Lots of companies are putting UI on top of LLM text so users can digest information more easily. It makes responses feel less intimidating. Normal websites could benefit from the same idea since every user is looking for something slightly different.

OpenAI is cooking

If you use shadcn but don't know already, they have an MCP server so your AI can know what components you have available in the registry, fetch their documentations, and install the components. With the right prompt it can get you 80% of the way.

Just discovered TypeGPU. It's a TypeScript-first way to write GPU shaders and compute pipelines.
You stay in TypeScript, it auto-generates WGSL for WebGPU. 🔥
Perfect for experimenting with rendering, compute, and even AI inference in the browser.

After Apple Music Web was written in Svelte, the new App Store Web is also in Svelte!

Apple really likes Svelte for their web. They used to mention React and Angular in their job postings but not sure where those are used.

You probably need this.
OpenAI has doc on what prompts you can have or should use for different roles. Besides email drafts or meeting summary, you can compare vendors as IT or brainstorm and visualize marketing campaign ideas.

This component library gives me Starcraft vibe crafting all those shapes in SVG giving you a retro space touch. If your project matches the vibe, this might be for you.

OpenAI released a new model, GPT-5-Codex, on Monday for agentic work.

It claims superior performance over GPT-5, with higher benchmark scores, improved refactoring accuracy, and enhanced frontend capabilities. I'll need a project to verify the frontend claims.

This is an interesting read on looking at React differently after working with Solid. It specifically mentions how different the rendering mechanism is. You need to tell Solid to re-render where React needs to be told not to.

Blog post is in the comment.

I haven't seen this on LinkedIn yet but seems companies are hiring software engineers back to fix the code generated by AI now?

I thought about it before just as a meme but didn't expect this to actually happen.

Very amazed by this demo using various modern CSS rules like gradients, blend mode, transforms, filters, and animations to achieve these reflections based on your mouse position.

This new RippleJS looks like JSX but less brackets and can use if and for loop directly in JSX. $ makes variables reactive automatically with fine-grain rendering. It already has VSCode and Prettier support.

It takes the best thing from many frameworks into one.

Better later than never. ChatGPT is adding a beta developer mode that lets you add your own remote MCP server for it to use. Available in Pro and Plus users.

I just found a new playground for design inspirations and you can even just use them! It has a list of components, screens, and themes. People can put up their designs and if you don't find any you like, use the AI to craft your own experience.

Everyone loves new components, especially when they animate nicely. Animate UI gives you satisfying components using Tailwind and Motion and easily distributed using shadcn CLI and registry. Easily update and grab what you need.

Claude code in Zed!
No reason for me to use other code editors now.

I was just off the grid for a week and Atlassian bought the Browser Company in cash. Gonna have Jira everywhere now? Would love to see the new marketing slogans now.

Codex is getting feature parity with Claude Code now. With updated CLI and now extension to power up your IDE.

Let's see what this is all about especially after using Dia for some time now.

Check your repo and token if you are using Nx.
On Aug 26, 2025, an supply chain attack happened when one of the Nx maintainers' token was compromised and published malware in Nx. It utilized AI and bad prompts to steal SSH keys, npm tokens, and gitconfig files.

You will probably hear the word Big O the most during interviews when asled to explain your solution. This beautiful and animated website explains what Big O is and how to use it to describe the speed and memory.

Zed just shipped a long requested feature to us: agent integration. Seeing how Claude Code integrates with VSCode so well, there was a discussion to bring the same experience to Zed. The first agent tool is Gemini CLI 🙌
There is also instruction for other agents.

ChatGPT should have virtual list to deal with long conversations. Even Chrome has hard time rendering this and loading the page with all of these DOMs. Did a quick children.length and I have 191 article DOMs 🫠
