What if the whole AI industry is a weird flex from the accessibility community to ensure everyone builds semantic and accessible websites? 🤔
The way to make your website “AI ready” is still the same work we’ve been doing for years: robust hierarchy, semantics, and accessible design systems.
Prop For That 📣 An a-la-carte #JS library for #CSS developers that writes meaningful realtime CSS variables to an element: - value of an input - pointer position - size of scrollbar(s) - colors in an image/video - element's visibility - tons more… nerdy.dev/prop-for-that

centralised design system components that rely on a specific front-end framework has always felt like such an anti-pattern. framework lock-in from day one is wild. i'm sure i'm missing something but switching to framework-agnostic web components has been so freeing.

That’s one way to get all your users over to the competition. Did I mention Zed already? 😃
Microsoft figured out a way to upset all the VS Code users: Add a comment to commits that says "co-authored by copilot" even when the feature is not used. github.com/microsoft/vs...
Zed is 1.0 🎉 Since the beginning of this year I’ve switched from VSCode to Zed and never looked back. Such a fast and clean editor. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0

Can someone make me some merch that says “fund your design system” so I can rest my voice?
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." — Frank Herbert, Dune
Been thinking about the Web platform & it's pretty incredible what #CSS can do now compared to what it did when I started in this field 14 years ago. We went from having too little to having almost too much (if you think how many of the new features you use day to day) Imagine where we'll go next!
This hits home “even if you can ignore the environmental impact, the job losses, the ethics, the theft of intellectual property... how sad that we let AI rob us of the simple human joy of learning, of creating, of growing” — @kestr.al

I often see the word 'kerning' used incorrectly by CSS heads when the term they're actually looking for to describe letter spacing is 'tracking'. Let me explain using CSS terminology! Tracking is the same as gap in flex layouts; consistent spacing applied across the entire text. But what if... 🧵
