With View Transitions now being Baseline Newly available, and the View Transition API consisting of various features, it can be confusing to know what is supported in which browser versions.

I have no beef with Vite and use it for test projects and apps. I don’t use it for libraries. Vite is great!

“Instead of smoothing the path for everyday tasks, iOS 26 makes users relearn basics while enduring a constant parade of visual stunts.”

Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26

iOS 26’s visual language obscures content instead of letting it take the spotlight. New (but not always better) design patterns replace established conventions.

The Internet killed print, but I would argue toilet paper had a lot to do with it because if we didn’t have toilet paper, the Internet wouldn’t have killed print.

Our low-level brains will for sure get weaker, but developers will adapt and become stronger, faster, and more capable than ever before.

We’re not there yet. We may never get there. But there’s a good chance we do get there. And if we do, knowing what a bubble sort is and when to use it will be way more important than knowing how to implement it from scratch.
