This week’s reads blend cutting-edge tech with practical insights, like how Aspire elevates JavaScript to a first-class citizen in modern development, or why AI’s push toward typed languages might just be the future. From building a self-hosted model registry to uncovering AI’s surprising role in video
production (who knew Adobe had a sound AI gem?), there’s plenty to unpack. And if data-driven wardrobe experiments count as quirky, this week’s got you covered too.
Programming
- Aspire for JavaScript developers (David Pine) - JavaScript and all its frameworks are now first citizen in Aspire. This post explains what it means and what the benefits are for developers.
AI
Why AI is pushing developers toward typed languages (Cassidy Williams) - This post shares the evolution of which AI uses languages. I would agree, as I noticed TypeScript was used in more and more blog posts and videos I was seeing online
Self-hosting a MCP Registry for discovery using modelcontextprotocol.io registry (Dominique St-Amand) - Nice real-life story about how to build a full app to help manage all those MCP servers
What AI Has (and Hasn't) Taken Over in Video Production (Golnaz Alibeigi) - As someone who creates a lot of video content, I agree with Golnaz and was surprised by the Adobe sound thing. I didn't know about that.
Miscellaneous
- I tracked everything I wore in 2025. Was it worth it? - I never thought about data related to my wardrobe, but playing with data and trying to understand what it means and how it can be used, that's always a fun thing. Thanks for sharing
