Automating Tests with Jest
When I think about Continuous Integration, one of the first things that comes to my mind is testing. It's amazing how much more confident you can be about changes to your codebase when you have a good suite of tests, and you know they run before every merge.

React 18 Working Group
This is the working group for React 18 release. It was formed to provide support to the community through the release.
React 18 Working Group
This is the working group for React 18 release. It was formed to provide support to the community through the release. The working group is focused around online conversations which you can access by going to the GitHub Discussions tab.
The working group is currently structured to help manage discussions yet make the information available to everyone. If you're looking for the first discussion to read, Introducing React 18 is a good starting point.
Working group participants come from a representative set of the React community including educators, developers, and library authors. Participants can start GitHub discussions to ask questions and provide feedback on React 18. They can also comment on existing discussion threads. All discussions are public and available for everyone to follow along.
To learn more about the React 18 Working Group and its mission, check out The Plan for React 18.

prisma
Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB
What is Prisma?
Prisma is a next-generation ORM that consists of these tools:
- Prisma Client: Auto-generated and type-safe query builder for Node.js & TypeScript
- Prisma Migrate: Declarative data modeling & migration system
- Prisma Studio: GUI to view and edit data in your database
Prisma Client can be used in any Node.js or TypeScript backend application (including serverless applications and microservices). This can be a REST API, a GraphQL API, a gRPC API, or anything else that needs a database.
The Prisma ORM can also further be extended with these Prisma products:
- Prisma Accelerate: Global database cache with scalable connection pooling
- Prisma Pulse: Real-time database events with type-safe subscriptions
- Prisma Optimize: AI-powered query optimization and performance insights
- Prisma Studio: A visual editor for the data in your database

cuid
Collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and binary search lookup performance.
Status: Deprecated due to security. Use Cuid2, instead.
Note: All monotonically increasing (auto-increment, k-sortable), and timestamp-based ids share the security issues with Cuid. V4 UUIDs and GUIDs are also insecure because it's possible to predict future values of many random algorithms, and many of them are biased, leading to increased probability of collision. Likewise, UUID V6-V8 are also insecure because they leak information which could be used to exploit systems or violate user privacy. Here are some example exploits:

Currently available for Node, browsers, Java, Ruby, .Net, Go, and many other languages (see ports below — more ports are welcome).
cuid() returns a short random string with some collision-busting measures. Safe to use as…
