Arduous. That word describes the experience of consuming npm feeds on DevOps on Azure, when developing using Mac or Linux. My new project aims to simplify it. Take a look at Azure DevOps npm auth-lite github.com/johnnyreilly/a… I'm writing a post to introduce it; should be up soon.

It's the annual "drain-off" when the river's level is dropped so that the banks can be repaired

New ado-npm-auth-lite feature: if the initial API based PAT acquisition fails, ado-npm-auth-lite falls back to using the Azure CLI with execa. Not sure why the API call sometimes fails, but I encountered it on a private project and the AZ CLI works fine 🤷 github.com/johnnyreilly/a…

Long before the dawn

Whilst naming things is hard, happily renaming things is not. I awoke with the strong feeling that ado-npm-auth-lite would be better named azdo-npm-auth, and after only a little work, it now is! johnnyreilly.com/introducing-az…

DevEx with npm would be so much better if it were possible to run a preinstall script without it using the project .npmrc file. As it is, you have to work around this shortcoming by having more complex `npm install` approaches johnnyreilly.com/introducing-az…

Each morning the dawn gets further away

Migrated my Docusaurus powered blog to use rspack powered Docusaurus Faster. Build now takes 3 minutes instead of 4 (I was already using SWC in my build so speed improvements not as extreme.) Very happy with ease of migration and results! github.com/johnnyreilly/b…

Magnificent skyline

It's a monochrome world before dawn

Working on a CLI tool that both has a spinner and writes progress output with console.log statements. I *think* that essentially you can't easily have a spinner spinning and write output at the same time. Shame. And fiddly.
