Excellent talk on how to better use AI coding agents with complex tasks, especially in big codebases.

Solution: "Context Engineering"

Keep context lean. Consistently compact what the agent knows. Follow Research, Plan, Implement to guide them.

This is going to be a HUGE help for developing the Polaris Web Components. We used adopted style sheets heavily for applying component styles 🙌
New in Chrome DevTools in Chrome 144: we now show the Adopted Style Sheets in the Elements tree.

This is such a great idea. I just chose and ranked my favorite 15 features in the list—primarily CSS and HTML features of course. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

What are yours?
