This one is for new parents.

My latest app is now in the AppStore. Wake Wise. A Baby Sleep Tracker with suggested bedtimes.

Built whilst our latest family member is asleep 😴

And @chloebulmer1705 loves it 😂

To everyone I argued with about the problems with styled-components over the years:

I’ll keep it short unlike those conversations - told you so 🤣🤣

styled-components maintenance mode doesn't have to mean panic mode.

Our engineer @codey.bsky.social made performant community forks. Linear's already seeing 40% faster renders with zero code changes.

Not a permanent fix, but it buys you time to migrate properly.

styled-components maintenance mode: A 40% faster fork | Sanity
After styled-components entered maintenance mode, we forked it with React 18's useInsertionEffect. Result: 40% faster renders for Linear. Open source solution.

The email every iOS developer wants, now I just need to make AppStore artwork that pops so I get selected 😏

I’ve been working on a new iOS 26 app in stealth mode the last few months and it’s nearly time to share with everyone.

What it's like talking to people who suffer from the curse of knowledge in tech.

I like Liquid Glass 🤷‍♂️ It has some problems but so did the iOS 7 Beta redesign.

The accessibility problems I see floating around look like bugs than intentional. The keynote explicitly mentioned the text adapts to the background. It’s not doing that.

Dead hangs and jump rope are underrated. Highly recommend to anyone sat in front of a computer daily.

1. Grip strength improving.
2. posture fixed.
3. AND FUN.

Writing code without AI is like writing JavaScript without TypeScript. It’s a slow process and feels clunky.

Devs that claim we don’t need React anymore aren’t seeing the bigger picture.

Recruitment/Onboarding will be much harder with a slower ramp up to being productive.

LLMs aren’t trained as well on Angular, Svelte or web components and the communities are far smaller.

a lecturer once told me the most important skill for anyone in tech is the ability to communicate and convey ideas and not the code we write.

In today’s world of LLMs and vibe coding, this skill is even more important.

The prompts you use drastically change the outcome.

It’s the simple things that make a developers day.

Positive feedback and a suggestion. I always use this an opportunity to prompt a user to leave a review on the AppStore which always helps with ASO 🤓

If you can’t context switch effectively then that’s a code smell; your architecture isn’t modular enough.

You shouldn’t need to load a whole bunch of context into your brain to complete a task.

Back in 2020, I developed an RSI. For 7 months, I couldn’t type without pain.

Fortunately, I was able to find a solution for myself! I can type as much as I want now, and I don’t worry about RSIs at all anymore.

I recently published my experience in a new blog post:
My Personal Experience with RSI • Josh W. Comeau
I spent the better part of a year dealing with cubital tunnel syndrome, a painful nerve issue. This blog post details how I solved this problem.

This article is a topic I’ve been feeling internally for a while now.

We should be focusing on user needs, not developer convenience. It’s likely you don’t need React and simpler technology will serve you better.
