My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

Joys of American insurance: dental office tells me to check with my provider to see if I'm covered, my provider's list meanwhile is 5+ years out of date in some cases -- one "active" listed dentist retired back in 2019.
I guess I'm figuring out if I'm covered or not when I get billed, huh?

Reason: Push is only half of whats needed. Web Push is gated behind install. Install for native is easy, for web apps it's hidden to the point developers are forced to build native apps, the very developers that would be using web push.

I think I found a chromium bug - when using moveBefore on a focussed input where you have a selection range it loses its selection range.

“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.

For some bizarre reason StackOverflow recently shipped an update which replaces date stamps with "Over a year ago", as if that was more useful. Now I have to hover and check each to see if "Over a year ago" means 2023 or 2013.
Well done guys, what an update.

Signals flip the script. React renders where you create state. Signals render where you use state. Same state, but you are pushed into patterns that will lead to better performance by default. One paradigm shift away from memoization hell. 🎯

@preact/signals currently* has an issue with how it handles changing signal references within useComputed's captured scope and we were hoping to get a bit of feedback from the community, if anyone wants to offer their opinions and feelings on the matter.

Gosh I just love having to open devtools up & fix my banks' broken website so I can log in and pay them money.
This is like the 5th time I've done it too, second largest bank in the world and they can't be bothered to write a few E2E tests.

Write good commit messages. Yes, even when you’re working on a solo project or one where you work with just one or two other people. Your memory isn’t as good as you think it is (almost no one’s is!) and you’ll be glad you wrote it down. Tonight’s example for me was this: github.com/true-myth/tr...

Not a comment on any particular site but event delegation seems to have fallen by the wayside for many front end devs which is a real shame.
Perhaps the component model makes it too easy to forget about how things piece together, i.e., the effects of component being rendered 100+ times on a page.

Honestly I think that's true for a _lot_ of the maintainer in the ecosystem overall. Even if our libraries directly "compete" with each other in usage terms, most of us are out here chatting, learning, borrowing ideas, and on the same page trying to solve problems and push the ecosystem forward.

A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!
