Chrome team has amazing people working on it, but leadership has completely lost the plot. As users we need to vote by choosing other products, sadly.

I had to leave my iPhone mini behind and buy a “normal sized” phone. I hate it so much. The mini had the perfect size.

"A developer who builds accessible interfaces is more skilled. Say this out loud. Repeat it often. A developer who creates accessible interfaces isn't doing extra work; they're doing the work the right way." newsletters.feedbinusercontent.com/3c2/3c2d0562... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Microsoft has a lot of talent. People I highly admire, some of those I call them friends even. I hope they get the leadership they deserve to ship great software again.

Is it me or software is just getting worse? Talking as a user, not a developer. Last days I had terrible bugs in apps, operative systems, registration portals on web. Like, I think I have three or four email combos ongoing with support teams from different companies at the moment.

Software goes beep boop beep.

I am dealing with certain project, in certain mega popular framework and it makes me wanna quit programming and build a farm far away from civilization.

Huge win. We definitely need more good news like this one 🥲

Being uneducated and stupid became acceptable for people in power. We need to bring shame back from doing and saying something stupid. It’s outrageous.

It's incredible how tons of people still don't understand how powerful it is to admit you made a mistake, to really own it. Usually they also underestimate how weak someone is perceived when a simple mistake puts them in complete defensive mode to protect who knows what.

Great heading, goes right to second place for best heading of the year only surpassed by “Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards” by @lopatto.bsky.social which to be fair feels unbeatable.

I always forget to give updates like this one, but since February I've joined the amazing people at @supabase.com to work on their documentation and developer experience projects. We already improved quite a few things and released new tools. I can't wait to see what me and the team will do next ⚡️

I wanted to move the content of a newsletter about music I've been doing for a year. Downloaded all content as markdown, fired up a new Eleventy project, inline CSS styles without any tool. Color scheme support. No scripts. All done in an afternoon. It feels good.

Loved playing this, and the report card in the end is genius.

It should be *illegal* to do this.

p75 and p90 JavaScript bytes on the web have exploded since May, 2025—easily the largest 10 month period based on HTTP Archive data since 2023. The long-tail is getting worse, very quickly. Gemini, what happened in May 2025?

Google is on a train wreck. This is the quality standard they ship to their most lucrative product today.

Address me 🐘

What’s the point of investing tons of engineering hours, to put encryption opt-in behind four taps, say nobody used it, and then spend more engineering hours removing it. These dudes have too much money and too much free time.

AI for coding becomes an immediate double-edge sword when you need to iterate over, and especially rollback, previously added code. It’s a glorified diff polluter.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in our community! 💙💐 Thank you for inspiring us every day with your talent, creativity, and passion. Keep shining! ✨️ #JSHeroes #InternationalWomensDay #WomeninTech #TechEvent

Huge congrats on the team and specially to @danielroe.dev, not only for having the courage to start something new, but for being humble enough to open it to the community. We win all together.

Look at those faces! Every single year I am amazed at the great people that ends up on our speakers line-up. Shoutout to the more than 200 people who sent proposals 🙏

I agree. Let's start by axing the humans that consume most of the energy, resources, and money in the world: billionaires.

That is actually quite rad.

a gentle criticism that modals like this are not the user experience of a social network that is friendly to hyperlinks

Every time I am redesigning my personal site I hit the same roadblock, my stupid long ass name. My parents really hated me, there's no other explanation.

Really nice piece on iconography and user interfaces. App designers should take a note on this, the "everything needs an icon" is unbearable both for usability and development honestly.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Ugh, interoplate-size is not baseline yet. Safari, Firefox, do your thing please.

@layer is such an underrated CSS feature, it solves most of your architecture specificity and distribution problems honestly. It's not mentioned enough.

European Union companies' annual purchases of cloud software services that benefit the US economy amount to €264 billion … If the EU were able to produce 15% of services it currently purchases from the US in 2035, this would result in 463,000 additional jobs in the EU. www.cigref.fr/technologica...

This is literally a middle finger to musicians, which were already terribly underpaid by Spotify. Today it costs nothing to move to *any* other service in protest.

One of the things that makes me feel proud about helping out @jsheroes.io is this. Full transparency of what we do with the money.

If you don't have a @theverge.com subscription, go read this piece now. Mandatory to understand how twisted and intertwined politics and Silicon Valley technocrats are today.

📢 Call for Sponsors 📢 We have created 3 packages for companies that want to help us bring Romania's largest developer community event to life. ✨ Learn more about the packages and benefits here: jsheroes.io/sponsor #JSHeroes #TechEvent #TechInnovation #TechConference #JSCommunity

This is the kind of journalism that's worth paying a subscription for. I highly recommend reading this one.

The first batch of early bird tickets is out for sale. If you were thinking about attending to an event this year, this is your chance to do it a really low price.

"[...] I’m not talking about healthy debate- we need conflict to sharpen ideas. I’m referring to the intangible politicking that prioritizes ego over outcomes." Greatly put as usual when @sarahedo.bsky.social writes. Precious words that sadly resonate a lot with some of my past experience.

Lol, but also, not lol.

⏳ The Call for Papers is closing soon! If you haven’t submitted your proposal yet, you still have 3 days left to take your chance at joining us as a speaker at #JSHeroes 2026. 🌟 👉 jsheroes.io/speak #TechEvent #TechConference #WebDev #TechInnovation

Last week of the year, which means, last days to send your proposal for a talk at @jsheroes.io 🚀 don't sleep on it, I heard we are a cool event.

Hope you all had a nice Saturnalia time, or whatever you celebrate, even if it's just eating a lot with some nice folks.

I wanted to write about this for a long time, but @adactio.com did it first and definitely better. Web frameworks should be invisible to the user, they serve us developers. Users don't care, and shouldn't pay the price neither.

New favorite personal site. The work @cydstumpel.nl has been doing on her own site with the new web features is fantastic.

We are receiving proposals for the next edition of JSHeroes, and we also have a post on our blog to make sure you make the most out of it and increase the chances for your talk to get selected. Good luck!

Here in the airport, not knowing if I will board a flight I already paid for because the airline overbooked it. There’s no better definition of capitalism than this.

We are starting to shape the next edition of JSHeroes, if you feel you have a nice idea of a talk, submit it on our page. Our process is really transparent and anonymized.
