I ran Bazzite for all of two days before reluctantly reinstalling windows. It’s a great OS but nvidia bugs and fighting its immutability (which i do fully support) are not for me on a desktop.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again. @nextjs.org docs are just so good. Being able to flick between versions of docs during a migration is such a help.
New in Firefox nightly (146.0a1 2025-10-19): large lists of unused CSS custom properties are collapsed by default.
This not only reduces clutter, it also massively speeds up the rendering of the inspector panel in some cases.
Codebase updated to Next 16 in under an hour. I think that's a PB!
If you really want a better browser, Firefox is it.
Nice to see all of the functions I wrote about in my article on CSS functions reflected here.
I wonder if it inspired this 👀

Bluesky really do have great integrations. (AT Proto is mint!) I needed a quick and easy share on Bsky widget, and they have this no-nonsense approach which took about 2 minutes to implement: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...
Rather excited to see what happens with Payload and Figma. I'm building my site on Payload and it's absolutely lovely to work with.
I was just wishing last week that I could use nth indexing in CSS so it is amazing to see sibling-index and sibling count coming. Aaaaaand it can be used in calc()... Chef's kiss!!
It's going to be interesting watching what happens next month when European Accessibility Act (EAA) comes into effect and businesses (ecommerce and banks within EU) are required to comply with WCAG 2.x.
If there is no culture of accessible consideration within an organisation, then often the development team don't have the time to ensure accessibility, they likely have other priorities and focus. Change comes from the top.
With all the talk about a certain product having dreadful accessibility, it's important that as engineers we remember that semantic HTML is inherently accessible, so teams are often working away from A11y commit by commit.
It would be really useful (for my very specific and uncommon case 🫣) to be able to use CSS' 'n' value within a calc().
I found an interesting discussion on the CSSWG about it as a proposal. github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
The return of Webrings was not on my 2025 Bingo list.

Really enjoying Blue Prince, it’s one of the best couch coop games we have played since It Takes Two. www.blueprincegame.com
It must be Friday. I have 1 out of 100 components that for whatever reason does not want to work with CSS Modules in a Next app... Storybook (which inherits its config from Next works perfectly 🙄)
Not sure if related, but I haven't had a coffee this afternoon...
I found something I considered impossible but decided to see if ChatGPT could find a way around it, and it spent an hour making things up...
LLMs just cannot bring themselves to say "it's not possible" or "I don't know" can they, even when prompted to.
The carbon footprint of that is wild.

You love to see it!
Source: Creating a list of links in a very popular note-taking app and watching it hallucinate Titles. (the scary thing here are some of the generated titles included names of the site engineers (which are not public, nor do they exist in the source code...)
At times, AI "assistance" is like looking after a young niece or nephew.
They try so hard to help out but ultimately end up making a mess on the floor, and after they have gone you have to clean up and finish the task yourself.
As someone that didn't play the Last Of Us Part 2, I was not ready for last nights episode (neither the action or the drama).
I can't wait to see where this goes.
Spending my weekend debugging the myth of "self-documented code". It's the Loch Ness Monster of the development world. Even with my magnifying glass, it remains unseen.
Just a picture of Beans to brighten your morning.
This is as smooth as butter. The art direction and storytelling is unbelievably good too. Top stuff.
