I have a lot of the same feelings. I’m still figuring out how to use agents efficiently while still holding on to some of the craft of coding. I wrote about it here. It’s long so you might want an agent to summarize before committing to reading it yourself. www.lorenstew.art/blog/agentic...

I think this is my best post yet. "Agentic alienation: remaining responsible for work while becoming separated from its product, its process, the capabilities it develops, or the relationships it sustains. Alienation is a relationship before it is a feeling."

Chinese company Z.ai released their new open weight model GLM 5.2 While it’s not quite as good as the latest Claude or GPT, it’s very close, as good as those were just a few months ago And it’s open-weight so anyone can download and use it

There are two kinds of "framework-agnostic": 1️⃣ Agnostic at runtime → ship your own reactivity, adapt it into every framework 2️⃣ Agnostic at build time → compile the framework's native primitive into the core Almost everyone does 1️⃣. It's why you get a subscribe layer and a bundle tax.

True, but then you'll see malformed content for a quick duration and then see it heal. that makes for a janky UX

I use regex to find the beginning and end of complex nodes like code blocks and html tables. I don’t steam the result until all the chunks for that bit are accumulated, then it’s sent to the client. Parsing on the frontend has this same issue

I love this: “Here is a question most frontend developers rarely think to ask: why is this running in the browser? Why is this code running on hardware I’ve never seen, competing for resources with 47 other tabs, on a device I can’t profile or reproduce bugs on?”

It's a good list but #3 should be "End qualified immunity, full stop." The idea that ICE is special (and doesn't include CBP!?) is a sizable part how we got here.

AI is horrible at creating code that matches a design. Sure it can produce UIs when few requirements are there, but producing a pixel perfect design just isn’t happening yet. Kinda happy about that honestly

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

One of my hopes for 2026 is that browser vendors take more responsibility for today's pervasively bad experiences. Nobody wants a slow site, but they also don't want to dismiss a mailing-list pop-up that blocks scrolling. Browsers need to step in: infrequently.org/2025/11/perf...

Heads up! I have a big update coming soon. All apps are deployed and I'm testing with playwright now. The overall lesson is the same, but I will include information on CSS strategies as well. Bundle size is still the major factor but poor use of CSS can destroy an apps performance.
