Check out how @left_pad and @babeljs are automating maintainer burdens:
Saw @mjackson, @dan_abramov, and others talking about a problem with comments on old, closed issues so I just wrote up a short story about that: An Issue with Issues henryzoo.com/blog/2018/05/06…

I think we'll need to introduce some kind of smart config linting: seeing a lot of duplicated plugins/presets since people don't know what's doing what (understandably) and docs don't explain enough or people "just don't care" ☺️

🙂 So @github shipped some changes to issue creation/templates! Here's @babeljs atm: - This is definitely better than before (if limited) - I think emojis will help 😎 - Need a dedicated one for support questions/responses - Customizable text/link/labeling, structured data

Even better, most projects have a great way to double down as investors or stakeholders to these projects. Like @webpack opencollective.com/webpack/d… And @babeljs We want to create lasting partnerships and prove our value so investments in your own tools are a no-brainer. nitter.catsarch.com/jasnell/status/9917632…

It honestly still blows my mind that @babeljs and @webpack even exist. They have been our windows to the future and have made my life as a developer 100x more interesting and rewarding. PLUS, they’re both open source. Thank you.

Second month supporting @babeljs on @left_pad 's patreon. Feeling as fulfilling as the first one 😊

I love when @left_pad shares this quote in his talks because it is so powerful, and aligns with everything I believe in, for building Open Source communities. It is the motivation for almost everything I do at #webpack.

Somebody extend @babeljs to split contexts by wrapping closures in individual block contexts. I'm curious whether that can prevent memory leaks.

Use @babeljs to transform @GraphQL query (like gql`somequery {}`) to webpack loader syntax, then let webpack perform the query at compile time, good/bad idea?
