LLM's are helpful because they're trained on years of high quality educational material and forums where people helped each other. People aren't visiting forums or paying for educational content anymore because of LLM's. The well isn't going to magically fill itself in perpetuity.
You know how IDEs give you a red squiggly underline if you use a variable that hasn't been defined? I want the same thing for writing prose. Red underline if you refer to a non-obvious concept that hasn't previously been defined in the text.
This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams. Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th. flic.kr/p/2s6BABn
we don't talk enough about how cool the color-interpolation-method is in CSS gradients all of these slices have the same gradient: linear-gradient(#00ffff 0%, #ff00ff 100%) each one is just using a different colour interpolation
bless the CSS people. my tech news feed is all AI but the CSS people are still styling and just doing their thing because its fun and they love it and they make neat things. my heroes.
You CSS nerds spent years saying stuff like "CSS is a programming language!" Just look at what you've done. Are you happy now? Is this the world you wanted for your children? infosecwriteups.com/they-hacked-...

jake@yetanotheruseless.com · 6mo agoWow we need to clone @grimalkina.bsky.social. My students (and, *ahem*... I) would've loved this when I was teaching them how to use coding agents and we talked about "the Illusion of Learning" and how I... didn't know how to solve it, other than "make sure to _think_ hard, which *hurts* your head"
There are some great people, @yanthomas.dev included, looking for their next adventure! Oh hey, and me included, too! I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!
Yan@yanthomas.dev · 7mo agoThe part of the team that worked full-time under The Astro Technology company did join Cloudflare -- and we are all happy for them! But, the overall Astro team is bigger: some of us worked as contractors or voluntarily, and currently depend on the very hard-to-get OSS sponsorships.

Canadians! You can now vote for the Canadian Word of the Year! (If we had the option to choose a Canadian WOTY in French as well, I'd suggest the gender-neutral pronoun "iel" which has been in the news a lot in Quebec this year, but probably not applicable since this is an English dictionary)
Canadian English Dictionary@canadiandictionary.bsky.social · 8mo ago2025 has been an eventful year for Canada's identity. To commemorate the year, The Society for Canadian English is choosing a 2025 word of the year (CWOTY), based on the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles.

Exciting!! Also I need "hidey bar" to be a technical term from the spec pls
Bramus@bram.us · 10mo agoThere’s a new type of CSS scroll-state query coming: “scrolled”. This one remembers the last direction you scrolled into, which you can use to build “hidey bars”: when scrolling down (or having scrolled down), the hidey bar hides itself. When then scrolling back up, the hidey bar reveals itself.
I shared this earlier because I think it is so funny but then I also thought to myself, what advice would I (a learning scientist by background, married to someone who teaches programming) actually give a developer who feels bad reading this? How can you avoid writing this? A few tips:

***Use the whole language***
Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam.codes · 11mo agoThere's one CSS 'rule' I always come back to – the heart of what I'm calling Poetic CSS: What are we trying to express, and how clearly can we express it? There's no best unit, best layout mode, or best selectors – only the ones that express our goals most clearly. Use the whole language. #CSS

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like “check out this dancing turtle I made out of divs 🥰”

It has goth confetti when you complete a snack??! 😍
Sam Rose@samwho.dev · last yr.I’ve been using apps.apple.com/gb/app/short... recently to exercise every day while waiting for CI and stuff. It’s a wonderful little app. I can’t believe it’s free, has no ads, isn’t selling me anything. A lovely little anomaly in an industry full of grift.
Seeing as yesterday's article popped off a bit, I woke up this morning and decided to turn it into a video. The kids yearn for the videos, after all.
