> Your premise that the browser implementation is faster and better is rarely true
Thankfully, this opinion is measurably false just by reviewing source code of any website. What you're referring to, primarily, are categories of elements like form elements like <datalist> and that's fair.
This is why the web community is asked to support improving the platform through submissions to Interop, such as this one for <datalist>

Thanks for correcting me!

If I'm torn about anything for Tor 15, it's that the cadence didn't align with a minimum of Firefox 144 as base.
Why?
View Transitions support being implemented in 144 is a very big deal and pushes the web forward for native transition animations.
In the next two or three versions before the end of 2025, Anchor Positioning will also be a big deal.
So, congrats on Tor 15, but Tor 16 will bring a massive improvement for Tor!

I thought the provided video did a good job describing what's coming.

This article is a good reminder of another one from late last year:

In the above article, Harry gives a more nuanced and specific method using data attributes to target specific anchors in the document, one reason being you don't need to prerender login or logout pages.

Since last year, I've finally finished two WordPress plugins I wasn't able to completely figure out, I've built new tiny apps that I previously would be stuck on, I am improving existing projects that I have up to Github now, and more. I think my abilities are enhanced by probably 25-50%.

Middle management for software engineering has gone through a paradigm shift. The trend for businesses is flatter structures, manager roles with more responsibilities and this reality largely includes being as deep in the code as direct reports.
Since 2023, most roles I reviewed or interviewed for were player/coach roles, often close to 50/50 split. In my last EM role, I was hired for exactly this.
I found very few EM roles that are primarily managing with only "being in the code"; I can count on my hands out of hundreds of Engineering Manager roles. Probably closer to 95% or more EM roles require hands-on technical work similar to Tech Lead roles.

60 minutes did a segment for this type of treatment at WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience in West Virginia. It's intriguing.

I could have written all of this myself. It exactly mirrors how I progressed to the same conclusions. Very well said!
