Preventing WMDs, “god is in our side”… it’s basically the lega-sequel to the Iraq war at this point.
Somehow the image of people dancing to AI-generated music and AI-generated visuals feels really dystopian..
Japanese banking sites all implement this great emergency security feature that logs you out and wipes all current session information with the press of a single button. It's called the バックボタン
Opening Facebook is always a weird experience. Half the posts are from people I don't even follow, and the other half I do follow–but I completely forgot who they are…
The biggest selling point for autonomous military AI: it can commit war crimes and no one from the military has to go to jail! Think of the possibilities!
Somehow "we'd be delighted to have the Department of War use our AI for spying and killing, but please make sure it's properly supervised while doing so!" has become the "moral" position. The bar is on the floor…
I think it's just how Radix tooltips work actually: www.radix-ui.com/primitives/d...
this was in response to me saying:
> if your values are aligned with the general right-wing ethos that is now part of the platform then at least it's an active choice. But if you're there purely out of passiveness then I would hope that I can be the nudge that finally pushes you to leave for good
This seems like the best-case scenario for AI-assisted coding:
1. Experienced engineer leading the project
2. Well-defined problem
3. Lots of existing documentation and tests

If now is not the time to become politically active (if you can even call it that…), then when?
A response to me suggesting people move to Bluesky in the latest State of React email:
> I’m genuinely concerned that you are using this mailing list to forward your personal political agenda.
I'm actually concerned at how many people are *not* using their platform to "forward a political agenda"
I’ll check
I was thinking more about something like a PR campaign where prominent voices in the community would all announce they're moving to Bluesky all at once on the same day.
i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)
you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

There still such a big part of the front end community on X… I wonder how we could push more people to come over here.
what about newsletters announcements? it's Polypane making an announcement, but the announcement is written by Kilian… so which takes priority?
I know it's dumb but I'm honestly worried that if I use "I" people will realize that I'm just one guy in a trench coat, metaphorically speaking
Is it weird that as a solo entrepreneur, I never know if I should use "I" or "we" as a pronoun in official communications? As in "I'm excited to introduce a new feature" or "we just published xyz…"
The American people demand that rich, corrupt elites whose unbridled greed, rampant sex crimes and blatant lawbreaking have gone unpunished for decades be brought to justice!
Or else elected president, either one really!
⚠️ State of React survey results are live! I just went through the results, and there’s *a ton* of interesting stuff in here.
Sharing my highlights in this thread. 🧵
Does @astro.build make sense for a pure-React static site like 2025.stateofjs.com (which does include a lot of client-side interactivity)? Or do you lose its benefits if you don't use .astro files?
All my AI-related productivity gains come from me tricking myself into writing code by debugging the stuff ChatGPT produces…
I’ll fix the URL. And sometimes people forget something is already mentioned in the survey and fill it out again in the freeform questions
fixed it, and also changed the cutoff to 5 so that more libraries appear in the chart itself:
2025.stateofreact.com/en-US/librar...
oh good! and I'll try to fix the "other answers" thing too
Honored to write the conclusion for the State of React 2025 survey ☺️
Shared some reflections on the past year in React and where things might be heading next. Thanks for the opportunity!
The 2025 State of React survey results are now available! 2025.stateofreact.com/en-US
Thanks to @aurorascharff.no for providing a great conclusion.
Polypane 28 is here!
This first release of 2026 comes with plenty of improvements to Projects, the new Environments feature prevents you from confusing production for localhost, the Elements panel is faster and more powerful than ever, and it now runs on Chromium 146.

iOS just lost the 500 tabs I’ve had open for years now… I don’t know if I should be angry or relieved.
