I played around with Volar yesterday evening. It is ridiculously impressive. They haven’t launched, but they are quietly building the most impressive set of language service tools I have ever seen since VSCode itself. volarjs.github.io

✺ announcing the IYK autograph module ✺ you can now autograph IYK-powered items by simply tapping your phone and signing with your finger the autograph lives permanently with the item's digital record and thus becomes a part of the item's history

I used to know this, and now I don’t. Could someone explain to me why Stitches and similar CSS-in-JS libraries went kaput because of changes to React?

Unfortunately and unexpectedly got the news this morning that I have been part of a big layoff. Officially looking for a job. If someone is looking for a staff/senior engineer focused on frontend, remote/NYC please get in touch or send them my way. RTs for reach appreciated.

Semantic HTML is the foundation of the inclusive Web. Learn HTML. If you develop websites or web applications, learn HTML. Whether you’re a front-end or a back-end dev, and no matter what framework you use, learn HTML. And get good at it. HTML is great.

📝 Safari on visionOS ignores `:hover` rules and provide its own hover effects on “interactive regions” which it deduces by the markup. In other words: semantic, accessible HTML is being relied on by the most advanced consumer AR/VR device in 2023. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/thoughts-

Wow! Okay, passing it on. This seems pretty important.

One thing I wish someone told me: fitness, the kind that is substantial for my working body, takes years. (Not days or weeks) I’ve been focusing on it since early 2020 and I can really feel the difference in even my mental capacity since embedding a practice in my life.

Markup is amazing. HTML, JSX, all those things. I can use it like a canvas: <Flex>, <p class="text-lg">, or <div style="...">. I can use it like an inventory: <ul><li>, <article>, or <dialog>. I can mix & match the mental models; make it alone or with others. It is cool stuff.

Felt like a calm time to share that Tailwind genuinely helps people, and I am so genuinely glad for that. Dev is hard. I expect all of the folks who make it, use it, or critique it are all imperfect. In my limited experience, most of them are pretty wonderful. I love you is all.

This will be a huge boon for the entire ecosystem. Lightning delivers instant benefits of speed, but I also expect the Vite integration means CSS will be treated as an ever more equally powered module. One way or by one name or another, all roads lead to Parcel.
