Been working on some better key art for Tea, Please! this weekend. Kinda vibing it!

I’ve been investigating dead websites for years. Same symptoms every time - bloated code, missing structure, too many dependencies and not enough care. It’s not murder. It’s neglect. And it’s everywhere. www.jonoalderson.com/misc/the-dea...

i hated nextjs and vercel before it was cool

Much like the State of CSS Survey - I've been given a special referral link to share to other women developers for the State of HTML survey! Goals are to increase participation of women taking the survey! If you're a woman developer - go and fill it in! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

Why are you shipping 3MB of JavaScript to animate a link? Modern CSS now handles seamless page transitions - natively. No routing hacks. No hydration tax. No excuse.

Modern HTML is a disaster. It’s bloated, semantically meaningless, and hostile to browsers, bots, and users. We’ve traded structure for utility, and performance is paying the price. Semantic HTML still matters - and here’s why. www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/w...

It's full steam ahead on Tea, Please! development! I've also just started up devlogs for it to keep me on track! Here's Devlog 01! (also on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@shibcodes/v...)

This is your periodic reminder that I have the world’s longest ongoing list of accessibility tools for developers and I want more Thank you carry on. Let me know if links die. assisted.site/accessibility

it feels important to keep saying: SPA as an app framework default (and not an opt-in feature) was a mistake

My favourite read of the day! "...they brought with them an architecture-first mindset: patterns, state management, dependency injection, abstracted logic." I repeat, from my talk last month, men are really out here building JS frameworks so they don't have to learn HTML and CSS.

Doing the State of CSS survey and this was interesting to see! One of my favourite (not really) parts of these surveys each year is seeing how horrible the woman:man ratio is lol So, if you're a woman developer go and fill it out too with my ref link! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

I still get mad that 'we' decided at some point to abandon IDs & element names in CSS, shove everything into hyphenated classes, and complain that "its a global namespace" and "naming things is hard". Then, with only source-order remaining, we let JS load our styles in random order.

Calling all content creators who want to flex their decorating muscles ~ MakeRoom's release is right around the corner! Let us know if you're interested in covering the game's launch by filling out this interest form: 🔑 k1zwm815u8b.typeform.com/MakeRoom

lol what is this negging nonsense I just received?

I'm just telling it like it is 💅

A wild Shib appeared! So glad my talk resonated with a bunch of people!

Toot toot! 📣 Teaser trailer for my game Tea, Please! will be dropping at @frostygamesfest.com on 8th of June! 👀

✨ New article is live: CSS Spotlight Effect I asked myself what we could do with just the mouse position, and got to this fun simple effect. Hope you enjoy it, and maybe it will spark some new ideas for you too. 😊 🔗 Check it out on @frontendmasters.com: frontendmasters.com/blog/css-spo...

"Just fucking use HTML" justfuckingusehtml.com

I'll take it further and say many React devs would benefit from building a static website by hand. Straight HTML/CSS/vanilla JS No framework, no build step. Just raw dog the Platform.

made a new website hypertext.tv

a lot of devs have rightfully been pushing to better value the expertise of HTML- & CSS-focused eng more highly, but the actual correct path forward is to actively *devalue* work that does not meet this standard. like i'm glad you're having fun but no one should pay you for your refrigerator sketch

if i have to hand-hold you through using semantic HTML you are not a Web Developer and certainly not a Full Stack Engineer and your six figures should be revoked.

Great blog about the history of the web / CSS! A little trip down memory lane - I'd completely forgotten about having to use Firebug for debugging back in the early 00s! 🙈 eev.ee/blog/2020/02...

need product differentiation? overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to: - polish whatever - add delight wherever and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality
