Weird vibes take I'm feeling on the socials right now, might delete later: Building is about control. When you build, you want control, the way that you like to control things. When I build, I want control, the way I like to control things. What control is right or wrong for whatever your […]

Fully unformed thought: For anyone against genAI, is it better to "out content the machines" or to be clear that the "content game" was never one worth winning and move on all together? 🤔 In alternative parlance, is hating the player enough, if what you really hate is the game? And, if you […]

#signals friends. #reactivity friends. #webdev friends. Thoughts on https://github.com/proposal-signals/signal-utils/issues/100 and being able to both depend on and change a value in a `reaction()`?

For we get an extra #BandcampFriday in exchange for #cloudflare and #cloudflaredown making trouble with todays? Was able to pick up https://apotheke.bandcamp.com/album/orion before the troubles really started to take their effect. It's got the feels! Praying in the Dark (see what I did there) […]

Awesome new #adoptedstylesheets features in @Chrome #canary. 😲 #webcomponents #shadowdom #css

Flipping that `layout.css.module-scripts` flag to `true` in @mozilla #firefox is quite fun!! How much longer till we can have it on by default? #cssmodulescripts are 🔥 love seeing the simplicity it brings to developing and delivering applications build with #webComponents. Can't wait till […]

Is it just me, or is it concerning (questionable?) (de rigueur? in these uncertain times) when a site/company/contractors purporting to care about performance and quality and all that jazz drops their 8.5MB home page on the world?? 🤭 #doctorhealtheyself #webdev #performance

Did you know that @chromium recently did some work to ensure that `document.importNode` and `Node.cloneNode` delivered a similar performance profile? They did! That means that #frameworks built to be compatible with the web can leverage `document.importNode()` for templated content with custom […]

"228 errors"... OK, see if I write an eslint plug-in ever again. #webdev

Lion engineers have been squeezing time to make the website fancier with Astro. Early look: https://lion.js.org/next -- They also had a successful workshop open to all frontenders at ING this week. Theme was to "Make Lion Great Again". 😂 #webdev #webcomponents #javascript #lion @astro

Gecko: Intent to ship: CSS Module Scripts

"Hallway track"...don't you mean "eavesdrop track"? When you realize something that you want shipped might be made easier when you overhear someone with a solution that might not otherwise be perceived as related. 😜

TIL that when you run `el.attachShadow({mode: "open" })` on an element with DSD it _clears_ the children while leaving the initial shadow root. https://codepen.io/Westbrook/pen/xbVwwPN?editors=1111 #webcomponents #shadowdom #dsd #tpac

Talking native <menu> elements in the browser at @w3c #tpac right now... 🥰 #a11y #performance #webdev of the future! What's not to love?

You just can’t clean up shit with shit… it’s the rules.

Hello #webdev friends! I'm hosting an #ama today at Human Web Collective! I’ll start answering questions at 12pm Pacific Time, so ask away. Topics for discussion: * “Vanilla” frontend techniques * #webcomponents * #css architecture/design systems/etc. * Coding practices free from slop * #html […]

workin on a web component: `<color-input>`

Almost @w3cdevs #tpac time! Finally get to see some people in person I’ve been working with for a number of year now in Kobe next week. Will I be seeing you? 👋🏽

The most important lesson for Democrats from Mamdani's victory is this: abandon the decades-old practice of triangulating to win the center. Instead, grow the base with a positive, joyful vision for what government can do when it gives up on being shackled to a Republican base.

What'd I miss? components know: - user stuff - device stuff - app stuff - design stuff - what stuff is in them - what stuff they're inside - etc It's amazing how much a component can know on the web, and I'm going to try and list it all out. Help me 🤓 #css https://nerdy.dev/components-can-know

If someone had said “if Trump gets elected, he’ll literally bulldoze the White House” just a year ago, everyone - right, left, and center - would have told them to shut up and stop exaggerating.

Calling all #ICCV2025 attendees! We're hosting a Reve social where you can meet our team and unwind on Tuesday evening. RSVP here, limited spots remaining: luma.com/9dy5x3j4

With the number of developers that don't really know what it means to _finish_ a project (read performance, accessibility, documentation, etc.), it's no wonder so many in management think AI can replace them. #webdev #sorrynotsorry #thisisnthowitshouldbe

"I can't help but believe that in the future we'll see in the United States and throughout the Western World an increasing trend toward the next logical step: employee ownership. It's a path that benefits a free people." — Ronald Reagan, 1987 […]

`closedby=any` cool feature, not enough written about it yet https://nerdy.dev/closedby-any

Well, OK, thanks for letting me know e-trade...

Oh, the painful balance of "doing something because it's on the top of mind at the leadership level" and "doing something that's actual worth doing" as you think about "career growth". 🤬

Anthropic stole the books I co-wrote in order to train their planet-burning hallucination machine, so I've filed a claim. They wept that if every plagiarised author does so, the company will go bankrupt. Boo emdash hoo. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

@webkit my kingdom for a `scrollend` event? https://caniuse.com/wf-scrollend #webdev #testthewebforward

It’s hard to imagine how this is even possible on the web, but it is, and we should celebrate that. https://messenger.abeto.co/

I often fall into the thinking the "fullstack" was a condemnation of "frontend", but what if it was just an admonition that there are very few "backend" devs that actually want to do their own jobs... 🤔 #webdev

Writing tests this Tuesday morning. 😁 Forgot how nice it is to _be sure_ the code your team writes works! #webdev #testthewebforward #tuesdaysweweartests

Wanna get some #webcomponents topics on the docket for @w3c #tpac? Join the planning discussion in https://discord.gg/kbba8cKPg9 and help is get the hottest button topics unlocked at vendors, contributors and the community gather next month in Kobe! #shadowdom #elementinternals #referencetarget […]

So, #webkit is it some sort of esoteric security issue that prevents me from streaming multiple device cameras in iOS Safari? 🥺 Really wanting to work through a prototype for my team with that feature. Looks like I’ll have to switch to supporting Android users…only. #browserban @owa

The canceling of ICEBlock is more evidence, were any needed, that the Web is the platform of the future, the only platform without a controlling vendor. Anything controversial should be available through a pure browser interface. #uspolitics

The things we can do differently here look like they'll apply nicely to product development at a company level, just as nicely as they will specification development at the browser level. #a11y is hard, but it only gets harder the longer you neglect it […]

@westbrook Uh sorry 😂 here is the first and more serious bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298646

RE: https://mastodon.social/@davatron5000/115296356414184448 This is some hot CSS and HTML coming to life here!

``` @supports (not (font: -apple-system-body)) or (clip-path: shape(from right center, close)) {} ``` Thanks, WebKit! Thanks, a lot. 😳

> I feel triggered by other people feeling triggered...a clear sign of my moral, intellectual, and organizational superiority, if I've ever seen one. *Narrator: likely they never have seen one. Likely there isn't a sign of such a thing in all the world.*

This is indeed the worst history both not for the reasons people think and for those reasons to mixed percentage. Woah!

@reveai.bsky.social making waves today. https://app.reve.com What will you reimagine?

Reimagine reality. reve.com

Is this lack of preparation an emergency? 🦋

I love being reminded how much more work it is to AVOID doing things right on the web than to just let things work the way they are supposed to... 🤣 #webdev #a11y #webperf

If you're not skilled at saying what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how you're doing it, or outlining what you want, why you want it, and how you want it in a clear and concise way it won't matter if you're on an onsite team, a remote team, a hybrid team, an off shore team there's […]
