i love tailwind, but when you're not in styling mode using the tailwind fold () extension really helps clean up your templates for easy parsing

where can ai help us the most when it comes to programming? I don’t think it’s primarily in writing code, but refactoring it, testing it, documenting it, translating it. some early glimpses of what we’re working on

The more we build the more I’m convinced the easiest way to build robust UIs for the web is with Atomic CSS only (tailwind/tachyons)

the best zsh alias i have is `todo`, mapped to `alias todo='git grep -l TODO | xargs -n1 git blame -f -n -w | grep "$(git config )" | grep TODO | sed "s/.\{9\}//" | sed "s/(.*)[[:space:]]*//"'`
and gives you a list of todos you authored...

people often ask me how you design really nice products, and the truth is caring 100x more about things than anyone else will bother to. perfect example:
Another small detail but one I think feels really nice: when resizing Ghostty, a native UI overlay shows the grid dimensions. Other terminals show grid dimensions on resize but none (afaik) use a native GUI widget to do it. I think it feels much nicer! This works on Linux too.
