I'm Jared, and this is Change Log News for the week of Monday, November 3rd, 2025.
We're making a quick trip to San Francisco next week to partake in SinkConf.
a boutique conference on the future of real-time, collaborative, and agentic software dev,
organized by Johannes Shiklin from Prisma, Adam Wiggins from Heroku,
Emma Tracy from Colt repo, and more.
If you're going, let's sync up.
See what I did there.
If not, stay tuned for the best combos from the hallway track.
Okay, let's get in to this week's news.
The overlooked power of URLs.
Akmod Alfie found an old comment in his code that contained a powerful link.
Quote, I clicked the URL and it was the PrismJS download page with every checkbox,
drop-down, and option pre-selected to match my exact configuration.
Themes chosen, languages selected, plugins enabled, everything perfectly reconstructed.
from that single URL.
Here was a URL doing far more than just pointing to a page.
It was storing state, encoding intent, and making my entire setup shareable and recoverable.
No database, no cookies, no local storage, just a URL.
End quote.
