at some point i think the germ of the idea that Europe isn't doing anything unique or irreplaceable in the world economy took root in some quarters. it is completely and totally wrong

"But you see, what I don’t like is my types being part of “the code”. I believe code should be strictly about the behavior. What it’s called. What it does." I could never put into words what annoyed me about TypeScript so on point.

uhm hell yes. the realms are back!

· @npmjs.bsky.social appears to be massively under-resourced for the scale of the registry it operates. My respect to the teams keeping it running through wave after wave of supply chain attacks.

"Just use markdown and git. No CMS. No backend. Pure simplicity." Until you need to share content across pages. Until you need permissions. Until you need AI agents to actually understand your content. Then you're building a backend again 🧵

Damn. Exposed. www.alanwsmith.com/en/37/yq/qm/...

One of the most impactful concepts I ever learned was to "figure out how to get things done when you're not watching." Apply this in process automation, systems resilience engineering, financial management, and other areas. If you need to be present, **you** are the bottleneck.

All of my social media apps are wall to wall gay hockey show except this one so I'm here to correct that.

keep thinking of bottled water as a nice metaphor for open source. we pay for packaging and convenience. the latter is def being subsumed by LLMs! very convenient to talk to a bot. packaging has a lot more to do w taste and pop culture is a real bitch when it comes to good taste.

This has been in the making for over a year, and I'm super excited about the new Web Weekly site! Check it out if you're into Frontend news about browser APIs, CSS features, and web standards. 🥰 webweekly.email There are still some rough edges here and there, but it's about time to get it out. 🫣

I want to dedicate more time to web components this year. You know, in between being mad at the government. I didn't have enough balance last year of good ole lovely web things.

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this. It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.

Add fullscreen controls to videos and iframes with progressive enhancement. One wrapper, zero hassle.

Is “web components” finally no longer considered a dirty word by anyone outside the React-die-hard circle? thenewstack.io/web-componen...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Good thread from a good person in a tough situation ❤️ I’ll keep using and believing in Firefox as long as they employ folks like this.

An enjoyable look at how LLMs work under the hood from @samwho.dev. The whole chain of tokenizers (text chunks), embeddings (vectorized text chunks), transformers (the "T" in ChatGPT), caching (reused chunks), and all the math that goes into returning a response. ngrok.com/blog/prompt-...

playing around with aws lambda durable functions and yup these are an extremely fun and useful primitive in an age of rate limited 'get back to me when you can' LLM apis

Continuing to add more real utilities and components to drop-in-graffiti.netlify.app These are just css/html . No web components, no props, no config, just good base css and minimal classes.

The times might be grim, but this is also the timeline where I can play a PS1 game on a Nintendo console using a Sega-style floating Dpad controller. Gotta focus on the dope stuff.

Me using a vibe-coded UI:

for whom the rate limit throttles

kinda seems now the second biggest limiting factor in software creation is literally rate limits (most limiting factor remains knowing with precision and alignment exactly what to build)

You vibe-coded a site. Content lives in markdown. It works. Then your client asks for a login. The Sanity MCP Server lets your agent set up and manage a real content backend in the same conversation you used to build everything else. www.sanity.io/blog/sanity-...

after Lee Robinson migrated cursor away from sanity.io and explained why, Knut Melvær, head of developer community at Sanity wrote this piece, which I think is eminently sensible. maintaining software is a pain in the ass, and there is a reason we have CMSs www.sanity.io/blog/you-sho...

Oh shit, it's Stylish But Illegal Monkey Day

love how html templating is still such a huge conceptual leap because many folks incorrectly thinking js happens first. that's not how browsers work. HTML renders then, maybe, js executes. but not always. js fails a lot..for a lot of reasons! which you've probably noticed.

This is Kaia. She takes road safety very seriously. Encourages you to do the same. 13/10 please buckle pup (TW: lyss121 & leleleems)

love when an artist or label lets me buy their entire discography in one shot on @bandcamp.com do that more please ! it's convenient for me and I'll do it

One Battle After Another <- wow, see in a theater if you can

rate limiting rules everything around me
