Supply chain attacks can’t be solved with one silver bullet. They need a systemic approach. For every dev layer (not just npm, but CI, Docker, and your editor) ask 4 questions: 1. How can we reduce dependencies? 2. Isolation 3. Update control 4. Review Thread ↓

“Ironically, what I’ve gained from AI is a deeper appreciation for human communication, in all its messy imperfection. The point of a code review is not simply for good code to make it into a codebase, but to build institutional knowledge as people debate and iterate and compromise…Friction is good”

The CSSWG just resolved to add this to the spec 🥳 github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

github.com[css-flexbox-2] Add flex-wrap: balance; · Issue #3070 · w3c/csswg-draftsWe discussed having a flex-wrap:balance value, similar to text-wrap:balance, to even out the length of pre-flexed lines. We should add to level 2.

Introducing 🤯 flex-wrap: balance 🤯 Would you use this? ⚠️ Not a real feature yet, just something one of our engineers has been working on. (You can try it out in the latest Chrome Canary with the experimental web platform features flag though!)

Fresh server and it’s already under attack?! Interesting article by @jclermont.com on why securing your server from day 1 is a must

Joel Clermont@jclermont.com

Very little surprises me on the internet these days, but I was surprised to see my brand new server already being probed for exploits, and even targeting my brand new secret staging domain. How could this happen? masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-0...

A hyper #legible #font that looks good, is that even possible? The answer is yes: buff.ly/2wBNuRa and it is free. I love how much thought went into differentiating similar letters. My 6y-old is learning to read and I see him confuse p,q or b,d. Fantastic @brailleinstitute.bsky.social

It's long past time we had a standard way to load CSS asynchronously. link[async] should work just like the tried and true print-media hack, but without the major downside of javascript reliance for applying CSS. Join me with a plus one here? github.com/whatwg/html/...
