Web Components! This post by @zachleat.com is a good example of a case where it can make fine sense to use an empty custom element that doesn't need to wrap already-functional/meaningful HTML. Those cases tend to be the exception in my experience/preference though!

I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂
I signed up for “Web Components Demystified” by @scottjehl.com and I can't wait to dig in.
This week you can get it for 25$, which is an absolute steal, using the code OCT25-26.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!
