If you have a css reset with this code html { box-sizing: border-box; } *,*:before,*:after { box-sizing: inherit; } It does not work with elements like `<details>`, I guess because of internal shadow dom. But the `<summary>` element will not get the border-box set.

To the react engineers in the 2010s/2020s who fooled everyone into thinking running tests in the browser was too slow, I kinda hate you. JSDOM is so cursed. I've spent collectively more time debugging BS jsdom issues than I ever would have "lost" from a browser

I didn't think I'd still be doing Advent of Code on day 14. Part two was a very festive puzzle today! I've learnt lots of Go this month and re-learned lots of maths I'd forgotten in previous days

I wanted to like react-aria-components but they've almost implemented their own platform on top of the web, breaking events, broken and buggy magic with clicks based on pixel positions, and much more. If building a design system rule out this solution, especially if it's buttons

The thing I use copilot chat the most for is converting my typescript react components to add a forward ref, can't wait for that syntax to die in React 19, it's so horrible

The amount of time I've wasted because people thought it was "faster" to debug DOM strings in console log far outways the imagined "slowness" of just unit testing in a browser. JSDOM + Jest needs to die

📰 Today, I write about patching globals, why it's so appealing, and five reasons that make it a bad API design. I really think you should read it. Huge thanks to @leeerob and @ljharb for helping me proofread this one. kettanaito.com/blog/why-patch…

📣 We're excited to announce High Performance SQLite, a video course coming in June. You can't have a fast app with a slow database! But database education isn't really made for the modern developer. With help from @tursodatabase, we're going to change that.
