You don't get it

Missing minutes are normal

It happens all the other times when someone has to be made not able to talk

slurpee machine with one crashed screen

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

It's called ranching

The difference is that it was easier to hide from other people back then

Almost feels like people feel like they have an obligation to socialize and burn time when they're in the office now

There's the whole middle mouse click, but clunky and feels like a dated experience

Some mice have scrollballs- experience is pretty good there- but some have horizontal scroll wheels too (but often those are clunky too)

I think I need to push back more on he concept of mobile when designs come back- and focus on having designers consider the whole picture- because on a desktop, in a small width viewport, horizontal scroll is clunky without a trackpad

PHP and Node.js are NOT rivals.

They are partners.

Together, they can change the game.

Join us for a webinar that bridges the gap.

maybe im socially awkward but i’d rather people treat me normally instead of extending sorry’s and condolences- i get enough of a reminder of my reality when i see a photo of my father or see his shoes and lunch bag waiting for him

the worst part of being in the presence of other people after the event is people reminding you that you’re in the dead parent club

Dear Businesses

Let me opt out of Father's Day promotions for the rest of eternity, thanks

Prepping my Death of the Browser talk for ‪@futurefrontend.bsky.social‬ in Helsinki next week. It's never the same talk twice! This one focuses more on what web devs can do to lean into (or out of) agentic and LLM use.

Can't wait to sauna <3

kind of want to write up about this concept of “infinite scaling” (mentioned in github.com/facebook/rea...) sometime but not sure if it’s gonna sound too pretentious. it’s an interesting property i don’t often see discussed

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

Developers’ side projects If you’re a developer working for software company, does that company own what you do in your spare time?

Most people keep forgetting that Open Source and Open Governance sits into completely different axis.

Overheard at work: “Do you think they’re celebrating Cinco De Mayo at the Gulf of America?”

if you liked my old "React as a UI Runtime" post, i think this one represents something similar for RSC. it’s like “the shortest path to get to the same endpoint”

Two weeks ago, I was in Paris, presenting "Node.js will use all the memory available, and that's ok!" at dotJS. Quite a few people asked me if I planned to write a blog and document my findings.

Here it is!

In our experiment with popular web pages, 17 out of 20 showed improvements, and the average foreground parse and compile times reduction was 630 ms. You can trigger eager compilation for the whole file by inserting the magic comment ``` //# allFunctionsCalledOnLoad ``` at the top of the file. This feature should be used sparingly though - compiling too much will consume time and memory!

Chrome 136+ ships a new V8 version that supports a "compile hint", which makes V8 parse and compile all functions in that file eagerly.

Great for entry points – where you know all functions will very likely be used. Less so as 'one weird trick to make all your JS faster'.

If you write code to make websites (HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, Media) and you get frustrated trying to wrangle your code to work in Safari, which bugs are blocking you? Which existing features would you most like to see improved? If you got a chance to order priorities which effort would you put first?

You're healing

This deepseek situation demonstrates the underwhelming, wasteful output of the western tech industry perfectly.

It’s all built for making billionaires richer and that’s why it’s burning you out.
