Bending a straight line using pure CSS?! 👀 Another cool demo in progress powered by border-shape. It's coming to @developer.chrome.com next week! 🤩

And if you are in or close-ish to Amsterdam and can't afford it (I know it's expensive!), there is the completely free The Web You Want being put on by CMD Amsterdam: the-web-you-want.org And if you're going to Smashing, you should go to that too, since you're already there!

So now I make sure to get into the coding quickly 😆 Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this one, I think it's going to be really good, and the rest of the lineup is great too: smashingconf.com/amsterdam-20... And you can get a bit of a discount while tickets last: ti.to/smashingmaga...

A thing you'll have to eventually contend with as an web accessibility person is someone pushing back against your advocacy with the claim that it will negatively affect "power users". That statement implies disabled people can't be expert operators of technology, which is anything but true.

@nerdy.dev listening to the latest WW&WN and Robbie goes “anything that can be a script, write a script.” genuinely how does this statement not mean that AI doesn’t live up to the hype and that determinism is winning/should win? 1/

New on the Squarespace Engineering Blog! Squarespace & Web Standards: How We Helped Bring HTML Video & Audio Lazy-Loading to Today’s Browsers. I'm real proud of the teamwork that went into this. Stay tuned for part 2 next week, which will cover dev best practices for using this new HTML standard.

i wonder how cloudflare folks think the community is going to react to this. is this a slop fork like vinext or not? it basically only runs with the security they say is wordpress’ issue on cloudflare. so many thoughts. is cloudflare just going to be doing this all the time now?

especially true after the sickening Oracle layoffs: remember kids, AI doesn’t take jobs, leadership gives your job to AI. huge difference. place the blame on the humans, not the bots.

i will give ${number} to anyone that figures out a repeatable way to get web component/custom element typing into the @angular.dev compiler (language servers don’t count :) ) that would be a heckin good AI slop PR for all you AI bros…

There is "Real" Tailwind (v4) processing in the 2.0 editor. No more faking it. You can straight up look at the output and see what it's doing.

heck yeah! this looks awesome! i dig the approach of starting with lightweight HTML web components and working up to DSD and even maybe shadow dom if needed. not every component needs a shadow dom even if I tend to like it haha well done!

i touched some grass today. a lot, in fact. it was awful. #lawncare

repost if you think that designers and devs forming an integrated partnership ends up resulting in a better product than the typical “hand it off to the devs” approach

agreed with the original post from @davatron5000.bsky.social and i agree with this reply as well. i’ve coached SO many devs about the fact that pushing back is a part of their jobs. so many devs think their job is just to blindly implement whatever design hands them. lol. that’s what bots do.

Finally had a sec to write about the conversation component we added to the @atproto.com blog.

so many bangers from the @codepen.io team! (also web components mentioned)

a trillion percent this. it feels like the AI hype train is like “toxic startup founder deadlines” on steroids. shipping is the only thing that matters! ship crap note and maybe will fix it later, or not! make money! if you’re not first you’re last! fuck your feelings! we work around the clock! etc

My MadCSS bracket is in shambles haha

are there any companies out there actively shunning AI? genuinely curious how long the hype train is

Look mom! Another reason to stop using Vercel. vercel.com/legal/terms#... (Is this even legal?)

as the Vice President of Web Components I approve of this message. Web components and design systems are a great match! Framework-agnostic components are just the way to do it.

Absolutely nuts. I fired up Google Gemini and asked it a bunch of questions about my own field — areas I know really well, that I write and publish in. Literally the first paper that it told me about had a hallucinated author name

i wonder how much of the apology language of LLMs is based on celebrity fake apologies when they get “canceled”? lol. i wonder what it would be if the bot companies excluded tmz/insta apology posts from training data?
