Elena is a simple, tiny library for building Progressive Web Components.

Moving poem about what we can miss when using AI

One physician's personal journey led to a new non-device approach for treating OSA. Can it help patients who can't tolerate CPAP?

Just what I need for recipe nutrition search

Web components interop with frameworks requires bridging the gap between HTML attributes/DOM events (the web component API) and framework-specific reactivity systems (props, synthetic events, templates).

A clear explanation of the push-pull algorithm used in Signals, my favorite fine-grained reactivity mechanism. (Which may soon become a native Javascript feature!)

That pinball game that shipped with old Windows installations lives on for Linux users!

There is a type of South American vine Boquila trifoliata aka chameleon vine that mimics the shape, size, texture, and color of leaves from nearby plants - including fake plastic plants! And how it does this is mostly a mystery. It's the only known polymorphic mimic in the plant kingdom. Amazing.

A critical look at web defaults, arguing that web performance is capable of essentially matching native performance when the right approach is taken but this approach often requires deep knowledge or extra work, because the most performant settings are not the defaults (as they are in native environments). Compelling.

Finally a good way to generate PDFs

Trying to understand LLMs by using the rules of human psychology is like trying to understand a game of Scrabble by using the rules of Pictionary. These things don’t act like people because they aren’t people.

We are in dire need of a better metaphor. Here’s my suggestion: instead of seeing AI as a sort of silicon homunculus, we should see it as a bag of words.

Modern React has moved beyond overusing useEffect. Discover the Hook patterns that enable cleaner logic, fewer bugs, and scalable architecture in 2026.

Interruptions, recovery time, and task size: three numbers that determine if you'll get real work done. Interactive visualizations show the math behind bad days.

Here's a homemade stovetop mac and cheese recipe that's only about 10 percent more cumbersome to make than the blue box and tastes far, far better.

A lightweight system for measuring engineering productivity that puts the overhead on managers, not engineers—using changelogs, standups, and visibility over surveillance.

Your product's core abstractions determine whether new features compound into a moat or just add to a feature list. Here's how to get it right.
