"It’s easy to get caught up in seeing abstractions everywhere. We see two screens that look alike, or two features that behave more or less the same, and our first impulse is to create a reusable, all-encompassing abstraction". Excellent read from @maxiferreira.com 👏 frontendatscale.com/issues/41/
Happy Sunday ☀️ A brand new issue of Frontend at Scale is out today and it’s all about just how terrible we are at estimating software projects 🥲 Check it out at frontendatscale.com/issues/40/

This starts in about 15 minutes! Come hang 🙌
I'll be hanging out with the folks of FEDSA tomorrow at 8:30am Pacific, chatting all about complexity in frontend development. Can I give a talk about complexity without immediately putting everyone to sleep? There's only one way to find out. Hope to see you there! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNOj...

Astro 5.0 is here. Content layer, server islands, simplified prerendering, type-safe env, @vite.dev v6. All stable. Go see what you can do 👇 astro.build/blog/astro-5/
I've been playing with the Popover + Anchor Position APIs to create these follow-the-cursor tooltips you often see in video games. There's very little JS involved, and you get all of the nice auto-positioning goodness for free! Blog post coming soon, here's a Codepen 👇 codepen.io/Charca/pen/m...
Happy Friday beautiful people of 🦋 Here’s a deal you won’t want to miss: My Fundamentals of Frontend Architecture course is 100% off today!* You can get it for absolutely FREE at frontendatscale.com/courses/fron...
Of course I ended up choosing the most time-consuming one. Goodbye all other side projects for the next few months 🥲
Is there a name for that feeling when you finally have a few hours to work on a side project but you can't decide which one so you spend the entire time agonizing over it? Asking for a friend

I’m open to new roles - preferably Staff Engineer or higher and in Platform, DevRel, or fullstack development (I’m versatile)! I’m also good at building internal tools! www.linkedin.com/in/ada-lundh... I’m mostly known for my Python work, but can be just as effective in Typescript or GoLang. 🥰
Let's do a "Hire Me" thread! If you are underrepresented + looking for a new role in tech, reply with your details! Introduce yourself, tell us the role you are looking for, link to your website/LinkedIn and where people can reach you. I will repost

if you have a @github.com profile, can i ask you to update it with your @bsky.app handle? 🙏 👉 it enables some very cool integrations, like auto curated feeds and starter packs for contributors and tech

I love this analogy so much. I've been looking for a good mental model for the advice of "always leaving the codebase better than you found it", and the betterment metric seems to be a perfect fit.
My latest blog post covers how a simple observation at airport security highlights the concept of Betterment and how it applies to engineering teams. Which group are you in? angiejones.tech/the-betterme...
📬 You've got mail! No, not that one, that's clearly spam. I'm talking about Frontend at Scale #35, which is on its way to your inboxes right now! frontendatscale.com/issues/35/
FYI Tiny Desk Japan exists and it's pretty great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGyQ...
Hi friends 👋🏼 I’m mostly into software design and architecture, with a strong focus on frontend development (which I know is kind of a weird combination.) I write all about it in my bi-weekly newsletter frontendatscale.com You should definitely check it out if you’re into this stuff!
