Just a random example of why you really shouldn't want to use certain plugins. Anything above 500ms is really bad for performance, but you really want to be much much lower.
So, three bad ones like this equals a bad performing WordPress site.
ALT WP CLI screenshot showing Elementor, Jupiter X Core, and WPML are horrible for performance.

Mate , it’s a style rule, not a chainsaw.
You’re not cautious — you’re just boring with a helmet on.

Still childish bs from wp leadership..
What's next? Arbitrary made-up tariffs? 😏

Yesterday I helped a friend with their startup's single server going down after an update. Turned out the contractor's AI generated code loads over 12k records from the database and presents them in JSON responses (on every request).
The pool of bad software contractors is already huge. With AI, I'm afraid it's getting even larger. I think it'll be very difficult for experienced coders to compete in contracting gigs.
Just saw a 2024 site with at least one css file over 1.6Mb.
Minified.
with tailwind.. How even.. #smh 🤦♀️

Psst, you no longer need JavaScript to create an exclusive accordion!
As of Chrome 120 you can give <details> elements a `name` value.
Just like radio buttons, those with the same name will form a group, of which only one can be chosen at the same time.

Wanted to know what Svelte is about? I just launched Svelte by Example! A succinct overview of all the fun in Svelte to get acquainted.

It seems @Pinterest is becoming completely unhinged.
They show me pins, and when I re-pin them I get a strike that I violate their community guidelines.
I guess some AI checking thing that gets completely overboard..
Learn how to draw they said, it'll be fun they said..

Wordle but you have to get the Hex value of the shown color. First time player and I got it (at the last attempt, but still 😉)

Not me cursing for too long and changing every bit I could find to make the API request work, to eventually see header: {} instead of headers: {}

Stupid #JS question: does anyone have experience with turning large images into millions of particles animated on canvas (millions of fill() calls every frame)? Does OffscreenCanvas help with performance? Any other tips, particularly when I can't group fills?
