Not even going to comment on how crypto people keep pushing the idea of “stablecoins as payments” use case: completely ignoring the reason anyone sensible won’t stop using credit cards: Because credit cards offer chargebacks, and pay perks. Crypto offers neither and is a risk

Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.

Did you guys notice how quickly we got to okaying discrimination against women, people of color and LGBTQA+ people, Christi-fascists in the government, erasure of public health, not being able to trust government statistics, autocratic use of power and undermining elections?
Transmisogyny is just this bizarre clusterfuck where people treat you like a woman, in that they talk over you, call you overly emotional, sexualise you, judge you harshly on how well you embody femininity, disbelieve you when you say you've been mistreated, all the while insisting that you're a man
a web that isn't human-first is a web I want nothing to do with. I'm not going to "optimize the graph" of assertions, or whatever. I'm not a content farm for your algorithm. i'm here to build real relationships with real people - and if that's not what the web is for anymore, I'll be somewhere else.

Hi all! 👋 I was laid off and am looking for my next senior front end developer role. I have 19+ years of experience working with small agencies and Fortune 500 companies and focus on writing clean, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Resume: aubreysambor.com/resume/ Leads/reposts appreciated!
Create a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without layout shift! How? Use a pseudo element with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px` Demo to play with: codepen.io/una/pen/gbaWdmy (Tip from dmytro on X, who I can't find on Bsky: x.com/pqoqubbw/sta...)

I would like this to be true. "Instead of reaching for frameworks by default, more teams are treating HTML and CSS as first-class citizens again, leaning on JavaScript only when it genuinely enhances the experience. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a calculated correction." thenewstack.io/html-first-f...

Instead of starting with a framework, smart frontend developers now begin with HTML and enhance it progressively with JavaScript.

Dear CSS overloads, this should be possible _without_ JavaScript: growfield.js.org Indeed, it was … sort of around 19 years ago remysharp.com/2006/11/27/a... (actually, this is the input element, I can't remember if it worked on textarea).

“See the person, not the disability” is not the statement of solidarity that some think it is. There’s nothing wrong with seeing disability. The problem is the default negative connotation that is placed on disability. The problem is ableism. #DisabilityPrideMonth
