Quality now depends on the constraints you set around your agents.

A lot of the educators I admire in the frontend web space seem to be either bowing out or dialing back their efforts: Axel Rauschmayer, Salma Alam-Naylor, Josh W. Comeau, to name a few. Other well-known luminaries like Kent C. Dodds, Addy Osmani, Rachel Nabors, and Lydia Hallie have pivoted from talking about frontend development…

Setting a rotation key on your atproto (Bluesky, Eurosky, etc) account means you can recover it even if the account provider shuts down.

Reach for ogygia on content-heavy or mostly-static pages with pockets of interactivity — marketing, docs, blogs, dashboards, storefronts. Anywhere you feel you are shipping a whole framework to run one widget. If your page is a single large interactive app, plain SvelteKit with csr = true is the simpler tool — and ogygia coexists with those pages route by route.

A static code-health checker for SvelteKit — SEO, Performance, Correctness, Security, and Architecture, from source.

I built this action after it started gaining traction on Bluesky. Instead of manually creating the decentralized records for each new blog post, I automated the whole thing. When I merge a pull request adding a new blog post on this website, the action detects the new file, creates a site.standard.document record on the AT Protocol network, and opens a pull request to update the post's frontmatter with the record URI. Once merged, the blog post renders a link meta tag, enabling the Standard.Site preview card on Bluesky.

A lot of people seem convinced that the point of AI coding is to write low-quality code as fast as possible. Spew out barely-passable slop, open massive PRs, and merge them unvetted. Ship it! But the thing is, LLMs are very flexible. And you can use them just as effectively to write high-quality code more…

Somewhere between 'ask Claude for a quick opinion' and 'Claude is writing our Jira tickets,' we lost the plot. AI agents are brilliant implementers. They're also confidently wrong about every decision that matters. And when it all falls over, they won't be the ones carrying the bag.

I really dislike Apple’s choice to clutter macOS Tahoe’s menus with icons. It makes menus hard to scan, and a bunch of the icons Apple has chosen make no sense and are inconsistent between system applications. Steve Troughton-Smith is my hero for finding a Terminal command to disable them: Here’s one for the icons-in-menus haters […]
