Wattenberger frequently breaks my brain with some of their incredibly well-reasoned and unique ideas, and this talk from AI Engineer Summit is no exception. The core ideas being introduced are around …

I always forget what closures are, even if I continue to use them. The article makes a case for considering closures as stateful functions which is quite neat. Basically, closures allow a …

Month in media is an archived project, now with a permanent home in the Reviews section. Films, TV shows, books, video games, and other media watched, read, or played in November 2017.

A great explanation of why two-pass rendering is a useful mental model to consider when working with server-side rendering/SSGs like Gatsby and JavaScript frameworks. The main point? …

Notes from the fully remote React Summit 2020 (or at least the talks I tuned in for). Lots covered, from static-site generators and the Jamstack through to React state management and accessibility. What a fun day!

Two months after Disney+ launched I'm still a huge fan of the content catalogue but swing between feeling bemused and exasperated at the actual experience of using the service.

A pretty exhaustive overview of the HTML and CSS options that we now have for responsive image layouts. Here are some key …

Notes from the 2020 Jamstack Conf. Some interesting dives in the Jamstack community and various applications of Jamstack technologies, with tweet threads as usual.

Another month, another big and fully remote JavaScript conference. JSNation fit into my schedule a little less (and didn't quite overlap with my interests as neatly) but it was a fun event with some interesting talks on topics that are often only on my periphery. Much to think about!

I've never understood the appeal of TailwindCSS. I've watched friends and colleagues get amped for it, seen their code, and just felt like it was a meaningless abstraction of the existing technology. …

I find navigating the type options in React (and decoding what they actually do/mean) really difficult. It's layers of abstractions on top of layers of more abstractions 😄 Luckily, this guide …

I'm not sure I agree fully with everything Jared has written here – and there's a strong feeling of bias-tinted vision to some of the claims – but I enjoyed the overall trend of the argument and …

Sara proposes some broader microformats support for media consumption, beyond the existing u-watch-of. The existing option does little to differentiate the type of content (YouTube versus …

Using pseudo-selectors like :where and :not to invert style rules, allowing for better code encapsulation and context sharing across a codebase.

2023 was another BIG year in terms of, well, everything. We travelled all over the world. We attended scores of major events. And we got married. It's taken a while to write up, as a result!

The Arc browser recently added an auto-summarisation feature to its search. The result is a mash of misinformation and content theft, which Ben argues (and I fully agree) will ultimately create an …

Remy has some good arguments for why TypeScript can be just as much of an issue as it is a benefit. I've personally got a love/hate relationship with the abstraction, so it's always good to have some …

I needed to throw together a quick presentation for an internal team meeting at work, but I've maxed out my Slides.com free usage and really hate Google's offering, so went digging for something …
