As it turned out, I’d still be creating new bugs twenty years later.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social from TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.

It’s always fun to chat with @codey.bsky.social about things we can fix or improve by ✨ using the web platform ✨.

Great news 🤩 For anyone interested in how to use progress in fluid typography @matthewmorete.com made an excellent post about it here 👇 blog.master.dev/fluid-typogr...

I always struggle with finding the right icon, so I built semantic search into our icon picker @sanity.io ✨ No more time spent trying to remember if the icon is called `create-user` or `add-person` 😮‍💨

With style queries now in all browsers, here's my take on the best way to do dynamic color theming with modern CSS: - Custom properties - light-dark() - contrast-color() - Style queries - Relative color syntax (^Features available in all modern browsers) Read about it ⬇️⬇️ una.im/modern-css-t...

Wow! If headingoffset lands across browsers, it’ll be truly wonderful. I’m still not over the HTML5 outlining algorithm getting walked back.

CSS style() queries landed in Firefox 151 making them newly available across engines. Here's how they work:

Design Book answers the question: what if all the micro-decisions you take while coming up with design tokens were the actual design system? meodai.github.io/design-book/

The WebDX Community Group released a new CLI to query pretty much everything about a web feature: - browser support - baseline info - specs / docs - bugs / WPT tests - interop status - ... All in one query. 👏 www.npmjs.com/package/web-... If you live in the terminal it's def worth checking out.

Axel is perhaps the most professional and diligent JS educating author. I remember when it felt like a new JS feature wasn't "done" until he had written the corresponding explainer article. You can thank him by buying his books 📚

One cool thing we're doing at @jazz.tools is reimagining migrations. Instead of migrating your data, you tell clients how to read it, inspired by @inkandswitch.com's Cambria paper. Last week I built this interactive diagram to show how it works. Check it out in our docs: jazz.tools/docs/schemas...

two upcoming javascript proposals i'm really excited about: - module declarations will let you define multiple javascript modules inline within a single file (github.com/tc39/proposa...) - module expressions will let you create workers without requiring a separate file (github.com/tc39/proposa...)

Yet another AI telling me individual transform properties don't exist...

Today, we launched Effect v4 beta 🚀 Rewritten runtime. Smaller bundles. Unified package system. Performance: v4 is faster and lighter than v3 across the board. Rewritten runtime: lower memory overhead, faster execution, simpler internals. Full announcement: effect.website/blog/release...

⛩️ Just released Waku v1.0.0-alpha.1, a React Server Components framework! Cloudflare Workers support is out of experimental and now works out of the box. See waku.gg/blog/cloudfl... There is a breaking change to API routes. See github.com/wakujs/waku/... for the migration guide.

The real singularity is just google using slop to fake a browser feature that actually exists in multiple browsers. Who made the demo? No one. Who needs it? No one. Devrel no longer requires developers on either end. Capital has become sentient and self-sustaining. We did it! 🎉

To rely on LLMs as a source of knowledge in a constantly changing, unpredictable, and chaotic world is nuts to me. To reduce discovery of knowledge to what was scraped at some past snapshot in time, and assume it’s an accurate portrayal of the world right now? Seems like a huge loss.

ReScript 12 is here! A major step toward a leaner, faster, simpler toolchain. This release refines the language and embraces ReScript’s own identity. Blog: rescript-lang.org/blog/release... Notes: github.com/rescript-lan... Huge thanks to everyone who helped move ReScript forward.

I think the dependency "cooldown" approach is fundamentally flawed and a total distraction from the work that would actually solve supply chain issues - sandboxing and attestation. insanitybit.github.io/2025/11/22/o...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @michael.ficarra.me on advancing Iterator Sequencing to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉 let it = Iterator.concat(it1, it2, ...) It helps you create an iterator by stitching together a sequence of iterators 👍 github.com/tc39/proposa...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to my coworker @ashley-c.bsky.social at TechAtBloomberg on advancing Await Dictionary to Stage 2.7 at TC39 today 🎉 Promise.all returns positional results as an array. Promise.allKeyed allows named results inside an object 👍 github.com/tc39/proposa...

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act. The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

@pnpm.io getting better by the day pnpm.io/blog/release... I still can't believe that a one-person package manager is doing better than npm CLI, owned by a corporate, where the resources of the two projects are incomparable. Draw your own conclusions.

"Our current backend has been chugging along since basically the beginning of the company. We knew that we needed a full reboot of our backend... Enter Zed Cloud." @maxdeviant.com reflects on how we're rebuilding our cloud infra in Rust and Cloudflare: maxdeviant.com/posts/2025/h...

Couldn't sleep so I built Game of Life in @sanity.io's Portable Text Editor 👉 portable-text-of-life.vercel.app 🧑‍💻 github.com/portabletext...

All of the colors are calculated based on a single CSS variable using relative oklch, so you can change the theme with just one line. --tint: green; Modern CSS is amazing! 😲

Last minute tweaks to the slides 🤏 got two looooong flights ahead 😮‍💨

i think migrating away from Vercel hosting is a solid idea. i moved my Next.js blog to Cloudflare (for free) and have been very happy with that with Next.js 16+ committing to deployment adapters (and Vercel adapter using the same API), we should hold their feet to the fire on the ease of migration
