> I’ve concluded that everything we’ve been taught about clean code and readable variable names is not just wrong — it’s actively hurting performance. This was already known. Clean code was never about performance. It was about legibilit

I really like the idea of a daily check in, but I don’t want to sound like AI. I think the issue that many would face is that they just don’t have interesting things to say every day. But maybe a tool like this would prove me wrong and impr

I have no idea what immich is or what this post says, but I LOVE that this company has a collection of posts called, “Cursed Knowledge.”

They’re not wrong though. If AWS goes down, EVERYTHING goes down to some degree. Your app, your competitor’s apps, your clients’ chat apps. You’re kinda off the hook.

Fun! I got wrecked by a few misclicks on today’s daily. When I completed the game, the “share” button was mostly obscured by my address bar (iPhone 15 - iOS 18 - Safari).

Installing some stop lights seems much cheaper than redesigning our cities. I don’t think “walkable” cities is an answer to anything. Walking is hard for children and the elderly. Public transit is SUPER slow. If cars fit on the road, then

This is incredible. This post led me to your GitHub, which is full of similarly incredible content. “Awesome Cold Showers”? Beautiful.

The “ch” unit is super useful for text-rich webpages. Eg `max width: 70ch` to clamp your blog at 70 characters wide. Speaking of, I believe the `ch` unit references both the width and height of the current font—not just the height as you su

I don’t even think you need an alias. There’s a bat config file (`bat —config-file` to find it). You can probably drop `—wrap never` there. I include a few different `—map-syntax` declarations there.

I love that this whole thing was a non-fix to a non-issue. The fix didn’t change any signal strength issues. It just changed the UI a bit.

Kevin Powell makes wonderful content. I am saddened by the negative responses here. This article is a great intro for the absolute beginner to dip their toes into CSS.

> The solution is quite obvious then too: learn some. That’s the whole point of this article. CSS is a huge language. Where do you even begin? This article is a perfect response to that very natural question.

`100% - 4rem` is for mobile. `70ch` is for desktop. The tiny column is intentional. It offers a better default reading experience than a widescreen monitor full of text.

Imagine asking an AI to translate your Rust codebase into pseudocode so that you can debug a lifetime annotation issue.

Some users, like journalists and the visually impaired, disable JavaScript. If you can make a product that works for them, why not do it? Some web clients, like TTY-based clients, ignore both JavaScript AND CSS. People using these clients r

Pretty dope stuff. My first thought with a finance tracker would have been “Dashboard? Interactivity? That’s a SPA.” Very pleased with your results.

Great take. I personally find the thought of spec-driven development tedious and boring. But maybe that’s a good thing.

Matt’s behavior was atrocious. I’m with WP Engine on this, and I’m appalled that the courts sided with Automattic. I don’t pretend to know the law better than they do, but still.
