The “Productivity Paradox” is officially here. In early 2026, we’ve seen that high-velocity code generation without architectural oversight leads to massive technical debt. As senior developers, we’re moving away from simple autocompletion toward local-first AI coding agents that offer transparency and data sovereignty.

Prescriptive class name conventions are no longer enough to keep CSS maintainable in a world of increasingly complex interfaces. Can the new @scope rule finally give developers the confidence to write CSS that can keep up with modern front ends?

Flowbite is an open-source UI framework that you can also use to build applications for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude using the Skybridge framework for building MCP applications

Creative ideas don’t always arrive fully formed — often, they take shape through exploration, trial and error, and refinement.

With our new AI image editing tool, Vectorize, you can turn raster images into editable vectors, allowing you to tweak, refine, and scale designs directly in Figma.

Peter Steinberger ships more code than I’ve seen a single person ship: in January, he made more than 6,600 commits alone (!!). As he puts it:

This week we’re taking a look at the workflow used to write production-quality code with AI, because this tells us a lot about how UX research and product design roles will change in the future.

I received 177 responses from senior designers and content designers. But the best response came from Joyce, a self-proclaimed non-designer.

In practice, the hard part isn’t writing code, it’s everything that comes before it. Which component should be used? Which props are correct for this case? How does this behave with keyboard navigation and screen readers? What tokens to apply?

OpenAI is shifting its focus to improving its flagship chatbot, scaling back long-term research efforts, a move that has led to the exit of several senior employees. The strategy change comes as the roughly $500 billion company faces mounting competition from rivals such as Google and Anthropic.
