✍️ Just published a new post about my most-anticipated CSS proposals from Interop 2027! If you’re not familiar, the Interop project is a collaboration between browsers to pick shared focus areas. There’s *so much* good stuff this year, it was hard to pick just 10!

Big Tech’s AI earnings look enormous. But the costs are harder to see. Cloud accounting. Datacenter spending. Future infrastructure bets. AI margins that may not be obvious yet. Windows Weekly 995: buff.ly/4iMgrdU

I do not know who at Google thought forcibly inserting this into Drive was a good idea but I hate it conceptually, visually, and from a user interface standpoint

It's been about a week now with my #PebbleTime2 oh how I miss thee @rebble.io The original #PebbleTime was my favorite smartwatch and now I am reminded again of why! 🤓

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

👀 It’s the very final day in my annual Spring sale! If you’ve been eyeing one of my courses, there's just a few hours left before the prices jump back up. Quick thread going through the deals. 🧵

Our full conversation with Andrew Kelley, creator of Zig, is out now. No AI policy, leaving GitHub, a $670K nonprofit, and why there's no 1.0 (yet). Watch here: jb.gg/zig-interview

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

🏫 Friendly reminder that my Open House is currently running! I made a lesson from each course public. It's a super low-friction way to see what you think of my teaching style, and pick up a few new tricks. 😄 The doors close in 4 days, when my Spring sale ends.

Missing the point entirely. The point is to make groceries affordable not manipulate people into making more of a profit Why and in which way are they supposed to out perform private ones?

Toupee Fiasco is fucking HEE-LARRY-US!!!

Saw some comments flying on r/Pebble about people worried about breaking their new Pebble Time 2. I get it, especially after waiting 1 (or 10) years! Seven people have reported breaking their PT2 in some way. We replaced each one (for free) - we know how rough this would feel after such a long wait

It's the best.

New Podcast Episode: Security Now: A Browser AI API? End of Bug Bounties? with Steve Gibson, @leolaporte.me

I have an announcement! 🏫 I’ve just taken a handful of lessons from my new course and made them public, 100% free. You don’t even have to register for anything. 😄 I call it the Whimsical Animation Open House. The doors are open until the launch sale ends, early next week. ✨

I think everyone who thinks that it is no longer necessary to understand software engineering principles because of AI should spend a few minutes every day browsing /r/vibecoding. It's so so clear that technical skills are still worthwhile.

✨ I just released a new (free!) tool for creating custom Bézier curves! courses.joshwcomeau.com/tools/bezier It has one special feature that I haven’t seen anywhere else, and it allows us to do something pretty cool. 🧵

✨ Working on a blog post about one of my absolute favourite modern CSS features, `animation-timeline`. It includes this nifty demo:

Whimsical Animations launches on Monday and I’m already getting the pre-launch jitters. 😂 I really think this is my best course. Excited to finally get it published! ✨

🌸 I just expanded the “Open House” with two lessons from The Joy of React! This means that four lessons from my two flagship courses are currently publicly available, no registration or anything required. 😄 If you’ve been curious about what my courses are like, now’s your chance to find out. ✨

No it doesn’t. Being an asshole isn’t ideological diversity, it’s just edgelording. Wanting livable wages, healthcare, peace, kindness-those are all supposed to be 99% agreeable stuff. Folks just want to live their lives and occasionally get Friday’s off work. These don’t require a devils advocate.

I remember when 18F was created. I was a contractor at Department of State and one of few developers part of redesigning the US Embassy websites. They had a heavy influence on the work we did at the time. Thank you all for your service and I'm so sorry this happened...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

🎉 Introducing my upcoming third course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you how to build top-tier animations and interactions using a variety of techniques. ✨ You can join the waitlist on the course’s brand-new site, which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve built in quite some time:

I let my current manager know this as often as I can remember to do this.

Wow I just loved this talk from Hanselman! youtu.be/KqhhaMgbGhU I learned to - create a VHD from Disk Mgmt 😮 - build a container from a csproj 😎 - switch Docker to containerd 🆗 - build a WASI container! 🤯 Thanks @scott.hanselman.com! 👏

I wonder if y’all realize what’s happening in Canada now? Everyone I know is figuring out how we can support each other, and make sure none of our money goes to the US. It’s a weird mix of patriotism and vengeance. So far, I’ve diverted >$3000 that would’ve gone to the US over the next year.

Day 1 on the Elastic booth at #ndclondon talking all things #elasticsearch #kibana #elk. Excited to see @stevejgordon.bsky.social's talk later. Not a bad view here either. 😊 If you're around come and say hi 👋

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.
