How to stand out when anyone can build anything | Anton Sten
When AI tools have democratized product creation, standing out isn't about better tools or flashier features—it's about fundamentally different skills that most people skip entirely.

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work.

This is very good. Practical examples of view transitions are importantly so people can see how to use them for real and how there’s no need to hand over all page management to a framework just to get a form field to move between subpages. Nice work @vale.rocks

View transitions are pretty neat, and I was fortunate enough to write a piece for @piccalil.li about putting them to work.
They're such an exciting new part of the web platform, and I'm elated to see new and boundary-pushing effects making their way into production.
