Just watched the video by @kevinpowell.co about AI impact on our jobs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aW7... I feel like many of us might be having "AI burnout" - a new type of burnout that we in software industry didn't see before. The analogy of moving from hand-crafted to conveyor belts seems right.

on the anthropic IPO stuff, I think this via @garbageday.email is pretty much spot on www.garbageday.email/p/they-want-...

But I’ll end this here with a little conspiracy theory courtesy of Hacker News that I have decided I will believe until I see proof to the contrary. “OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly asking for slowdown in AI research,” one user wrote. “Translation: We see this technology not being any more useful than what it is now, no AGI is coming, and the first one to accept this and slow down the dollar burn rate will incur the wrath of the market. So let's say this big boogeyman technology will end all life on earth and we all slow down together.”

I made a new PostCSS plugin for the new CSS `corner-shape: squircle`. It creates smooth corners like in iOS (and nature). The plugin adjusts `border-radius` for squircle geometry and can add `corner-shape` automatically. github.com/postcss/post...

Excited to see we'll eventually have responsive iframes. It's a one-liner in CSS with `frame-sizing: content-height;` but it does require a meta tag to opt-in from the embedded doc as well. Currenly only behind a flag in Chrome, but will be nice to have once it starts landing.

Ever double-tapped a button on your phone and had the page zoom in? In this post over on @piccalil.li, @bell.bz looks at a simple CSS one-liner of `touch-action: manipulation` to prevent that, rather than messing with the viewport meta. piccalil.li/blog/stop-bu...

Stop buttons triggering zoom when they’re double tapped

It’s annoying when your browser zooms if a button is rapidly tapped. There’s actually a really simple fix and no, you don’t have to prevent all zooming with a meta tag!

This conversation inspired me to write a bit more about polyfilling/fallbacks for progress(). If your breakpoints are in pixels, which they usually are, all you need is this! Not a nice as progress() but a lot better than I proposing in my previous article. Only 1 @property and 1 tan(atan2())

CSS code: @property --vw { syntax: "<length>"; inherits: true; initial-value: 100vw; } :root { --progress: clamp(0, tan(atan2(var(--vw) - 300px, 1200px - 300px)), 1); }

CSS keeps getting better and better, but the problem with hearing about amazing new features is that we're stuck not being able to use them for a few years because of browser support. So, this week I looked at a bunch of well-supported CSS features that I still see people turn to JS for.

The GTA6 site transitions between sections. Still early in, but I think I'm getting pretty close with scroll-driven animations. Next I need add a delay for stacked elements. Having things fade out a little later than others makes it a lot nicer. The videos do make it a bit cooler, though 😅

Container queries are great, but if you set up several containers and use cqi for fluid type, one font-size gives you different sizes in every container. Registering the property lets us lock the size to a specific container, helping to fix the issue. youtu.be/q-_cIlttYBc
