These are my opinions and are ruminations on what might be happening as more and more developers use LLMs and Frameworks to build on the web.
In October last year I wrote “will developers care about frameworks in the future?” predicting that LLMs would abstract away framework choice. I was wrong—or at least, wrong about the timeline.
The reality is more interesting and more permanent: React isn’t competing with other frameworks anymore. React has become the platform. And if you’re building a new framework, library or browser feature today, you need to understand that you’re not just competing with React—you’re competing against a self-reinforcing feedback loop between LLM training data, system prompts, and developer output that makes displacing React functionally impossible.
Node.js® is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that lets developers create servers, web apps, command line tools and scripts.

“A.I.” browsers: the price of admission is too high | Vivaldi Browser
It’s a cliché that “data is the new oil” that will power the next industrial revolution. Where does the data that powers Artificial Intelligence come from? And if data is the fuel for AI…
The Browser Choice Alliance is a coalition of browsers dedicated to the principle that consumers should have the right to use their browser of choice on Windows devices.
Programming principles for self taught front-end developers
The majority of us are a bunch of self taught people with rather spotty knowledge and that's fine! Kilian (also self taught) is here to share some of the computer science fundamentals you probably are missing with the aim to improve your code in the long term.
After stumbling on a pair of interesting blog posts — You Don’t Need Kafka, Just Use Postgres (Considered Harmful) — somewhat in the style of good old “flame wars” (which are increasingly rare these days) in the recent Postgres Weekly, as a response to a previous article — Kafka is...
PostgreSQL 18 introduced a powerful new feature that lets you enforce uniqueness across time periods: Temporal Constraints. With this addition, you can now define UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, or FOREIGN KEY constraints by either Date Range or Timestamp Range fields, making it easier than ever to prevent overlapping data.
Did you know? Tables in PostgreSQL are limited to 1,600 columns
It's a hard-coded limit in Postgres for tables to not exceed 1,600 columns. Let's test all the ways you can reach that limit, and explore how to address the situation when you reach this limit unexpectedly.
