@sachagreif.com this state of JS question is kind of leading, no? i use bundlers all the time but there are downsides, too — non-JS languages *require* a build step, transpiled code can be less portable and harder to debug, etc. i don't feel like this question is set up to capture the tradeoffs here

Is there a better city than NY? On my way to a meeting in midtown and Ed Sheeran and a full band hop on the subway!1

i know we're all tired of the DHH stuff, but… if you've written this off as a normal political disagreement or just been too overwhelmed to look into it (understandable!), i really think you should take five minutes to read firsthand exactly what these people are defending with their whole chests:

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

man — even knowing DHH had questionable politics, some of the links here to his blog posts astonished me. i am not exaggerating at all when i say the dude is an unabashed segregationist.

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

`field-sizing` on `<input>` is really handy for groups of editable chips!

your regularly scheduled reminder not to let the triangle company host your projects

Not a comment on any particular site but event delegation seems to have fallen by the wayside for many front end devs which is a real shame. Perhaps the component model makes it too easy to forget about how things piece together, i.e., the effects of component being rendered 100+ times on a page.

does anyone know how to make this not ever show up again

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

there's a new armor for sleep song and it is not good 😔

reminder that bsky.team only has jurisdiction over what happens on their servers. If you self-host or are hosted by blacksky.app they cannot remove your posts. they can hide it on bsky.app but it will still be up elsewhere. signups and migrations are open.

CSS `field-sizing` on a `<textarea>` is obviously awesome. But the horizontal growth using it on an `<input>` is less clearly useful to me. But check out this design pattern I cooked up. I don't hate it. Keeps the name area compact until you need to see more. Just a bit of flexbox wrapping.

i really wish browsers let you define your own handlers for import attributes. like, imagine you could do something like this:

will every politician and media figure who sent their well wishes to charlie kirk do the same for these people? or is that sympathy reserved only for christian fascists who use their platform to harm others?

Seems like an appropriate time to re-share the @aaronboodman.com thread. "Chrome was delivered without any sprints at all" xcancel.com/aboodman/sta...

lots of advice in software engineering is situational but here is a 100% absolute rule: if you have access to a dependency's source code, you should read it before adding it to your project

agree with all this and i'll actually go further: usage of trivial dependencies like is-number or shebang-regex is a strong indicator that a library is low quality

i made an interop proposal for CSS module scripts

I am of the stance that if you view including accessibility as part of your design or development process as a hinderance to creativity, it's more likely a lack of curiosity or technical acumen on your end.

the modal AI criticism on here is akin to abstinence-only religious rhetoric, and it's harmful for the exact same reason: people will first encounter the hardline claims, realize they're bullshit and then ignore actually good criticism because they assume it's just as wrong.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

the same silicon valley right who say and do nothing to stop the president they spent billions to elect from kneecapping the country's scientific institutions? yeah, they don't actually want to build stuff.

Republicans on NYC's Board of Elections think they can illegally overrule ballot questions—or at least delay for long enough that the questions can't be printed on ballots. Signal boost, send emails, and help us stop them:

Composition with the Shadow DOM is more powerful than you think. You can do a lot with the default named slot assignment, but manual slot assignment is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… unnatural.</emperor-palpatine>

i should explain why i'm so excited about this. i have a love/hate relationship with javascript. it's the most brittle part of the web stack. all else being equal, if you can do something without javascript you probably should.

modern HTML is so good

modern CSS is so good. need to take a color from your design system, desaturate it and lower the opacity? oh and you want different values for light mode and dark mode, too? boom, easy:

`corner-shape: squircle` is such a nice little progressive enhancement

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

i've been building a native iOS app in my spare time and my god the development experience is MISERABLE. swift type checker error messages routinely have nothing to do with the actual error and xcode is a terrible editor. we don't know how good we have it on the web, y'all!

I've open sourced Ripple! github.com/trueadm/ripple It's super early days, not much works and there's little to no documentation or guidance. Plus the codebase is raw, but I at least wanted to share my ideas with the community. :)

saw some fediverse and atproto people taking potshots, and voilà! i'm now a bit less excited about building things for either one
