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 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

my first web conference of 2026. thank you to Aris Markogiannakis for letting me MC your fantastic conference 🫶🏻 it was so nice to catch up with folks i haven't seen in years 🤓

watching @wesbos.com speed-run CSS on @syntax.fm is the kind of compelling content i wanna watch on my off day www.youtube.com/watch?v=S98u...

oooooo i didn't know about this one 🤓

"Software development is thinking made tangible. The artifacts we create—whether COBOL programs, Delphi forms, or Python scripts—are the visible outcome of invisible reasoning about complexity." [email protected] www.caimito.net/en/blog/2025...

"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 Do not give up your brain 🔗 cassidoo.co/post/good-br...

love a good non-English CSS typography post 🫶🏻

Fun isn’t a distraction from learning, it’s how we learn best. The web is still a playful playground: open a text editor, try something weird, learn something new. Let's all keep the web fun, weird, and wonderful! ➡️ patrickbrosset.com/articles/202...

“agents make code cheaper. they do not make judgment cheap.” –@threepointone.bsky.social sunilpai.dev/posts/seven-...

“The skill isn’t being right. It’s entering discussions to align on the problem, creating space for others, and remaining skeptical of your own certainty.” –@addyosmani.bsky.social These are all good lessons for us who work in tech. addyosmani.com/blog/21-less...

“This is not because producers are careless, but because once production is cheap enough, junk is what maximises volume, margin, and reach. The result is not abundance of the best things, but overproduction of the most consumable ones.”

Today the CSS Working Group resolved to rename the property that lets you adjust the tolerance of how content lays out in CSS Grid Lanes to `flow-tolerance`! Just updated the article about it with the new name. webkit.org/blog/17660/i...

what a beautiful project ❤️

I love that a video codec won an emmy ❤️ aomedia.org/press%20rele...

this was such a lovely piece. and i truly believe that the best test of how well you understand something is being able to explain it to anybody at their level

found out about html day from this awesomely cool project by Daniel Lazaro: github.com/dnlzro/horiz... plus it's built on Astro 🫶🏻

not sure if non-Chinese speaking folks are able to generate translated captions for this but if you know me, you know that Chinese typography is one of my favourite things. this is a fascinating look into the MingKwai typewriter. youtu.be/yNoWMaOyWHY

“When you use a JavaScript framework, that isn’t the end of your work, it’s just the beginning. You still have to write your own code that makes use of that framework. Except now your code is restricted to only what the framework can do.” I’d even drop “JavaScript” from that sentence 😉

“It just shows that all this framework "magic" that's supposed to help us can also create some really weird problems.”

I was building the exact conversational UI that is described here last Friday and also came across field-sizing but was a bit bummed about support.

a very long overdue "housekeeping" chore for my self-hosted analytics solution. 1,000,000 rows on t3.micro makes for fun migrations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ chenhuijing.com/blog/databas...

i love the spreadsheet analogy here

“If you’re going to really exploit the capabilities of these new tools, you need to be operating at the top of your game”

Some musings about building sample applications. You know, for sharing knowledge and all that... chenhuijing.com/blog/lets-ta...

I've had the same blog for more than a decade. This is the second time I'm migrating to another tech stack. I'm surprised how easy it was to deploy with Netlify simply by switching repos. I guess I'll find out if I broke anything in the coming days...haha chenhuijing.com/blog/migrati...

“No, the rest of the world is already anticipating futures built on sacred memory and a sacred present. It is reciting the Qur’an five times a day, chanting mantras before meals, offering incense to ancestors, and balancing ritual and reason”– @didou.bsky.social publicseminar.org/2025/09/pete...

i would guess that most developers don't think of CSS more than a tool to change colours and spacing but like @amitsheen.bsky.social shows, browsers have shipped CSS functionality that allows a great deal of creativity, especially for animations in the browser. math is cool, kids 😎 #css #webdev

“Our job is not just to write code, but to use our critical thinking and analysis skills to make decisions outside of the scope of writing characters in a text editor.” piccalil.li/blog/while-y...

“It’s time to choose frameworks based on constraints and merit rather than momentum.” www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-w...

spent quite some time chuckling at the responses to this thread: www.reddit.com/r/Programmer...

“When I have had engineers who were 10x as valuable as others it was primarily due to their ability to prevent unnecessary work.” colton.dev/blog/curing-...

as someone who's first OS was MS-DOS, this gave me a warm nostalgic feeling inside aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

“This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.” metr.org/blog/2025-07...

I wrote something about #AI on @frontendmasters.com... something with a long title! #ChatGPT and the proliferation of obsolete and broken solutions to problems we hadn’t had for over half a decade before its launch frontendmasters.com/blog/chatgpt...

Came across this in Children of Dune: "Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. ..." (1/2)

🥳 We added new attributes to HTML to enhance <input type=color>: webkit.org/blog/16900/p...

I find myself nodding in agreement with Josh and the points he so eloquently puts forward

“But fundamentally, all Transformer-based AI models are pattern-matching machines. [...] These models excel at standard problems where step-by-step procedures align with patterns in their training data but collapse when facing novel proof challenges requiring much deeper mathematical insight.”

haven't done a chain thing in forever. chenhuijing.com/blog/tag-you... tagging @csswizardry.com and @zellwk.bsky.social if you feel like joining the chain too

"Our default tech business model has become extractive, like part of a strip-mining operation. Consumers—and now creative works (used for training AI)—are treated as a natural resource to be milked and exploited." - @benjedwards.com www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/ar...

i would love for this to be a thing sooner than later

now that i think about it, the people who i know who have their own websites are all folks who work on the web, and not the average person on the interwebs 😐 thehistoryoftheweb.com/our-online-h...

does anyone either write CSS in CSS files or does Drupal today? 🤔 chenhuijing.com/blog/the-cas...

this is one of the best things i've seen on the interwebs in a while 😍 blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-bu...

this is gorgeous

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)
