View Transitions are enabled by default in Firefox Nightly, so they're on their way to stable. Give it a test with your current transitions, and give me a shout if anything doesn't look right.

Hot take: Stop following DRY so religiously.
I've seen more codebases destroyed by premature abstraction than by duplication. Sometimes copy-paste is the right answer.

Duplication Is Not the Enemy
We’re taught to eliminate duplication at all costs. But the wrong abstraction is far more expensive than a little copy-paste. Here’s why.

Fantastic explanation of the challenges of developing in a codebase over time
My fave line: “Every new requirement makes it slightly worse, but never quite bad enough to justify a complete rewrite.”

Val Town has always been inspired by @glitch.com - they paved the way for zero-config instantly-edited websites. It's a bummer that what brought so many people joy and was a great community for diverse communities is coming to an end
So: where does Val Town fit into this?

"Stable doesn't mean bug-free, or battle tested, it just means we can't change the API anymore".
As an open-source maintainer, this quote by @tkdodo.eu resonates profoundly.
Help out maintainers and try out beta/RC versions while you still can influence them. 🙏

Those words are in quotes because that notion is kind of ridiculous. We all deserve it. None of us needs to earn it. When you are in your right might and capable of kindness you really should be kind. We didn't just fall out of a coconut tree or whatever
