My design partners are fixated on keeping content visible behind the liquid glass iOS URL bar. I understand it looks more polished than a plain background, but the amount of effort required to make it work properly is making me lose my mind

When working on heavy animations or pages transitions, start testing on Safari instead of Chrome. If there is no frame drop on Safari, you can be almost sure there won't be on Chrome. Not the same story going the other side.

I'm thinking about completely separating styles for desktop and styles for mobile. The QA process is so hard when you tweak something for desktop then realize you broke the mobile layout...

I finally stopped using experimental APIs in my client projects. I think I'm getting old.

I am looking for a tool that can generates quotations for potential clients. Something useful for small web agencies. Is there such a thing?

I guess being from Argentina and having a German sounding name is a dead giveaway

I'm glad that LLMs always think that I am absolutely right. If only it was true.

Patiently waiting for the next hyped thing.

Astro made me a better developer. Writing simple script tags for interactivity didn't make me forget the quirks of React. I got a call for a Next project I delivered last year, and I jumped back and did the task fast and easy, even if I've been away from a React codebase for a while now.

Hey, sharing some side work with you all 🙂 I extended two starter themes using @astro.build. I mainly added @sanity.io for content management and some e-commerce capabilities. Check out the GitHub repos: github.com/jazsouf/sani... github.com/jazsouf/astr...

Working as a freelance web developer, you're at the end of a long chain of decisions made by other people. When a change needs to be made, you can feel the whiplash of that chain sometimes.

A swim. Cold water sending shivers down my back. The hot sun warming my face. A light breeze bringing equilibrium. It was a nice day outside.

Rigged up a thing so my kid can change the color of her bedroom using her marker set!

Back in Morocco to visit family. Had a good run at the beach. Life’s good.

Recently, I have been working with Astro and I greatly appreciate the DX and freedom from the React developer thinking. The hardest thing about React, is not, to write React, but to write code that needs to run outside of React.

I have been doing Calisthenics at a gym for two months now, and my body still aches after every session! I enjoy the workout better than just lifting weights though!

Some people read Atlas Shrugged and think the hero is a role model, others think it’s a cautionary tale.

Astro.js should have been named Astronot.js 🧑‍🚀 Aside from the joke about no javascript by default, when looking for answers on search engines, I would get links to space stuff ✨ instead of horoscope scams 💩

I just realized 5173 reads as VITE...

Should your tech stack be political? As an independent developer, I am more inclined to say yes.

Got a copy of The Nature of Code. Read the intro and acknowledgments and am looking forward to dive into this. Thanks @shiffman.net!

'There was almost a utopian feeling to it': How StumbleUpon pioneered the way we use the internet

StumbleUpon, a tool that led users to random websites, had a stranglehold on millennials in the 2010s. Its influence echoes through everything we do online.

I've completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/10 Okey I did 10 of these, I will end it here for this year. The hardest one I found was day 6. See you next year, maybe I'll go for the whole 25 next time!
