The build script creates up to 5 versions of each code sample using Prettier, and a container query displays the right one. Brotli means the filesize overhead is very small.

Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 05/07/2026I wonder if the harness or model providers could use this pattern. Upgrade/downgrade the model for different parts of the task, and have smarter models delegate to simpler ones. 110

Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page. 9036301033
Reposted by Josh PullenVanilagy @vanilagy.bsky.social · 10/04/2026API design is so freaking hard. Over the course of adding HLS support, I've redone the new API about 5 or 6 times by now. Sometimes you literally first need to see how Variant A feels before you know Variant B was better all along. And knowing you can't change it after release! 061

Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 06/04/2026I’ve wanted to do this! Nice to see the thinking and have a way to talk to the AI as it works. Funny that this interaction pattern only works because AI is slow to process. As hardware gets better and processing gets faster this will necessarily go away. 010
Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 06/04/2026I like having two projects. Having multiple is good because switching back and forth helps me get un-stuck on problems. Any more than two makes it impossible to dedicate enough attention to each one. 000
Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 04/04/2026This is awesome. I’ve never struggled with remembering these, but I love the techniques 010
Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 26/03/2026You have the wisdom of crowds in your pocket, available to answer your most specific questions on demand. I use it when I want to know "what would a thoughtful, well-researched crowd say?" My job is to be the unitary executive who makes final decisions and takes accountability for them. 120

Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 01/03/2026Just deleted my ChatGPT account. I'd rather use an LLM from a company that aligns with my values. I don't support mass surveillance or AI weapons without a human in the loop, and OpenAI does. The decision was made easier by just how good the other LLMs are. We are spoiled for choice! 030

Josh Pullen @pulljosh.com · 25/02/2026I‘ve been writing a big spec for a library I’m working on and I really enjoy it. I’ve always liked UI work because I get to spend my time designing an output that feels good. Now API design feels similar. 000

Reposted by Josh PullenMatthew Phillips @fancypenguin.party · 08/02/2026Those things change often but are also low effort so I don't consider it a waste of time.
