Follow Jen for Safari news. 👏
Safari 26.1 arrives today. What does this bring developers? Many improvements to Anchor Positioning. A refactor of how WebKit handles CSS Units, bringing relative units (rlh, ic, cap, cqw, cqi, cqmin, cqmax) to SVG for the first time. And many other fixes.

Behind the scenes of a talk recording:

Friday: kids off from school
Monday: they're off... again?!
The week: (traveling for another conf)
Saturday: 🥱
Sunday: I'll do it tonight
Sunday night: too dark, need lighting
Monday: all I hear is leaf blowers outside...

✌🏽Cheers!

I met @toddl.dev at #magnoliaconf and he is a shining example of why I say meet your heroes. 10 out of 10.

I thought a little more about why I love #magnoliaconf so much in such a short time.

Here's two reasons:

1. It's a chill, welcoming place, where I could be myself right away.

2. I go to conferences for inspiration, and the talks selected are filled with opportunities to find this.
Not even a full day at @magnolia.boo and this is already one of my favorite conferences.

Where else are you going to find @joshuakgoldberg.com dressed as a Tinky-Winky?

Seriously though, the speakers, attendees, organizers, MC... they're all wonderful humans.

This week for @magnolia.boo I'm excited to unveil a new talk, with a special twist for this spooky event.

I've heard wonderful things about MagnoliaConf (formerly MagnoliaJS). Thanks @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social for getting me hyped about it!

Netflix is the only subscription our family never takes a break from.

I watch everything my kids watch.

Their favorite shows are the ones that illustrate our differences with kindness & understanding.

This kindness & understanding shows up in how they interact with others.

Dear friends on H1Bs, please be careful about leaving and returning to the USA right now. It could cost you $100k.

I know my country is in debt, but this is a ridiculously shortsighted way to raise funds from tech giants, by holding their employees hostage

“This had been the most exciting thing in my career because I can actually maintain an application and not let the tech debt pile up”

She shared a stellar talk on why rewriting is not the answer but we can instead refactor with AI. 💯

On my way to #CascadiaJS!

I now live 3,000 miles from my adopted “home” conference, but that doesn’t change a thing.

Who will I see this time? 😊

If this doesn’t hook you, I don’t know what does!

Who will I see at @magnolia.boo next month?

I am having a wild year and there’s one person that makes it all possible and worthwhile for me.

I hope y’all get to meet her sometime. She’s the kind of person that makes the world around her brighter every day.

Hey y'all, my favorite conference, @magnolia.boo , needs sponsors.

It has the best food, supports an under-served community, and as the inaugural costume contest winner, I can say it has the best costumes!

Sponsorships start at $500, so send this to your company:

Seriously one of the best Discord communities I’ve seen.
one of the biggest frustrations i have with myself is i can only talk to so many people in a day. thats why im so bullish on our discord. if you need ANY career help you can ask questions in the torc.dev/discord and have a ton of people help you.

There's a ridiculous number of good conferences happening this fall, not just in Europe, but across North America.

In-person events are back. 🥳

Here's a handful I recommend👇🏽

The @cascadiajs.com schedule is live! 🤩

There's so many great speakers and topics, and the ⚡️Lightning Talks are better than ever. I'll be giving my first lightning talk at a conference too!

If you're on the fence, I've got a discount code to share - just reply or DM me. ✌🏽
[Shipped] the full schedule for CascadiaJS 2025 🥳

There was too much to fit into a screenshot, so we did the scrolling for you.

7️⃣ straight days of goodness, starting with training from
@moonhighway.bsky.social on 9/15 and closing out our first ever hackathon on 9/21.
