Amazing work by the vite/rolldown team - I can't believe how quickly this is becoming real

What are the root causes of this complexity? Is it framework wars, a pursuit of theoretical perfection, or something else?

I'd love to hear your thoughts: Why has web development tooling become so complex, and is this complexity justified given today's browser capabilities? #vue #javascript

Over the weekend I listened to a clip of DHH on a podcast. He used the phrase "merchants of complexity" and it really stuck with me. DHH argues that with vastly more powerful computers and browsers adding robust features, web development should be easier, not harder.

Just hooked up this 40+ year old Betamax and tuner to capture some home movies. Still works great!

This week, we dive headfirst into something I think about way too much: spacing. Spacing is what gives UI's that "oddly satisfying" feel when done right, and... The Secret Science of Perfect Spacing

Watching CJ try to use Claude code -- it feel like it's not worth using these tools just yet, but I can see some benefit as they get better (and less expensive). Am I wrong?

I think it’s because he’s opinionated and there’s a lot of people in tech with opinions that they’re sure are right.

One thing I'm doing more lately is less streaming service subscriptions, more independent media subscriptions.

What makes LLMs work isn't deep neural networks or attention mechanisms or vector databases or anything like that.

What makes LLMs work is our tendency to see faces on toast.

The obstacles won’t be in the way, the obstacles are the way

Screenshot of code showing a "@ts-expect-error" comment with a red underline. A label reads "I fixed the issue, and now the TS compiler will let me know to remove this flag"

Lil’ TypeScript tip: Instead of using `@ts-ignore` for stuff you don’t feel like fixing rn, use `@ts-expect-error`.

When you do fix the issue, `@ts-expect-error` will *itself* become an error (which you can fix by deleting the comment).

That way, you avoid stale ignores that aren’t needed anymore.

10 years ago I remember almost every gulp/grunt plugin being created by @sindresorhus.com!

Today, when looking to record and share to Obsidian, I stumbled upon Aiko (sindresorhus.com/aiko) only to be pleasantly surprised who the author of the app was.

Great app, easy $20 spent, happy to support!
