There are A LOT of options these days for getting AI help right in your code editor. What seemed to begin with plugins has morphed into a lot of VS Code forks.

Kerning type is moving individual letters such that the space between them feels right. It’s not something you have to be terribly concerned about with web type generally, but it’s still a good design skill to have for working on type that is quite large or long-lasting like a physical sign, logo, giant headline, etc. […]

David Darnes asks: Is 2025 the Year of the ‘Design Engineer’? It’s arguably a bit of a new term and being used more and more as a job title. Like most job titles, it doesn’t have the strongest agreed upon definition, but it’s honing in around the front end and essentially a designer who can […]

The reason I get so excited about watching and covering Interop around here is because it works so darn well. A browser ecosystem with different engines and different UX but supporting interoperable and standards based code keeps us employed and sane.

Brian Muenzenmeyer on new(ish) things in Node: Through the efforts of contributors over several recent majors, great new features are landing. Each is useful in isolation, but put together they form a more and more comprehensive standard library. Do you need a 3rd party testing library like jest? Maybe, but there is a tester built […]
