    I love the line “This friction synchronizes people.” Part of the understanding that is missed being learned by the team are the failure modes: how can this system fail and how cata…

    Yet another example where using and with zero JavaScript would be a better user experience. If you are going to write custom code you have to clear the minimum bar of what the brow…

    Thanks for your honest thoughts. It bothers me because there’s many places to check all the time. It seems every tool has an inbox and wants to send me notifications about it. I ha…

    > if you can use AI to achieve full test coverage, are there actual benefits in static typing for coding agents? Full test coverage doesn’t tell you if the tests behave correctly. …

    It definitely wasn’t “working great”, I’ve now fixed a bug in the event system that was causing loops. The performance should be improved now. Yes, accessibility is a key concern o…

    Thanks, I had shipped a bug in the event system. The performance should be much improved now.

    I’ve found canvas + WebAssembly works great together! Here’s an example of Sudoku running in WebAssembly (it was vibe coded in Zig) and then rendered to canvas. The interface betwe…

    Exactly, this is why I’m using AI to write C or Zig that compiles to WebAssembly. The purpose of a scripting language was to make authoring easier, but now it’s mostly a middle lay…

    In a world of AI coding it seems like we can create or copy almost anything. So after some denial I’m thinking let’s embrace that and bring back “view source”. qip lets you write t…

    The allocation of each object still has overhead though, even if they all live side-by-side. You get memory overhead for each value. A Uint8Array is tailor-made for an array of byt…

    WebAssembly is particularly attractive for agentic coding because prompting it to write Zig or C is no harder than prompting it to write JavaScript. So you can get the authoring sp…
