On one end, the Anthropic team is a massive user of AI to write code (80%+ of all code deployed is written by Claude Code). They ship amazingly fast.

On the other hand, seeing these beyond terrible reliability numbers suggests there might be a downside to all this speed:

So the headlines in the UK is 8 people have being killed in Israel.

Ignoring over 140 school children killed yesterday by Israels bombing.

I could not be more disgusted than I am by Western media.

France, Germany and UK urge Iran to ‘negotiate solution’ after attack Rare joint statement from leaders of European nations makes clear they did not participate in US-Israeli strikes

It's official. Europe's leaders have crossed the thin red line into criminal insanity. "France, Germany and the UK condemn Iranian attacks"

No war. No war. No war. No illegal fucking war. No war, period. We have got to stop.

I sure could go for impeaching and convicting the president right about now.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership

Curating and linking 20,000 (!) articles and videos in the 4.5 years since starting Frontend Dogma—

I’m pretty happy about the outcome and excited to keep mapping the world of web development and design ✌️

Rubio is now dispensing with the propaganda, and in the process reveals the reality... that the West is doubling down on imperialism, once again with openly fascist ideology, and they recognize the only real force that has ever held them in check: socialist and anti-colonial movements.

AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

Interesting study on the effectiveness of AGENTS.md:

“[…] developer-provided files only marginally improve performance compared to omitting them entirely […], while LLM-generated context files have a small negative effect on agent performance […].”

Did you also know that Image Guard is easy to automate, to ensure no needlessly large images in a codebase? (This comes before and speeds up micro-optimization.)

I developed this at a former org and have since optimized it further:

After looking at the minifier benchmarks landscape with Kirill Maltsev (htmlnano), I’ve set up a new repo to collaborate on benchmarks.

Adding samples and minification cases, deltas and averages already improved the picture.
