Happy holidays! I thought I would sneak in a little gift for everyone with the #WebComponents Language Server for @zed.dev! Enjoy! wc-toolkit.com/integrations...

The CSS is Awesome Game show was a blast and I am so thankful for our contestants and all who helped make it happen: @castastrophe.bsky.social, @davatron5000.bsky.social, @nerdy.dev, @miriam.codes, @chriscoyier.net and @oddbird.dev If you missed it, here's the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcEn...

The good dude @lukeoneil47.bsky.social let me write about the 20 best books that I read in 2025. If you're wondering "what should I read?" here's your list www.welcometohellworld.com/20-books-you...

It's really sad that Chrome laid off one of the world's best CSS developer-designers, and now they have to fake demos of web features. youtu.be/d8J0vs-bEPE?...

Can we get an “onafterpagecrash” event so companies can track how many times their apps fall over? Sheesh.

Goodnight Figma Goodnight Code Goodnight Teams Goodnight Node Goodnight Outlook Close your eyes Goodnight Office 365 for Enterprise

Been catching up on @amyhupe.bsky.social's wonderful Systems of Harm podcast and really enjoyed this episode with @tink.uk. Covers a lot from #a11y to #AI and I always find Léonie's perspective valuable. systems-of-harm.fireside.fm/ep2-leonie-w...

Dear Amy of Amy's Enchiladas, Your microwave instructions say to cook for 5 minutes on Medium then 1-2 minutes on Hot. I'm here to say ain't nobody know how to use the medium setting on their microwave. I don't own a microwave for nuanced reheating. You are embarrassing yourself. Please stop.

I think everyone has approximately the same amount of conspiracy energy, and if you don’t dissipate it decoding taylor swift lyrics or debugging linux drivers, it inevitably comes out as beliefs about faked moon landings

An enjoyable look at how LLMs work under the hood from @samwho.dev. The whole chain of tokenizers (text chunks), embeddings (vectorized text chunks), transformers (the "T" in ChatGPT), caching (reused chunks), and all the math that goes into returning a response. ngrok.com/blog/prompt-...

We're playing the CSS is Awesome Game again this year – run by @stacykvernmo.com, with @davatron5000.bsky.social, @castastrophe.bsky.social, @nerdy.dev, and myself as competitors. Join us, and play along in the chat! #css youtube.com/live/xcEnjGP...

We begin this meeting as we do every meeting with a recounting of every grievance we've ever had throughout all of time... Let us bow our heads.

A video editor in the browser? Nice. And it's made of #webcomponents!? NOICE! en.masher.media/index.html /via @unapologetic.io

I feel seen. “I have a 401k and a mortgage. I can’t be good at video games.” @davatron5000.bsky.social

What’s the best way to merge multiple old hard drives? ideally it would let me resolve merge conflicts (ie, photos with same name when the md5 is different). Any good tools for this?

Gonna pull a Wicked and write an entire musical about how the Grinch was right.

If there's a better way to let people know you're available for work than writing a curse word laden blog post, I simply do not want to hear it! Jokes aside, what do YOU call this kind of contact page? www.nicchan.me/blog/the-f-o...

If that water was so smart, it probably wouldn’t have got itself stuck in a bottle.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

Free product idea: Cable management but my back still works after doing it.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

If you’re not FIFA, keep scrolling… … … You gotta fuckin’ tone it down. We all know how to manipulate him into doing corruption but this is way too obvious. You, Tim Cook, and Switzerland are on notice. Hold it down and just buy his memecoin and a golf membership like everyone else.

@shauninman.com i saw you archived MinUI, are you involved with NextUI at all or interests moved elsewhere?

so… who's looking for a frontend dev? i'd love to work on/with a robust design system DMs are now wide open!

Custom Properties compute before they inherit ... and by registering a custom property with a certain syntax, CSS knows what to compute it to ... but if you don't register it, it can't be computed … so then you inherit the declared value. See www.bram.us/2024/07/01/c... for more details.

weird. wonder why they'd want to disenfranchise these jobs ahead of a mid-term election year. i guess we'll never know.

📝 “Growth” is an interesting word. In the natural world, you tend to it. In the business world, you “hack” it, “engineer” it, and do everything you can to otherwise accelerate, manipulate, and manufacture it into existence. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2025/grow-li...

Great post by @knowler.dev looking at the underused `assignedNodes()` feature of the `<slot>` element to manually assign specific elements to a specific slot. knowler.dev/blog/an-intr...

Been to a lot of conferences... BT is special.

You can now easily customize find-in-page with the new ::search-text pseudo-element, that is shipping in Chromium 144.0.7547. 🚀 Find more details on the blog post by Stephen Chenney: blogs.igalia.com/schenney/fin... Thanks to Bloomberg for sponsoring this work.

The buck stops... uh... on this guy right here! Good luck with those war crimes, brother.

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

we just added FAIRIES to tldraw.com

New in Chrome DevTools in Chrome 144: we now show the Adopted Style Sheets in the Elements tree.

I’m so into this. You could make reusable behaviors (like focusgroup), template directives (like Vue or HTMX), or handle what people are doing with “LightDOM web components” without custom elements. A predictable API with setup and tear down lifecycle methods would a net win for authoring.

The ever-thoughtful @frankchimero.com captures a lot of the subtlies of the current moment. Embodies a lot of what is swirling around in my own brain, but in a much clearer and better designed way. frankchimero.com/blog/2025/be...

This thing where we engaged in commerce once and now you get to email me for the rest of my life needs to stop.

“Hey Dave. How much time did you spend today trying to find a smell?” A lot, okay. A lot. “Did you find ever find the source?” No, but now it’s a new smell.

churned out a bunch more codemods 👀 we'll add tooling around these ultimately but you can programmatically use them today. each one is a modernisation codemod, in that it migrates from older syntax to new
