But you are important to us, and that’s what matters

Over a year of work is almost ready, exciting surprises are coming from Express.

Especially a laptop

It actually caught my attention because we had mutual contacts, people I trust and have worked with.

Not checking LinkedIn messages 🫢

I ignore my email, but not LinkedIn, now I guess I have to ignore LinkedIn too

I used to think meetings in open source were important. After being involved in webpack, I’ve realized they’re not. I feel more comfortable there than in projects where meetings feel mandatory and bureaucratic. While occasional meetings help with next steps, they shouldn’t be the norm.

Thanks for contribution!

Thanks Anthropic for the 6 months of Claude Max 20x.

This thing of going to sleep at 1am and waking up at 4am on Wednesdays is going to affect me somehow.

I’m getting tired of people using AI to contribute to open source the wrong way. If you use AI, at least check for existing PRs, be transparent, and understand what you’re doing. Maintainers don’t have unlimited time. Please be considerate.

You are famous

Si usas o planeas usar Clawdbot/OpenClaw (o el nombre que termine teniendo la próxima semana), échale un vistazo a este video (youtu.be/QFhDB3UEFm8?...), súper recomendado. La seguridad es lo primordial, por encima de todo. Es una herramienta excelente y le tengo muchísimo hype.

And what if we rewrote Express in Rust?

Congratulations!

After months (yes, months, because I have a life beyond open source) I finally finished the draft PR I had to add HTTP/2 support to on-finished, also thanks to the help of my Express teammates. Feel free to review it, any help is welcome.
