The new Rust compiler in Astro 7.0 is COOL but it also changes how some things are rendered. I wrote about the whitespace changes here! cassidoo.co/post/astro-7...

Inspired by @meyerweb.com's talk at @cssday.nl I played with offset-path before, but somehow missed that we can use it with border-box and padding-box, making this so incredibly easy. I need to fix up the code a bit as it's kinda messy, but you can see it here: codepen.io/editor/kevin...

We're looking for a couple more speakers for July and September. If you're interested in speaking, let me know!

An article by the Designers in my team, this is what I've been working on at Monzo monzo.com/blog/reimagi...

npm increasingly feels like a zombie org under GitHub. As someone who's been around the JS ecosystem and part of multiple OSS orgs for years, what I'm seeing isn't just "big co moves slow." It's quiet neglect of critical infrastructure the entire JS world runs on. A short thread 🧵

Our 28th May #FrontEndSheff meetup is this Thursday - feat. Thomas Baker, David Warrington and their insight into styling systems and TypeScript validation. More excitingly: we're sending our organisers a bit earlier to Charles St. to figure out the aircon 🧊 www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

the @e18e.dev npm publishing guide has been updated to recommend the new `npm stage` feature! this guide and the templates it offers are a good way to get setup quickly in a secure way

I've no idea how but I've got the Pugwall theme stuck in my head, and maybe now you do too.

Here's the recording of this year's “What's new in Web UI” talk @una.im and I gave at Google I/O earlier this week. youtu.be/uT7MVcCQ4rw Very happy with how it went, and I think you might find it useful, so give it a watch 😊 #ChromeDevRel #GoogleIO

Get your tickets to @perfnow.nl before prices rise on July 1st! I say this every year and I will continue to say it: there is nowhere better to learn about #webperf 🚀 The speaker line-up is always absolute gold and the hallway track is just as valuable.

Did you know `AbortSignal` has a `timeout` static method? Pass `AbortSignal.timeout(5000)` straight to `fetch` and bail after 5 seconds. All without a hand-rolled `setTimeout` + `AbortController` dance. https://developer.mozill...

One thing I find super strange is as industry most of us just seem to gloss over the fact we had to steal everyone’s work for these AI tools to exist. Regardless if these tools are useful we can’t just be ok with this right?
