My career turns 20 this summer.

Introducing 🤯 flex-wrap: balance 🤯
Would you use this?
⚠️ Not a real feature yet, just something one of our engineers has been working on.
(You can try it out in the latest Chrome Canary with the experimental web platform features flag though!)

This is how I see it too. At every company I’ve worked at, we had all these ideas for things we wanted to do, but only like 20% of it got done because we had an engineering bottleneck.
If each dev is 2x as productive (let’s just say), I don’t think that means you’d want 50% fewer devs.

Will tools like Windsurf result in fewer software engineers?

The Hidden Cost of AI Coding
AI coding tools boost productivity but may sacrifice the flow state and deep satisfaction developers experience when writing code by hand. What are we losing?

More performant than other anim libraries out there! It beats Motion in 99% cases, WAAPI in lots of cases yet Julian added an api layer to facilitate its usage, and toes to toes with gsap - outperforming it in many cases like interacting with other libraries like three.js 🔥🔥
After 5 years in the making, I'm very happy to finally release Anime.js v4, my dream animation library:
🧩 New modular API
⚡️ Highly performant
🖱️ Scroll-linked animations
🫵 Draggables
↔️ Responsive
✨ Additive animations
🪽 WAAPI support
And so much more!
