Wrote some more about how we're using AI @_HouseofGiants We had a massive amount of HoG history to throw at our company brain. And the very AI brained thing to do would have been to shove all of it into the system and call that memory. I almost went that direction, because it feels productive. You have a folder full of old work, the agent can search it, and the dumb little voice in your head starts going, hell yeah, company brain. That wasn't the case 👇 xitter.cf/Magnificode/status/206…

Lil walkthrough of the progress() CSS property. Excellent for handling fluid typography.
60
Took a look at the progress() property today. Fluid typography is getting easier and easier to manage. Cool to be able to more easily pin it to the container width too.
Code screenshot of a CSS snippet in a dark editor window titled progress.css. A .card rule sets container-type: inline-size. A .card h3 rule declares --p: progress(100cqi, 240px, 600px), with a comment reading "0 at 240px, 1 at 600px, 0.5 at 420px", then font-size: calc(1.25rem + var(--p) * 1.75rem). Footer reads magnificode, LAB, dommagnifi.co/lab/progress.

Check out the full post and demo 👇 dommagnifi.co/lab/progress/

progress(): the number fluid type was hiding

CSS progress() turns "how far is this value between two bounds" into a plain 0 to 1 number. Fluid type without the algebra, and one declaration that can drive size, color, and motion.

PHP Factories were always better than AI factories will ever be. Prove me wrong.

I too have been exceptionally impressed with the quality of code coming out of Opus 5.5...

I know this happens every time, but it is genuinely hard for me to imagine what a model better than Opus 5.5 will look like

It's funny to see software you've used for a decade ship more updates in the past 6 months than they did in the previous nine and half years as they slow roll AI best practices into their teams.

Renaming AI to SI is almost as dumb as renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America...

Made a real-time presentation coach with Jev. It listens as you present, follows your slides and notes, and keeps track of what’s still left to say.

I feel like I'm being trolled every time I read about Jev.

Like, if I look into it at all someone's going to jump through my window and be like "LOL YOU THOUGHT JEV WAS A REAL THING PEOPLE ARE USING YOU DESPERATE IDIOT"

What’s the saying? If you run into one asshole, they’re an ass hole. If everyone you run into is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

Founder advice: If you don't have a coup attempt every few years, you're not hiring strong enough leaders.

looking at all the stuff programmers have been building since AI unleashed them is a great reminder of why product people exist

Just sat down by this sick ass church that was built in 1550 and took 256 years to be completed so I can check on the clankers I tasked with all my work for the day. Normal Sunday.

I’ve felt this too, almost to my detriment. It feels like if you’re not constantly sending an agent out to do something you’re not being productive. Which feels dangerous in a field where we already had that whole like “if your job is also not your passion you’re not a real developer” conversation.

I used to listen to so many podcasts and books, filling in small amounts of time between different things that I'm doing. Now that time is filled by sending quick prompts to agents to get work done. As much as it feels productive to do that, my podcast list keeps growing and I kind of miss listening to those things. It's really hard to not prompt though.

I think we get lost in the existential aspect of all this AI shit a lot, which makes it hard to remember this. It's so much easier than it's ever been to produce more, good code. Build things you never had time to build. Experiment, and learn. As long as you put the effort into those things. We do live in fascinating times.
