Yoo I just saw this Dynamic view in Gemini. It just codes a fully functional website to teach me new concepts. A glimpse to a future of dynamic interface for whatever users are searching for.

This might be my favorite way to quickly learn anything now. Have Gemini apply 80/20 rule to extract key information and code a website to see them visually.

Architecture isn’t saved by patterns. It’s saved by people. Give ownership and the system will detangle itself.
*People* detangle a ball of mud | Swizec Teller
Ball of mud is the world's most popular software architecture. The one we all use at work. But it sucks to work with. So what do you do?

Spent 10 minutes with Gemini 3 Thinking. It definitely cooks with frontend landing page! Added subtle micro interaction and motions to be more appealing
It might have just finished a landing page for an idea I've been having in mind.

Thought it was weird, but it might make sense. AI is so disruptive in delivering results way faster than before, augmenting developers to solve more problems in a shorter time. Companies would encourage and reward employees that do take advantage of this.
Meta is about to start grading workers on their AI skills
Meta employee performance will be assessed by AI-driven impact starting in 2026, as the company prioritizes AI adoption across its workforce.

Lots of companies are putting UI on top of LLM text so users can digest information more easily. It makes responses feel less intimidating. Normal websites could benefit from the same idea since every user is looking for something slightly different.

If you use shadcn but don't know already, they have an MCP server so your AI can know what components you have available in the registry, fetch their documentations, and install the components. With the right prompt it can get you 80% of the way.

Just discovered TypeGPU. It's a TypeScript-first way to write GPU shaders and compute pipelines.
You stay in TypeScript, it auto-generates WGSL for WebGPU. 🔥
Perfect for experimenting with rendering, compute, and even AI inference in the browser.

After Apple Music Web was written in Svelte, the new App Store Web is also in Svelte!
Apple really likes Svelte for their web. They used to mention React and Angular in their job postings but not sure where those are used.

I like how there is an AI model for everyone.
“Omg Claude Code just one shot my feature”
“Thank you Codex for fixing the bug I’ve spent days on”
Choose the model and tool that suit you.

OpenAI released a new model, GPT-5-Codex, on Monday for agentic work.
It claims superior performance over GPT-5, with higher benchmark scores, improved refactoring accuracy, and enhanced frontend capabilities. I'll need a project to verify the frontend claims.

This is an interesting read on looking at React differently after working with Solid. It specifically mentions how different the rendering mechanism is. You need to tell Solid to re-render where React needs to be told not to.

I thought about it before just as a meme but didn't expect this to actually happen.

We have been relying on npm for package discovery and distributions.
JSR is created after realising:
- ESM is the standard
- More runtimes than node.js now
- TypeScript has become a standard and default for many projects
Interested to see how far it will go and if it will gain tractions.

JSR: the JavaScript Registry
JSR is the open-source package registry for modern JavaScript. JSR natively supports TypeScript, and works with all JS runtimes and package managers.

This new RippleJS looks like JSX but less brackets and can use if and for loop directly in JSX. $ makes variables reactive automatically with fine-grain rendering. It already has VSCode and Prettier support.
It takes the best thing from many frameworks into one.
