Lately I've been feeling dead inside with absolutely anything AI-related. Even with the beef between the US government and Anthropic, which I'm sure is objectively funny. I don't like the future we're headed to at all...

If you're a student or early in your software/CS career, I encourage you to apply to the Igalia Coding Experience program. The deadline to apply is April 3. People from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply! www.igalia.com/coding-exper...

My company @igalia.com is hiring an Open Source Product Marketing Manager. www.igalia.com/jobs/product... Igalia is a worker-owned cooperative based in A Coruña, Spain. All positions are 100% remote. Igalia can potentially sponsor visas to emigrate to Spain.

I've had bad ADHD days for this week so far, so I thought I might try to hack my brain into fucking working by playing Technology Connections-like youtube videos in the background, just muffled. Maybe playing louder music on top. Except I'm now making a muffler browser extension instead of working.

Congratulations to @bkardell.com on joining the W3C TAG! www.igalia.com/2026/02/10/I...

The EC is putting together an initiative to develop their strategy for open digital ecosystems. Given its potential to push forward the development and funding of open-source software in Europe and beyond, Igalia submitted a response with some suggestions. Read more: www.igalia.com/2026/02/03/I...

Wrote a blog post about the work I've been doing at @igalia.com to implement the Temporal proposal in JavaScriptCore: blogs.igalia.com/compilers/20...

On my way to @fosdem.org where tomorrow I’ll be talking about @servo.org in the "Browser and web platform" devroom. See you there! fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Today in the CSS face-to-face meeting we're discussing line-clamp, which is something I've been working on fixing for years. The meeting is in Apple's offices in Cupertino, California, so I'm not attending in person because fuck traveling to the US. This is gonna be my camera feed though:

📣 Servo at FOSDEM 2026 This weekend at FOSDEM 2026, @rego.bsky.social Chair of the Servo TSC, will present: “The Servo project and its impact on the web platform ecosystem.” 📅 Saturday, Jan 31 🕑️ 14:00–14:30 CET 📍 Browser and Web Platform Devroom 🎥 Live stream fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Let me just say fuck ICE, and border patrol in general.

Maybe Europe should express solidarity with the protestors in the US, like we do for protests in other violent oppressive regimes.

Really wishing that somebody would hire my company (@igalia.com) to standardize/implement support for import maps in web workers. I already have a draft spec PR ready and there is interest from the community, which company wants to be the hero funding pushing it forward? :)

3 years in a row I posted about Temporal on Jan 1st. Now the year has come* I of course forgot. * Not stage 4 yet, but all signs point to this year and Temporal has shipped in Firefox and coming in Chrome 144.

Do I write the blog post I want to write, or do I get way too sidetracked trying to add footnotes/sidenotes to my blog?

I'm not much of a Christmas person, which is why when I thought "maybe I should get a good docking station for my new laptop", I wasn't expecting every good option to be sold out...

WinterTC's Minimum Common Web API standard is now officially published as ECMA-429, Edition 1 . To many more editions! Thanks @jasnell.me, @andreubotella.com, @akiro.se, @littledan.dev and everyone else that was involved in making this happen. 🎉

Hot off the blog press: Standards Queues Definitely the hardest part right now, imho. bkardell.com/blog/Queues....

Tech really wouldn't exist without queers

Igalia has been working on MathML interoperability across browser engines & my colleague wrote about what they've been working on so far: conflor.es/blog/2025-11...

That's gonna be me on Saturday when I'm finally home after almost a whole month traveling

This Sunday, I'm giving a talk at JSConf! That's pretty exciting jsconf.jp/2025/en/talk...

Hey, in about two hours (JST 11:15) I'll be leading a breakout session about WinterTC at W3C's TPAC: www.w3.org/events/meeti... Hope to see you there!

