John is the father of ZIO, and since @EffectTS_ started off as a direct port of ZIO, I guess that makes him the … grandfather of Effect? 😅 Whatever the case, a HUGE shout out to John for all his amazing work and contributions to OSS! @EffectTS_ wouldn’t exist without him!

So happy to see the Rise of @EffectTS_ . 💪 It's awesome for TypeScript developers and rewarding for all the folks who have worked so hard to bring the ecosystem to where it is today. ♥️ Somewhere in the corners of the multiverse, ZIO had a similar story absent Scala 3. 😉

🚀 Coming soon in the next minor release of @EffectTS_ - injecting AI models into your apps is now the same as providing any other service! `Effect.provide` the model you want to use and you're done! ...did we just cook? 🧑‍🍳🔥

🚨Stop gambling with JSON.stringify! Data serialization should be safe, reversible, and predictable ✅ With @EffectTS_ Schema, you define a schema for your data structure and get round-trip consistency out of the box 🚀 Code: effect.website/play#1c47c380c…

Recently had a friend tell me that @EffectTS_ schema's serialization functionality was pointless since we can just use JSON.stringify 🤔 But is JSON.stringify truly safe to use for serialization? Let's take a quick look - what do you think happens here? 👇

For ANYONE who is currently using @EffectTS_, or thinking about using it, do yourself a favor and add this MCP server to your IDE - the results are absolutely bonkers.

Hard to believe how much @EffectTS_ has grown over the past few years! It’s been an incredible experience building Effect and being part of a team that cares so deeply about getting it right. Huge thanks to the community — seeing others build with Effect is the best part! ❤️

Last year, @EffectTS_ days was the catalyst for me to join @EffectfulTech. This year, it's given the team and I more motivation than ever to keep pushing what's possible in TS 🦾🖥️ Thank you to all the conference organizers and speakers for making this amazing event possible!
