Yeah and that’s fine, I’m including that when I say “produce work with LLMs.” I have no idea why anyone would limit themselves to not looking at or writing any of the code themselves. Same way I wouldn’t expect anyone to paint a room with just a roller.

tech literacy should be part of the curriculum in today's day and age, especially around what the internet is, how it's built, and the common bugs/outage reasons. no one needs to know how to code even, just like how i know about the water cycle without knowing the chemical minutiae of the reactions

I always loved this type of work! Some of my colleagues dreaded it, and enjoyed building exciting new features more. But I do think that you level up as a developer *precisely* because you do this kind of work. Which patterns scale, which don't. What is testable, what isn't.

what commenters genuinely don’t seem to understand is that you can absolutely produce high quality work with agentic llms if you have good engineering judgement, know how to wield them, and maintain a strict code review culture.

This is something that surprises me. Not that you _can_ produce excellent work with LLMs, but that so many people _aren’t_. From my experience it’s quite easy to make good stuff with LLMs, my best guess as to why people don’t is that they’re having too much fun going fast.

One of the fun things about playing with the new HTML-in-Canvas API is that it lets me revisit all sorts of cool ideas I’ve seen in the past and wished I could implement on native elements. Like this one, based on Paola Demichelis article from about a year ago. (Links 👇)

Want to start writing tests but no idea how to get started? The @vitest.dev docs now have a Learn section that covers evergreen concepts (matchers, tests, dealing with async code, mocks, ...) and also current topics like writing good tests with AI! Time to get started 🎉

One of the hardest things to get across to most software people with great intentions is *how strong defaults are* and how tired everyone else is of dorking around trying to get things to work, but this understanding is the thing that made Apple, for all its many flaws, such a giant.

CSS nesting is now Baseline 🎉 Write nested selectors directly in CSS — just like Sass, but natively. .card { color: black; &:hover { color: blue; } .title { font-weight: bold; } } No preprocessor needed. Learn more 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

My favorite #CSS additions are often the simple ones that make a big difference (in UX or DX), and the light-dark() function adding support for images is now one of them 🙌🏻 www.bram.us/2026/03/19/m... @bram.us

The last 50k have gone so incredibly slowly I haven't been paying that much attention to the number until somewhat recently. I also generally don't care about things like this, but suddenly I'm sort of nervous for some reason 😅 Will do a stream on Monday to celebrate 😊

This is a good principle for design in general: When users tell you there's a problem, they are usually right. When users tell you how to fix it, they are usually wrong. (bonus: if you replace "user" with "stakeholder" this still applies)

Recently I've seen recurring mentions of "IBM research" that shows "fixing accessibility bugs post-launch is 25x to 100x more expensive" That's *absolutely fantastic* marketing material, so I wanted to get in on that. First, I decided to look for the actual research. You know where this is going.

This got me riled up enough to make a video about why it might feel like CSS is now doing things that JS should be doing, but really, these modern features are allowing us to use CSS for what it should be used for, instead of hacking solutions with JS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTCJ...

No splitting text into letters, no text duplication. This is a single element and #SVG #filter magic.

Honestly this comment gives the whole game away. It was never about what CSS is; it was about creating and enforcing programmer classism. "CSS isn't a programming language" seamlessly morphs into a new argument because it was only ever a dog whistle wrapper to launder the real argument in anyway.

Most comments are just impressed, but there was a small wave of people complaining about how CSS shouldn't be able to do this, and that it should be for *styling* only (emphasis theirs). The thing is... all this simply opens the doors to styling in more robust ways. youtu.be/Y-3tPDZCk2o
