GitHub just finished ripping styled-components out of github.com. Result: 55% less time to server-render a page, 25% faster component init. CSS-in-JS makes you pay for styles twice: collecting them on the server, running JS on the client. Static CSS is *always* more efficient. Ship CSS.

Dividing up AI users in 3 categories: Wizard: approaches AI academically & with appropriate guards & wards. Treats it like a tool. Warlock: Makes a pact for power with an alien entity without considering the costs. Is corrupted by the whispers. Cleric: worships their new machine god. Is insane.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

👀 New HTTP QUERY method Similar to GET, with a body allowed Safe, idempotent, cacheable There are also headers to: - give the query its own URI (Location) to query again without body - give the response its own URI (Content-Location) to get the same response again www.reddit.com/r/webdev/com...

What about a straight line that bends when the circles get closer and stretches when they get farther. It's surely not possible using pure CSS, right? Right!? 👀 css-tip.com/bending-line/ Probably my new favorite demo, powered by the modern features. CSS is awesome! 😍

I’ve been working with a client who runs a lot of social media and ad campaigns, so we’ve been deploying the experimental `No-Vary-Search HTTP` header. It’s amazing to see it actually working! Read all about it here: csswizardry.com/2026/05/bett...

Better Browser Caching with No-Vary-Search – CSS Wizardry

No-Vary-Search lets HTTP caches ignore irrelevant query parameters such as UTM tags, while still keeping meaningful ones like product variants in the cache key.

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not because of flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — as a tiny example, it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-i...

i feel like my job as an engineer has always been asking questions like "how" and "why". it wasn't really "write code". sure, the latter was the "how" very often, but that was simply because at one point that _was_ the only "how" that was available

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

"Wemby's too emotional." "Wemby should stop crying." "Wemby's gay."
Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?
I asked Wemby about why that is. Here's his response:
"That's a tough question. I think it's first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions."

I don't think tech at large understands how hard it is to be an open source maintainer right now. So many great folks are on the brink of burnout. Funding is drying out. We live in a security minefield. Companies think humans are disposable. If you're a maintainer, we care. You deserve the world.

Happy to announce TSRX. Think of it as the spiritual successor to JSX. We extracted it from Ripple, and made it framework agnostic. It can compile to React, Ripple and Solid, other frameworks to come soon. tsrx.dev

export component Greeting({ name }: { name?: string }) {
<div class="card">
if (name) {
<p>{`Hello, ${name}`}</p>
} else {
<p>{'Hello, stranger'}</p>
}
</div>

<style>
.card { padding: 1rem; }
</style>
}

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version, reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!
