Oh, and if I try to open the shortcut, it doesn’t exist. WhatsApp/iOS indexes a non-existent thing. This is really obtrusive and literally useless. I don’t want your dark pattern AI thingy, Meta.

No.

My physics teacher once said: “<X> is not enough to commit suicide, you might stay alive, you should do at least <Y>” Nobody asked. This is what some teachers think it’s appropriate to say to a roomful of children. Just like a fun fact, I guess.

@scope is a very exciting CSS feature, and to provide a fallback for it (or to progress to using it) you'd need to use @supports, but the browser support for at-rules is worse than for @scope itself so that's fun 🤪

Being polyamorous in a conservative country SUCKS. The only poly partners I had were members of my own poly meetup. The odds of meeting anyone here who is also poly (and isn’t just passing by) are very low — I’m most likely to meet someone who “doesn’t care”. …until I meet another partner 🙄

I believe that every deliberate difficulty needs to give something in return. It can be a horror movie, a disillusioning essay, an aggressive refactor… The difficulty can be a powerful medium, but what does it give back? If the difficulty itself is the point, then it may not work.

My OSS game is virtually non-existent, I wish I could pinpoint to what happened. Overworked? Spending lots of time in job environments that don’t value OSS? Me semingly being one of the very few who interact with the source code of software we’re using? Maybe there’s a way to swing back. Small PR.

Netflix search is one of the rare places with AI integration where that actually makes sense to me. Most of the places I visit are "hey! we use AI all over the fucking place ✨", and I'm like "good for you, can I do my thing now?"

FaceTime doesn't work well with AirPods because input sources tend to get shuffled, and the only way to pick the intended one is inside a menu item dropdown. This makes FaceTime, an app that has existed since forever, fundamentally flawed. Do one thing and do it poorly.

Default Vitest timeouts can really slow you down, sooo: "scripts": { "test:rapid": "cross-env RAPID=true vitest" } Test config: testTimeout: process.env.RAPID ? 0 : undefined, browser: { enabled: true, provider: playwright({ actionTimeout: process.env.RAPID ? 1_000 : undefined, }), }

Hearing about Cloudflare quickly reminds me of Brittany Pietsch's layoff video. youtu.be/u7G7OpgKROw?... Recording that and posting it was so brave, and had such a powerful impact for me that I keep thinking about it two years later. I'm not aware of any redeeming public response.

PostCSS powers 0.5% of ALL web pages but only earned $300/month for 13 years. This story is not unique. Your app likely has 550+ OSS dependencies. Most are one burned-out maintainer away from disaster. This is the Nebraska problem. And here is the fix: evilmartians.com/chronicles/s...

Why do tech bro CEOs always talk either like someone just woke them up or like they're trying to hide that they're high? I've never heard a tech bro CEO sound like they've spoken in public before.

Two very different questions: 1. Are you ok? That question wants a “yes”, so defying it with a “no” leaves a void, meaning that I HAVE to elaborate. 2. How are you? I can stop at “not well”, but I GET to elaborate if I want. All options are on the table. I’ve learned to always ask the 2nd one.

I skimmed to see what Codex is… I guess there’s no content here… Also, let’s stop fading in chunks of content, content simply existing is just fine 😘

I ate sweets before lunch and now I’m trying to reverse the order. Wish me luck and send your sympathies.

I don’t get why Anthropic hasn’t used Claude Code to rewrite their bloated Electron app as native. Should be much easier than a C compiler.

Interesting Safari detail about extending the back button to links that open in a new tab, I think this is new!

I'm barely using Chrome at all anymore. Chrome made everyone compete at its Lighthouse score, but it's not all about that one run. @polypane.app is showing me many kinds of insights DURING development, so that I can quickly improve much more without having to wait for a costly run. Feels better.

git-worktree is my new killer feature of git. Try it! Makes long term efforts so much easier to put away when needed, and get back to when you're ready.

Not proud of it, but I just used this specificity hack. Generally a huge fan of the `is()` pseudo class, but probably shouldn't use it for this 😅

Baseline Newly Available means that it’s available across major browsers, but not really to be used in production apps unless there’s a fallback, right? It seems to me that people often talk about these features as if they are ready to be used. Why?

A ride-hailing service I was using didn’t have any way to give them feedback, only to complain about the driver. Apps apparrently cannot have bugs. Eventually I brute-forced it with AI, and managed to find an email address. I’m incredibly annoyed by this “don’t @ me” customer support model.

