this is kinda unhinged but in the BEST way possible. also, checkout @jack.cab's main home page, it is a work of art.

i do agree with Adam here, i've found myself saying multiple times to some of my colleagues, who to be fair, are not career web developers themselves, that i write my HTML and CSS by hand because the AI simply cannot create what i have in my head in the concise code that i want the output to be.

on occasion, i've been asked to help mc some local conferences. it's still great fun for me. hoping we'll get to cross paths again at some point :))))

i'm doing well 😀. i'm really glad i got to meet you in person all those years ago (4...it was 4 years ago)
love that you're still creating these masterpieces 🫶🏻

Bridge Kit with Forwarding Service A code demo by Chen Hui Jing created on CodePen

tried @codepen.io's new 2.0 interface, works pretty well with Typescript, and that bare module specifier which pulls your project's npm packages for you is pretty neat 🤓

"Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world. For years, the work of African data labelers has been more or less “ghost work,” the unseen, hidden labor that lets American tech companies build their products."

Who called git, and how Claude was caught red-handed Two users confronted by a dialog to install command line developer tools so they can use git. Neither wanted to use git, but wondered which app could have triggered it. Despite its protestations, C…

Who called git, and how Claude was caught red-handed by @eclecticlight.co.web.brid.gy, quite an interesting read.

this is the most amazing CSS thing i've seen on the interwebs for a while. i know very little about x86 and can barely write a C program that does more than Hello World or add two single digits together. but this is absolutely blowing my mind 🤯

Tune in to the latest episode of @igalia.com's podcast, where @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com chat with @ptomato.name, @nicr.dev and @jason-williams.co.uk about Temporal reaching stage 4 (you really can't beat the episode title: The Clock Thickens)

www.igalia.com/chats/tempor...

this is very clever imho.

I did not know Bloomberg has a JS blog, nor did I know about its JavaScript Infrastructure and Terminal Experience team. What I did know is that I had heard about Temporal for years. I understood that it was massive and it was hard to implement but it would make dates and time in JS make sense.

Back in 2015, I had a template called blank-html which was the most basic setup for me to build and experiment with HTML, CSS and JS. I had used Gulp 3 as the task runner. Over the years, minor upgrades were made, Gulp 4, remove node-sass etc.
I think it's time for a major rehaul to use Vite 8 🤓

How I added Bluesky likes to my Astro blog Learn how I added Bluesky likes and avatars to my Astro blog using the bluesky-likes web components package. No API keys, no server-side code, just a few lines of Astro magic.

New blog post! I added Bluesky likes and liker avatars to my #Astro blog. No API keys, no server-side code, just pure delightful #webcomponents.

Here's how I went from "I want that" to "it's live" in about an hour:

“…LLMs will make formal methods go mainstream, but being easily able to write specifications doesn't help with correctness if the specs don't actually verify anything.”

but like @hillelwayne.com says, maybe this will all be laughably obsolete come June
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“But simply watching work happen, without any of the creative, autonomous activity that would occur if they were doing the work themselves, gives rise to a degree of boredom and stupefaction that can be physically painful and spiritually debilitating.”

”We are witnessing a civilizational "race to the middle," where the complexity of human thought is sacrificed on the altar of algorithmic smoothness.”

i love a solid debugging the browser write-up

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

Do not give up your brain It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

"It’s really tempting to say that you’re just “using the resources you have” when you use a simple query here and there, but your brain is the best resource you’ll have for the rest of your life, and you should keep it sharp." @cassidoo.co
