I don't know if this is a debate at all but its something I think about. Just because producing code is cheap doesn't mean we should produce more of it. Code isn't just an asset. It is a liability.
A lot of my recent work is about reducing the amount of code to express something rather than increase it. It isn't for immediate cost savings though. It's that verbosity is a tax we pay at every turn. It's always easy to add another constraint, another check, but they keep adding up.
To be fair these are things I encounter in my own work, but if the primitives bear the brunt of the cost maybe you don't have to.

Daniel Roe just shipped my-bad v1 π
Now powering error pages in @nuxt_js v4.6+, and it works with any framework.
It captures errors, transforms them, and renders them wherever you need: HTML pages, a client overlay, ANSI, or Markdown (with live updates as you fix issues).

The crazy part is that replacing magic-string with muggle-string noticeably improved the Vue compilerβs performance, memory use, and source map accuracy.

Hey content creators, there's a fairly site called SocialDB that scraped public data to make profiles for sponsorship listings without telling you.
It's particularly shady because they claim they'll "hold payments in escrow" until a deal is reached with a fake sponsorship listing they make for you.
You can search for yourself and request to be removed here:
socialdb.xyz/contact
There is a site that is taking advantage of creators' public info and claiming to help foster sponsorship deals despite the fact that creators did not consent to be on the platform.
I am in no way affiliated with SocialDB and caution everyone else against this site and its clearly shady practices.
I would be very cautious about this "sponsorship platform" called SocialDB / socialdb.xyz .
- Domain created 46 days ago.
- Claims to have 14K sponsors (and 956K influencers).
- Hidden registrar (lists an apartment building on-site).
- ScamAdvisor Warning + Gridinsoft Warning.

Obsidian 1.15 is now available! Some highlights:
1. Mermaid diagrams use our new rendering engine, Pele, which renders up to 500 times faster and uses your theme's colors and fonts.
2. Voice capture on iOS: record and transcribe voice notes as you speak, even from the Lock Screen.
4. PDF export on mobile.
5. Smarter list editing: indenting or moving a list item now moves nested items too.
6. Accent-insensitive search: cafe matches cafΓ© in suggestions.
7. Community plugins load faster when the app starts.

Great research from Nolan Lawson on the AI cost of JavaScript frameworks, with benchmarks, not vibes.
@nuxt_js comes out strong for the agentic era:
- Fewest tokens of any framework (even fewer than vanilla JS)
- Near the top for cost and time per run
- Second-fewest lines of code to maintain
The cheapest code is the code the agent never has to write.

Impressive. @vuejs + content mappers + tsrs are amazing!
Tested this on the @nuxt_js ui repo and can't wait to see the impact on big Vue projects π₯
ALT Nuxt UI type-checking benchmark across 208 Vue files. Time: vue-tsc + TS6, 15.35 seconds; vue-tsc + TS7.1, 3.76 seconds, vue-tsc + tsrs, 2.08 seconds. Peak memory: 1,823 MiB, 1,751 MiB, and 991 MiB respectively. Lower is better for both metrics.
Vue Language Tools v4 alpha is out.
TypeScript 7's own tsc now type-checks .vue files via @vue/content-mapper, no more vue-tsc.
* Editor support isn't ready yet.

One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including @obsdmd 1.15 and @bot! Many improvements this week:
- Even faster rendering!
- Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc
- Gradients in sankey diagrams
- Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs
- Subscript, superscript and inline code in labels + text styles: kbd, underline, ins, cite and others
On a personal note, I am so grateful for all the love Pele received! I truly did not expect it.
My hope with Pele was to get a few bug reports ahead of the Obsidian release, so it's a wonderful feeling to see it adopted so quickly. I take this as a great honor and responsibility.
If you added Pele to your app or website, feel free to share it below π
