I haven't use Cursor for more than half year (Sublime Text is brilliant), I've installed its newest version and it still takes so much memory...

SVG is so interesting. It has attributes use kebab case, such as `stroke-width`, `stroke-dasharray`; it also has camel case attributes, such as `viewBox` and `pathLength`.

As a non-native English speaker, I prefer to use "Let’s dive in!” or "Buckle up!”, because they sound more authentic. But according to Wikipedia, those phrases are signs of AI writing. 😅 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

Many dark-mode websites have poor color contrast, and they don’t seem to care.

I’ve remapped my keyboard, now I cannot type… 😅

No... What's happened to Antigravity? I really liked it before. It's my 2nd favorite IDE. (The 1st one is Sublime Text.)

Testing German learning resources with Gemma, the result of Gemma 3 is better than Gemma 4. Interesting. I'm not sure if it's because Gemma 4 is "overthinking".

I’m really bad at wrapping up a blog post.🥲

AI is really bad at solving CSS problems.

Spend half a day setting up Sublime Text. So fast, so light, it only takes 100mb memory. Perfect!

Why not just type a few words to commit changes to Git directly, instead of typing a few words to let an AI agent spend some tokens to commit the changes?

Although automating Git workflow with AI is efficient and cool, I tend to avoid it; otherwise, I’d forget how to use Git altogether. 😅

I just dedicated 2 hours to refactoring my setup to a better practice: migrating import sorting to ESLint, rather than Prettier, which I'm now using exclusively for code formatting.

I feel very happy whenever I convert a static design into an interactive web page.

I don't have opinions on whether we should use TailwindCSS or vanilla CSS; I can work with either of them (or other styling methods) based on the team's preference. But I think knowing and being good at vanilla CSS is important because CSS is fun and powerful.

I think I'll keep using light theme in my IDE for a while.

I used to feel the "syntax sugars" in Vue.js was too complex for me, I preferred React.js with its verbose JavaScript/JSX way. But with some years' programming experience, I'm comfortable with Vue now.

I'm Learning Vue.js and encountering something weird: with TailwindCSS, even with `onMounted`, the page always reloads.🤨

Three years ago when I started to learn programming, "Eloquent JavaScript" was too hard for me to understand. By then it’s not a book which can teach me the knowledge. I found other ways. Now I revisit this book, I can get it and it help me understanding JS better.

⚛️📝 New on Overreacted: React for Two Computers

Can't help checking the tech stack behind every website I visit, even when I'm just trying to learn a new language or stalk my favorite celebs online...

Turns out reading in an RSS reader is very helpful. I can concentrate for a longer time.

Two years after building my friend's portfolio with Astro and TinaCMS, and now we can't add new content and have no error logs. (She hasn't posted for a while.) Should I rebuild using the latest versions of both? The current site is broken with no clear cause.

Can't believe that it was learning to make video games with JavaScript that finally made Object-oriented programming click for me!😅

Wow! Bluesky can show the open graph card now. Love it.

I was worried about SkyPorch's accessibility, especially how the screen reader would read that sentence of the typewriter animation. Turns out it's awful. So yesterday, I fixed the a11y issues and wrote about the process; here's the blog post: www.cyishere.dev/blog/a11y-of...

Since April 24th is JS Naked Day, I refined our landing page to ensure it works perfectly without JavaScript.✌️ skyporch.co

I've been writing styled-components for some years. The other day, I wrote some nesting CSS like the one in the image out of habit, but I was writing CSS modules, and it still works! It turns out vanilla CSS also supports this kind of nesting. So cool.

I’m so glad that I finally get a better sense of Next.js 14, the server actions, using server function, and middleware.

`next/image` is SO tricky…
