Love what @scott.is's approach is all about. Having seen a little behind the scenes on this course, it really is gonna be a good one!

All this talk about AI "tells" in copy is interesting when you consider that the models were trained on what was already out there. We were sounding like each other long before the robots mirrored that back to us.

“So, as we have seen, LLMs are essentially confident-sounding lying machines with a penchant to occasionally disclose private data or plagiarise existing work.”

It's our last post before we take a quick break for Front End North. We look at how design review feedback can be hard to stomach when you've put so much into your design work. Jason shows how the greater good is so much more important than taking it personally. piccalil.li/projects/cou...

Working on merch. Happy days.

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role. Working were design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture. I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

I'm genuinely enjoying writing. It's crept up on me this year as a creative avenue I'm more and more drawn to.

This open working thing is like design therapy. In this issue I talk about decision overwhelm and Fear Of The Blank Page™ 😆 piccalil.li/projects/cou...

The third JavaScript for Everyone newsletter is out, and in it we reveal the upcoming look-and-feel for the course. It is _rad as hell_. So, naturally, I spent the whole time writing about 15–20 seconds of Escape from New York (1981). piccalil.li/emails/mat-u...

We've got availability at Set Studio this summer! We're wrapping up some great work which we can't wait to show you, but for now check out some of the stuff we've achieved 👇 If you've got a project idea cooking, we'd love to hear it. set.studio or hit me up with [email protected]

A new post from the Course Brand Development project is here. Jason walks us through the early parts of design discovery while showing how keeping things lean is really beneficial. piccalil.li/projects/cou...

Last night I stayed up until *stupid o’clock* to get the new issue of my newsletter ready to send out today. Please help me make it all worthwhile by subscribing this morning! I’ve made some tweaks to the design, too, for a better reading experience in your inbox. elliotjaystocks.com/newsletter

Grotesque. I don't think there's a better word to describe AI images.

Perfection.

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.

Be yourself. In this day and age it's one of the highest forms of protest.

The White House briefing room. Four Hs. Three of them are upside down. And it’s been that way since 2007.

time to ramp it up, lads

The more time I spend on the internet in 2025, the more convinced I am that we're rapidly losing the meaning in the making.

Looks like I'm going to have availability for new contracts from later this month I've got 15+ years of frontend experience, with an emphasis on interaction & animation. I'm a dab hand with all the usual frameworks like Nuxt, Next and Astro too If any of that's what you're after, drop me a line 👇

📣 The Big News: I'm going freelance! 🎉 After years of working within creative agencies, designing and building websites, I'm excited to announce that I am going full time freelance! Let's work together! 💬 DM me, visit my website or share this post with your network to spread the good word. 😀

I wrote an article for @piccalil.li about aligning text on the web. It's a deep dive into what makes up the problematic extra space in text boxes (with a little typeface anatomy thrown in), and why I'm excited about text-box-trim as a solution. piccalil.li/blog/why-im-...

Bumping this so I can get a link out today

This is super cool.

Proud to have played a small part in helping @bell.bz bring this course to life alongside the @set.studio team. I’ve learnt a tonne from Andy. Highly recommend checking the course out. (even if I am a little biased! 😆)

does anyone have a good reference point / resource for best practice markup for accessible nested checkboxes in html? thanks 😇

We're currently looking for more work. Both clients and contract. We're both hybrid designer/developers and have access across the board with most techs. Our latest projects include: rocketscience.gg and their sister studios. Also the design system for www.futurehome.io apps. #LookingForWork

I’m really excited for the Complete CSS course from @piccalil.li to release next week — @bell.bz is a wonderful teacher and I've learned so much from his work. Early bird pricing is happening now! css-tricks.com/complete-css...

Hands up if you still consider yourself a "web designer". ✋🏻

One of the reasons many of us have transitioned to Bluesky is due to the toxicity and misinformation on Twitter (Musk's Version) We believe the government should grasp the nettle and become world leaders in tackling disinformation Sign and share if you agree petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

🌠 I’m lucky enough to be a full-time educator. I work exclusively on my blog and courses. A couple of people have recently asked how this happened, how I made it my job. I thought I’d share some info about my experience for anyone else hoping to become a full-time course creator / dev educator!

be cringe. do what you like. share what you like with others. enjoy life.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year. Mainly people escaping Balkan wars. Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers. Had you been taken in? I wouldn’t blame you.

Threaded comments within threaded comments takes a bit of getting used to here.

The “badger” supermoon 🌕 is crystal clear tonight over #chichester. Photo doesn’t do it justice!

What are you working on today?

good thread for newcomers

Glorious.

It’s a dangerous time to be getting back into music production. Black Friday deals this year are insane. Soundtoys 5 for $179. Yoink!

Since joining Bluesky on Friday I have deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times. Turns out even the good kind of social media is addictive.

I put way too much (unpaid) time into this old 'coming soon' page which was online for all of about two weeks so I popped it on GitHub pages so at least I can share it here. futureselves.github.io/quarterre-ho...
