in my defense i never think of it as "java" + "script". it's just "javascript" one word in my head

Interesting! I recently had the urge to make a “collection” of albums that fit the same vibe (ie soundtracks to listen to while I work) but it felt wrong just dumping them in a playlist

kind of hilarious that a trillion dollar company's microsite *about* ux engineering just completely missed this breakpoint bug

a screenshot of uxe.withgoogle.com, a website about user experience engineering at google. there's overlapping text that makes it kind of unreadable, which is ironic given that it's a site about engineering user experiences.

My fav iOS 26 update so far is the return of “slide to X”. Always loved this mechanism. What a lovely surprise to have it reappear!

What’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.

Very confused / intrigued as to how this component was implemented, because not only is it misaligned, it also looks to be slightly askew?

A screenshot of the NYT games app in the results screen after completing the Connections. Badge progress for a 30 day streak is shown, with the progress indicator component being somewhat visually distracting

A closer screenshot of the progress indicator component. Genuinely curious about how this was implemented

just came across this nice and simple implementation. really appreciate the inline expansion (and the intuitive press-to-hide) as compared to the common internal linking practice of footnotes

(just read your most recent blog post and saw the specific line you quoted and now realize where the trouble arose.) fwiw, i didn’t read it that way and focused on the “friction-creating” mechanisms you speculated on, like a confirmation dialog prompting you to acknowledge that your behavior is 👎
