Interesting read. Say what you like about the agentic web (and I definitely have thoughts!), but I'm also not convinced that semantic HTML is all that's needed here. We have APIs to make it easier for computers to read data and no one's suggesting they scapre semantic <table>s instead.

tech these days requires you to answer the question: 👉 what kind of person am I going to be? in contrast, in the past you had to answer the question: 👉 what kind of person am I going to be?

Why are all your bones S-shaped? Maybe this injury will turn out to be blessing and you can get that entire freaky foot sorted out?

With sympathetic thoughts,

Great slides! From what looks like it was a great talk. Would have loved to have been there to see this talk live but think I get at least some sense of it from the slides.

Remember Internet Explorer’s “Page Transitions”?

Well, they’re back, thanks to the View Transition API!

→ Blog post: brm.us/page-transit...
→ Demo site: page-transitions.style

The project leverages IE’s meta tags so browser support is not limited to Modern Browsers™ but also includes IE 5.5–8.0 😆

"The people holding up the internet"

A good-looking but somewhat depressing exposé about the people holding up current digital infrastructure as a hobby.

JPEG XL shipped in Chrome 155 today, try it out!

Huge kudos to Luca and team for getting this done. Image codecs are cool in so many levels, and I'm super impressed by the people who make that magic happen.
