LLMs are really bad at CSS because they very often cannot take surrounding context into consideration, which leads them to output atomic code that negatively clashes with neighbouring styles.

The two most effective ways your company can support open source:
1. Let your developers have time for open source work.
2. Give each of your developers an annual budget to allocate to whatever OSS projects they think are important.

@sarasoueidan.com minor pet peeve from the practical-accessibility course platform: on the /account page, it would be nice to have a "Continue course" button that takes me to the earliest non-completed chapter 🙏 Been loving the course!

It's amazing what developers are capable of when they understand the problem at hand, are empowered, and not stuck in the Agile tarpit.

@microsoft.com has been stuffing so much Copilot down our throats. 😮💨 Every time I open a MSFT product to work on something I'm attacked with a new coachmarks onboarding.

@figma.com pro tip: Add documentation links to multiple components at once using the developer console & this snippet.
1. Select all components which need the link
2. Open the console
3. type figma.currentPage.selection.map(n=>n.documentationLinks = [{uri: "https://your-link.here"}])

Designers,
When it comes to logical reading order, the structure of the content will determine that. You should lay the content out in a logical reading order. It's not necessary to mimic how virtual cursors work by annotating the focus order of content.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

What's the best way of storing AI context or rules files (.md or .cursorrules) in a centralized manner so they can be retrieved as devDeps / dependencies and integrated into AI workflows? 🤔

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
