The somewhat ironic part about all the backlog of code to review thanks to AI coding tools is that AI is _significantly_ better at code review than it is at code generation.

Live view of me waiting for this day...
Gonna be a lot of fun with some awesome stuff to come!
Do I know anyone, or does anyone I know know anyone, at eBay who I can chat with about some things I'm running into with their API's?
AI automated support bots are one of the worst plagues to infest the internet. They are truly awful, infuriating and useless 95% of the time.
Please, I am begging, just let me talk to a real person.
So far, AI has been considerably better at the illusion of utility and intelligence than at actual utility and intelligence.
AI will have to pry em dashes out of my cold dead hands
Interesting conversation I had with my kids recently: my high-school daughters actively avoid using "big" words in their writing because they get accused of using ChatGPT. Literally dumbing down their writing to avoid being accused of using AI
I do firmly believe that if you're an individual or company that is NOT over-indexing on AI right now, you have the competitive advantage.
Unfortunately I do not have high hopes that the industry will recognize that until significant damage has been done.
Will definitely be making sure it's available both as a CLI and something that can be deployed somewhere.
I heard you found them? :)
We're rewriting the Readme and that's definitely one of the changes in there. :)
Very happy to work on a tool like that with @tkadlec.bsky.social and the team!
Please try it out and post the issues and PRs.
this checks out
problem is will I actually remember this come this time next year?
Phew ok you've got me beat this time. I've got another ~6 hours left. :)
I am so sincerely sorry for what I have done.
So fantastic to see you, as always Tammy. :) Have a safe trip home.
Appreciate it!
Please feel free to add issues for features, improvements, bugs, etc as you go! Or if you're particularly ambitious and bored, PR's. ;)
At the airport heading back after another incredible #perfnow.
Each year, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to be a part of the performance community. So many wonderful, kind, smart people all working together to make the web better.
Already looking forward to next year.
performance.now() 2026 will take place on 19th and 20th of November 2026. #perfnow.
Thanks, Philip. :)
Will get it merged.
just a couple old guys, yelling at things, us two
Always, always happy to see @yoav.ws get a shout-out. So much incredible work has happened because of him. Most recent example—speculation rules in WebKit. #perfnow
Telescope, the new cross-browser performance testing agent I mentioned at #perfnow that we @cloudflare.social have open-sourced is here: github.com/cloudflare/t...
We want this to be a tool the entire community is able to contribute to and benefit from, so please help us make it better!
I appreciate everyone at #perfnow letting me have my "old man yells at cloud" moment this morning.
Slides are now up: noti.st/tkadlec/3imH...
Michal Mocney presenting at perfnow about SPA heuristics, demoing being able to measure LCP and other metrics on soft navigations
I have been sooooo looking forward to this! SPA heuristics are gonna be such a huge step forward for measuring perf on the web and finally having hard data on the perf impact.

“We should treat accessibility as something that is structural or baked in or part of the DNA, if we want to be successful”

“Don’t treat it like trying to put chocolate chips into a cookie after it is baked”
I love this framing!

@inesakrap.bsky.social starting her #perfnow talk with Lego's and Bluey has me already a fan.
Slides from my @perfnow.nl talk — How Fast Is Fast Enough? — are up!
If you’re at #PerfNow (or even if you’re not) I’d love to talk about creating a delightful experience for your users.

Harry on the stage. Behind him, a slide that reads as follows: "While a good TTFB doesn't necessarily mean you will have a fast website, a bad TTFB almost certainly guarantees a slow one." — csswz.it/ttfb
Friendly reminder! #perfnow
