just learned every major chinese app has its own custom markup language fork of HTML for writing websites: AXML & ACSS, WXML & WXSS, TTML & TTSS..
crazy how the web is just built on a completely different foundation there & websites dont really exist

Software orgs embracing AI tools have demonstrated something I've been saying for a very long time: you can't iterate from bad software to good software.
It's *physically* possible, but the context of the work prevents it. Instead of refining the product, managers demand more new feature releases.
We are so wildly unprepared as a species for computer programs that sound sentient. 😬
they should make a career that doesn’t burn you out
Context menu from Chrome DevTools showing options “Badge settings,” “Store as global variable,” and “Debug with AI,” with “Debug with AI” expanded to a submenu listing “Start a chat,” “Assess visibility,” and “Center element” against a light UI background.
Okay, frontend is officially solved. Thanks chrome devtools
That's a cool idea 💡
this year i'm going to write at least one print stylesheet 🖨️ (i've never written one before!)
⚠️ 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. 🧵
I love that the meeting agenda docs for TC39 have a code block at the top using Temporal that's like: "need to know when this meeting is in your time zone? Just paste this code block in a JS console".

This border-radius transition 🤌🏽
Believe it or not, it's just CSS.
I've been experimenting with an upcoming CSS feature called border-shape lately.
It's really cool what you can do with it: lots of practical applications + it opens a lot of doors for non-rectangular UIs!
Try it in Canary w/experimental web platform features on, & read more:
una.im/border-shape
Sleep + Clear roadmap will probably help morale and that's like an exponential, hockey-stick growth in the making!
over 80% are seeing no productivity gains from adopting AI
yet overwhelmingly they’re predicting productivity gains (though the expected lift is like 1%?)
I feel like there’s research showing that proper sleep, higher morale, and clear vision/roadmap have a FAR larger impact on productivity
Cut your Claude bill IN HALF with this ANCIENT SLEEPING technique.
want even more #CSS relative color knowledge?

if you're into color, this page I made in the Nerdy Notebook is pretty cool (hit that open all button and absorb)

Been thinking about the Web platform & it's pretty incredible what #CSS can do now compared to what it did when I started in this field 14 years ago.
We went from having too little to having almost too much (if you think how many of the new features you use day to day)
Imagine where we'll go next!
This, so much this!!! I had a nightmare once trying to implement such a drop-down and had to push against it

Client explaining spec: “Clicking the drop-down opens a product grid menu with pop-ups to choose colors.”
Me: “Wut.”
Technical pedantry is important in UI and digital accessibility work. As practitioners we have to translate lingo all the time.

Steve Jobs wasn't the best coder in the room. Neither is the person who just got promoted over you.
The best communicators aren't always the smartest engineers—they are the ones who make you feel something. Here is the difference explained:

Woo!
Invoker Commands feel like something the platform should have had decades ago. Comparing its functionality to how we traditionally have to toggle a dialog makes current practice seem straight-up absurd. dbushell.com/2026/02/12/d...
My first year at Replay was modernizing our own DevTools FE codebase. Since then, I've spent all my time building out our sophisticated React analysis backend and digging into React's internals.
I'd love to do conf talks and blog posts about this, but I feel like it's so niche there's no audience.

~7 years ago I started curating a list of Design Tokens resources on GitHub… today I launch something better.
An updated, tagged collection of 292+ articles on design tokens.

demanding deletion, warning about "misuse," threatening credibility damage, that is gatekeeping dressed up as quality control. It shuts down any kind of transparent, iterative sharing that actually builds healthy communities.
I appreciate how much the e18e folks try to collaborate with Tim here
