New website launch day! 📮 I handcrafted a super simple new site for myself to better showcase what I do and have a future home for experiments I may want to tinker with. Designed in the browser…

We made a small modification to the leaderboards this time: for scaling and maintenance reasons (this list now includes over 1100 web sites!) the results will only show sites that have scored 400 on Lighthouse. Thanks y’all!

The @socket.dev folks have quickly fixed this!

We have already pushed a fix for this and are clearing out our backlog. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

dunning-kruger is so hot right now

We understand that this is an extension of “do your own research” mentality, right? Access to information has convinced us that everyone is now a generalist and by extension that all generalists can be specialists (without scrutiny or peer review)

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Update: looks like a huge flaw somewhere in the vulnerability scanner code being used by these tools (it doesn’t support namespaced packages)

Why does socket.dev report that the latest version of next.js has a malware dependency? socket.dev/npm/package/...

“Malicious code in gen-mapping (npm) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.”

New v3.0.1-alpha.5 🐀 core pre-release available for testing: github.com/11ty/elevent... includes build and install performance wins, a reduction of node_modules from 27MB to 21MB, a bunch of Dev Server fixes and more!

This very useful, very durable, and ultimately very portable content is #BuiltWithEleventy 🏆

You might know us from the guides we have put together, like the de-risking guide and the UX guide. Governments all around the world have used them to make services more accessible and add more value to the public — all while saving millions of dollars. You can still find them here: 18f.org/guides/

The GOV​.UK Publishing Design Guide is #BuiltWithEleventy: design-guide.publishing.service.gov.uk

via insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2025/02/25/c...

Welcome to GOV.UK
GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

I might suggest modifications to the “Limited availability” and “Newly available” tags to include language about whether a feature is progressive enhancement friendly or not!

Consider `accent-color` (Not Baseline) vs. CSS Nesting (Baseline 2023).

Browser compatibility is only a small piece: it’s more important to consider the role it plays and how progressive-enhancement friendly it is.

CSS Nesting requires cross-browser ubiquity: `accent-color` is much safer!

Let’s talk about why Baseline browser compatibility doesn’t tell a complete story about whether or not a feature can be used “safely” by developers.

If you’re in the US federal government and facing blocked news web sites on gov’t hardware — apropos of nothing I might remind folks about Google’s official proxy browser (aka Google Translate).

translate.google.com?op=websites

Works great when you translate a language into the same language.

the neat thing about someone flooding bluesky with bots is that both supporters and opponents of bluesky both have an incentive to allow it weeeeeeeeeee
