JavaScript

Developer Dietrich Gebert released Ponytail, an open-source JavaScript project that pushes AI coding agents to behave like 'the laziest senior dev in the room', favouring deleting or avoiding code over writing more of it. Its tagline — the best code is the code you never wrote — is drawing attention among developers experimenting with agent behaviour prompts.

A developer maintains a small open-source calculator that estimates the cost of closing an unexplained gender pay gap. The tool is built in JavaScript and is designed to make zero network calls, so salary data entered by employers or analysts never leaves the user's browser. The privacy-first approach is drawing attention in open-source and HR communities.
