this is awesome news. CSS Tricks has been with me since the start of my web career and i'm so glad it's in the hands of someone who cares about the web and web development as much as Geoff :))))))))))

”Today, we often hear the word “democratize” from GenAI promoters, but it means the exact opposite. AI centralizes power and commodifies knowledge, instead of teaching skills and deep understanding.”– @molily.de molily.de/web-dev-educ...

i really like this episode, honestly before my current job, i never really used it much, but now it is an actual product feature that i explain to our dev community

The script standardized by Qin Shi Huang has now been officially encoded. Unicode 18.0 was released last week, adding 13,007 characters to bring the total to more than 170,000. Of these new additions, 11,328 are Small Seal characters.

sadly, i have the same worries as Patrick, as i keep hearing people around me talk about optimising for agents, and dead internet theory, it's pretty sad that the web that opened so many opportunities for me seems to be taking a turn for the worse :(

this song played so much on the radio back in the 90s, really cool to hear real story behind its production songexploder.net/paula-cole

it's always been about exerting power and control over others, something as innocuous as time can be weaponized against the people physically doing the work. infuriating.

Native CSS modules are coming to WebKit!! github.com/WebKit/WebKi... WebKit is the last major browser engine to add support, so we'll get to baseline support soon. Servo supports them too 😎

it's still a hobby, i still like it is this an excuse to just use my cat as OG images for blog posts? yes. chenhuijing.com/blog/i-still...

this is really neat!

This is the coolest article I've ever written. Genuinely. All of you should read it.

still looking forward to incremental font transfer (IFT) (๑•̀ ᴗ•́)૭✧

"Someone who has lived with words long enough can sense when a sentence has not been earned, and someone who has already developed a voice can use the machine without allowing the machine to become the voice."

if you understand Chinese, this @thetype.com episode covering the Yi script and Yi people is really worth a listen. www.thetype.com/typechat/ep-...

building or creating within constraints often yields the best results imho www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

I have a vague worry that, as we put more and more computation into CSS, web devs are going to end up with performance issues that are difficult to trace to their source compared to JS solutions. The answer is to surface this in DevTools I guess.

i am so very pleased that CSS field-sizing has landed! i have a madlibs style interface (it's an experiment), which looks so much better now. ❤️

“if every engineer (or copywriter, or doctor, etc.) is required to develop the skill to use these tools, then all of them are eminently replaceable by anyone else.”

i love it when someone uses CSS to make things pretty, extra love when semantic HTML is involved ❤️ Pretty Codepen using <mark> element by @hejchristian.com codepen.io/HejChristian...

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

this is such a beautiful read. discovered somaFM. and am glad i'm still writing on my 12yo (and counting) blog. not for views, not for money (never earned a cent from it), but just because i feel like it.

i love the dialog element, did i ever announce my love for the dialog element? so many features out-of-the-box. even though that's not the main point of this. doing my best to write vanilla HTML, CSS and TS (just cos the job wants me to, i don't mind TS or JS tbh) chenhuijing.com/blog/buildin...

✏️ Open web vs AI: what can W3C do? hidde.blog/web-ai-break... high-level write-up of last week's W3C AC breakout, where we talked about threats to the open web and what to do next. Thanks to @mnot.net @benwerd.eurosky.social @ouvre-boite.com and others for talking/writing about this before.

this is absolutely gorgeous 😍

this is kinda unhinged but in the BEST way possible. also, checkout @jack.cab's main home page, it is a work of art.

i do agree with Adam here, i've found myself saying multiple times to some of my colleagues, who to be fair, are not career web developers themselves, that i write my HTML and CSS by hand because the AI simply cannot create what i have in my head in the concise code that i want the output to be.

“Even if something is easy to build with, it might not be as easy to keep running. We cannot "abandon" mission-critical technology.”

my favouritest CSS artist on the interwebs!

Love this deep dive explainer on how JPEG compression works www.sophielwang.com/blog/jpeg

tried @codepen.io's new 2.0 interface, works pretty well with Typescript, and that bare module specifier which pulls your project's npm packages for you is pretty neat 🤓 codepen.io/editor/huiji...

2 posts in a week, the sky might be falling. no i'm kidding, please don't fall, sky. this time we think about how to tell people to about fees when transferring funds. chenhuijing.com/blog/designi...

"Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world. For years, the work of African data labelers has been more or less “ghost work,” the unseen, hidden labor that lets American tech companies build their products."

got more acquainted with BigInt after starting this job. still don't like basis points. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who called git, and how Claude was caught red-handed by @eclecticlight.co.web.brid.gy, quite an interesting read. eclecticlight.co/2026/03/17/w...

this is the most amazing CSS thing i've seen on the interwebs for a while. i know very little about x86 and can barely write a C program that does more than Hello World or add two single digits together. but this is absolutely blowing my mind 🤯

this is very clever imho.

Back in 2015, I had a template called blank-html which was the most basic setup for me to build and experiment with HTML, CSS and JS. I had used Gulp 3 as the task runner. Over the years, minor upgrades were made, Gulp 4, remove node-sass etc. I think it's time for a major rehaul to use Vite 8 🤓

New blog post! I added Bluesky likes and liker avatars to my #Astro blog. No API keys, no server-side code, just pure delightful #webcomponents. Here's how I went from "I want that" to "it's live" in about an hour: loige.co/how-i-added-...

“…LLMs will make formal methods go mainstream, but being easily able to write specifications doesn't help with correctness if the specs don't actually verify anything.” but like @hillelwayne.com says, maybe this will all be laughably obsolete come June ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“But simply watching work happen, without any of the creative, autonomous activity that would occur if they were doing the work themselves, gives rise to a degree of boredom and stupefaction that can be physically painful and spiritually debilitating.”

”We are witnessing a civilizational "race to the middle," where the complexity of human thought is sacrificed on the altar of algorithmic smoothness.”

i love a solid debugging the browser write-up

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...
