So @raunofreiberg just asked me why there was a 1px wide 'background.png' image on a site archive we were looking at and I feel nine hundred years old 😭
« Byte-identical », one of Claude’s favorite expressions, becomes « bit-à-bit identique » when you talk to it in French and I thought y’all should know.
My friend and former coworker @LukyVJ is open to freelance missions. He's one of the top most creative people I know, with an exceptional eye for detail, and he is a delight to work with.
DM or tag him for projects 📨
I’m open to new freelance missions.
E-com, landing pages, product/community websites, dashboards, email automation, and custom front-end.
UX, responsive, animations, perf, tracking, launch.
Recent work: esmee-espritlibre.com, design-meetup.com, getskillify.dev

Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.
Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.
The replies are wild. Folks jump straight to the technical part and miss how much mastery goes into knowing what makes a thoughtful scenario, what to emphasize or simplify, and the effort it takes to execute well.
Not because you know the recipe means you can cook a 3-star dish.

Ok, this is insanely cool.
🚨SOMEONE REINVENTED HOW TEXT RENDERS ON THE WEB AND ITS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
the goated dev behind react, reasonML, and midjourney’s frontend, just dropped Pretext. a tiny typescript library that measures and lays out text 500x faster than the DOM.
he trained models against real browser rendering for weeks until the output matched safari, chrome, and firefox exactly.
the demos are insane!! hundreds of thousands of text boxes at 120fps. magazine layouts and chat bubbles that actually wrap right.
engineers from Vercel, Remix, Figma, and shadcn all cosigned. this is the kind of open source that makes you want to be a better dev.
here are some cool demos in the past 24hrs👇

Being part of the staff of #ReactParis from @BeJS_ this year was amazing!
So good to see all that energy flowing in the room; I'm really happy for all the friends I've seen and can't wait for the next one!
@frontstuff_io @tejask @Una @spontoreau @figma @o_jilla @Aymen_Ben_Amor
Impressive learnings from the Payfit migration from microfrontends to monorepo and platformization.
Not just metrics, but the process of earning trust and proving value over mandates. Bravo @beaussan ! #ReactParis
How to share UI and behavior at scale with different data restrictions? Taylor Quinn-Bohmann touches on module federation, and how to treat the frontend as a platform instead of a collection of isolated applications. #ReactParis
Insanely great talk on how to achieve the Apple Liquid Glass effect in the browser 🤯 And this is @KubeKhrm’s FIRST TALK! Way to go! #ReactParis
The quality of AI training data means AI-generated React code can get littered with anti-patterns.
@choubari_ goes through them and shares the right habits to adopt to avoid turning your codebase into a nightmare. #ReactParis
Fascinating talk by @gabrielpichot on the problems we keep on having, no matter how modern our stack becomes.
Try his domainlint CLI and pass the output to your coding agent to fix. #ReactParis
Little Big Things: Building A Great UX With Modern CSS with the one and only @Una 🥳 #ReactParis
You can equally be enthusiastic about generative AI, and find it unsufferable that this is all everyone talks about and thinks about.
Coding agents are commoditizing the skills we built our identity on. I wrote about what that means, why it hurts, and what might be on the other side.
