My job as a guy who has officially Seen Some Shit in my professional career is now to show up and say "yes yes nice workaround but have we tried not having this problem" and then showing what not having the problem looks like. I can't imagine this is popular but by god is it needed

The recent podcast from @syntax.fm finally kinda made me understand the basics of the AT protocol and why it's so cool.

How are people managing the tension between wanting to share & open-source their code, and avoiding AI just scraping and stealing it?

i write code manually cause it’s fun and i don’t want AI to take that skill away from me

My new blog post on the advantages of learning frameworks other than React is up now! leekeh.com/blog/beyond-...

Why frontend developers should learn more than just React - leekeh

What can we learn from studying other frameworks, and what are we missing out on if we don't?

For whatever godforsaken reason I still _care_. The web started as a craft, and still can be. And when it is built as such, it shines. That said, it is increasingly more difficult to live in hope. I don’t blame or fault the people who exit. Unfortunately, this is the only game I know.

TIL WebKit renders SVG filters directly on the CPU. So if you use SVG filters to create effects on your page (like a squiggle effect...), it can massively slow down the responsiveness of your page. Other browsers use GPU acceleration.

I redesigned my personal site to look like an old operating system, but made it accessible, responsive, fully interactive, and progressively enhanced. Wrote a lil’ blog post about it. More coming soon ✌️ leekeh.com/blog/hello-world

Want to test your accessibility knowledge? @davedavies.dev built this free accessibility quiz to help you. You get 128 hand written questions across WCAG 2.2, ARIA, semantic HTML and contrast. And for each, an explanation for each answer a11y.quest/

Some difficult things are actually just poorly designed

Is it just me or is the word "whimsical" starting to be (over)used for everything

So do I go for Codeberg or Tangled or both?

I think the greatest benefit AI has given me is getting me out of the brainstorming phase when I start overthinking projects. I'd rather start building something sloppy and spend a bunch of time fixing issues later, than get stuck in my head on all the different things to consider before building.

Love seeing an alternative style on a webshop 🫶

i know it seems bleak. but people are making and sharing cool, fun, and free things on the web in 2026. you just gotta get outside the walled gardens

When you think about it, well-written AI SKILL.md files can be a great resource for condensed information on a specific topic. We're basically just forcing ourselves to write great documentation 🤠

every now and then i log back into tumblr and find a different world

blog post: you need to use this HTML feature yesterday!! IT's so semantic and beautiful!! Get rid of all you custom code!! end of the post: Actually, there is no support in Firefox or Safari YET, you need to use polyfills, screen-reader support is limited, BUT just give it time 🙏

People treating LinkedIn like Facebook make me feel like they need to incorporate work into everything they do.

why trouble thyself with CSS-in-JS when you could have a little walk-in-the-wilderness. a little peace-in-your-heart. why waste thy hours comparing runtime environments when you could be spending time running in the environment

I'm deleting my Telegram account. Too much spam, and having to pay to block incoming messages from non-contacts is hostile UI and frankly against what I thought the app stood for.

When browsing public domain, I somehow always run into this picture from the Amundsen south pole expedition.

Playing Sims 2 music while cooking gives an elite feeling I didn't know I needed

There are so many cool characters in Unicode

Another day of trying to convince people to not use xstate

My side project keeps getting bigger in scope, but I'm trying to enjoy the ride. If it ends up going nowhere at least I learned something.
