Wabi-Sabi and Whitespace: Eastern Philosophy for Web Design What I learned from studying traditional aesthetics that completely changed how I build interfaces Last year, I spent three weeks in Kyoto. Temples everywhere. One rainy afternoon, I ducked into a small museum dedicated to traditional craftwork. I wasn't expecting much. I'm a web developer, not an art historian. But something clicked. T
Why Figma MCP Isn’t Enough Why Figma MCP Alone Can’t Guarantee Production-Ready UI — and What Product Teams Must Do Instead Extraordinary results require an extraordinary team. I’m surrounded by people who treat design and development like a mission. They are warriors in the tech trenches, and this win belongs to them. No fluff. No filler. Just the facts on how we shattered our veloci
Firefox Extension Icons: Sizes, Formats, and SVG vs PNG The icon is the first thing users see in AMO search results and the add-ons bar. Getting it right matters. For a complete Firefox extension, provide icons at these sizes: { "icons": { "16": "icons/icon-16.png", "32": "icons/icon-32.png", "48": "icons/icon-48.png", "96": "icons/icon-96.png", "128": "icons/icon-128.png"

This is not a hypothetical. It is the everyday reality of distributed systems: multiple nodes, no shared clock, no guaranteed network. The conventional answer has long been locking - one node waits while an
I keep seeing the same argument about AI making us dumber. It's the same argument people had about search engines, and before that books. The usual response is to point at history and say "every generation panics, every generation was wrong, relax." I think that response is half right, and the wrong half is what bothers me. Tools change what we bother to remember. The people who'd trained their wh
Try this. Find a photo on your phone that you love. Now squint, or zoom out until it's the size of a stamp. It's still the same photo. You can still tell what's in it. But something about it has gone a little flat — the part that made you take it in the first place has quietly walked out of the room. Most of us would describe what just happened with a shrug: "it's just smaller." But the truth is m
