| 2/16/26 | 132: What Developers Really Think: State of JS 2025 Survey Results | The State of JavaScript 2025 survey results are in this week, and there’s some givens and some surprises this year. Givens: Vite's still a favorites and devs want more native TS features. Surprises: ChatGPT usage declined, no one’s using Windsurf, and Bun is the third most-used JS runtime. And thanks for making us the most written-in podcast of the survey! We appreciate it!

| 2/9/26 | 131: OpenClaw and the Wild West of Autonomous AI Agents | Malicious code is making its way into VS Code extensions this week, as two Chinese-based AI coding assistants are identified as capturing every file on a user’s computer and sending it to servers in China without their knowledge or consent. Please just be cautious about what you’re installing on your machines, folks. In related news, the Deno team has introduced Deno sandboxes to create and deploy secure, isolated VMs in the cloud.

| 2/2/26 | 130: TanStack Start Embraces RSC—Minus the Security Nightmares | You heard it here first, folks, RSC support is now available in TanStack Start! Since TanStack Start supports not only React but also Solid, it handles serialization differently, meaning the critical security vulnerabilities RSC-enabled React apps have been suffering from lately won’t affect TanStack apps. Yarn 6 was recently announced, and (surprise, surprise) it’s going to be ported to Rust.

| 1/26/26 | 129: The Era of Humans Writing Code is Over | jQuery is the JavaScript library that just won’t quit. 20 years after its inception the team released jQuery 4.0.0, and it brings some notable modernizations including removed support for IE 10, a migration to ES modules, and support for Trusted Types. Node.js creator Ryan Dahl declared earlier this week that “the era of humans writing code is over”, and considering how good AI coding agents have gotten lately, he’s probably not wrong. Cloudflare also announces it has acquired pop... | 50m 35s | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | 128: What the Heck is a Ralph Wiggum Loop? | A new year, a new tactic to stem the flow of npm supply chain attacks. This time, the proposal is for “Staged Publishing” which introduces a review window that a package owner must approve before a package release becomes publicly available. Vercel Labs is out with a new AI tool called json-render that lets users generate dashboards, widgets, apps, and data visualizations from prompts, and constrains the response to JSON for only components pre-defined by the user.

| 1/12/26 | 127: Are People Leaving Next.js for TanStack Start? | We’re back with our first episode of 2026, and prominent software developer and YouTuber, Theo Browne, made waves recently when he announced he’d migrated his T3 Chat app from the Next.js framework to TanStack Start. It isn’t that Next.js is bad, but that the requirements of T3 Chat were better supported by TanStack Start’s architecture, and Theo breaks down his evaluation process to reach that decision. For the 10th year in a row, the JavaScript Rising Stars report drops, and the most popula... | 46m 46s | ||||||
