The least architectural and structural decisions you delegate to AI, the better. Let it do the code monkey, but you should always be the senior making key decisions during the whole process. If you are not, well, you will have problems sooner or later, my friend.

Something AI agents can't do on their own if left to run without precise instructions constraints and fences, is respect KISS principles They get verbose, overdo requested tasks, and address what they think are "issues" even when not instructed Anyone else experiencing this?

Just one week left for Three.js Conf in Paris! Let's meet there if you are participating too!

That was a sample of the skills I'm including in a personal project that I'm currently working on. More to come later 👀

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 06/08/2026

When authoring skills for an AI agent you can't just blindly trust AI itself to write the constraints that it needs to follow later when actually coding: you need to revise and tweak them, your direction should be intentional, at least if you want the AI to work your way.

People going full agentic and telling you that if you read your code you are wasting time, and people manually tweaking animation values and small visual details because it also needs to "feel" right. I'm in the latter category.

A little new useful feature in my "Nuxt Social Share" module: now together with social sharing buttons, you also have available some "Ask AI" buttons. You can try it with `npx nuxt@latest module add nuxt-social-share` nuxt-social-share.stefanobartoletti.it/usage/suppor...

Then, I've also repurposed a page on my website, previously dedicated only to my open-source projects, that now displays various achievements that I have unlocked through the years: awards, recognitions, talks, and other cool stuff. Have a look! 👉 stefanobartoletti.it/achievements/

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 07/07/2026

💥A brand new version of this starter, still using the same Nuxt codebase for the frontend and with the same feature set, but with @sanity.io as the CMS. 😎 Some other stuff that I hope to be able to talk about soon! More 🧵

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 07/07/2026

What I'm active on lately: 💪An updated version of my @nuxt.com + @storyblok.com starter, that includes: a tailor-made page builder, blog and portfolio features, @gsap-greensock.bsky.social and Lenis already included and configured, SEO and LLMs ready, and more useful features. More 🧵

After years of using it, sometimes TypeScript still gives me some headaches. Ngl, it feels like an unnecessary complication and a slowdown But the reality is that it forces you to solve problems before they can crawl unnoticed into production, so thanks TS for your pedantry :D

🗓️New availability opening up mid-April🗓️ I'm a freelance web developer specialized in high-quality frontends with ➡️Vue/Nuxt ➡️GSAP/Lenis animations ➡️Headless CMS (proud @storyblok.com MVP) Need help with a landing page, portfolio or other creative website? DM me and let's talk!

You know you are doing something weird when your AI agent replies to you "You are probably right!" instead of "You are absolutely right!"

I just love how Copilot can get creative with its auto-completion suggestions for code comments, inventing whole stories in its own head

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 27/01/2026

Lenis is a smooth scrolling library and as today, it's the standard one for this kind of implementations. Aiming for a SOTD is way more complex than adding libraries, hat counts is the overall art direction and implementation, the final result, rather that what techs were used to build it.

000

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 16/01/2026

For other popular techs in the 30 nominees, we can see that 👉 barba.js still holds its ground, despite frameworks such as Nuxt having native page transition features 👉 @motion.dev and @animejs.com together are present in more than 10% of websites

010

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 16/01/2026

About creative techs, it is not surprising to see that the 30 nominees massively use the "holy trinity" of this kind of creative website: 👉 @gsap-greensock.bsky.social 👉 #lenis 👉 #threejs They keep being the top techs in their relevant area. (more 👇)

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 16/01/2026

I analyzed the stacks for all 30 Awwwards SOTY nominees Here are the top 3 frameworks: 🥇 @vuejs.org / @nuxt.com (13) 🥈 #webflow (6) 🥉 HTML+JS (4) I'm not surprised to see Vue and Nuxt at the top of the list, but I was not expecting such domination 😮 (more 👇)

👨‍💻My latest project is live! New website for Consensys, the company behind @metamask.io. Created in collaboration with Studio Freight. 🔧 Built with @svelte.dev, @gsap-greensock.bsky.social, @splinetool.bsky.social 👉 Case study: www.stefanobartoletti.it/work/consens...

010

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 26/09/2025

Some of my latest projects required me to use different stacks than my usual. I must say that nothing else I'm trying, works and feels "right" like working with @vuejs.org and @nuxt.com, you always feel like they are helping you achieve your goals and not fighting the tools.

Stefano Bartoletti @stefanobartoletti.it · 25/09/2025

Developers problems: you need to add a new case study to your portfolio website, it will take about an hour at most. You end up creating new features and tweaking old ones, you are a week into it and probably next one as well, and you haven't even started with the content update

I'm a longtime fan of the "Syberia" series, and I've just finished the last installment, "The World Before": 10/10 if you ask me. Great setting, deep and believable characters, touching and emotional story, all as usual. And Kate Walker is one of the best videogame characters ever.

Vibe coding is cool and all, but when a simple oneliner would have solved the problem at hand, it completely rewrites my components with both different styling/linting and logic (often being more complex, verbose, and unclear)

Don't know why, but initially I thought Canaries or something like that :) Anyway, impressive ✌️

Is it just me or Gmail spam filters are not really working great lately?

Also my new Nvidia GPU, despite being told to be a spruce of possible problems, works perfectly, and actually gives me better benchmark scores with GeekBench under Linux than in the Windows partition

I'm using @opensuse.org Tumbleweed and it is as solid as a rock. In about 10 years using this distro, I never had serious breaking issues, and the few times where something was not working out of the box, it's been easy to configure it manually

Sometimes being a freelance developer means being free to invest in yourself, make your own choices, and feel free to sail your boat along your own course. Ultimately being empowered by being the architect of your own destiny. Some other times it just feels like a solitary and tiresome voyage

Reddit should seriously stop translating its content into my own language if I'm not explicitly telling it so. It is annoying and not useful at all

Sometimes you have to remind yourself the fundamentals.

Is it a good choice to use Histoire for component development instead of Storybook? I like the idea of having a Vue environment and be able to use Vue conventions since I'm mostly dealing with Vue, but this project seems to be not very updated lately. Ideas? histoire.dev #vue #nuxt

Animations in progress for an upcoming project. Mixing @nuxt.com & @vuejs.org integrated transitions with advanced animations from @gsap-greensock.bsky.social All good things in web development have green logos 💚😏

That's what I feared. I need it to be reliable also for longer chats, possibly by getting back at them also days or weeks later, and also for longer evaluations in the same context