Registration form for the Web Engines Hackfest 2026 is now open: forms.gle/7gSwfFebFW7s... A couple of reminders, it'll happen in June 15 to 17 in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain) and you only need to register if you're planning to attend onsite. More info about the event at webengineshackfest.org

Today I saw the phrase "Too small to fail" in the context of improving one's life, and I really like it.

Please please please if anybody wants to hire Igalia to work on this I'd be very happy to champion it internally, we even have folks that recently worked with JSC's module system

Today I was reminded of that time when I implemented `structuredClone()` in Chromium, and how, although @surma.dev had proposed it while working on Chrome devrel and had worked on the spec, the Chromium issue only had the OP until I set out to implement it, even after other browsers had shipped it.

Remind me to never again try to book flights through the KLM website without first making sure that both of the connecting flights are KLM. Apparently I can't book additional luggage to the trip, or even check in online, just because the first flight is Transavia...

I was thinking, maybe if you own a #Framework laptop, and you disagree with the whole Nazi bar "big tent", maybe it'd be good to put an antifa sticker on top of the logo. After all, the opposite of fascism isn't neutrality, and neither it is centrism.

Igalia is excited to announce a new commission from the Sovereign Tech Fund to advance the Servo web engine. www.igalia.com/2025/10/09/I...

Save the date! The Web Engines Hackfest 2026 will be held from June 15 to 17 in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain) www.igalia.com/2025/10/01/A...

web standards keep evolving so we need ever more tests; I talked to @littledan.dev, @technosophos.bsky.social, @andreubotella.com & @joyeecheung.bsky.social about processes: standards written in code > written in words. I also touch on the question of funding and who contributes to WPT and how

Why aren't we trying to cut off the US from anything in the rest of the world? Break their international supply chains, stop relying on American products, start building local alternatives.

🎙️ New Episode of Igalia Chats How we listen to and involve developers: Wishes, Signals, and the Shape of Standards @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com chat with @w3c.bsky.social's Dominique Hazaël-Massieux www.igalia.com/chats/domini...

That moment when you were editing git history, and you fuck it up. I guess it's time for git reflog, commit nechromancy, and praying to Githulhu.

I was checking my bio in Mastodon (mastodon.andreubotella.com/@andreu), which is longer than fits here in Bsky. And noticed that I had "Linux guy" as a bullet point... which doesn't feel so right anymore. The "guy" part in particular. #gender #non-binary

Do I want to start *another* thread about Webkit's implementation of `-webkit-line-clamp` being bonkers *in the same day*? Because the more I look the worse it gets...

Did you know that Safari supports a percent value for `-webkit-line-clamp`? I thought I'd look into it; maybe it could be precedent for a `line-clamp`-related discussion in the CSS Working Group Turns out, not only didn't it do what I thought, but its implementation has an off-by-one error 😭 #css

The sentence "you can take two cross-origin windows *and make them same-origin*" has to be the most alarming sounding thing that then turns out to not be such a huge deal. (cont.)

Apparently the UK has designated the activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, meaning supporting them can get you up to 14 years in prison??? What the fuck are we even doing? We need to fight fascism in all of its forms, wherever it shows up. apnews.com/article/uk-p...

Andreu Botella & Luca Casonato talk about the new WinterTC and their plans related to standards for server-side runtimes @andreubotella.com @lcas.dev www.youtube.com/watch?v=elGN...

The Web Engines Hackfest 2025.Thanks to all the people that participated, the speakers and everyone that hosted a breakout session. Hope you have enjoyed the event and looking forward to seeing you all here next year.

We're going to have a breakout session to figure out the web integration of the TC39 AsyncContext proposal in ~5 minutes. You can join remote!

If you're not at @webengineshackfest.org what are you even doing. Come, it's awesome. Advanced discussions for authors/implementers/spec'perts.

Luca is covering the features needed for fetch that are only needed by servers.

Luca Casonato and Andreu Botella are next in the @webengineshackfest.org stage, presenting WinterTC, a standard for server-side runtimes
