What happened last week - issue #54
This week: Bun, Front Matter CMS, Turbo and more
What happened last week
Last week, I spent quite a lot of time working with Front Matter CMS. Together with Elio Struyf, we did an episode of the Code and Coffee Show about it. I’m in the middle of adding Front Matter support for my Pacamara Theme, and I wrote an article about using Front Matter CMS on my blog.
Speaking of Code And Coffee Show - I just scheduled the next episode of it. This time, together with Wiktoria Dalach, we’ll talk about security.
Apart from this, I had a chance to do a nice ride during the weekend. I learned that there is a fantastic coffee place in a village called Rotten Muds near Łódź.

I met Wiktoria during Code Europe in Warsaw when she gave a great talk about security. I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to ask if she’d be interested in being a guest at the Code And Coffee Show.

Open source hooliganism and the TypeScript meltdown — David Heinemeier Hansson
Speaking of Turbo - David announced they are dropping the TypeScript support last week. What happened next was that hell broke loose. It’s still to watch how some developers are behaving just because someone decides to drop their favorite tool.
It’s also one of the dark sides of creating Open Source software.
