iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I feel like all Opus 5.5 did with motion graphics was seriously degrade their impact and effectiveness. Impressive for sure, but timelines now just look like an endless list of Christmas movie posters. They all kind of feel the same and I end up not want to watch any of them.

I heard SPAs are the best way to guide devs in to the pit of success… 🤔

A year ago I presented Datastar at Dot All 2025. I’ve released an edited version with ums and ahs, long pauses and detours removed, and the audio quality significantly improved. The talk content seems just as relevant today as it was back then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48M7...

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

It's faster to load a designobo project view, with 7 iframes, than to start a electron app. The entire client side js, including datastar, is 30kb gzipped!! youtu.be/I1u9f9X8h-g?...

New from 404 Media: humans are reading ChatGPT conversations. OpenAI has hired an army of contractors who read real ChatGPT users' chats. I've seen internal docs, the review system, and real user prompts. Sometimes they contain very personal and sensitive information www.404media.co/inside-proje...

Sad, but try seeding your team's agent context with instructions to pause and engage with humans more. The "come up for air" clause.

Why is it always "switching to this new CSS framework saves you 20kb of CSS" and never "switching away from React saves you 200kb of JavaScript"?

I think the experience teams are having working with agents is a mixed bag, but mostly negative and existential. It definitely sucks, but likely the world you're stuck in unless you want to find another job in a diminishing pool of companies that work more traditionally.

Raise your hand if you completely understand how your frontend/server bundles are chunked? Other hand if you can confidently say you're only loading the necessary code when and where it's needed.

The argument for SPAs being good for long-running sessions/productivity apps falls flat for me. Take Sentry for example. Yeah I have a long session here and there (long being like 3-5 minutes), but the lion share if fresh page loads.

I submitted a WebKit bug yesterday and it seems like action is actually being taken on it. I can't tell if it's all automated or what's going on, but I expected it to lay dormant long after I've left this mortal plane.

So not trying to hop in any threads of folks I don't normally roll with. Just saying if you're maybe platforming a bigot/racist on your podcast or whatever maybe share some of the problematic posts with your spouse or kids and see what they think of the guest you're excited to have on.

I see the justification for going w/ React is "agents know React". Yes this is true. Still a bad call.
