A beautiful way to articulate the simple luxuries we often take for granted. Going to express my gratitude for the times we live by enjoying a glass of clean drinking water and listening to my favorite song! ordinaryabundance.com

A walk through a modern apartment, through the eyes of the people for whom everything in it was new.

Really resonated with this article from @nolanlawson.com Worth a read if you've felt some sadness from the diminished art of coding. Arts I've been trying lately: writing creative nonfiction, photography, cooking (with lots of spices) nolanlawson.com/2026/03/22/t...

The diminished art of coding

Programming is an art. It’s less like fine art or music and closer to architecture or carpentry – combining form and function – but it is an art. If you don’t believe me, consider code …

One of the most fun things in life is doing things you don’t know how to do (yet).

15 years + 3,000 alums later, what started as a 6-person experiment is now a community of curious, kind programmers: engineers, artists, scientists, hobbyists, all united by a love of programming. If 6 or 12 weeks to focus on what truly interests you sounds appealing, apply! www.recurse.com/apply

Oh, herdr.dev how you've brought sanity to my agentic madness. Highly recommend checking out this tool if you are feeling the parallel overwhelm of juggling multiple agents.

Herdr: one terminal for the whole herd

To coding agents what tmux is to terminals. Runs where your agents run: close the laptop, ssh from anywhere, nothing dies.

Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps

The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can...

Why does AI suck at front-end? 🗑️ trained on garbage 👀 it can't see ❓ it doesn't know why 🏞️ no environmental control there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion ⤷ nerdy.dev/why-ai-sucks...

Show up for what’s happening, appreciate the spectacle of it, and go with the flow.

What if a signal on the server could just be a signal on the client? Wrote about mixed-signals by @developit.dev - a library that reflects server-side Preact Signals to clients in real-time. No fetch calls, no deserialization, no cache invalidation. Just signals on both sides of the wire.

Bridging the Server-Client Boundary with Signals

How mixed-signals turns server-side Preact Signals into real-time shared state across clients, and what that can look like in tech like Cloudflare Durable Objects

A year in with @zed.dev Best parts of Sublime, VS Code, and Neovim without the extension bloat or the config rabbit holes. Anyone else not going back?

taste is a study of nuance, it requires slowing down

After a 6-week improv class, I realized that life is all just one, big continuous improv theater. A framing I like, since it adds a bit a sense of play. Shakespeare was close. I'd just "yes and" his statement to "all the world's an improv stage".

Love this stack—scalable and simple! Going to give it a whirl for my next project. Thanks for sharing 🚀

This is going to be a HUGE help for developing the Polaris Web Components. We used adopted style sheets heavily for applying component styles 🙌

Bramus@bram.us · 10mo ago

New in Chrome DevTools in Chrome 144: we now show the Adopted Style Sheets in the Elements tree.

I always learn something new just by participating in the State of JavaScript survey! Almost like a mini-reflection on what tools/APIs you are reaching for the most 🛠 stateofjs.com/en-US

So much good stuff in here! I’m excited to see what the areas of potential focus are 😄
