Hey friends, did you know you can make a modal <dialog> element dismissible by clicking outside (aka light dismiss) by adding `closedby=any` to it. That's it. That's all there is to it. <dialog closedby=any> developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... Chrome 134+, Firefox 140+, coming soon to Safari.

Reason to use web components and platform features number 100000: they are stable, rarely change, and therefore I suspect can be reliably generated/edited/used by AI assistants. Unlike a rapidly changing framework that has major version bumps and breaking features.

I just asked Claude Code to migrate my (very straight forward) Svelte app to web components...and it did it pretty much perfectly with minor tweaks and feedback from me. I'm sure it would need more guidance on a complex system but it's pretty impressive; especially for the $1.65 it cost!

Ahhh nothing like a 2 year old frontend side project to make you wish you'd used web components.

I was an AI skeptic - and to some extend, I still am! But I've embraced AI - its good and its bad - and found a way to make it work efficiently for me as a force multiplier. I wrote about my shift from resistance to augmentation and how I've incorporated it: www.jackfranklin.co.uk/blog/using-a...

If you can't do the work without Al, you can't check the Al. You don't know when it's hallucinating, and you don't know when what it's doing isn't the best or most appropriate way to do the work. And if you're totally reliant on Al, well, what do you bring to the table?

I'm actually pretty confident something like this is going to exist, or at least people will make good money being consultants to fix AI codebases.

Giving an AI an audio transcript and asking it to tidy it up and format it is great. I use it a lot when walking the dog to list what's in my head or things I need to remember to do.

A hill I will die on is that what separates the best engineers is their communication; whether that be face to face, design docs, PR descriptions, comments in code, choices in code, etc. Hope to see lots of you in Bristol this June!

Whilst I have some doubts about how much I'm willing to let AI write my code for me, it is incredibly helpful at building little bash scripts where I find the syntax and various tools (awk, sed) impossible to hold myself.
