Show Description
We tackle a listener question about why junior front-end devs are expected to know so much beyond HTML and CSS, then get into Dave's real-world fix swapping old WebKit line-clamp hacks for the new CSS line-clamp property and the subtle bugs that kind of truncation work can cause. They also debate whether AI tools like Claude or Copilot deserve co-author credit on commits, gripe about agent-only coding workflows that skip linting and hide what's actually happening, and wrap up looking at new platform features like the navigation API and a proposed CSS-based routing approach using @route and @view-transition.

Notion
Write custom tools for Notion Agents that generate assets, query live data, and hit any API. Listen for incoming webhooks from any app, then run workflows with Notion Agents, pages, databases, and external APIs.

All of this, on a hosted runtime. Workers are isolated sandboxes managed by Notion, so the code behind your syncs, tools, and workflows runs on our infra instead of your servers.
