The biggest selling point for autonomous military AI: it can commit war crimes and no one from the military has to go to jail! Think of the possibilities!

Somehow "we'd be delighted to have the Department of War use our AI for spying and killing, but please make sure it's properly supervised while doing so!" has become the "moral" position. The bar is on the floor…

This seems like the best-case scenario for AI-assisted coding: 1. Experienced engineer leading the project 2. Well-defined problem 3. Lots of existing documentation and tests blog.cloudflare.com/vinext/

A response to me suggesting people move to Bluesky in the latest State of React email: > I’m genuinely concerned that you are using this mailing list to forward your personal political agenda. I'm actually concerned at how many people are *not* using their platform to "forward a political agenda"

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

There still such a big part of the front end community on X… I wonder how we could push more people to come over here.

Is it weird that as a solo entrepreneur, I never know if I should use "I" or "we" as a pronoun in official communications? As in "I'm excited to introduce a new feature" or "we just published xyz…"

The American people demand that rich, corrupt elites whose unbridled greed, rampant sex crimes and blatant lawbreaking have gone unpunished for decades be brought to justice! Or else elected president, either one really!

⚠️ State of React survey results are live! I just went through the results, and there’s *a ton* of interesting stuff in here. Sharing my highlights in this thread. 🧵

Does @astro.build make sense for a pure-React static site like 2025.stateofjs.com (which does include a lot of client-side interactivity)? Or do you lose its benefits if you don't use .astro files?

All my AI-related productivity gains come from me tricking myself into writing code by debugging the stuff ChatGPT produces…

Honored to write the conclusion for the State of React 2025 survey ☺️ Shared some reflections on the past year in React and where things might be heading next. Thanks for the opportunity!

The 2025 State of React survey results are now available! 2025.stateofreact.com/en-US Thanks to @aurorascharff.no for providing a great conclusion.

Polypane 28 is here! This first release of 2026 comes with plenty of improvements to Projects, the new Environments feature prevents you from confusing production for localhost, the Elements panel is faster and more powerful than ever, and it now runs on Chromium 146. polypane.app/blog/polypan...

iOS just lost the 500 tabs I’ve had open for years now… I don’t know if I should be angry or relieved.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

TL;DR from all the surveys seems to be: just use anything with "TanStack" or "Vite" in its name and you'll be good.

Then: "instead of having to rely on language to try and describe what we want to other humans, we can now program computers to do exactly what we want!" Now: "instead of having to program computers to do exactly what we want, we can now rely on language to try and describe what we want to AI!"

@saltyaom.com I don't post on X so just to address your question (x.com/saltyAom/sta...) yes I did add the highlight section later. I thought it'd be cool to add a more personalized touch to the results instead of only having stats and data :) And Elysia seemed like a cool project to call out!

Streams back tomorrow. Excited to talk about my latest Async Work, my foray into using AI tools, and look at the State of JS Results. www.youtube.com/watch?v=drLX...

I just spent a minute looking around for my pajama pants, which I happened to be already wearing… I think I’m ready for AI to come and replace me already.

It took a while, but the State of JS 2025 survey results are now live! 2025.stateofjs.com/en-US Thanks to @danielroe.dev for contributing the conclusion.

Quel bonheur de pouvoir (enfin !) voir le superbe Mars Express de @jeremieperin.bsky.social sur grand écran ❤️ Le film passe dans quelques salles à Tokyo et dans tous les cinémas Human Trust (ヒューマントラストシネマ). Adulte, exigeant, magnifique, incroyablement bien joué et incarné… un film qui fait du bien !

Alex Honnold free soloing a skyscraper on Netflix is a great representation of the ethos of the 2020s. Hope for the best while having no plan in place for the improbable yet catastrophic negative result.

Millennials are now living through (at least) our fourth series of world-changing, unprecedented events (9/11, 2008 financial crisis, COVID, and now whatever this is). Turns out the (relative) peace and quiet of the 90s was the exception, not the rule…

@jennschiffer.com would you like to contribute a "pick of the year" for the upcoming State of JS survey results by any chance? basically any person, blog post, library, feature, etc. that caught your eye last year!

Normal person: my shoulder really hurts today, better take some rest. Me, a fitness enthusiast: my shoulder really hurts today, better exercise to toughen it up!

ChatGPT, is it raining? --- Short answer: yes IT IS raining Here’s the clear breakdown: ❌ it is not sunny outside ❌ water is falling from the sky ✅ you WILL need an umbrella ✅ the rain will stop later ➡️ Would you like me to draft a clear action plan on how to prepare for the current weather?

At this point I think our best option is to build a fake Greenland so we can let Trump "invade" it. Elon get on that?

I've been putting together a collection of web badges/buttons after being nerd sniped by @strange.website. I plan to make a great deal more, but these are what I've got so far. vale.rocks/portfolio/88... #88x31 #WebBadges #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

This is great for the Astro team, but it's honestly worrying for the web as a whole. More and more open-source project teams (Astro, Bun, Nuxt, Svelte…) are joining bigger corporations instead of being able to remain independant. blog.cloudflare.com/astro-joins-...

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." ― Frank Herbert, Dune cassidoo.co/post/good-br...

In sharp departure from health and science authorities, Trump administration now advises lifting with your back, not with your legs.

Sure, attacking a sovereign country with no authorization or justification whatsoever is bad, but on the other hand I did see live footage of real Venezuelan cats dancing and celebrating in the streets, so I guess it’s ok?

One thing that’s missing from a lot of modern parenting advice is the clear warning that no matter how gentle and understanding *you* may be, there’s absolutely no guarantee your kids will return the favor!

My new completely pointless hobby: asking ChatGPT to criticize welds.

If I could give one piece of advice to programmers it would be: actually *read* the error message, don't just assume it will be unhelpful and skip over it. I'm often just as guilty of that myself…

Never noticed until today that the Reddit logo has two little hidden speech bubbles. Nice detail!

Have you been wishing masonry layouts would just hurry up and arrive in CSS?? Well, happy holidays! webkit.org/blog/17660/i...

In case you've missed it: the State of HTML 2025 survey results are now available! 2025.stateofhtml.com/en-US Big thanks to @lea.verou.me and @d12n.me for their help!

The irony is that I'm banned from that subreddit… for posting about the surveys :/

It took a while (mainly due to the huge quantity of data collected on some questions!), but the #StateOfHTML 2025 survey results are now live! 2025.stateofhtml.com/en-US/ Big thanks to @lea.verou.me who not only designed the original survey back in 2023, but then came back this year to update it.

I wonder how famous you need to be before you to get to sign those autograph posters in Japanese restaurants… and how can I get there?

As I watch how easily kids can fall into the YouTube Shorts/TikTok/Instagram/etc. rabbit hole, it's making me really value single-use devices like calculators, digital cameras, or even typewriters more. Maybe convenience *shouldn't* always be the highest priority…

Very cool AR drawing app that I just found about yesterday: davincieyeapp.com Kids really enjoyed it!

On day 8 @patrickbrosset.com illustrates how the fact that HTML is so forgiving can be a blessing and a curse. #htmhellAdventCalendar htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

never change, Japan.

A16z is such a trash company… they keep investing in those scam crypto gambling apps youtu.be/julHFXsKsdQ?...

Wow. Imagine a future where you can **invest** into the outcome of any event! Soon you will even be able to **invest** in things like card games, horse races, or slot machines!
