Oh jeez, spam bots have reached the trpc github repo. @github, surely you could detect and prevent this message from ever being sent?

Got any little grievances with the API design of tRPC that could be considered a breaking change? We're cooking a new major; the main goal is to improve our own quality-of-life by cleaning up deprecated stuff & removing v9 support 😌 Post below 🙏👇 github.com/trpc/trpc/issues/…

We had a new major of @trpcio brewing for >6 months and this was a really big pain point tbh

Hey @github could you please make it so we could set up these differently for different branch targets? When working on a new major of a project, it's useful to i.e: - have the `main` branch be "Allow squash" only, & - the `next-major`-branch to "Allow merge" only

😍🤩 Thank you so much @alexdotjs for the monthly GitHub Sponsors donation! 🤑 I will use this sponsorship to shout linting recommendations at *even more* people across Mastodon and Twitter. 🫡

Ok, LinkedIn won't be the next Twitter at least. 😂 I've actually never received this kind of clueless/rude/arrogant hot take here in regards to @trpcio 🤡

Update: we ended up re-enabling `ban-types` after @JoshuaKGoldberg told me off, thanks!

This was v fun! I reverted everything chris had done & then I rewrote pretty much exactly the same code before we fixed the actual issue. Debugging TS is hard & grokking half-working code is even harder
got to pair program with the GOAT @alexdotjs for a bit. my brain is fried.

Great thread on how to mitigate slow DX & compilation times in your TS projects (I've quote tweeted this before, but I'll do it again! Thanks @TkDodo)
The #TypeScript compiler might not be the fastest - but why is that such a big problem? "We have a large project" - I get that, but there are other things you can do that will impact development speed and DX:

OpenGraph images are the first thing your users see when you share your links, so why not do something cool with them - such as displaying live stats about the project! All made possible using @vercel og-image. trpc.io
