Salut, web dev friends! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

I have selected some news from the web dev world to share.

โšก Improving site performance by shipping more CSS๐Ÿค” Ship fast is dead. Think slow๐Ÿ—๏ธ Introducing Clef๐Ÿพ Fixing the PR bottlenecks


Have a great week.


Github moved from css-in-js to CSS modules and CSS variables with ~22% less time passed in the server-rendering. CSS-in-JS is a cool technology but with modern CSS you can do a lot nowedays. With the IA becoming more advanced and more fast, we now can develop and ship more ยซ nativeย ยป code, we donโ€™t have to use so much layers which harm performance and is why we need a macbook pro with 16Gb of Ram to just visit a simple website in 2026.

Very good advice from Thomas, in a sea of slop you can be the lighthouse. Donโ€™t push 50 half finished slop project, try to solve one problem really really well and build from it.

๐Ÿ—๏ธIntroducing Clef

Clef the open-source concurrent of Jev which is only two weeks old lol.

Write more automated tests but good ones, use linter, type checker. Design your codebase in a way where you expose a small interface which is easily testable instead of testing every use case and line of your codebase.


Web tools and Library

๐Ÿ”ŽLeak fun

Also BrixHub. I discovered these OSINT websites, because there is kind of ยซย dramaย ยป in tiktok about a website which show the information of everybody. These informations are only from public sources and database breach, so itโ€™s fun to see the french love data transparency ( I am french and itโ€™s fucking cynical ).

โž•Pulls review
