Honestly this video confuses me
am I supposed to feel sympathy for the AI agent that it has to "wake up" without memories and do tasks for us humans?
I'm not sure I get the point of this sketch 🤔🤷♂️

Panda CSS v2 is officially here @panda__css 🐼🔥
We’ve been working on this for a long time, and we’re excited to finally share it with you
It's a faster and more powerful Panda for teams building and scaling design systems
🐼 Go check it out, build something and ship with Panda → panda-css.com/
What if we frame this differently:
AI agents give us back precious time to do meaningful non-coding things in life while still shipping more quality features than before AI
I don't think we need to be 100x more productive just because we can
Spot on!
It's ironic that Tailwind basically requires a heavy css-in-js dependency to be usable in most apps
AI sure looves to write mocks and spies in tests 🙃
Codebase can turn into total mockfest if you are not paying attention
I'm gonna feel so vindicated when devs finally realize that built-time atomic css-in-js solutions like StyleX and PandaCSS are the 🐐
After about a ~decade with atomic CSS frameworks (BuzzFeed Solid, Basscss, and then finally Tailwind), I think I'm convinced now that Stylex is superior for agents.
Stylex constraints lead to greater consistency and correctness as your codebase grows. I do still think Tailwind is the ideal human DSL for styling, but in a world where I'm barely touching CSS/class names by hand, the tradeoffs have changed. Again, if I were still hand writing code, Tailwind still wins, but we're not doing that anymore.
This is such a daft take 🤦
Shadcn sure is cool but far from foundational to React's success
I think people don’t realize how much of the success of React is actually @shadcn.
I once referred to React as the actual “LEGO brick for adults.” But in reality it was more the description of the geometry of the bricks. The spec.
Shadcn is what people actually wanted from React. Reusable high quality components that also tunable. It’s a pseudo-library. There’s code but it’s actually meant to be digested into your context window and remixed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
React was open-sourced in 2013 and dominant for years before shadcn/ui launched in January 2023. Other UI libraries predated it.

I'm feeling very anxious about the effects of AI in software consulting
It seems that AI is forcing unrealistic expectations to consultants from customers as they demand lower budgets and shorter deadlines citing efficiency gains from AI
I'm worried what happens to quality...
unexpected aspect of AI agents is that the output quality for some devs I work with is prob gonna be higher than before because they never rly cared about code quality so if I'm able to introduce good AI skills and strict lint rules the final quality (hopefully) will be better 🤞
been watching all the AI stuff from the sides on my parental leave
finally decided to give Github Copilot Desktop app a try (due to pre-existing work sub)
wow it's veeery good
might turn me from a somewhat skeptic to cautiously optimistic
Recommended read!
A refreshingly in-depth technical article in today's world full of clanker generated slop content
Finally got @amadeus to write about what goes into making our diffs so special.
A love letter to FE development: web workers, WASM, novel virtualization and memory management techniques, and more.
Fun read if you're a perf geek and hate blanking.
