Documentation for the react-resizable-panels NPM package

I have been making some really neat UIs lately for work, but I’ve been simultaneously kind of demotivated by the feeling that no one even cares anymore, “Shouldn’t we just be using AI for this? Why do we even need a UI?”

Ooof 🫠 relatable

It’s like using cheat codes on a video game when we were younger. At one point this would have been an amazing accomplishment. Now it feels like nothing.

Nothing really makes sense on the Internet anymore in the age of AI. For instance, I’m no longer sure how to even make sense of NPM package download stats. react-resizable-panels now gets almost 40 million weekly downloads. What does that even mean?

Thoughtful piece. I enjoyed it.

Brian @bvaughn.me · 24/09/2026

A while ago, someone requested react-resizable-panels support 2d "grid" layouts. I'm working on a new set of grid+cell components to support this, with a similar API (in terms of constraints and separator styling at least) github.com/bvaughn/reac...

Court cases always reveal interesting things. In many ways, it’s a shame the court moves so slowly. youtu.be/3KI3USLsy-8?...

This feeling is going around 🫂

Wonder how the speed of development will change when/if the hundreds of billions of dollars of investments stop flowing though the few large companies working in this space

Yes for certain Also “we are experiencing longer hold times due to higher call volumes” as a service

020

Business idea: “We’re updating our terms of service” as a service Every few days I’ll email your users with a ToD update notification, regardless of whether the terms have actually changed, so you don’t have to worry

What a fucking depressing mess we live in

Brian @bvaughn.me · 07/09/2026

Thanks Google. Great idea to push it so heavily btw

Physically, I’m OK. My neck and face hurt and I have a headache, but it’s fine. I’m really struggling with anger though. I’m mad that someone would just do something like that and then walk away and I’m kind of mad at myself that I just let them do it I didn’t know if they had a knife or a weapon

Brian @bvaughn.me · 22/08/2026

You’re right. I know everyone is probably just afraid to involve themselves in any potentially violent situation these days. I can understand that Thank you for the kind words ❤️

Brian @bvaughn.me · 22/08/2026

Some guy sucker-puncher me in the head from behind on my run today (while I was stopped waiting for a crosswalk light) 🫩 Tbh I was pretty bummed that no one tried to help in any way I have a pretty nasty headache now

Yeah. AI tools are very good at rote tasks like this, which is great because those are the kinds of tasks that drive engineers crazy

I’m kind of suspicious of most things these days but particularly blockchain stuff

They all sound like they were written by an LLM that was pointed at a README and told to write an introductory email thanking the author for the library and how great it was at <random features>, and then offering sponsorship "no strings attached"

Brian @bvaughn.me · 20/08/2026

Has anyone else in the OSS community received semi-shady emails from a bunch of (fake?) people in the past week or two, offering to "sponsor" their open source work (but really prompting some kind of blockchain thing)? I've gotten at least 6.

I would be happy to do a walk and talk with you sometime. Happy to meet in the middle.
