Devs discovering PHP again

I really like this, going to send it to my friends and family in education.

“Web performance is an unalloyed good. No one has ever complained that a website is too fast.” adactio.com/journal/20154

I really want Pending Beacon to work out. This has the potential to be so much better for RUM collection.

Noticed the new Rivian electric Amazon delivery van in our neighborhood for the first time this week.

HTMX is the jQuery of today - ideally over time browsers adopt the features they provide, making them needed less and less - in five years it would be great if I could do most of what HTMX does without loading additional JavaScript #htmx #jquery #webperf

INP will become a Core Web Vital in March 2024 web.dev/inp-cwv/

Debugging 103 Early Hints is a pain in browsers! Current DevTools do not treat them as 1st class citizens: 🔴 Chrome: Not possible to debug reliably 🟠 Firefox (Nightly): Basic debugging only Here are a few improvement suggestions... #webperf #EarlyHints

This, so much this. You can't ignore TTFB, no performance improvement after TTFB can make up for a slow TTFB. At the same time it is not sufficient to ensure a good experience. It is one, very critical, piece. It is the foundation on which all other metrics are built.

I've been experimenting with the Pending Beacon API a bit (a more ergonomic and hopefully reliable way of sending beacons) and have a blog post to share the results nicj.net/beaconing-in-p…

It is 2023 and the recommendation to "turn it off and back on again" is still surprisingly effective

I really like Tailscale, just remember to turn it off when you are not actively using it. It eats battery at a rapid clip on my Intel MacBook Pro.

It is hard to overstate how strong the push for object-oriented programming was. It even bled out into other fields like education (look up "learning objects"). You had to organize your programming projects into hierarchical classes and you would be ridiculed if you did not. Java

I would be ok with this - dot-config.github.io

PSA: with no notice given, my account's DM settings were changed to only allow bluechecks. AKA the last people I want sending me DMs. Only noticed because someone else said it happened and I checked my own. You can change this in Settings > Privacy and Safety > Direct Messages.

I’m writing an extensive piece on Core Web Vitals and I’m reminded of the elegance of SpeedIndex as a metric. On a recent project, it pointed at UX issues that Largest Contentful Paint simply couldn’t have detected. Thanks, Patrick Meenan ❤️
