Blink: Intent to Prototype: CSS mixins

I don't know how many ways to say this but - stop looking at model performance - it's almost all in the harness - decent harness can easily outclass top model evidence item #71625: developer.nvidia.com/blog/create-...

Create a LangChain Deep Agents Harness Profile for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra to Improve Performance | NVIDIA Technical Blog

Agentic systems often face a trade-off between accuracy and cost. The highest-performing proprietary frontier models and harnesses provide top accuracy but are expensive. Fine-tuning offers one way…

Hi! I'm working on a new HTML feature: filterable select There are two proposed API shapes so far: 1. Nesting <input> in <select> 2. Sibling <input> for listbox <select> w/id ref Option 1 is more ergonomic, but would break selects in older browsers Thoughts? (Both currently in Canary w/flag)

As a design system leader, you have to continuously prove the value you provide. But you also need the support of leaders who truly believe in your autonomy and intrinsic value of your system.

When I say that modularity & composability are now crucial as large, coupled codebases consume more context, I see raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, they are constantly running out of tokens while I haven't hit a usage limit in months. If you think architecture no longer matters, joke’s on you.

🚀 Last week my team released FASTElement v3. Tons to say but one small bit I want to highlight is: it's smaller! A before/after for a basic FASTElement (with common features like `attr`, `html`, `css`)... v2.10.5 → 63.6 kB (19.3 kB gzip) v3.0.0 → 45.5 kB (13.9 kB gzip) bundlejs.com?q=%40microso...

🎉 Fluent Web Components v3.0.0 is published! (More compelling details about this huge milestone will be shared in the coming days, from folks who are better at making announcements than me) web-components.fluentui.dev

As @una.im just mentioned in her #cssday talk, the CSS WG recently resolved to insert a ⓘ after EVERY SINGLE INTEREST INVOKER on touchscreens. Here’s a mock of what this would look like for bsky. This is the issue to let the CSS WG know what you think: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

I think AI is the best opening we've ever had to bring our engineering values to the mainstream, instead of the top single-digit-percent of teams it's always been. But nondeterminism will take more engineering discipline. Not less. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-demands...

AI demands more engineering discipline. Not less

If you lived through the shift from handcrafted server pets to immutable infrastructure, you should sense something oddly familiar about what's happening now.

A diagram with various nodes and connectors? Yes, doable with pure CSS. Another demo powered by modern features! css-tip.com/node-connect... Regardless of the node's position, the connectors will adjust their shape and position for optimal connection 👀 Drag the elements and see the magic 🪄

Nice result in @zeroheight.com's 2026 Design Systems Report: report.zeroheight.com#your-tools Web components are the second-most used "framework" among the respondents. This makes sense: if you build web components you support all the frameworks. Otherwise, you'd probably only support React.

Finally solving the tooltip arrow usecase with a new CSS property called border-shape ⚠️ WIP early-stage API, timeline TBD, more info coming soon But it brings a lil tear to my eye to see this working, border & all 🥲 This demo uses anchored container queries + border-shape + a little animation

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when it comes to web performance, if you're measuring in seconds, you're admitting defeat.
