My opinion is next.js is not a good FW. But my opinion doesn't matter, as it's really popular, devs like the DX (I don't understand that too), which tells you they're all after packaged solutions rather than setting up stuff.

I think the success of next.js and others says a different story. Most people want something structured, and don't want to setup things themselves. And all the training data on those FWs helps.

๐ŸŽจ Meet rcap in CSS

The rcap unit represents the cap height of the root element's font - perfect for typography-based layouts that scale consistently.

Great for responsive designs that respect user font preferences.

x86CSS x86CSS is a working CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator/computer. No JavaScript required!

How long before a transpiling frontend framework targets css instead of js?

The Unbelievable Scale of AIโ€™s Pirated-Books Problem Meta pirated millions of books to train its AI. Search through them here.

Well meta took some books off LibGen it seems:

Ok Color Picker Pick colors using the Okhsv and Okhsl color spaces (based on Oklab).

Someone built it: ok-color-picker.netlify.app

I think it should be free text with self correcting and like an autocomplete when it's ambiguous. Also relative time would be nice addition if we went down that path. (Video from x.com/thomasauros/...). IF we could get this in native HTML that'd be awesome.

My brain is still in cylinderical colorspaces. I wish we had okhsl yet.

Anchor positioning, stylable selects, scroll and animations features. It's getting good!

Is usage based on tokens? Why don't they write the tokens I get for the plan?

I think claude's $20 plan limits has reduced a lot.

I feel like there is no transparency around what we are getting for the money

Kimi K2.5 (directly from moonshot with their kimi coder) is faster than opus 4.5 and good (not sure if it's as good as opus yet). You can't opt out of data being used for training.

Opencode Zen paid version isn't used for training, but quiet slow for me (worse than opus).

Customizing claude code a bit:

1. Added a hook to show a gnome notification when it's done coding (only if I am not focused on that window)

2. Statusline (not sure why this isn't OOTB really)

Interestingly CC's vscode extension has also improved a lot since it's initial release.

I am writing documentation and commiting it to git for the first time. We used to do this in external tools like confluence

And lint rules like useExhaustiveDependencies just makes it worse. Really I think AI will never figure out reactivity fully with or without react. Esp react model doesn't make it easier.

Someday you'll be able to reprogram your own brain.

And people will vibe code it in --dangerously-skip-permissions mode and brick themselves.
