p75 and p90 JavaScript bytes on the web have exploded since May, 2025—easily the largest 10 month period based on HTTP Archive data since 2023. The long-tail is getting worse, very quickly. Gemini, what happened in May 2025?

Friends don't let friends use Trivy to scan their software for vulnerabilities (any more) I'm working on a talk on supply chain security and boy did the example section increase over the weekend 😬 www.stepsecurity.io/blog/trivy-c... socket.dev/supply-chain... socket.dev/blog/trivy-d...

I just added this commit message to our repository: "Add Tardis module to enable time travel" Is this the peak of my career in software development? Where do I go from here?

Introducing the <geolocation> HTML element developer.chrome.com/blog/geoloca... Wave goodbye to more tedious JS boilerplate code. As far as I'm concerned, UI stuff should all be declarative. Save JS for business logic (or React, if you're showcasing your new loading spinner designs).

It struck me today: if everybody follows the recommendation to wait n days to install dependencies to avoid supply chain attacks, nobody will detect the bad package until n days has passed. And we're all in the same boat. Again.

Cloudflare is down, and everything has turned to shit. Again. Only one option remains. ☕️ ☕️ ☕️

Wrote some words on how to live a moderately happy life with (too) many dependencies in javascript, docker and github actions, in the shadow of the resurgence of the Shai-hulud worm blog.knuthaugen.no/code/2025/11...

Sometimes it's the little things in life. My (work) life improved by _a lot_ when I discovered split view in chrome, displaying two tabs at once. Two for the price of one!

If blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-bu... isn't some serious crazy scientist stuff in a font packaging, I don't know what is. Mind. Thoroughly. Blown.

I've been an AI curmudgeon for a long time, I am getting old after all, but the chrome devtools mcp server (github.com/ChromeDevToo...) is very promising for analysing and working with performance related stuff. And probably more.

“A better future for JavaScript that won't happen” https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/17/2025-09-17-An-impossible-future-for-JS.html > people have been sounding the alarm for years that this approach to dependency management is reckless and dangerous and broken by design.

This blog post remains super important because it's one of the few comparisons I've seen that talks about the main JS framework scaling limit: framework size + code per component webcomponents.dev/blog/all-the...

Firefox shipping scheduler.postTask() and scheduler.yield() for all your long task-avoiding scheduling needs!!

The biggest lie the devil ever told was the one in Outlook where it claims "What a productive day! You've accomplished a lot" when your inbox is empty. W.T.F? I've accomplished moving the emails somewhere else.

I was today days old when I learned about the `touch-action` css property and the `pointercancel event`, fixing an android bug. Turns out chrome for android is more picky about these things than mobile safari. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

CSS if() function landed today(!!!) in Chrome 137 🥳 along with another rad feature: reading-flow 🥳 So I put together a quick video showcasing both: youtu.be/Apn8ucs7AL0

Here's my talk from I/O along with the companion blog post that rounds up all of the links mentioned. It's been a very exciting year for the web, and all the new Baseline tooling we've just announced can help you understand when to adopt these new features. web.dev/blog/whats-n...

Don't mess with zooming on a website. Don't mess with scrolling on a website. Don't mess with default cursors on a website. Don't mess with the default Tab order. Don't mess with the back button in the browser. Thank you.

we totally agree

You think you have the topics for a talk nailed, but then you start researching and all these new topics crop up, and the slide tally just keeps increasing! Super cool, actually to discover all these new things. But then again not so cool :-(

You should not be using React[1], but if you do, *absolutely* avoid Next.js: eduardoboucas.com/posts/2025-03-25… [1]: infrequently.org/2024/11/if-not-r…

New in Chrome DevTools: Accurately emulate CPU performance of a low/mid tier phone with Automatic CPU throttling calibration! 📲 This feature calculates slow-downs for your specific device. Wanted this for years! We just shipped it.

Every web deve...sorrry, "full stack engineer", should watch this talk by @programmingart.bsky.social : fosdem.org/2025/schedule/ev…

I wrote some words (well, quite a few actually) about Web Vitals and how to use them for tracking ana analysing web site performance. As usual when I start to dig around on web technology, I end up in a deeper hole than I thought. blog.knuthaugen.no/web/2025/02/...

My life changed for the better when I started opening bananas from the correct end. I highly recommend it.

I have written some words on taking the very promising speculation rules browser API for a spin. It's very cool! blog.knuthaugen.no/web/2024/12/...

Missed this when it was posted; *wow*: "I hold this truth to be self-evident: the larger the abstraction layer a web developer uses on top of web standards, the shorter the shelf life of their codebase becomes, and the more they will feel the churn." plainvanillaweb.com/blog/articles/20…

LANG TRÅD! Ting henger sammen. Denne uken har TV2 Play lansert en reklamekampanje som består av parodier på «smale og pretensiøse» tv-serier der karakterene «innser at publikummet deres har forlatt dem til fordel for relaterbart og engasjerende innhold på TV2 Play». kampanje.com/reklame/2024...
