sadly, i have the same worries as Patrick, as i keep hearing people around me talk about optimising for agents, and dead internet theory, it's pretty sad that the web that opened so many opportunities for me seems to be taking a turn for the worse :(

it's always been about exerting power and control over others, something as innocuous as time can be weaponized against the people physically doing the work. infuriating.

I have a vague worry that, as we put more and more computation into CSS, web devs are going to end up with performance issues that are difficult to trace to their source compared to JS solutions. The answer is to surface this in DevTools I guess.

i do agree with Adam here, i've found myself saying multiple times to some of my colleagues, who to be fair, are not career web developers themselves, that i write my HTML and CSS by hand because the AI simply cannot create what i have in my head in the concise code that i want the output to be.

I did not know Bloomberg has a JS blog, nor did I know about its JavaScript Infrastructure and Terminal Experience team. What I did know is that I had heard about Temporal for years. I understood that it was massive and it was hard to implement but it would make dates and time in JS make sense.

Back in 2015, I had a template called blank-html which was the most basic setup for me to build and experiment with HTML, CSS and JS. I had used Gulp 3 as the task runner. Over the years, minor upgrades were made, Gulp 4, remove node-sass etc. I think it's time for a major rehaul to use Vite 8 🤓
