the canonical alphabetical categorisation).
Thought this was going to take me a few hours but it took a few days thanks to running into issues with size limits, type inference from JavaScript types in modules, etc., with the TypeScript language server but I believe I’ve finally cracked it :)
