topic: Ember

Everything I’ve written on the subject, from the beginning of this version of the site.

I may also have written on this on earlier versions of my website:

2006 – 2011 (link coming soon!)
did not have a blog!
2012 – 2013 (link coming soon!)
2014 – 2019

      At long last — literally over a year late! — we just published our revised, Octane-ready docs for ember-cli-typescript. They’re far from perfect, but we’ll iterate from here. And keep your eyes open: lots more motion in this space over the next six months!

      Going to write up a deep dive blog post on this, but for tonight, a preview: Ember.get (or _.get or R.prop) with nested keys working correctly and robustly in TypeScript — play with a demo here.

      Recorded my EmberConf 2021 talk, ‘Keep It Local’ yesterday. It is easily the best talk I’ve ever given, and the one I’m proudest of. I dare say that it actually says something meaningfully new about software development: synthesizing many streams into a single coherent story. 😅 Mad props to Jaimie Krycho for helping me nail down everything from personal style to lighting for the recording!

      Pleased to publish an RFC to make TypeScript an officially supported language in Ember!

      Just published a small experiment I’ve been mulling on for the past week or so: ember-simple-track-helper. It’s basically the same idea as React’s useState hook, for Glimmer and Ember “template-only components” — places you don’t really need a backing class.
      
      (As with all my recent packages, this is following the spec for SemVer for TypeScript I have been working on. So far it’s working well! Hopefully-final revisions to that RFC inbound in the weeks ahead!)
