In case anyone's wondering, this website's syntax highlighting color scheme is called "gruvbox", which I quite like but took an embarrassingly long time to track down https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox
it's also available in vscode

#92What were the biggest architectural changes in the rewrite, and what tradeoffs did you make compared to the old Video.js design?

#9388% reduction is wild. Did most of that come from eliminating dependencies or rewriting core components from scratch?
Opening the article and reading beyond the title would answer that question.

#94Sibling comment didn't elaborate, but I think they might be onto something.
It happened to me personally - LLMs and agentic coding tools enabled me to pick up old side projects and actually finish them. Some of these projects were in the drawer for years, and when Sonnet 4 released I gave them another try and got up to speed really quickly. I suspect this happened to many developers.

Absolutely the case for me. Small fun projects that would take a few hours to round off a feature can now be done in an hour. Why wouldn't i finish it off?

Any idea what the website's built with? I really like the design/UI tbh
