I have just shipped llms txt files to @trpcio, your AI can now have full context about tRPC and it's latest iterations πŸ‘€ This also includes versioned txt files for V9 and V10 so no one is left out. You can even one shot a tRPC setup into your applications with this 😳

Tailwind config is optional now (still works with one! less stuff = less maintenance, good thing) React Router's API did not change between v6 and v7, just added alternatives (i'm still using the v5 api on v7 lmao) React itself has a truly absurd, obsessive level of back compat. Next.js does as well. Never had issues with apps of almost any size when bumping those deps. Even more "bleeding edge" tools like React Query and tRPC usually provide code mods when they make meaningful changes to their APIs. This is such a non-issue - the ONLY "victim" is people who make tutorials and educational materials. Net win for everyone else.

We just released our new TanStack Query adapter for @trpcio powered by the `queryOptions` API. Codemod available (still a bit of a WIP but works quite well) for simple migration. Read the announcement and leave your thoughts: trpc.io/blog/introducing-tan…

We're about to release a new @trpcio x @tan_stack package and are working on a codemod - anyone good at wrangling these things and wants to help out? We can offer beer-money in return πŸ»πŸ€‘

I see a recurring thing on X like "why nobody shipped an alternative TS type-checker that is fast and compliant", I'll try to answer. For context I've worked closely with the type-checker for a fork of TS and I've closely inspected all the efforts to date (even tried myself).

Went through with @mattpocockuk's free AI Hero course, was really fun! Built a little @trpcio server that does the communication with the APIs, works really nice with the streaming! Repo below πŸ‘‡
