The current narrative around AI in tech misses a fundamental reality: humans have biological limits.

Coding Font is a fun bracket game that you can use to find your favorite coding font. I got JetBrains Mono. I think it has a lot of character, and the ligatures are great.

The next time you begin your workday, try this: clear your work surface completely. Close all browser tabs. Create a fresh page in your notebook. Open only the one file you need.

You can code only 4 hours per day, but don't worry, you're only using 52 minutes.

Agency is the ability to hold the entire [development] loop in your head and act on it...

There's a lot more to creating good software than code.

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said that tokens are now a recruiting tool (and he wants to give engineers half their salary in tokens).

I can't state it as well as Barry's Economics, but this video has a lot of good stuff to say about "the science of learned helplessness, social tipping points, and why your brain is catastrophically underestimating the power of what you can actually do."

Vibe coding is powerful and fun, but to develop high-quality software you need an engineer in the loop.

"The written word earned its authority because it preserved ideas. But also because it seemed to carry the trace of a person behind them. That authority is now being weakened by AI that can generate language without the lived experience or the cognitive burden that once stood behind the words."

You can run WordPress in the browser with the WordPress Playground (using Web Assembly). That's pretty impressive!

In an AI‑accelerated world where anyone can clone a product in days, the only startups that survive are the ones that accumulate advantages that compound over time.

I've been working on a native HTML+CSS pattern library, covering about 60 different components. One thing I noticed as I worked my way through the list is how often the Popover API came up. Specifically, in popovers, tooltips, hover cards, and context menus.
