It’s hard to imagine how this is even possible on the web, but it is, and we should celebrate that.

I often fall into the thinking the "fullstack" was a condemnation of "frontend", but what if it was just an admonition that there are very few "backend" devs that actually want to do their own jobs... 🤔

Writing tests this Tuesday morning. 😁

Forgot how nice it is to _be sure_ the code your team writes works!

@samhenrigold In feature review...

Hrm, *flings around and rotates details sheet*, possessing of more interacting that specified, that's an... _upgrade_.

Ship it!

Maybe it's not even a "security thing", my iPhone 12 Pro goes right up to cooking eggs temperature just streaming one camera into the browser while Android chugs along with both like nothing is happening. Maybe #apple just can't make hardware like it used to? 🤔

westbrook @westbrook.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy · 6d

So, #webkit is it some sort of esoteric security issue that prevents me from streaming multiple device cameras in iOS Safari? 🥺 Really wanting to work through a prototype for my team with that feature. Looks like I’ll have to switch to supporting Android users…only. #browserban @owa

The canceling of ICEBlock is more evidence, were any needed, that the Web is the platform of the future, the only platform without a controlling vendor. Anything controversial should be available through a pure browser interface.

The things we can do differently here look like they'll apply nicely to product development at a company level, just as nicely as they will specification development at the browser level.

@westbrook Uh sorry 😂 here is the first and more serious bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298646

298646 – Anchoring a pseudo element to a slotted element in a Shadow DOM causes browser crash

bugs.webkit.org

westbrook @westbrook.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy · 9d

@zacky I think you accidentally pasted the same bug twice. 🙃

Already super helpful. I don't think we're using `transition-behavior: allow-discrete;` in this situation just yet, but that's definitely a nice next step. Hopefully it's fixed, soon! 🙏

westbrook @westbrook.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy · 9d

@zacky Are they like the ones in <18.4 where specific _selectors_ cause the whole page to crash? That’s what we seal off with the above.

Also, happen to have a list of those bugs you’re avoiding in Anchor Positioning? 😅

This is some hot CSS and HTML coming to life here!

```
@supports (not (font: -apple-system-body)) or (clip-path: shape(from right center, close)) {}
```

Thanks, WebKit! Thanks, a lot.

@kizu This is NOT what you're talking about, but you said "render props" and this is a form of that: https://github.com/webcomponents-cg/community-protocols/blob/main/proposals/slottable-request.md

There's also imperative slot assignment […]

This is indeed the worst history both not for the reasons people think and for those reasons to mixed percentage. Woah!

Is this lack of preparation an emergency? 🦋

I need a sign for this...so I can tap the sign when people need to remember.

I just needed to tap it for a colleague. Might not have tapped it if there were a way to make "CSS Resets" lower priority that `:host` rules, but alas...

The Simpsons meme saying "Don't make me tap the sign"... the sign says "!important is a TOOL not an anti-pattern".

I love being reminded how much more work it is to AVOID doing things right on the web than to just let things work the way they are supposed to... 🤣
