While it's always great to see performance gains, my largest pain point with prettier was never performance. Instead my only gripe with prettier is the "line wrapping noise" it creates, illustrated here by Anthony Fu: https://antfu.me/posts/why-not-prettier#the-line-wrapping-noise
Would it be realistic to expect a solution for this issue now that "prettier needs to step up it's game"?

These are also very cool: https://antfu.me/posts/ai-qrcode
Diffusion image generation constrained to also be a valid QR code

Anthony Fu’s epoch versioning scheme (to differentiate breaking change majors from "marketing" majors) could yield easy winners here, at least on the raw version number alone (not the number of sequential versions released):

Anthony Fu (https://antfu.me/projects).
Should to be known widely.
The guy is a living legend.

>But a QR code would definitely be audible as a series of quiet beeps, unless you exploited auditory masking. The article we are discussing, and just a cursory google search, may interest you.

Haven't seen it mentioned, but if you like Tailwind, maybe take a look at UnoCSS: https://github.com/unocss/unocss
It is like the next evolution of Tailwind. See this blog post for full explanation: https://antfu.me/posts/reimagine-atomic-css

I think WindiCSS came up with it earlier than Tailwind. See https://antfu.me/posts/windicss-and-tailwind-jit
