The only reason it would have taken 5 years to migrate off of Enzyme is because every engineer they'd have assigned to the task would have rage quit 2 weeks in.

Asana cleared 5 years of engineering work in 2 weeks with Codex
Asana used OpenAI Codex to replace an outdated testing system in two weeks, completing work expected to take five years for about $12K.

Hard to say what is the worst UI regression in iOS 26 but this has to be near the top. Maddening.
iPhone screenshot showing an active text field where the “clear field” button and “cancel” button are right next to one another and look basically the same, making them extremely easy to confuse and perform the wrong action.

Here's my objectively correct take on lint rules: 1. If it isn't a runtime error, severity should be set to warning 2. Ensure lint scripts fail on warning 3. If it isn't a legit footgun, the rule is dumb 4. If you insist on dumb rules, they should be auto-fixable

I avoid deadlifts because I’m terrified of injuring my back. My lower back is weaker because I avoid deadlifts which makes it easier to injure my back. The cautious gym bro’s paradox.

If you thought we were done with View Transitions, guess again! A feature Chrome is working on, is “Scoped View Transitions”, which allow you to scope a VT to a subtree of the DOM. This unlocks things like concurrent transitions and prevents layering issues. developer.chrome.com/blog/scoped-...

Did you know you can pass a promise to children? So you don't need to split into components just to get a loading boundary, just do <Suspense> {promise.then(data => <whatever data={data} />)} </Suspense>
