The other day I got an email from somebody who said he found a website that cannot be debugged.

Web developers nowadays have full insight into how browsers work.

It seems to me that we’ve come full circle back to when I started as a web developer.

One of the GPT-4 demos made a massive splash: painting a web app on a napkin and getting the “AI” to create the HTML, CSS and JS to make it work.

We have a skewed image of what we should be as developers. And more and more people get depressed and feel bad because of it.

After 25 years of working for, on and with the web, I am looking at the current state of it and I don’t like it.

There is no doubt that, besides the Elements tool, Console is the most used part of the browser developer tools.

A lot of excellent accessibility advice never gets distributed beyond the initial audience.

A few days ago I posted a graph I found some time ago that jokingly explained the benefits of subtitles in movies and tweeted about it.

Browsers come with developer tools built-in and these have great accessibility testing features.

About eight years ago Bret Victor tried to change the way developer tools work by providing a faster and simpler way from creation to consumption.

A few weeks ago Chris Ferdinandi wrote an ode to HTML called Always bet on HTML in which he once again praises the benefits of HTML.

Sometimes it is fun to re-visit very basic HTML things and look what we can do with them nowadays.

This is the article version of a talk I gave at Web Unleashed in Toronto and Halfstack in Vienna.

One of my favourite parts of CSS is the !important exception.

One of the amazing things about the web used to be its simplicity.

Over on Jonathan Snook's blog we have a pretty good debate about a controversial tweet by Tom Dale.
