Thanks!
I’m organising the competition so I can’t actually compete 🙂
Everybody else was having fun so I wanted in

If people like using AI code agents they absolutely should. I have no problem with that.

If you don’t like working that way, then don’t. You are not missing out.

We have data on the productivity benefits of AI coding tools and it is negligible.

This needs to be shared and liked by every developer who is tired of being told they have to learn the latest AI Code Agent or be out of a job.

—Who thinks "token use" is the single dumbest engineering metric ever invented.

If you think the AI hype right now is BS you are not alone.

@graphql.org is great.

@graphql.org with a visual query builder right in your editor is absolutely magical 🪄 🦄

Go try it today.

Nordcraft @nordcraft.com · 1d

Nordcraft now has built in support for @graphql.org 🚀

If there ever was a perfect match between two technologies It has to be Nordcraft and Graphql. The two were meant for eachother. ❤️

The Bad UX World Cup is accepting entries for 2025. You have to design and build a deliberately awful date picker component.

To be honest, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some non-ironic date pickers in production that could win this thing! 🤣

There are so many good ones, but you still can’t beat calc().

That is great for developers. Not for people building css parsers ;)

Named arguments or positional?

How about no names and whatever order you feel like?

In an early version of @nordcraft.com I accidentally turned on a feature flag the let people write css instead of using the style panel.

Users loved it so much that we had to keep it.

Now we have to support all the ridiculous ways you can write the same css property 🤦‍♂️

Great read on css colours

Kevin Powell @kevinpowell.co · 2d

Are you the type of dev who just copies and pastes hex codes?

If so, I've written an article over at @piccalil.li just for you!

I take a look at some of the new CSS colour features that are most useful for those who don't really care about colours.

You can use comma separated values or spaces. If you use spaces then the alpha value should be separated by a /

And units are optional.

Is there a war going on between the CSS working group and the people who write css parsers?
