I think this will be a deceptively big deal. It will change how we write HTML to the DOM, and likely have a big impact on HTMX and similarly projects. https://wicg.github.io/sanitizer-api/

This is absolutely brilliant. Quotes from a couple decades of Hacker News about new projects that seemed dumb at the time. https://hackernews.love

Every great project was once called a bad idea

A two-decade retrospective of launches Hacker News dismissed. And what happened next.

🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.

Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.

The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.

I didn't anticipate hailing Ben Affleck as an astute critic of AI. There are parallels for software developers. The ability to write an effective function or even a whole subsystem is not comparable to writing an app. Great apps require an epic amount of human editing, just like great films do. https://www.threads.com/@forrestpknight/post/DTnlnzAjuAb

Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense. Great takes across the board.

This article provides the perfect view into React brain worms:

Instead of a native HTML input radio element

It’s somehow easier to import hundreds of lines of code, and implement a faux radio button (that’s actually a button with svg to LOOK LIKE A RADIO), and ARIA rules (to WORK LIKE A RADIO)

Wow. AI has utterly destroyed StackOverflow. It's back down to the volume it has right after launch. https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph

Mac tip: If you can’t remember where a command is in the menu bar:
❶ Use Shift+⌘+/ (question mark) to get the Help menu.
❷ Type a few letters until you see the command you want.
❸ Arrow down to it and trigger with Return.
➜ You also get to see where the command is located for the next time.
