We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

I'm exhausted by the AI hustle. I've been trying to embrace it to see where it improves things in my workflow and it... doesn't in the long term. You end up spending days scolding it like a child and jumping between models to get the results you want, which inevitably fail.

Just got sucked into @neal.fun's "Not a Robot" neal.fun/not-a-robot/

New metal album just dropped

Went for a nap next to my phone and had no idea about the alert. Woke up in a complete panic and ran in to scoop up a sleeping toddler. 😬

I've been trying the GitHub Copilot agent out of curiosity. The first attempt at implementing a feature was 99% right, but I'm now two days into asking it to fix that 1% and things have regressed to the point where the entire project is a write off. 😂

Silksong is almost criminally undepriced! That was completely unexpected for such an anticipated game.

Whiskey drinkers, I'm looking for a recommendation to buy a whiskey loving friend as a thank you gift.

Playing Death Stranding for the first time and surprised how well it runs and looks on a Steam Deck. 🥰

New office. 🥰

We’ve been waiting for this stuff for a while in the studio so it’s good to see it moving at pace now.

Setting up redirects from 404 responses because LLMs hallunicated source URLs feels like something we really shouldn't have to be doing. 😑

Does anyone have a good course recommendation to give to somone for learning JS fundamentals, with the focus on vanilla and not frameworks.

Hope everyone had a great #BrightonSEO! Sorry I couldn't be there, I was busy getting married. 🥳

Let’s talk about placeholder, format indication and accessibility. Short and simple version: don't placeholders to communicate input format indication.

My car engine has died after only 60k miles at the same time as the clutch has failed, and the manufacturer won't replace either as a gesture of goodwill. I cannot afford a new car and I'm getting married in less than two weeks. 😭

📝 New Blog Post: Poisoning Well I have started publishing nonsense content on my blog, to mess with LLM crawlers. Here is the article, all about it: heydonworks.com/article/pois... And here is the nonsense companion article, all about *whatever*: heydonworks.com/nonsense/poi...

Does Android expose the currently selected Material You system colours to Chrome or PWAs at all?

My Pixel 4XL finally gave up the ghost, so I've replaced it with a 9 Pro. The buttery smooth scrolling has now got me looking up 120hz desktop monitors. 🫣

Researched Google's New AI Mode So You Don't Have To 🚀 Evaluated hundreds of AI Mode outputs across user intents & here's what you NEED to know: 🔍 It's genuinely AI-powered - the same query "cheap flights" produced seemingly endless variations of output text ranging from 370 to 449 words!

Ever wanted to get the number of auto-fit columns in CSS? ``` --u: 5em; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(var(--u), 1fr)) ``` It's now possible! Using registered #CSS vars, the tan division hack and container query units! Here's a little test on @codepen.io: codepen.io/thebabydino/...

Do I know anyone who is an engineer on Google Analytics?

My daughter has started to leave demands for the Tooth Fairy and leave letters under her pillow. 😂

I appear to be on some politics starter lists for some unknown reason. The curse of having a common name.

For so long, I've been unhappy with how the Set Studio site positioned us. It looked great, but the messaging was all wrong. I think we've nailed it with this redesign and positioned ourselves as an alternative to the traditional, over-priced and inefficient traditional agency. set.studio

After months of trying to find the cause of the rise in unassigned sessions in GA4 I think I've reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. I've written a fix and if it works there's a lot for me to write up and share about this!

Made hellish code today that incrementally increases the mouse cursor size with each click across your website, and saves the size across sessions. 😂

Don't rely on voice assistants to actually be helpful. Every single one of these is a hallucination and I actually forgot to set a timer. 🙃
