I think I need to push back more on he concept of mobile when designs come back- and focus on having designers consider the whole picture- because on a desktop, in a small width viewport, horizontal scroll is clunky without a trackpad

Prepping my Death of the Browser talk for @futurefrontend.bsky.social in Helsinki next week. It's never the same talk twice! This one focuses more on what web devs can do to lean into (or out of) agentic and LLM use.

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

Two weeks ago, I was in Paris, presenting "Node.js will use all the memory available, and that's ok!" at dotJS. Quite a few people asked me if I planned to write a blog and document my findings.

Chrome 136+ ships a new V8 version that supports a "compile hint", which makes V8 parse and compile all functions in that file eagerly.
Great for entry points – where you know all functions will very likely be used. Less so as 'one weird trick to make all your JS faster'.

If you write code to make websites (HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, Media) and you get frustrated trying to wrangle your code to work in Safari, which bugs are blocking you? Which existing features would you most like to see improved? If you got a chance to order priorities which effort would you put first?

This deepseek situation demonstrates the underwhelming, wasteful output of the western tech industry perfectly.
It’s all built for making billionaires richer and that’s why it’s burning you out.
