It keeps on not stopping from happening, folks. Come join me on the stream while I cook up the latest issue of the JavaScript for Everyone newsletter, and find out whether I have Big Opinions about this time of year vis-à-vis capitalism (I do)! youtube.com/live/OlM3BIl... www.twitch.tv/wiltostreams

Not every day you get a physical e-mail from the United States. These rad stickers landed in my letterbox courtesy of one @wil.to.

Imagine an infinite field, extending to the horizon in every direction. The ground is near-choked out with rakes, with a hapless person slowly trying to traverse the terrain. Every step leads to a smack in the face. This is Mozilla's product strategy. connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussio...

Huh, I was so deep in the JavaScript mines for so long that I completely missed `:heading()` dropping An+B syntax. —I'm not writing about this! Don't put it in the newspaper that I'm writing about this!

Web Components Demystified is a certified banger — I grabbed a copy when it first came out, and I've been revisiting it ever since. If you were thinking about picking up a copy of JavaScript for Everyone anyway, now's the time: bsky.app/profile/picc...

Hey, anybody having any luck with a minimally viable self-hosted Notion-like that allows for commenting and proposed edits? Notion's increasingly sweaty "DO U WANT TO AI THIS OR ANYTHING PLEASE GOD WE INVESTED SO MUCH IN THIS" is really getting to me.

Yeah! Go get @wil.to’s amazing new course and get an extra one from me for free

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Alright, where was I?

So, looks like I have _I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death)_ stuck in my head for the rest of my natural life, huh?

I've started using Lynx for a couple of things — for real — and I regret to inform you all that It Rules, Actually:

Big news, everyone: this is it! This is the one! This is the last thing I will ever write! I am never writing anything ever again! wil.to/newsletters/...

View transitions are pretty neat, and I was fortunate enough to write a piece for @piccalil.li about putting them to work. They're such an exciting new part of the web platform, and I'm elated to see new and boundary-pushing effects making their way into production. #WebDev #ViewTransitions #CSS

DO-OVER. The course has been launched, the variables have been hoisted, the functions have been curried, and I am never writing anything ever again for the rest of my life, but the newsletter continues on! Join me as I write the— wait. Hm. youtube.com/live/2EJ8Wd7... www.twitch.tv/wiltostreams

Every ounce of my willpower to not respond to an “I’ll book some time on their calendar” just now with “so mote it be.”

On the plus side, at least that Elementor WordPress plugin is named “Elementor,” so I can write things like “ah, Elementor—my old foe! Thine markup remains as shambolic as ever, I see” as wizardpost placeholder for myself in accessibility documentation. There are no other plus sides to Elementor.

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name. I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."

@arturo182.bsky.social Hey, is there any shot at a Serpente comeback one day? They'd be the perfect little board for slapping together custom Framework expansion cards.

Kind of a long shot, but any of you dorks know of a tiny board like this male one available anywhere? I need to add a couple of keyboard-mapped buttons to a tiny ~1.5"×1.5" enclosure. www.tindie.com/products/art...

Just updated my dev rig. Pretty sweet! #WebDev #CSS #Development

See, my Windows VM pipes audio out though my normal headset, but my Mac VM can only do audio if I provide it with a USB passthrough device, and that’s why I'm standing in a literal padded room wearing two sets of headphones and listening to NVDA and VoiceOver at the same time, like a normal person.

Now that things will be a little quieter around here, I’m thrilled to announce my next big project: never writing anything ever again, so long as I live, including this very pos

You know what, fine! Maybe now you’ll NEVER get to hear my cool Mega Man X/JavaScript analogy! Because maybe I can’t remember what it WAS! wil.to/newsletters/...

Alright, this is it — only a few hours left on the launch price for JavaScript for Everyone. Grab yourself a discounted spot, learn the hell outta JavaScript, and _get weird_. I’ll see you over in the Discord, yeah? piccalil.li/javascript-f...

As I’ve mentioned, the JavaScript for Everyone lesson on iterators was one of my favorites to write (frustrating as it was at times). Well, thanks to our friends over at @smashingmagazine.com, you can read that very lesson right now! www.smashingmagazine.com/2025/10/java...

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout. - Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere - We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled scrolling with a reminder that JavaScript for Everyone goes back up to full price at the end of the day tomorrow. Don't miss out! piccalil.li/javascript-f...

Don’t miss my chat with @meyerweb.com and @bkardell.com if you want to finally learn the answer to that ancient and oft-retold riddle: “why is learning about JavaScript's iterators much like the philosophy behind Sonic the Hedgehog’s level design?” bsky.app/profile/igal...

Been a little busy so I completely missed that @wil.to launched JavaScript for Everyone, which you should go sign up for

I’d never tell anyone they MUST* understand JavaScript to work on the web, but I will make the case that one SHOULD*. To understand JavaScript is to know the boundaries of how users can interact with your medium — any role is improved by that. wil.to/newsletters/... * www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119

You might know `NaN` means “not a number,” and you might know that not-a-number `NaN` IS a number — but did you know that the not-a-number number `NaN` is not not-a-number? piccalil.li/blog/nan-the...

🎙️ New Episode of Igalia Chats The Charm of JavaScript: Boom Mics and Clown Shoes @wil.to joins @meyerweb.com and @bkardell.com on Igalia Chats to get weird and talk about JavaScript, boxing, charity and platform permanence. www.igalia.com/chats/2025-w...

We're pretty aware, generally that JavaScript is weird, but did you know Not-A-Number (NaN) is a type of number? Mat Marquis walks us through why that is and how to deal with NaN well in your codebases.

Hey, so @wil.to has a new online course called JavaScript for Everyone brought to you by our friends at @piccalil.li. Can't. Recommend. Enough. 🏆 Anyway, enjoy this free excerpt on JS expressions from the course! css-tricks.com/an-introduct...

I'm posing in merch again... This one is from @wil.to's new course at @piccalil.li: piccalil.li/javascript-f... Like the web, JavaScript *is* for everyone. It is a web fundamental, fun to play with and very worth learning (more) about 🟨 Nice logo work, @wil.to and @chriskirknielsen.com 🤩

It keeps on not stopping from happening, folks: come join me as I put the finishing touches on this week’s JavaScript for Everyone newsletter, and start working on a little semi-secret side thing. youtube.com/live/9DO-ClE... www.twitch.tv/wiltostreams

The I-think-true-last-boss “runback” in Silksong gets me every time. I’m such a sucker for a “this time, this is it; this is the one”-game.

I've never really done video for anything before, so I tried out a couple of different intros for this while I was trying to figure out how to do all this in the first place. But, I dunno.

I've had a few questions from folks who want to know a little more about the course before snagging a seat, and a lot of this information is buried in newsletters and blog posts—I thought a video might be a quick way of getting it all in one easily-digested place: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXt6...
