PSA: if you’re in Georgia (the US state, not the country), there’s an important election happening now that you probably don’t know about! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgvE...

I think this is a really great point. I’ve had *moments* with Cursor where it’s been 10x faster than what I’d have done by hand, and those moments are super memorable. But most of the time, my experience is a lot more mixed.

⏰ It’s the last day to sign up for my new course in Early Access! At 5PM ET (UTC -04:00), registration closes and it won’t reopen until the full release, sometime in 2026 (and at a dramatically higher price!). You can learn more here: whimsy.joshwcomeau.com

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. 😄

Hi everyone! I’ve mostly been lurking here but I have a question for y’all: Would you be interested in content on how to use AI to build and maintain automated tests for your code?

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework. We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework. react.dev/blog/2025/02...

OH MY GOD DOGE didn’t secure their CMS database and hasn’t taken this stuff down 🤣 If this link breaks - I’ll put screenshots

🌍 Do you speak a language other than English? I need your help! I’m working on a landing page, and a little easter egg is that the tagline can be translated into a bunch of different languages. If you’re a native speaker, I’d love if you could review my machine translations. ❤️ Thread 🧵

been reading a lot of comments today about how people find man pages hard to read and it made me mad (why do they have to be so hard!) so I'm giving away 300 copies of Bite Size Command Line to folks for whom $12 is a lot of money! (with code BUYONEGIVEONE) wizardzines.com/zines/bite-s...

Truth.

Shout out to @joshwcomeau.com's principles. He closed his 135K Twitter account, despite it being a major marketing tool for his content and courses. He spent his final days informing his followers about the election before closing it and moving here. Protest isn't always convenient.

I posted this in 2016 and I'll share it again.

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

And if he wins what then? Then we take care of each other. And if she wins what then? Then we take care of each other. And if? And if? And if? Take care of each other.
