Some thoughts of mine that nobody asked for on the EU's fight with Apple and my worries related to Mythos and Fable. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/10/ga...

My amazing colleague Jen just dropped a walkthrough on building a document processing workflow I can't help but feel so proud watching it. So many people poured so much into this product, always feel special seeing products come out of the ground

DSLs are a bad idea because programmers are not good at designing programming languages. It’s like letting the nouveau riche spec their own mcmansion

It’s happening. Yarn 6 Preview is here 💫 Yes, we rewrote it in Rust 🦀⚡️ I'm incredibly excited for the future of our beloved package manager. See the benchmarks and plans in our latest post:

It's the advent of CVEs these days. Can't wait to see what's in store for Christmas!

This is a _fantastic_ read, the comparison with the open web makes it soooo clear. And you’ve got some great punchlines in it, it’s well worth reading it til the end

That’s what we do at @jitter.video! We have some physics based easings that can be exported as css thanks to linear, it’s pretty neat

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

That spiraling effect is 🧑‍🍳💋 I’m always genuinely amazed by how you can craft creative animations from basic motion primitives in Jitter.

Why I 🧡 the web. Go to this site: pointerpointer.com Move your cursor to some part of the screen and leave it there. Do it a few more times. Trust me. 😉

Really cool shader reveal effect by @arlindaliu.bsky.social. Technical blog post with all the previews is 🤌

As it happens Jitter is also ridiculously fun to build 🤓

Introducing: Infinite canvas 💫 Iterate faster, collaborate in real time, and scale your content across formats and languages with multiple artboards — all in one file. This is an entirely new way to animate. Available today. Try it now and learn more about today’s update 👉 jitter.video/changelog

New in Chrome DevTools: Skip irrelevant scripts in the Flame Chart! Debugging is faster and more actionable 🙏

If you're around and into motion design, you should definitely drop by! We're so lucky to have incredibly talented designers among our users, it's a great opportunity to meet cool people 🕶️ I'll also be there, event though I'm not as cool.

Everyone's now talking about Deepseek's latest model that was trained for millions of $$$. Explain to me why no one is mentioning Sky-T1 that was trained for $450 🤔 techcrunch.com/2025/01/11/r...

Trying to reproduce a flaky test failure feels a bit like shiny hunting, except you don't have a pretty looking 'mon at the end of the day

New this week: Curved paths 〰️ Your animations just got an upgrade! You can now move objects along a curved path in Jitter – perfect for adding personality, focus, or a little extra polish to your work.

please add figs

I work there! We’re always hiring, so if you’re into front-end and computer graphics, Jitter is a really cool place to work at! And we’re full remote ✌️

I've merged the original draft RTK Query "infinite query" external PR into a running integration branch so that we can iterate on it and still accept external contributions (such as fleshing out examples): github.com/reduxjs/redu... Still no ETA on release, but working on the code this weekend!

The fact that you have to create 4 different kind of resources in AWS _just_ to make a redirect from www to the naked domain work is kind of mind blowing. The upside is that I almost feel like a devOps now!

I bought the CSS for Javascript Developers course when it was released. It was delightful. @joshwcomeau.com makes you feel smart with precise explanations of how CSS works and interactive examples. After that I *had to* buy the course for my whole team and they looooved it 💜

This is a quality article by @samwho.dev, very nice reading and the interactive examples are a gem, check it out! encore.dev/blog/queueing
