Working with slow internet is really making me wish more sites would just send HTML over the wire

Lieke B 👩‍💻 @leekeh.com · 16/09/2026

maybe in this era of hyper-capitalism, where new technology is making us even more rushed and dividing our attention constantly, having patience itself is a radical thing

Why do so many accessibility-focused resources not use the focus-visible selector? Showing the focus outline on clicks feels so clunky.

My job as a guy who has officially Seen Some Shit in my professional career is now to show up and say "yes yes nice workaround but have we tried not having this problem" and then showing what not having the problem looks like. I can't imagine this is popular but by god is it needed

How are people managing the tension between wanting to share & open-source their code, and avoiding AI just scraping and stealing it?

For whatever godforsaken reason I still _care_. The web started as a craft, and still can be. And when it is built as such, it shines. That said, it is increasingly more difficult to live in hope. I don’t blame or fault the people who exit. Unfortunately, this is the only game I know.

TIL WebKit renders SVG filters directly on the CPU. So if you use SVG filters to create effects on your page (like a squiggle effect...), it can massively slow down the responsiveness of your page. Other browsers use GPU acceleration.

I think the greatest benefit AI has given me is getting me out of the brainstorming phase when I start overthinking projects. I'd rather start building something sloppy and spend a bunch of time fixing issues later, than get stuck in my head on all the different things to consider before building.

Am losing my mind here.... Can typescript not correctly infer types of keys that were destructured from an object, if the object was passed as a generic type? But the remainder of the object is still correctly typed?? Anyone has an elegant way to work with this?

Screenshot of typescript code. The code reads:

function destructure<T extends Record<string, unknown>>(props: T) {
const { key1, key2, ...restProps } = props;

return {
key1,
key2,
...restProps,
};
}

const test = destructure({ key1: "value1", key2: "value2", key3: "value3" });
typeof test.key1; //unknown
typeof test.key2; //unknown
typeof test.key3; //string

In normal language, this means that when the destructure function is called, the restprops will be correctly typed, but the picked keys will receive the unknown property.

I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

it's kinda sad that digital work is so hidden like there's no messy study room or bookshelves full of works you've read or letters from people and gizmos and widgets you've built or stacks of drawings and diagrams it's all just, hidden in folders, already lost in space, and eventually lost to time