So an AI bot attempted to make a contribution, it got rejected, and then it got… offended? That people should judge it by the code, and then it generated a blog post about gate keeping and published it… I couldn't keep up with AI even when it made sense.

Great release 💯 I just managed to reproduce a bug I've be failing to do in Chrome for a long time, simply because I've been trying to do it in full width! Panes are a really powerful way to quickly gain confidence that your thing works across multiple viewports.

The solution, apparently, was to use "contain: layout" (perhaps because of shadow DOM), but AI didn't figure it. I even suggested "contain" right away, but it just dismissed it entirely. Because AI notoriously sucks at CSS, and we're going to suck at CSS as a result. So let's not.

My dropdowns were being positioned incorrectly, so I did what any respectable seasoned 10x senior frontend dev would do — I asked Claude Code. A few min later it told me that "container-type" screws up fixed positioning, so I worked around it. Problem solved! But it didn't feel good… 1/3

If I hadn’t seen web Copilot I’d blame the authors, but I blame Microsoft for making this so easy. After describing a “task” Copilot immediately created a PR without asking me to confirm first. Don’t get cute by calling it a “task”, Microsoft, call it a PR so that I at least know what I’m getting.

Jeffrey Eppstein was a “financier”, so I looked up what that means: “A financier is a small French almond cake with a distinctive rectangular shape” You know what, that makes more sense than the intended meaning of the word.

This was pretty close to my guess. youtu.be/I1jipgiZv4M?...

Whoops, “baseline-widely-available” doesn’t work not only for some of my users, but also coworkers who have Safari lower than 16.4. I can refine the Vite build target, but it’s not enough. Should I tell people to update their browser…? Try to imagine refusing to update you macOS for 3 years 🥲

I now find it funny that GoT was this ultra popular graphic and shocking show. But to me it was so much so that it appeared like it didn’t really wanted anyone to watch it. So I stopped, at I think S4. I had to emotionally recover from it for months…

Oh jesus 🤦‍♂️ When companies expect me to share a single-user account I go buy my own license instead whenever possible. Don’t steal, I thought we learned that as kids.

Hot take. Shit Tailwind code is correlated with shit CSS code. You can improve your Tailwind game by learning CSS. Who knew.

I starter sleeping less, appears to be helping. I used to try to sleep a lot a few days in a row until I’m rested, trying to listen to my body, but that stopped working.

📝 Restraint is becoming the only scarce thing left, which means saying “no” is more valuable than ever. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2026/saying-...

*while npm install scrolls by on my terminal* incorporating code into my codebase? without reviewing it? that's irresponsible

Nobody told me that Claude Code was FAST. It beats my IDE agent's speed by a lot, and it's more affordable. Currently, I'm using Claude Code through Zed's ACP, so I don't even have to go CLI (yet), I can use an already very familiar interface.

Well this is cool, thanks Rolldown!

I can't submit this form in Safari. This is I guess what web is becoming. WebKit supports submitting forms (at least I hope so). But whenever someone steers away from the platform they either no longer seem to bother to test in WebKit, or new WebKit releases are breaking. This sucks quite a lot.

Just returned from a cafe where the amount of smoke was just poisonous — my SKIN stinks of smoke. Croatia has to do something, eventually many non smokers AND smokers who hate intense saturation of smoke where they feel their lifespan dropping will stop coming. Is there something I can do?

Aaaaand having my first impostor syndrome right about now. Welcome, friend, I’ve heard many things about you…

"! Copilot CLI not installed", what…? cat ~/.zshrc Oh… nice try, Microsoft.

oxlint --type-aware --type-check

Just migrated from Biome & Prettier to oxlint & oxfmt 🚀 I love the true type-aware linting and Tailwind formatting! I'm also able to use React Compiler rules through the JS plugin support 😌 Many thanks to @boshen.github.io, @dunqing.bsky.social and other maintainers for all your hard work ❤️

I don't like lint rules being set to "warn". That doesn't block anything, why is this so popular? Don't people like not being able to commit code because of a lint error? But seriously, emitting warnings to me is this weird limbo where a rule is "kind of a problem, but is it really".

Summarize these hands 🖕🏻🖕🏻

Who the fuck chose the colours for the 📉 and 📈 emojis.

- oxfmt supports Tailwind formatting - oxlint supports real type-aware linting, and can perform both lint and typecheck in one go The cherry on top would be if React managed to port React Compiler to Rust, that means that oxlint could start supporting those lint rules.
