Bloomberg JS Blog The official Bloomberg JavaScript blog - insights, tutorials, and best practices from Bloomberg's JavaScript engineering team.

Some time ago, @jonkuperman.com & @tchetwin.bsky.social had a dream for the JS engineers at Bloomberg to be more public about the cool JS work we have going on.

That dream has come true - now we have a blog platform πŸŽ‰

(You'll see more articles over the next few days)

Left Virgin after they left our entire street without internet for five days, but gave us daily updates that the issue would resolved β€œwithin hours”

Moved to EE (stable but slow), then to Hyperoptic (stable and blazing fast).

Really need to whip up a tool to block everyone who liked a post as well as its author. Doing it manually took ages.

And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak 
And smash his hands so used to stroke 
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.

And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears: And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell.

The later stanzas of Betjeman’s β€œSlough” are just as appropriate as its opening β€œCome friendly bombs” in this context…

I must not Tailwind
Tailwind is the style-killer
Tailwind is the little-death that brings class plethora
I'll face Tailwind
I'll permit it to pass over and through my site
And when it's gone past I'll turn the inner eye to see its code
Where Tailwind has gone there'll be nothing
Only CSS will remain

I know I told you how awesome it was to watch you effortlessly bossing the stage, but I should have also congratulated you on making it absolutely hilarious and a *really* clever way of showing how flexible GSAP is: would never have occurred to me to use it with canvas… Top dev rel-ing to boot! πŸ™Œ

I think I would rather eliminate the barrel files than let the compiler work around them, but thanks for the pointer: definitely interesting! 🫢
