I’ve been participating in CodinGame’s Sprint Challenge during the Twitch streams. This competition is now over and I’ve ranked 216th/4955 overall and 4th/391 in JavaScript 🙃 I didn’t get to my goal but I’ve learned a lot!
🗞 Tech news
Twitter has publicly taken the decision that employees that can work remotely have the option to do so permanently. It’s a big news for the Remote Working movement.
If our employees are in a role and situation that enables them to work from home and they want to continue to do so forever, we will make that happen. ― Twitter
🏅 Open source release of the week
Deno was released, they present the project as “A secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.”. The main advantages from this new JavaScript backend are:
Native TypeScript support
Promises everywhere
Security thanks to the sandboxed runtime
My opinion is that Node has a history of forks that challenged its dominant position (IO.js, Ayo.js). IO.js ended up with a clear improvement for the Node community. Hopefully Deno will also push Node to improve!
So it’s not time to rewrite your apps to Deno, but it’s a cool project to keep your eyes on as it will impact the Node community!

Simple and beautiful UX tips from Steve Schoger:
IE11 support will start to drop around October 2020 (LinkedIn drops support on July 1st, DailyMotion dropped support in February, alongside many others).
