Next.js is probably the most overengineered way to build for the web. Tons of built-in stuff you don’t actually need.

WebKit just added new APIs for web extensions in third-party browsers.

Maybe we’ll get safari extensions in Quiche? WWDC is only in two months…

I’m super excited about text-wrap: pretty. In Safari Technology Preview 216, it transforms typography across the board—improving every line through refined hyphenation and a better rag, rather than simply avoiding short final lines.

500 lines of WebGL for what CSS could do in 5.

Think less. Ship worse.

Developing an iOS app is confusing. I love and hate Xcode in equal measure. Swift and SwiftUI make up for some of the pain.

SwiftData is young but feels like the persistence library I’ve always wanted. The future of C looks promising.

You’re shipping AI code to prod. I’m out here trying to learn something new every day.

We are not the same.

I’m this close to wiping my computer and switching to Linux with open-source apps. I’m ready to delete all my accounts with the big tech companies—Google, Amazon, Adobe, Meta, Microsoft, X, and the rest. I’m tried of the exploitation, cutting corners, and ruined quality. Enough is enough.

I dedicated almost five years to learning how to code, and now AI can build an app in half an hour. Does anyone else feel impressed, but also think, “What was the point?”

If you’re a TypeScript dev who thinks typed strings are a gimmick and you’ve never touched ArkType, you’re probably underestimating how far it goes beyond the usual PathString hacks.
The bar is native-level DX. Period.

Building web applications isn’t just about writing code—it’s about thinking through the entire flow. How will users interact with your app? What happens if there’s an error? Understanding user experience and thinking ahead can save you from making costly mistakes.

So, there was this guy who took Karpathy's code for llama2.c and made it work on his powerbook G4, just for fun (2 tok/s). With the help of Gemini2, he transformed the pure C matmul function into Altivec code (SIMD instruction for the powerpc G4, 30% faster) and I decided to play along as well ../

If you’re still avoiding CSS Grid because it “looks complicated,” you’re missing out on one of the most powerful layout tools in web development. Took me 30 minutes to really understand it—and now I rarely touch floats or complicated flexbox hacks.

I once spent two days debugging a “broken” component that turned out to be cached. Clear your cache. Seriously. If it’s behaving in a way that makes no sense, try that first.

If you’re building something new, don’t obsess over perfect architecture from day one. Get it working, then clean it up. Premature optimization still kills more projects than bad code ever will.
