alright, #BadUXWorldCup is too fun to pass up

how about a virtualized date picker? "virtualized" as in "virtual machine"

surprisingly easy to operate, just write some bytes to input a date

here's me entering the birthday of Internet Explorer, get creative with yours!

Today I had one of those dreams when you wake up and write your genius idea down.

my notes:

- hypothetical assertions in @vitest.dev
- expect(n).toWouldHaveBeenCalled
- expect(n).toMayHaveBeenCalled

in my morning mind this was revolutionary, unlocking branching reality timeline API

This is so cool. One of the best explainers on this topic I've seen so far.

✨ Big O ✨

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.

With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

A book page that has text: "But what if Callie was busy baking a big cake (a long-running task on her Call Stack), and a tiny note arrived saying, 'Quick! Add a pinch of salt!'? Manny knew this was a microtask, so he'd give that tiny note to Speedy Sam for his urgent queue."

Damn @ollie-williams.bsky.social‬ already posted this while I was making that codepen :D

I don't think it is possible for completely dynamic arbitrary values, but if you know a set of values in advance, perhaps you could pre-generate some :has CSS selectors like this?

I have accidentally created the most uncomfortable notification stack known to man 😭

Still looks cool because of the view transitions though.

How do you deal with edge-cases when cats enter or leave the house through means different to a cat flap? I could imagine the cat presence state can become inverted when a cat slips through a door alongside a human.

Lame idea of the day: "I'm Feeling Lucky" on cal.com.

If both of us are authorized with connected calendars and working hours, the button one-click schedules an event at the earliest available time for both parties.

A cal.com scheduling page with a new button saying "I'm Feeling Lucky" next to the time slot

That's just the average Jake & Surma podcast release schedule, nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm working on a massive JS Ecosystem guide and I'm SO pleased with this little prototype. Just about 10 lines of JS (pretty much only IntersectionObserver and button events) + CSS scroll-snapping.

Everything is scroll-driven 🤌🤌

A while ago I also made a Chrome extension to help out with filling out all the massive CFP forms. You can add favorites and sort by the deadline as well, but it needs some work and it lacks the sync between different devices.

Other than what's already mentioned there's cfp.watch by @rowdy.codes! I also use confs.tech and a few other resources with less coverage.

The time has come! After a long time off I'm looking for a new remote job.

I do developer experience (perhaps a bit of devrel as well!). Design systems, SDKs, front-end tooling is my jam.

You can see some of my work at mkrl.xyz.

What else did you expect from a conference run by engineers? Naming is a fundamentally hard problem across the stack.

It was an absolute pleasure to give a slightly chaotic JS ecosystem tooling overview talk at @jnationconf.bsky.social

Full of fantastic people and packed with content, what a conference!

I have 1 ticket to @jsheroes.io to give away. If you are a student or simply someone who is on the verge of going - please DM me. DM me if you know someone who might need one.

Very sad to miss this year due to a family emergency. Hands down, one of the best JS conferences in EU.

Little known fact, but on May 1st polish people gather around the parlament to raise awareness of the importance of RSS feeds. Truly proud to live here.
