This is why I shouldn't be allowed organisation level access on GitHub.

Had an instance where copilot kept changing my code because it didn't believe the features I was using existed. So I made a fake website that said they did exist, then pointed copilot at that, and *NOW* it believes me. 🙃

Living my best life, or rather many other lives.

I was there and can verify

Oh, and I made my own Slitherlink game for mobile as a PWA because everything else on the market was not... great. I've been busy in my own way.

I've been working on some personal projects that might be worth showing off soon. 🥳 The first is a gravitational quantizer. MIDI IN maybe MIDI OUT, depending on how close it gets to the event horizon. I'm finalising the visuals at the moment which are heavily inspired by TE's work on the OP-1.

Raise your hand if you discovered Weezer after poking around the files on the Windows 95 CD. 🙋

Might have to take TAPEFEAR offline for a bit for a rebuild. 🥲 The costs of the infra have got too much to carry each month with the tightening of budgets. I'll likely take it down to retool, fix issues (it stopped updating) and change the infra so it's cost effective to run.

Spotify Lossless doesn't appear to support the Chromecast Audio. 🤦

It's that time of year again to brush up on your regular expressions. Do you dare to discover the horrors that await in... The Typing of the RegEX thetypingoftheregex.com

Did anyone actually do the age verification here, or have you just accepted using the service without direct messaging?

Got bored and built a background removal tool that after removal adds a checkerboard background and saves it without transparency.

messenger.abeto.co This is freaking insane. The level of polish necessary for this visual fidelity and it all runs flawlessly on mobile. Hats off.

When your colleague isn't looking, update their ChatGPT personalisation setting to only action things when they say "Simon says". 🤫

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.

Someone ported Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation to Linux and it's absolutely transformational on the Steam Deck. Lock a game to 30fps and use 2x frame generation to hit 60fps. It works so well it feels like magic. 🤯 github.com/PancakeTAS/l...

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

Just finished playing Supraland (and the DLC) and doing absolutely everything. It's probably the best puzzle game I've played since Portal. It's *that* good, and criminally overlooked.

I made a quiz about the JS Date parser is. It's very easy and you will score very high. jsdate.wtf

I have a new article out. It's about a better technique to create grainy gradients, without the big problem that layering a noise layer brings: altering the original gradient palette (to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the approach used). #CSS #SVG #filter

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. 😑

👀 Coming to Chrome DevTools in Chrome 138: CSS Value Tracing When you hover a --custom-prop in a `var()`, DevTools currently shows you the computed value. From Chrome 138 onwards, you can hover the `var` part to see how CSS actually got to that value.

Just because I've not been putting out public work lately doesn't mean I haven't been keeping busy with personal projects. 👀 Here's a glimpse at my personal self-hosted web app that automatically keeps track of what I'm playing on Steam and lets me organise my library.

[New blog post] Are CSS Carousels accessible sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-car... In this post, I share some important insights from examining the accessibility of CSS-only carousels that use new features introduced in the #CSS Overflow Module Level 5 spec. #a11y

Why has no-one created a "slop or not" website where you rank content based on if you think it's AI slop.

SEO burnout is real. After over two decades in the trenches, I’ve seen how it creeps in & how to stop it before it wrecks your momentum. In this new video, I explain mastering SEO without burning out. No fluff. Just strategies that actually work. 📹 Watch here: brianharnishseo.com/mastering-ar...

I built a Playstacean!

Spent 2 hours writing, 4 hours editing, and 2 days spiraling about whether anyone would care. finally hit publish anyway. ashley.dev/posts/fear-o...

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. 🫣
